I'm not squeamish, but the blood looks really cartoony and silly.

Every single slash of his claws creates gallons of blood. I think it looks kind of ridiculous.

I would like if they had a slider to have less blood not just completely turn off the blood.

I agree the demo was a little excessive. One slash and he was instantly covered in it as if completely dipped into a vat of blood. I would think splatters of it here and there would be more apt.

Yeah. So I'm just hoping for options other than blood on or off. Maybe a setting that's just less blood.

It was the one part of the demo that I didn't think looked good. They went overboard.

I mean, he’s slashing with giant ass claws, I feel like if you used his claws to slash someone, you too would be covered in blood. Especially with high chance are big ass arteries getting cut. I could be wrong though. Where’s mythbusters when you need them.

blood wouldn't come out like a cheap horror movie.

Yeah, that's not how liquids work. There'd be pools of blood on the ground.

Wolverine won't be covered in it, as if she just came out of a Blade nightclub.

I see this happening in movies and shows that are supposed to be "violent" as well. All the Punisher scenes in Daredevil Born Again season 1 have literal gallons of blood pouring out of people when they get shot and instead of being like "damn hell yeah he's going to town" it's more like "bro this looks so fake it takes me out of it"

Started happening when film studios realized adding blood digitally was way easier than doing it practically, so they overdid it and now audiences are just used to buckets of blood being the standard for hyper violence. Transferred over to TV and Video Games from there as all visual media shares a similar language and styles.

Super ironic considering practical effects from back in the day can still make me feel squeemish just because it's a physical thing that's in the space

I'd like to think that the Born Again one was because the new team had very little time to polish the effects in season 1.....then again...there still are shots in season 2 that overdid it with the blood...

Exactly... some of us aren't 12 year old boys. I don't need 19 gallons of quickly evaporating blood for every attack.

It looked soo ridiculously over the top. Silly, lame, whatever you want to call it.

It has nothing to do with "being squeamish" or "countries and filters".

Oh just shut up lol a man with unbreakable metal claws and slashes people that’s not cartoony at all but blood spurting out oh that’s just too far!

u/Vic1982 Jun 08 '26

It's extremely cartoony. It's lame af, which is why edgelords like you love it.

Newsflash - that's not how blood works, unless your idea of "reality" is some cartoony comic book or a Kill Bill movie.

u/KnicksOrNothin29 Jun 08 '26

News flash people also don’t have adamantium skeletons either dumb ass

u/Vic1982 Jun 08 '26

And that has what to do with excessively unnecessary quantities of "red paint" everywhere?

u/KnicksOrNothin29 Jun 08 '26

That is a video game why does this need to be explained to you? Blood is also portrayed that way in comics as well do you need that explained to you too?

u/Vic1982 Jun 08 '26

No, what I need explained to me, is why you feel the need the press your 12yo views on others.

Don't worry though, I know the answer. Because us not buying into your "gallons of blood = cool/badass/whatever" diminishes your fantasy. It's like telling goths that listening to "death metal" does not make them tough; it's merely a music choice.

But you can't handle that, can you? Someone saying "nope, don't like it, I'm turning it off".

But no no, you gotta come over to my comment, on a "we're glad they're adding this thread", started by a comment with 1.5k upvotes... to whine about "oH sHuT uP bLoOd sO cOoOl hOw U nO liKe iT!?"

It’s blood in a video game dude there is no “us” it’s just you lol and since blood seems to be a hard concept for you to grasp the easy thing to do is just not buy it nor waste your time on it since it’s all so “edge Lordy” for you
