Cinematic is pure Oddworld
Complaining about this cinematic not being "dark" enough, or silly, indicates false memories: Oddworld has *always* has always been imbued with comedy.
* Getting eaten alive by fleeches -> fleech burps
* Dialogue of Aslik, Dripik, and Phleg is disturbing, but mannerism funny
* When the shaman discovers Abe after his fall in AO, he says "whooa"
* Exploding farts
Oddworld manages to be simultaneously funny, weird, evocative, and subversive. Moreover, the comedy serves as an anchor to relatability.
Some of you guys spend too much time here. Not an insult, just a fact.
