For Twitch streamer Asmongold, it is clear: nerds and video games have conquered the world. What was embarrassing during his school days is now allowed and cool. In the past, 15 or 20 years ago, video games were only for losers; today, that’s different. He sees this in the example of actor Robert Pattinson (“Batman”), who admits in an interview that he cried while playing Final Fantasy VII.
This is the situation:
- Robert Pattinson played Batman in 2022, with Zoë Kravitz as Selena Kyle, aka Catwoman, by his side.
- The two gave an interview to the French show Clique to promote the film.
- In this interview, Pattinson talked about his love for Final Fantasy VII and how you had to choose between two women. He cried at Aerith’s death. Zoë Kravitz looks at him as if he has lost his mind.
Pattinson explains the love triangle in Final Fantasy VII
This is what Pattinson said: The interviewer admits to Pattinson that he also cried at a video game. Zoë Kravitz, daughter of the coolest rock star in the world, reacts with confusion: What’s going on here?
Pattinson explains: Yes, he cried at Final Fantasy VII. There is a love triangle between the player and the characters Aerith and Tifa.
Aerith is a nice person, has superpowers, and can heal everyone.
His film partner reacts curtly, questioning whether this is the ideal perception of a woman, that she should be responsible for healing everyone:
“We poor women always have to heal everyone.”
But Pattinson remains undeterred: Tifa is this sexy woman in a mini skirt. You just can’t decide.
Zoë Kravitz looks at him more and more bewildered, her expression seems to say: “Are you serious?”
A woman who heals the world – and one in a short skirt – Are you serious?
Yet Pattinson continues, “And then Aerith dies.” That’s the way every man discovered what love is.
It is clear: the scene must have broken his young heart back then.
Kravitz, slightly disdainful: So the choice is between a girl who heals everyone and one in a short skirt? Oh my God. That’s the problem with the world.
In the past, his opinion was stupid – Now, she’s the stupid one
What does Asmongold think? The poster child nerd of Twitch is unsurprisingly completely on Pattinson’s side. He sees in the clip and the reactions to it proof of how the world has changed.
The video shows that nerds have won the world.
When Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz, and he himself were still in school, Zoë Kravitz was the cool one and Pattinson’s opinion was stupid. Video games were only for losers. But now she is the stupid one: “We won!” he says. In the comments, everyone agrees: Pattinson is reasonable, Kravitz is not.
The times have changed.
A new era has also begun for Asmongold: Asmongold, king of the nerds, has a new girlfriend, and his fans are scrutinizing her critically
