Why did they change Gaia's titan design?

[Scion7Dawn]

Was it too revealing?

[jonoliveira12]

It was a woman in lingerie.

They did well in changing it, to fit the other Titans. What I hope they do revert, is her god art portrait, because she-groot is ugly and does not even fit the mythology, or the actual real world representations of Gaia.

Because DEI are as prudish as religious radicalists.

Wokeness is a post-theistic religion, with adherents, a creed, scripture, priests and everything.

Just goes to show that you can never get rid of religion, because society functions like one at base level.

Please revert Gaia to woman with grapes

Yes, the greek woman with curly hair and grapes on it, would be the best god portrait representation, and be respectuful of the original depiction.
I would also like for them to change Kronos from a monster golem, to a man with long, straight black/grey beard and hair.
It pays to be respectful of original depictions, since it enriches teh cultural value of the game, and AoM was all about entertaining AND teaching, with that big encyclopedia it had.

That's boring as hell. Imagine how anticlimactic it would be to go through the campaign, and from the dramatic evil looking Tartarus gate on the last level, some old guy in a toga steps out. Re-designing him was a good choice for the game.

A HUGE man with a scythe is far scarier than generic lava golem. Also I am talking about the god portrait.

[Arnold Rimmer is AFK]

Who cares though? Honestly? It's AOM: Retold, not AOM 2001. I'm wanting a fresh look, otherwise I'd just keep playing my old copies.

Kinda tired of reading vibeogane melodrama about nothing burgers every 5 seconds.

I care. I want the matronly woman with the grapes on her hair, like it was Gaia's actual mythological portrayal, on the god portrait.
Better than Grootella, that stinks of Marvel design and disrespects the original cult.

What's worse is that they didn't even manage to capture her energy and character in that depiction, she looks mean, spiteful even. Not caring and motherly, changing the physical appearance is one thing but that really doesn't work as a portrayal for her.

[jonoliveira12]

I like how she was portrayed in Blood of Zeus season 2. They also made her a plant woman, but at least she looks like she is a matronly woman that wants what is best for everyone.

Gaia needs to be done justice.

Yeah bit of a shame, I way prefer the og look to her
