Re: Feminist Analysis of TFoR
Posted By: Architechnid <architechnid@gmail.com>Date: 7/2/12 1:02 a.m.

In Response To: Re: Feminist Analysis of TFoR (TDSpiral)


: Very interesting analysis here, I hadn't actually thought about the
: Covenant's colors in a long time. And that was a great point about the
: Elite's blood color being associated with the color of their blood. Though
: that may have just been a coincidence.

: I think the big thing with the purple is just to make the Covenant quite
: obviously alien. The olive drab colors that we associate the UNSC and
: modern day military colors with is mostly because those are the colors of
: the battlefield. It matches their surroundings, which is usually covered
: in neutral earth tones. But then you see a big elegant purple ship and you
: automatically think "well, that's definitely not from Earth".

Agreed. The colors of the UNSC are an extension of modern military, for the purpose of blending in. The covenant colors, I hazard a guess, are there for practical, game making reasons. Also, being nearly opposite on the color wheel, pink and purple make an excellent contrast to the normative green we associate with military.

As for her analysis of the female characters in TFoR, while I don't disagree with any of her analysis, I found the video to be too long, and very tangential.

Gobza! Give it a look-see...
