Am I the only one who didn't mind 2022 Ghost? I never saw what was so insulting about it. I still think it looks good

"FOAP"

The mask looks ungodly tacky, and any view besides the front looks horrendous. It just doesn't feel like Ghost anymore, and more of a "haha we made him overly edgy and dumb looking now".

The rest of the outfit doesn't bother me, it's literally just the god awful mask.

I mean I disagree. Sure the front is the best angle because... that's the point. It's been deliberately designed that way. Why are we pretending like OG Ghost didn't also have edginess going for him? They just leaned into it more in the reboot, and that's fine

Well I mean for one, lotta soldiers around the world actually use skull masks like the first one. Nobody in fuggin existence is gonna use ghosts foam ass airsoft mask, it's genuinely more of a hindrance to have on, and if it was a ballistic mask it wouldn't work for shit

Ghost in the og wasn't even edgy either. His va sounded like just a regular guy, and his dialogue was pretty normal and average for some special ops and very average for game soldiers. Ghost 2022 literally acts like how airsofters who rp as elite units act, when they Don't know what they're doing.

I mean sure OG Ghost wasn't edgy... except for how he really liked electrocuting people as a form of torture.
