I rarely hate a bad guy as well as I hate Voss in Indiana Jones and The Great Circle

Not only because he is a fascist. That’s because he is one Smartass Nazi Germany. As the main villain at Indiana Jones and The Great Circle, Emmerich Voss drums the prototype armchair often for secondary fascists, so that he can go straight to the big chair himself. He smiled at all the sluggishness of the right -hand man, Gestapo’s irritable, who was burned in the Raids of Ark Lost Ark. However, he also participated in the fake trash conversation of the main archaeologist with Jones, like Rene Belloq or Walter Donovan. He is a hideous pocket of all the things that make a hateful villain immediately in the series. But there is something else. Voss is very difficult and obnoxious because he is like a type of racism not encountered in the 1930s, but a friend who can meet today: the asshole you meet on the internet.

Warning: This is Spoilers.

From the first moment we met Voss in this beautiful first -person adventure, he was scary. He touched his face strangely. He talked about the surgery of the muscles around his mouth, observing that Vaticling Ventura had an interesting Orbis Orbicularis. This was the villain of Batshit and it evoked a disgust of his fear. He soon overwhelmed the “holy” man with blackmail and took what he wanted from the Vatican relic. Voss will continue in this vein throughout the game, alternating between mucus and threat, but the nature of his extorting is also the first sign of his other hobby: psychology.

This became clear when he was forced to work with Gantz, his colleague Adolf Stan and Wermacht’s officer. The two were in Loggerheads, and Voss deliberately increased their partners, telling a partner that this was part of his control method: “Nothing is quite easy to manipulate as an unsafe man.” Gantz, for his part, is a Hothead and a enthusiastic person for Reich. He could not see that Voss simply said anything would make him angry.

It is not clear whether Voss even believes what he is saying half of the time. Most of everything he told other characters was unreliable, like an eel, the miniature image of bad faith. Voss is not just a student of psychology. He is a student of mute pop psychology. He was happy with Gantz’s anger by making an impression of apes and mocking “his embarrassment effort in dominance”. He is the type of guy who continues to talk about “Nam Alpha” and “Nam Beta” even when the origin of that idea in animals is mostly rejected. Later, he came to earn Gantz’s loyalty in a wildlife, mainly due to the accident of the man, but he held it not with the instinct of a wolf, but with the opportunity of an opportunity of a spiritual crane.

Therefore, Voss is psychologically manipulated. This is the act of villains, but nothing new in the great plan of everything, right. However, the quality and style of his manipulation made him very blamed. He is a stir transparent. He didn’t try to hide what he was doing, and laughed when he went back. While Indy and Gina had him kneeling at the gun point, he giggled when he hit Jones about his past relationships. “Are you afraid of becoming a father?” He asked, then, with that Sleazeball smile. “No, you are afraid to become your dad.”

Absolutely no half between this guy, he just goes straight to whatever will make you uncomfortable. He is not Walter White, he manipulates emotions like an internet troll. Publicity, in clear vision, with a fleshy smile. Yes, I doubt, a reason why his face has all the folds and wrinkles of a famous meme. He kept smiling at the discomfort, anger and anxiety that he caused. What a great Shitheel.

He also has the answer for everything. Or rather, an annoying question for everything. When Indy was trying to decipher a lost language in the presence of Nazi Germany, Voss mocked all his conjectures, harassed all observations – all tried to make Indy angry and made him reveal his knowledge in an impatient action. When doing this, Voss reminds me of a prototype on another Internet – Mr. Gotcha – a fierce promotion, who seems to deliberately miss any valid criticism by giving some unrelated counterparts. “We should improve archeology somewhat,” you can tell Voss. “But you participate in archeology, Dr. Jones. Interesting.” Oh, damn, Emmerich.

Voss is a strong character in the story – and is the best written character in it, for my money – because he transforms a classic hatred character into a form that we can easily recognize today. The Nazi Germany in the middle of the twentieth century became further away as many decades passed, and when becoming Bogeymen could kill the endless video games of video games, they were turned into a warning legend that we could shoot, but never see close -up. Like an ancient marble statue, we know what that hatred looks like, but we don’t see the color that it has been drawn. Voss allows us to encounter a full fascism, even if the saturation is sometimes pumped to the magnification level. He saw everything through a lens of unmarried strength and joy not only had power to others, like any Baddie, but also annoying and humiliating them on it. He is a terrible student bullying, who has learned some big words.

When the game starts, you will see a message that rejects the responsibility clearly saying that the game does not agree with fascism. This is a legal, perhaps, but it is also an unnecessary humorous warning. That is not necessary for anyone who meets Voss. A man so intense that he learns how he will die is also such a powerful motivation to complete the game as finding the next easy -to -discovery place. Developers at Machine Games proposed in a behind -the -scenes marketing video they intend to allow him to have under the player’s skin the same way he is under Indy’s skin. Yes, the task has been completed. I was also happy to meet him and bubbling in my mouth with wrath whenever I thought about him. Well, in the late awareness, is a divided mind that he totally likes to see, the surprising mouse.
