This Day in Marathon.
Day #699. Do Runners Dream of Electric Cats?  Marathon Save the Date animated scene by courtana (@courtana) on tumblr. April 7, 2025 Something that Joseph Cross (@josephacross) posted recently caught my attention. He wrote: This is one of my favorite key images from early visual development around Runners & consciousness, exploring visual metaphor.
Back on May 24, 2023 Bungie announced Marathon. Front and center on the marathonthegame.com website was the following text promoting the trailer.  Here's the text part.  ...and back again... and back again... and back again... Fast forward to April 12, 2025 and in the Marathon Reveal Cinematic Short, Runners undergo Grounding exercises before going on mission. In several scenes Runners appear to have difficultly in remember past details about themselves. To paraphrase Marathon 2... they're a little fuzzy. Back on November 29, 2023 I wrote how the concept of putting a human consciousness in an android body was explored in the tv series Westworld (4 seasons, 2016 - 2022). "Every piece of information in the world has been copied. Backed up. Except the human mind... the last analog device in a digital world. We weren't here to code the hosts. We were here to decode the guests. Humans are playing at resurrection. They want to live forever."However, in Westworld it didn't work. The mind began to degrade in a matter of days. The last part of the Marathon Reveal Cinematic Short is interesting in that it shows VOID VII (yes that's a seven) and a hint that something is not quite right. To paraphrase Marathon... Everything is not as it seems{}. seems{}. seems{}.. |
