History

On December 12th, 2024, during the The Game Awards ceremony, game studio Naughty Dog announce its upcoming sci-fi action-adventure video game Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, in development since 2020.[1] At the ceremony, the reveal trailer for the game premiered, with two uploads gaining over a million views on YouTube[2][3] in one day combined (shown below).

Gameplay and Features

Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is an action-aventure video game following the story of Jordan A. Mun, a bounty hunter who ends up stranded on Sempiria, a distant planet whose communication with the outside universe was lost hundreds of years ago.

Online Reactions

Following the announcement of the game and the release of the reveal trailer, Intergalactic became a viral subject of discussions on social media. The choice of the protagonist, a Black Asian female bounty hunter with a shaved head, was one topic of discussions and memes on X and 4chan in the day following the game's release, with users also posting edits. Several edits referencing Avatar: The Last Airbender were circulated online during that period (example[4] shown below).

Multiple users made jokes about the director of the game Neil Druckmann, stemming from both far-left and far-right userbase dislike for the director for different reasons. For example, X[5] user @4ERESYOURLETTER posted an I'm Out! 1.3 Seconds image caption meme that received over 920 reposts and 9,800 likes in one day (shown below).

Other memes expressed disappointment that Intergalactic turned out to be one of the two expected major announcements made at The Game Awards ceremony together with The Witcher 4, proving the rumors of either Half-Life 3 being announced or news about Hollow Knight: Silksong's development or a Bloodborne remaster being shared wrong.

I want to talk about something

I remember an oldie anime I saw on TV over a decade ago, Vandread. Science fiction with space battles and stuff…also pretty ecchi.

If my memory serves, one character was a pretty Stereotypically gay(?) and pathetic "pretty boy". Not that much dept to him.

Until they came across a planet filled with sickly people, where he forms a bond with a little girl, who makes little rag dolls of the characters, but she dies before she could finish up his doll, with only the hair missing

The episode ended with him walking proudly on the bridge carrying the doll,camera panning to show his head clean shaved. And his design remained like that to the end of the series.

It's just a small thing from an anime I haven't heard mentioned in years. But it stuck to me to this day.

All this to say, a character shaving their head can have a powerful meaning to them.

Of course. That might not be nowhere near why such character design was chosen here lol
