It's not like its a staple of mythic storytelling to have a character's parent die and drive them. Almost like-- like it's a fantasy story.
Oh shit it's almost like the movie's story that's explicitly leading into a game about male bonding and dudes on a road trip is triggered in part by the death of feminine influence in his life. Like he's growing up and-- ah fuck it, can't make games with themes of being men. Can't do that. You can only make games and movies about what it's like to be a woman and only men can die.
It's almost as if they chose a mother specifically to explain an emotional response and hopefully incite one in the viewer/player. Almost as if people become more emotional when a woman is harmed. Huh. Weird.
