So, after 13 years, we finally get to see what the original BioShock protagonist Jack really looks like, and guaranteed it’s not what you’d expect. It’s always fun when our expectations get shattered.
Okay, perhaps that’s a bit dramatic. Depends on how attached you are to the mental image of Jack you’ve had in your head all this time. And for those of us who are die hard BioShock fans, it’s safe to assume we’re probably very attached.
As mentioned, it’s not terribly shocking. He’s still a male. He’s still a human. He’s just…old. Not sure about you, but we imagined Jack to be somewhat more youthful in appearance. You know, to match the youthful vigor with which he relentlessly powers his way through the hazard-ridden underwater metropolis.
This guy puts it particularly amusingly:
Ready to kick back in their recliner and fall asleep in front of a late-night showing of It’s a Wonderful Life, Jack looks more like a bloke on the verge of retirement than a combat-hardened man able to go toe-to-toe with Rapture’s hostile inhabitants.
