David Cage At His Worst
If you like stories that zig-zag randomly between the past and future, Beyond Two Souls might ruin the idea. In addition to simply being hard to fallow, it's an effort to hide blatant contradictions like Jodie being 2 wildly different types of teenagers in the span of a year. Willam drops her off at a non-friend's birthday party because she's shy and "should make friends". They underage drink and use trashy witch-trial thinking to lock her in a closet; Aiden, the ghost tethered to her since birth, can unload an unhealthy dose of violent catharsis including a kitchen fire and knife into Alistair/Wheatley's shoulder. Later, Jodie is somehow now a rebellious punk who loudly despises Willam and lies to sneak out of the high-security facility to meet her "friends" at a bar. They aren't there, but Aiden has another violent spree with attempted rapists at the bar getting dead (Make the bartender take a shotgun to the mouth!) while Jodie cries in fetal position on the pool table. I later learn that I could have left the bar, but it only becomes available after I failed to get caught and gave up on trying to leave. These "friends" aren't confirmed as the partiers, but I see no other reason for this sudden change in personality than their influence and that itself seems impossible with that closet garbage. Even worse is Jodie being conscripted by a sleazy government stooge and her reasonable objection is dismissed as "teenage angst"; later, she's at odds with Aiden because he ideally tries to ruin her date with the stooge. She gave into Stockholm, I guess; but the main takeaway is that David Cage had all these ideas of the kinds of trouble that a girl with powers would face but he's too pretentious to understand that some personality traits contradict each other.
