rwlh 10/22/19 10:02:50 PM #109:	17. Brad Armstrong (LISA) Nominated by TheArkOfTurus No. You don't understand. I've been dead for 35 years. Today is the day I live. In a post-apocalyptic world where monsters run amok and women have long since disappeared, Brad Armstrong tries to protect his adopted daughter Buddy from the horrors around them. But Brads type of protection is unhealthy, shaped by the traumas from his own childhood. A joyless man (no pun intended), Brad seems like a deconstruction of the patriarchal badass type, fighting to stave off his own demons as much as protect those he loves. This is a man who would sooner doom the human race than part with a girl he wants to act protective of...but he fails all the same. Brad can lose one or both of his arms in the game. Perhaps its symbolic of the fact that his struggles are primarily internal that these losses dont seem to slow him down much. LISA explores parental bonds and childhood trauma through a fantastical lens. At one point Buddy has a hallucination of Brad, and eventually he just tries hugging and healing her. Eventually he starts sobbing. He is also addicted to drugs. One wonders if he deserves the title of hero, or if everything hes done has been for selfish reasons and if so, does that even matter? <cite>rwlh posted [p:929117394] in I rank vid...
