Just earlier today (technically yesterday as it's post midnight) I finally got around to watching Blade Runner 2049 with my younger brother. I've seen it numerous times, he hasn't.
He liked it well enough, but when
That's to be expected, because he's my brother and it's awkward enough, but I asked him "what?" cus I'd jokingly warned him there was a lot of nudity, to which he replied "every film about AI!"
While technically not true about all AI films, he was reffering to a similar comment he made a while back when we first saw the trailer for Ghost in the Shell were Scarlet Johansen kisses a woman in the trailer and dances on a strip pole at another point.
I also thought about how Westworld, a show he hasn't seen but I have, is like Blade Runnder filled with a
Ex-Machinima as well, as much as I like that film,
And I haven't even gotten into Altered Carbon yet.
But I suppose the thing is that it's not just AI or even sci-fi. A lot of media that's supposedly approching topics about philisophical or mature concepts just see it it as a convenient excuse to fill themselves with unecesary gratuitous female nudity because "nudity is mature guyz!".
So does anyone else see it as a bit weird that we're seeing this eccessive rise in specifically good looking young-ish naked women in film and TV the past decade? Like Cyberpunk the game suposedly has nudity, but after Witcher 3 I expect it to be just a ton of hot 20-30 year old women for 90% of the time.
Edit:
Cus some of you are incapable of critical thought let me be clear. I'm not saying that nudity is bad or should be gone. I'm just making a point that a lot of films and TV shows see the inclusion of nudity as a mature topic as instead an excuse to go overboard with it.
2nd Edit:
removed the bit about Westworld being gratuitous as people are right about that. I was just using it as an example
He liked it well enough, but when
we got to the scene were the hookers approach K he rolled his eyes at the moaning naked women against the opaque glass. This scene being not too long after Jared Letos bit with the other naked woman.

Ex-Machinima as well, as much as I like that film,
absolutely did not need its two main women to be as naked for as long as they did.
