Can I be a gunslinger, or do I have to be a hooker because it'd be more 'realistic'? Same with the medieval world. Could I be a knight or would I have to be a slave girl?
Seeking a superhero for the end of the world.
you could be a female goddess and make us guys worship you...oh wait you already do that here.....umm then youd have to decide
shareWouldn't it make better sense to challenge the premise in the question:
Why would a woman want to go to Westworld?
Aah, yes, I suppose she would if she wanted to prove a stupid feminist point...
It seems to me that the Delos corporation purposefully marketed Westworld to 'the boys' and Romanworld to appease the sex-starved women. Wasn't that implied in the introductory advertisement?
Is it really that different from the modern world? 😅... 😓
shareZombie thread, but interesting premise. For (well) over $6K/day in today's dollars, you could be whatever the heck you wanted to be, and the robots would react as programmed. The laws of physics would create a bit more of a challenge to maintain 100% immersion in hand to hand combat, but firearms being the great equalizer they are, I can't think of any reason gunfights would be different from the POV of any guest, as long as their arms were mostly complete and functional.
shareHaving women gunslingers and knights would create an element of non-realism in the Westworld fantasies, which are supposed to simulate realism. Too bad for you.
shareTo be fair the touted "realism" of the park seems to play upon the guests' pop culture notions of how life must have been like back in the day. A knight fighting for the love of a queen by doing battle within castle walls against a diabolical "black knight" is more akin to a Walter Scott novel than actual medieval societies.
Romanworld is described as "a lusty treat for the senses in the setting of delightful, decadent Pompeii." Clearly the emphasis is less on an accurate rendition of Roman life and more on an idealized, eroticized portrayal of a very small segment of the Roman population.
I also notice that the park seems to discourage frequent interactions between guests (the protagonist and James Brolin's character, entering the park as friends, are exceptions that prove the rule.) Delos seems to have things planned so that guests experience their fantasies without being interrupted by other guests trying to experience their own fantasies.
So with all that said, it would make perfect sense for a woman guest to be able to fulfill a fantasy of acting as a gunslinger if that is what the guest wanted (and, as the movie notes, these guests pay good money to attend the park.)
A Hooker please
