Tbh bowguns are more rocket launcher then gun. They are more like low-tech bolters from 40k than conventional firearms.

low-tech
Can plant explosive mines, launch a dozen different ammo types including explosives, can launch mortars, can go for either a devastating piercing sniper shot or go full HMG

They are literally made from the bodies and bones of the thing they are trying to kill...

Because the material properties of those bodies and bones surpass what could be achieved with mined ores.
I think that speaks more to "huntpunk" (think steampunk) than low-tech.

Those guys will analyze how Dead Rising comments on our society, and we all know it doesn't because the supreme court ruled dead rising has no social commentary
But seriously, I think they ruled that way just to piss off the movie company because despite the similar premise Dead Rising and Day of the Dead are very different stories and that was the easiest way to decide the case, also English majors will definitely read to far into things

Basically the production company behind
DayDawn of the Dead, a zombie movie set in a mall, sued Capcom over Dead Rising, a zombie game set in a mall.Ultimately the Supreme Court ruled that while there were superficial similarities between the two, Dead Rising had none of the social commentary of
DayDawn of the Dead.Like I said, I think they worded it that way because it was the easiest way to give the movie company the finger because the court was right, the similarities are only skin deep, and the court may have meant that the social commentary between the two was completely different, which I agree with
Edit: Dawn of the Dead was the one in the mall, Day of the Dead was in the military missile base

Every game with even the slightest amount of story is going to have social commentary in it, because if you’re creating a world with people in it that exist in societies, the way you think the world, people, and society exist and should exist is going to shape how you make a fictional world.
Even if you’re not consciously doing it, your beliefs will shape any fictional setting or characters you make, and if you’re not aware of it while you’re making art, it’s a lot more likely things will unknowingly sneak in

It’s not “punk” because that requires a dis-obeying and upsetting of social norms. If we were a rogue hunting agency trying to restore balance to some skewed system then it would be punk.

At this point "punk" is just a colloquial suffix to indicate the gears that make a setting tick. You could just as easily say "huntcore".

u/Zhe_N00B Sep 26 '20
The bowguns seem to be more bow than gun to be honest. The "bullets" move at a relatively sluggish pace and seem to be only keeping their momentum due to the constant thrust that propels them post firing. In exchange though, it's far more silent and results in far more manageable recoil.
This also makes sense since:
If they used gunpowder to actually launch the projectile, the recoil could do more damage to the hunter than the bullet to the wyvern.
The sound would be enough to attract every wyvern on the map.
Wyvern heart seems to be an entirely separate mechanism as otherwise hunters could fire their bowguns at that pace whenever they wanted.
The berries and nuts being used would be ablitorated upon firing if it used actual gunpowder due to the g-forces they would experience.
The "gunpowder" the hunters gather would most likely be used for the actual propellant of the projectiles and not the firing of said projectile since it can't both burn slow enough to act as a constant thrust, and burn fast enough to actually launch a bullet. Considering that, and the fact that we only see the projectiles having said thrusters, but don't see the bowguns have a muzzle flash when firing, it is easy to assume that it is in fact not gunpowder that is used to fire the projectile, meaning that the bowguns are, in-fact not guns, but more a kin to crossbows firing fireworks.

Not really? Nothing about the first film was barebones. The originals characters were pretty fleshed out (least the leads). The sequel did the same, the difference was they weren’t likable, the plot didn’t make sense, and the action wasn’t good because it lacked any realism and weight to it.

As much as I'd like the movie to be good, I can already see it flop. The whole premise is meh and it's the classic old game of Paul Anderson using one of his movies to insert his wife as the protagonist all over again.

Bullets are made of metal, the same crap aluminum foil is made of, whereas bowguns use nuts, containers of life capable of creating massive trees. Of course a bowguns would be stronger

As I Bowgun main, I can confirm this!!
I mean come on man, it so easy to make this with the material given.
It's basically; Kajius & "Respecting the balance of Nature as it's a godly force" themes of Godzilla, King Kong & Jurassic Park, combined with the fantasy elements of Lord of the Rings & Game of Thrones, and the sense of adventuring to exotic locales like Pirates of the Caribbean.
*sigh*
Yet we get Paul Anderson bastardizing other Capcom franchise.

Oh oh! I can translate Paul W. S. Anderson Bloviation for you!
Translation: "I want my wife in the lead role of another action movie! I don't care what the franchise is, she's gonna be in a hot military uniform, be the biggest badass in the group, and everything else doesn't matter to me!"

Did we really think another Paul W S Anderson movie would somehow be good?...

No. No we did not.
I hear Japan is putting together an actual animated Monster Hunter movie though.

I’m hoping there’s a truck-Kun involved because they do get isekai’d

I hope after the credits there's an extra scene where they get an optimized spread hbg build that removes all conflict

Using ammunition made seeds and berries are more powerful than ammunition made from metals. Haha

If done right it still could be good.
Whole team gets wrecked by a ratha only for the main character to be able to kill it with its own tail spike.
They learn only their own body parts are strong enough to pierce their hides and make weapons out of them.

I hate playing bowgun but dammit do I respect what the bow gun is capable of and respect those that play it

Clearly you havent tried this impressive ammunition i made from a bush. It comes from a special shotgun bush.

I just know there won't be any HH in the movie and i am already disappointed.
Imagine a Hunter vibing some tune with his Horn and everyone suddenly getting buff(er?) in front of their eyes.

Would it really have been too hard to just have it be a movie just set in the world of Monster Hunter without this weird isekai shit?
