I dont have a problem with Kait per se but I tell you this, I wouldn’t be a huge Gears fan if it wasn’t for the OG Delta Squad and EVERYTHING that came with. It gate crashed the genre as an OTT bro shooter and has lost it’s way since… Gears 5 has basically forgot what made the franchise so popular in the first place. And yes, I’m referring to how it’s not as dark, gloomy and testosterone heavy.
Maybe this could’ve been handled better with the next gen of characters after Delta but this current Squad, JD, Kait, Dell… aint it. JD’s character is a more interesting one imo cos of his lineage but as it currently stands, he has a ‘can’t get out his fathers shadow’ problem. And as a result, Gears has a ‘cant get out of the original trilogies shadow’ problem,
So in short, please don’t center Gears 6 around Kait.
