Did you ever see something you wish there was more of?

I wish there was better depictions of thalssophobia in movies. Games like Subnautica and Iron Lung made good on what I want to see. In movies, I feel they have gotten used to recognizable hunter animals (sharks, giant squid, etc.) and treat them like a slasher villain.

But that's not what I want to discuss in this post. While thalsophobia in movies is different in games, that's still working on thalssophobia. I want to see more of something that I feel hasn't been explored often.

I have a very niche interest and I'd like to see more of...

I've seen depictions of it here and there and I guess my best example is The Darkness II in the hell segment. Where the player finds these fleshy firearms manufactured within hell and the demons know how to use them. Each weapon has a unique name, not like "hell pistol" or "hellfire rifle". Proper names.

In the comics of Hellraiser, there's a Cenobite character that's a wrathful soldier type. He's equipped with his own arsenal from this other realm that looks similar to own own modern weaponry, but aren't the same.

In the game Scorn, the player navigates a dying unfamiliar world with a small arsenal of organic tools and weapons. There's no dialogue and things are vaguely familiar in shape and function. The gun in the game is familiar, but it isn't anything like what we have in reality. It can swap barrels that changes what kind of weapon the gun is, and each requires it's own type of ammo.

With that said, I'd like to see more hellish/otherworldly creations have their own take of human weaponry. Too often I see in media that a demon/angel/celestial of some type go "ugh, human weapon bad, but this relic is the best weapon ever!", and it be something that belongs in a museum; not a battlefield.

It would be interesting to see a demon's, alien or inhuman take on tactical gear and customized weapons similar to a human arsenal. After all, most of the jabs towards humanity is that we're the cruelest beings to exist. Why not mimic the weapons, too?

I wanna hear from y'all!
