I Feel Alice Might Be Part of Wonderland’s Problem
I never played the first American McGee’s Alice, so there might be all sorts of things I don’t realize about this new trailer for the upcoming sequel, Alice: Madness Returns. But to me, it looks like Wonderland is doing pretty well for itself until Alice happens along. It’s all blue skies and green grass and pleasant days and then Alice shows up and the butterfly dude loses his shit. Plus, it seems like Alice is the craziest person at the tea party at the end, at least in the sense that no one else ends up covered in blood. Maybe Alice should’ve just stayed home.
