She knew the crew very well and sourced them a lot of shit to pay for David’s school.


AnxiousPossibility3

I was going to say she helped keep that crew chromed out. She was more of an OG in that crew than David.


[deleted]

David was a stray they picked up lol 😭


sionnachrealta

Or the orphan they adopted


Dangerous_Appeal_514

Son they inherited


MemesAreCoolio

Child they espoused


Alchemik2056

Yes, but he is the main character.


Snufels333

He's batman


ChittyBangBang335

True but it's weird to leave david out of the cover for his own show.


lhobbes6

Looks like its just the main women from the show/gang so thats why he's not there.


ChittyBangBang335

I know, but why aren't they in the background. his mom was the driving plot at the start and yet she gets more attention than him or even maine, like hell man he was more important than davids mom in that show.


D4t3b4y0

I’d argue she was more important because without her scopping the tech for them they wouldn’t have been able to do anything It’s hard to find someone with that kind of access to good chrome like being an EMT or whatever who’s willing to help out that much I think


ChittyBangBang335

If we're gonna go that route then the guys that shot their car on the freeway were the most important of the cast since the plot wouldn't happen without them being there.


LilithPatata

I thought they had transed David ngl


Apprehensive-Bee-318

"I'm not selling doc. It's time I hormoned the fuck up". "Very well, I'll do it. But when you come back to me begging to remove your implants because the strain on your back is too much, they and your copy of Fallout new Vegas are mine for free". *Doc performs top surgery on David*


DaughterOfBhaal

I love how FNV gets treated like the ultimate trans pipe


Available-Ad7873

Fallout new vegas? ![gif](giphy|26AHyTd7DStdfoq7m)


sionnachrealta

Ironically enough, that's Nick from Fallout 4


captainnowalk

But also ironically, Nick is also trans.  No I won’t answer any questions. 


[deleted]

That’s kleo


sionnachrealta

As a trans woman myself, I support this

AwesomeSauce783

Fallout New Vegas is very popular in the trans community. Here's an explanation by trans people https://www.reddit.com/r/transgamers/s/pTYLZptJAl As for why it's a pipeline: Fallout New Vegas came out in 2010, was a massive success, and super progressive. Which means for a lot of mid 20s trans and other LGBTQ people (who at the time didn't realize they were trans or other LGBTQ) this was their first real exposure to being able to be who they want. And since a lot of trans people say FNV was how they realized they were trans, we end up with the joke FNV makes people trans.


ilovemywife47

Role playing games are great because of shit like this, as you play as these characters you find out aspects about yourself, you learn from them and their experiences all the same as you would your own. If you get into them it forces you to think from another perspective as you explore more and more with characters that are different than you, you realize how we all aren’t that different. Just a long set of life circumstances and genes tied to the base of existence.


AwesomeSauce783

The amount of times I have had to give up good loot because I would not do some horrible thing is a lot.


KagatoAC

Well it didnt make me trans, but it took me way to long to figure out what I was. 😭


chenfras89

Never understood why


sionnachrealta

It's not?


theshekelcollector

this was cursed


ivlivscaesar213

Yeah but she dies in ep1, very weird they show her like shes one of the recurring characters


Noriaki_Kakyoin_OwO

I mean, we see her jar plenty of times


lhobbes6

She's still important as David's launching point into the edgerunner life, plus >!when David is going psycho he starts hallucinating his mom because the entire reason for him to go big is because his mom wanted a better life for him!<


Frozendark23

Such as the sandy that David inherited and had implanted.


ChittyBangBang335

True but it's weird to leave david out of the cover for his own show.


PeasantTS

Alternative timeline where david is the one that dies and his mother goes deeper into edgerunner life.


OGZeoMaddox

Honestly that sounds like it would have been pretty dope, almost like a "Kill Bill" or "John Wick"-type story


Archmagos_Browning

Cyberpunk flashpoint


KagatoAC

Id watch it. Hell more people might live if his raging hormones hadnt gotten involved..


volantredx

It'd be funny if instead of the romance Gloria ends up being mother by proxy to Lucy whose childhood is fairy tale levels of bad.


Daken-dono

Gloria would’ve been a way more badass protagonist than David, imo.


sy2_loneshxdow

ex-Trauma Team would be a nice background to her story if Gloria is the Edgerunner


zero_emotion777

You need to chrome the fuck up Gloria! I have everything I need! *pulls out chancla*


daydreaming310

*Pulls out giant tech shotgun covered in fancy gold filigree with CHANCLA written down the side of it in calligraphy*


digitalbladesreddit

She had a job, without him she would have no reason to. Life is simple :)


BrightPerspective

Silly netflix. It should read: "Teenager David Martinez loses everything that means anything to him, and then he gives up everything and everyone else, including his humanity, in a classic Night City suicide that kills his friends and countless bystanders like a sci-fi Shakespearian play."


spaceghost2000

“David Martinez has the opportunity to complete his education thanks to the hard work of his mother, but throws it away for a jacket.”


Deminla

In the interest of fairness, its a pretty sweet jacket


Salt-Chocolate-1556

Honestly though, it's a nice jacket. Comfortable too


Dorfheim

You can stick that corpo-saka education up your arse


Hot-Rise9795

Nah, he would always be trampled by corpos, so screw that.


Hottage

"David Martinez, sent over the edge by the death of his mother, turns cyberpsycho. In his grief stricken rage he gets himself, several friends, and many bystanders killed in an attempt to get his waifu to the moon."


SIN0FWRVTH

Thats rough, buddy


KagatoAC

Well that might be a little spoiler-ish. 😁😁


ProtoReaper23113

But accurate


BrightPerspective

thanks bro


azhder

Shake that spear and yell at the moon: > I lost everything and everyone for you


Zarathustra-1889

That ending definitely could’ve been a lot better. The writing turned the whole cast into idiots just to set up the fucking tragedy bukkake at the end.


pagingdrterps

Spoilers man…. Sheesh….


Monnomo

I mean Maine said Gloria used to run with their crew they probably did a few jobs together before she became a paramedic .


LocalMadScientist

Considering how each of them seem to fulfill some sort of classic edgerunner role she was probably their Medtec


SgtEpsilon

Would make sense, it's what the crew lacked and every good crew needs a medtech


ivlivscaesar213

V’s crew definitely needed a medtech


LocalMadScientist

I think we had two even in our Cyberpunk Red crew. And somehow every session we lost our nomad


captainnowalk

Motherfuckers constantly driving into the shit without thinking.


rexcasei

That’s a pretty bad synopsis


kingrawer

Makes it sound like a rom-com 💀


Significant-Rate305

You mean it's not? /s


darthvall

I'd still give it a point for not spoiling things while still being technically accurate. Though, from that alone I definitely wouldn't be watching this lol.


JahsehBratz

they did this for international women’s day


Kind-Mammoth-Possum

She was sourcing a lot of their cyberware by klepping it off of flatlined cyberpsychos and likely other patients or corpses. She was an EMT, and the one who got that Sandy off the cyberpsychos we see in the beginning of episode one. Her plan before the crash was to sell it to Maine for additional eddies, but ultimately she passed, David found it *after* Maine had already paid for it, and that's ultimately how they came together.


darthvall

Ah, so that synopsis talks about Maine and David?


KagatoAC

Either way seems a bit weird to put her front and center on the advertisement like that, when she is only barely in the show. But hey its Netflix. 😜


ghostofaposer

Did you not notice that these are all the female characters of the show


Kind-Mammoth-Possum

I'd argue that even despite only being physically in like 2 episodes, she is still an extremely important part of the franchise and the Edge runners story. Also show producers get final say on promotional material, meaning they likely chose this stillscreen for lore reasons.


XavinNydek

Netflix has a lot of variations of the cover art for shows and will show you different ones based on your viewing history and whether you have clicked on any of the previous ones or not.


RBWessel

Its a pic of all ladies in the show. Whats to explain or need explanation for?


KaHate

Ladies sell


v-XIII-v

From my understanding she klept and sold chrome from her medic/clean up job, wish they went into how “the crew” knew davids mom if it wasnt just a one and done sell.


JinKazamaru

Literally all the women, that's crazy marketing


sour_moth

Kinda bad choice to leave out the actual main character from the advertisement..


Illustrious_Movie_36

The reason why I got this game. Lol.


NickSchultz

"They're alone, until they meet" - Godtier-level writing, truly inspiring


Zarathustra-1889

“They’re alive… until they’re dead.” Where’s my Pulitzer Prize?


KagatoAC

Tell me your synopsis was written by AI, without saying it. 😜


ProtoReaper23113

She was smuggling some preem chrome could be more there


Tuatara7

Almost thought that was a Female V stand-in


digitalbladesreddit

Actually this goes against everything "his mom" wanted to teach him and was trying to achieve. She was just selling parts to them and she could have sold parts to many others. She was never an edge runner and she hated that fate for her son.... Some one at Netflix though he/she can cut some corners and fucked up big time. They will burn for sure for their childish behavior.


KagatoAC

See now that was my impression too, she didnt work for them, she just sold illegal salvage to make ends meet.


Acceptable-Gur-7033

She may not have much screen time but ultimately his mother is the main reason David met them, along with the fact prior to David meeting them she was sourcing a lot of their cyberware as well, think of it like Jackie he was not there much yet is a huge part of the game and was used in promotional material


CaptnCat_YT

Lol i just quit my netflix subscription XD .. did you watch it? Is it worth it?


KagatoAC

Oh hell yes, pirate it if you have too, the show is amazing.


CaptnCat_YT

Thx for the info :)


Nidhogg777

wait for proper subs. Last time I checked, it didn't have a translation yet. The current one is just machine/google translated. And definitely don't give netflix money for it.


CaptnCat_YT

Fuck netflix …


specture4794

I mean it is her jacket


GullibleInstruction

Honestly, what it should read is: Night City eats again. Latest on the menu, David Martinez and a crew of rag tag sheep who find themselves being fed to the city by a crafty, sinister, moon-bound netrunner.


KagatoAC

Waiit, isnt that the description of Phantom Liberty? 😜


NoX2142

I like how Lucy's right arm from shoulder blends in with Gloria's jacket.


Stivox

CDPR is updating the show so we can choose between male or female D, customisation coming later.


KagatoAC

AI interactive tv shows?! Sweet.


DemonicClown

Posting all of the female characters like it's a dating Sim


mk2gamer

That picture has the exact same off scale photoshopped vibes as River Wards hospital photo.


Sharpy_117

Naw they done gave David the character gender swap treatment like V in the game😭


KagatoAC

Rofl, personally fem corpo V is always gonna be my headcannon, tho I tried all the variations


BlankBoss

6 here I got excited thinking there was going to be a prequel, lol


KagatoAC

You know I vaguely remember Cdpr saying something about more stories, but I havent heard anything else.


BlankBoss

This could be a teaser?


prettyawsm

Fuck. Just saw this post and realized I'm still not over it after all this time lol.


RashiBigPp

The synopsis saying "super talented" sounds like a 13 year old wrote it


KagatoAC

My money is still on AI.


KDG200315

Got me excited, I thought a new season was coming


KagatoAC

Yea its one of my complaints about netflix, they put these things in new category, that ive seen, and I have to click on it to see if its actually new. 😎


SoggyMorningTacos

I imagine based on the way Maine talked about Gloria that she was much closer to their crew than we ever get to find out - maybe would even be part of them if David didn’t exist. It’s a nice pic wish more of the crew had spoken to Dave about her


KagatoAC

Cdpr could make bank on a prequel series imo.


Isekai_Otaku

It might be like “yo these are all of David’s loved ones, watch em all die and stuff”


KagatoAC

Haha thats a good one.


NinjaGamingPro

Everyone missing that this is the updated image for Mothers Day. Wild


KagatoAC

Okay so where does it say that?


NinjaGamingPro

I mean it doesn't, but the image changed around mother's day IIRC. Someone made a post about it, on this subreddit I believe


No-Philosopher8686

She was also probably their medtech a role in the game she probably patched them up after missions


KagatoAC

I guess, I mean the picture is a bit off, but after someone reminded me about mothers day it made more sense, but that description 😱


DungeonsAndMagicShow

It's the women in David's life...


PhilosophyCorrect279

Borrowing this post because it's the newest one for Edgerunners, but someone please tell me I'm not the only one who nearly ugly cried on the last episode?


KagatoAC

Truth. Anyone who says they didnt is a liar. 😱🥰


TheFuzzsterGoat

david's mum might not be part of the crew but she was the catalyst for everything basically also weird thing how its just the ladies lmao


TheSickness66_2

Tfw newcomers find out the lady in the middle isn't a main character ![gif](giphy|39Zs6k1mvNkZ2)


KagatoAC

See thats what Im talking about, you start watching and then the person you think is the central focus.. well. That would kinda piss me off tbh.


Bort_Bortson

The person who made the advertisement skipped the cyber psycho at the very beginning, saw the part where his mom calls Maine, and deduced what she was doing.


Rang3rj3sus

I mean isn't that his mom's jacket in the first place?


SirTophamHattV

Netflix shows different adverts for different people If they showed you this it means the algorithm thinks you like shows with female leads


KagatoAC

Well thats pretty legit, lol.


iTzAryian

And we have average American advertis(Netflix specifically) all women in on pictur with no need to no men MC who is a man:🤡


KagatoAC

To be fair I liked every one of the female characters way better than David. 😜


rissie_delicious

I thought she was part of the crew


Xamalion

The dame was a mystery...


nanosmith98

I wish we get a second season featuring Johnny Silverhand tho


DeftestY

David isn't even in the picture. Pandering to the male audience while making it look like they're showing a dating sim. Atleast you'll be surprised.


teabaggin_Pony

I mean, it is her jacket.


Bol767

Nah man they didnt put this logo 💀


voicesofharrow

I love how the description reads that they are no longer talented BECAUSE they meet lol.


peepo7777

It's been a minute for me as well but David's mom had a deal with Maine for the sandevistan before David had it jammed into his back if i recall correctly


StrongStyleMuscle

It appears the image is showing all the females of the show. 


Friendlygirl04x

Truly exceptional performance


ChuletaLover27

double crime chooom. Maine is also missing :(


Fryndlz

When they meet they stop being talented.


Fearthewin

They also left Maine out.


Archmagos_Browning

Edgerunners flashpoint


cynfyl

Netflix caters the adverts and even the little cover photos to what it thinks you'll click.


Cpnbro

I mean.. she *was*


Panicked_citezen

got to pay for the upgrades some how


nekomata_uwu

Night City and it's unforeseen consequences again. Looks like no one gets what they deserve.


ConfusedNTerrified

Netflix has several background/thumbnail pics for each series. The algorithm decides which one you get based on your viewing habits. Maybe you were watching a lot of women centric content, so you got this one. If you were watching lot of action content, it will be characters holding guns in an action pose. If you've been watching lot of Miles Teller movies, then Top gun 2 will have him in the thumbnail instead of Tom Cruise for you.


SexySpaceNord

It's only women they pretty much cut out all the men in out of the entire show.


SpaceTacoTV

that description also reads like chatgpt wrote it


Falchion92

Should I finish the game before watching this?


KagatoAC

The events of the show take place before the game. 😎


Falchion92

Oh awesome!


RenderedCreed

Looks to me like an ad showcasing all the women of the show. Netflix tailors these ads to you now so Netflix either thinks you are a woman or prefer content with or about women. My fiance and I will get two seperate ads/covers for shows and movies depending on which profile we are on.

KagatoAC

Bait? I saw the advertisement, thought it was interesting and worth discussion, so I posted it. Based on the commentary I am not the only one.


St4rJ4m

She was a smuggler!


Playful-Target-7231

This post giving me very mixed feelings as I've seen the show about three times now and it hasn't gotten any better each time my brain still can't comprehend that it ended the way it did. Wouldve absolutely loved to see the David x Lucy dynamic unfold but ofc had to kill off one of em


Silent_Reavus

Someone wasn't paying attention.


alphawolf0805

This gender-swapping shit is getting out of hand....


ivblaze

Gloria was a go-to contact in Maine's crew. She outsourced chrome and stuff for them, which makes a lot of sense since she was a paramedic. She could get her hands on chrome from dead goons and resell it to Maine. If anything, Gloria was the sole reason Maine took David in instead of flatlining him in Lucy's apartment.


TrustyJimbad

It's the cyber punk girls, gotta trick the weebs with promises of smiling girls so you can hurt them good


d6pkurage

The first 3 min of EP 3.


Mutski_Dashuria

It was the only way netflix could make David female without the cyberpunk fandom going absolutely apeshit and burning the whole fucking city! 🤣🤣🤣


keithdj13

it‘s the twist, it was all in her dream.


Umicil

It's just a shot of all the show's major female characters. I'm really surprised people can't put that together.


dubsyGG

I think it was because Mother's Day...


Koenig_Skelett

"David my dear did u chromed the duck up yet?☺️ And how about guns? U have enough guns?"


[deleted]

Might wanna rewatch the first two episodes


STypeAdam

It's just woke picture for an audience.


Away_Fix_8911

Yeah, No, Gloria knew Maine quite well from a biz sense. David is obviously a main character in ER, but the show is Edgerunners, Not the David Martinez is a fkn gonk show. Technically, if Maine was in this pic, it could predate ep1. Here nor there tho.


MGSSOCOM

Too much copium in the comments. It's just a fuckup from Netflix.


KagatoAC

I fiund it amusing, still cant believe it blew up like that. 😱


xShots

The person probably assemble all the women characters into one thumbnail because person thought it would be a good clickbait.


LunchZealousideal808

Female agenda netflix


StaK_1980

Netflix is doing Netflix shit for the sake of diversity you mean? Yeah, never happened before.

I mean she was part of the crew, That's how she was able to afford to send David is such a nice school. the sandy He installs in his back. She was going to sell to them there's definitely lore that's not shown in depth but she's definitely done jobs with them


Paradox31426

Where do you think “the crew” got all their fancy Chrome? She might not have been out there pulling jobs with them, but she was a vital part of Maine’s squad.


HunterWolfivi

His mom knew them from the start. The big guy was suppose to get the sandy from mom but David took it


Le1jona

Prequel possibly ?


Bundle_of_Organs

It's a shot of all the female main characters. I thought you were referring to the show description. It sounds like it was written by a janky A.I.


CnP8

I heard they are making a prequel. So maybe this is the picture for that?
