![]() ![]() ![]() well that was an explosive ending, felt a little like cheating though. what i dont understand if magneto can erase universes why couldnt he have beaten scion that way. i hated the beginning but once taylor came out with her powers it got pretty awesome |
![]() ![]() ![]() heh she's never gonna win this fight with gramps nor should she, simply help him and hope for the best if shit goes to hell fight him and again hope for the best whomever survives will be the hero. sure she should work on herself and some small tech would be nice but other then that she is so hopelessly outgunned that only her imagination is better. |
![]() ![]() ![]() metal on ships is thin? an oil tanker has 1 maybe 2 inch think steel hull. i wouldnt call that thin |
![]() ![]() ![]() that cop exposed her and gotten her dad kidnapped she saved him the only way possible and suddenly the gang wars are her fault? panacea is a fking hypocrite she heals villians who then escape, how much is what happens then her fault? |
![]() ![]() ![]() was letting someone die from inaction as bad as killing them directly. for fuck sake man where do you get these delusions. by this logic anyone who isnt a cop or soldier is a killer cause they didnt try to stop bad ppl |
![]() ![]() ![]() she didnt use her force field to contain the blast but instead to make 12 shields to protect ppl from this blast all this because she was afraid to contain it. so she thought having 12 shields is easier than 1? i really hope you'll stop pussy footing around and start killing some ppl cause right now i want to kill taylor myself. fuck its like giving an ant the powers of a god |
![]() ![]() ![]() a compass inside a phone? wtf why go out and stop perry crime when you have villians to kill. i never understood that superman may be a hero but he is also spittiing in the face of cops. stopping a super powered villian yeah go superman, stopping petty crime well we dont need so much cops anymore some budget cuts then superman goes on vacation and everything goes to hell. sounds crazy and a little to simple but in the long run thats exacly what happens. men created fire because it was cold, a car because humans are slow. adversity creates advancement |
![]() ![]() ![]() you know the chance that a girl who is all but abandoned by the world becoming a hero is really small right? she would maybe want to do the right thing, by killing all the bad ppl that is. |
![]() ![]() Wait. So Magneto passed Taylor a perfect chance to practice her telepathy, and she thinks he doesn't know what she's doing? I'm reminded of a scene from a book (In Conquest Born). There is a young man who's pissed at his father for blocking him from having adult legal status. This man decides to assassinate his father. He spends months secretly putting together the perfect murder. And then, when the time has come, he finds all his hirelings dead at his father's hand. And his father? He congratulates his son for finally acting in a manner fit for an adult. Somehow, I suspect that Taylor is in for a surprise in the near future. |
![]() ![]() Maybe its just a lack of knowledge speaking, but I don't really understand what Taylor is so concerned about. Magneto bodyjacked her, yes. But he was going to die otherwise, of course he would. He didn't do any lasting harm to her. For all that he stole a month from her, he advanced her goals more than she could have in that much time. He's got a history of racism against normal humans, but he seems to be moving past that. And even if not, it sounds like he has a plan in place to convert normal people into his favored group. That doesn't seem like a course for genocide. The only real concern I see is his mental stability. And the proper solution there is to be his support so he can recover into the hero Taylor wants him to be. |
![]() ![]() Good to see some rational self-interest. I tend to find altruistic characters annoying. People being nice because it benefits them, though? That's just sanity. In larger doses than is often seen in fiction. |
![]() ![]() You know, it's really easy to underestimate the importance of toilets. Just look at San Francisco IRL. Lots of homeless people with no toilets, and disease is sweeping the city. |
![]() ![]() You know, the way white supremacist groups get treated in stories usually bothers me. But they really do believe that there's a Jewish conspiracy to drive white people extinct. |
![]() ![]() Eh... If she grabs the minerals from international waters she should be fine. I feel the need to point out that magnesium and manganese are different metals, not that it makes much difference, here. It took me a while in Chem classes to grok that. |
![]() ![]() "She's clearly paranoid; her feud with Shadow Stalker and Miss Militia's meeting her at an art show was enough for her to sue us all. Worse, she murdered several men in cold blood" Piggot has just lied so hard that she believes herself. That attack on the Empire was the polar opposite of cold blood. And considering what Shadow Stalker and Miss Militia did, her 'paranoia' is pretty clearly justified. Besides, if someone capable of turning your base into a can of soylent green sicks lawyers on you, the proper response is to be glad they are setting their differences through the law. That's a clear sign that someone isn't a homicidal maniac. |
