You want an NPC that talks down to you? Go play the Redside version fo Twinshot, the Graves arc in Mercy.

Given the option of the pre-Freedom generic nigh all encompassing responses that you had for most mission contacts, and the post-Freedom funny-yet-written-for-a-specific-character responses, I'd almost go with the former.

Superman, Batman, and the X-Men are also mires of continuity and retcons and hundreds of supporting characters at their worst too, y'know.

But this was also my biggest hurdle to watching the show, I was under the impression you needed to start from the beginning, a la Star Trek. (I was also confused as hell as to why there was a different guy with the same woman in some of the ads.) Sure I grew up with the original Star Trek, but these days I just have a... thing... about shows from that period. Hell, even now, after having seen most of the "new era" I -still- doubt I'll ever watch anything pre-9th Doctor.

That aside, no, I don't have any faith that Hollywood could pull it off. The producers meetings alone would be the stuff of nightmares.

So this Doctor Who guy...what kind of a name is Who, anyway?
Well that's not his name--
--then why is he called Doctor Who?
He's not. He's only called the Doctor.
So why is the show called Doctor Who?

and

So he has this living ship that can travel through space and time--
Oh! That's good! Let's see some design sketches.
*holds up a picture of the TARDIS*
...what's that?
The Doctor's ship, called the TARDIS.
But it's a box. Where are the engines? Lasers? Those sorts of things?
It doesn't have that. The Doctor doesn't--
--so what does he do in it if he doesn't fly around in space battles?
He travels through space and time.
Hmph. Well, how big is it? Don't some villains on Star Trek fly around in cubes?
It's about the size of a police call box.
A what?
*explains, and points to the words on the TARDIS*
Uh-huh.

And if you stop and listen, you can almost hear the internet screaming at the thought of Bay-formed Daleks.

The photo's really don't do justice to Hardy in the costume. But I'm at a loss for what else I can say for another 9 months. Gaaaaaah.

It was only open from 11/10 to about 2/11. I actually worked there from about Thanksgiving to New Years.

*shudders*

Best of luck! I've never been brave enough to promote my comic there with an actual table, so I've stuck to cosplaying for the past few years. >.>

But I do intend on trying to parlay my involvement with the Dark Knight Rises into more sci-fi/horror indie movie roles. It'll be tricky for the 2012 show though, as the movie won't be out yet.

Altoona. The wonders of central PA, eh?

That sequence was a big lipped alligator moment if I've ever seen one. Awesome, mind you, but still, @_@

This, pretty much. Though the initial impression I got when this whole thing was announced was to not buy any more boosters. Only one left of any real interest to me is the Animal Pack, and, well, the thread here has answered my question about what to do there.

And yeah, my guess is that the Booster bundle model will be gone. Now, in theory, a single "piece" or set can be released when it's done. They don't need to wait for other things to bundle it up with to release as a pack.

Considering where Bane is from, it makes sense that he adopted a luchadore costume, lucha is -huge- south of the border. But maybe I'm a little biased, as I used to enjoy pro-wrestling back in the day. But it seems like they're ditching the luchadore inspired costume for a more militaristic look anyway.

Were these pics taken in Pittsburgh?

The first thing you think of when you see black and white facepaint is KISS? Oy. Must be a generational thing.

Anyway, ANYTHING is better than Deadshot's previous abomination of a costume.

Or you could be in my situation. I finally got a call to actually be -in- the movie (one month of waiting down). Which means waiting for another month for a possibly last minute call when they tell me when they need me for filming. Then after that, it's waiting for a year to actually see if I'll get to see myself on screen.

Captain Marvel's costume is the only one I can think of that's largely remained the same since he debuted. The biggest change that costume has had, as far as I know, is alternating between having a buttoned flap on the red fabric of the chest, and removing it so the red looks more like tights. (To differentiate Cap from Superman, iirc.)

And as far as Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Spider-Man and the like, they've ALL had little tweaks to their costumes on a consistent basis over the years. Take Superman, for example. The "core" of the costume is blue tights, a red cape, and the S shield. How those are arranged, and what's been added in with them has changed a lot since he debuted.

I think the point of contention here is that you're thinking all these characters have an original costume that they've stuck to. And they don't. Hell, I've seen websites that detail all the changes made to Superman and WW's costumes over the years. Never looked for it, but I'm sure Batman and Spider-Man have similar pages.

Already 50, yes. Had the character for 3 years.

So am I on the right track here? Trying for a mix-ish sort of build with a focus on S/L Def. Ignore the IO level numbers while I get the hang of Mids. And spots have been left open for the more expensive stuff.
