Interesting thought. Much like how they made G.I. Joe a multi-national team so it would sell better overseas.

Have you looked at the crits for Scrapper Char? It critted for around 1300 damage.



Also,


It's great that they are not accepting damage buffs now, but they are still jumping to the same target multiple times. I just got hit for ~4000 damage in RV when it jumped 11 times. If this is WAI there doesn't seem to be any reason to take anything OTHER than Ion for PvP.

This seems to be the case with me as well. My AoE Corruptor has gotten many rare and 1 very rare drop. By way of comparison, my single target Scrapper has gotten only one rare and almost all common or uncommon drops with nearly 2x the number of runs.

It seems once again, AoE is the way to go.

This.

I know the guy, and yes this is exactly what he is doing. People should be thankful that somebody is willing to put together a team when there's a room for of people broadcasting for one. But no, we get people complaining instead.

The argument can very easily be made that a bad version is worse than no version, as it could do infinitely more harm for any future versions that might come up. If this current version stinks to high heaven, as many here believe it will, than studio execs might look at it as a concept that can never succeed and not ever look at it again. Every time somebody proposes a new, possibly good verson, they will point to this failed experiment and say "If David Kelly can't make it work, nobody can. No thanks."

I would rather they pass on this steaming pile in the hopes that something better can come along. I've waited this long for WW to come to the screen. I'd be perfectly happy to wait longer for a version that is actually good.

Strictly speaking, no it doesn't bother me because of the source of her strength and the lore behind the character.

I think people are misunderstanding the reason for my disbelief. It has less to do with the source of WW or Buffy's strength as it does with the lore of the character. WW is a Amazon, born and raised in a warrior culture, trained extensively in all manner of martial combat. This has been true through all known continuities of the character. With any kind of training of that sort comes fat loss, muscle developement, and a corresponding weight gain. It takes a concerted effort to train in that manner and not gain weight. This girl they have playing the role doesn't have that look. She doesn't look like she has ever spent more than 5 minutes at a time in a gym. She is soft. She can be 90 lbs of lean muscle, much like Callisto from Xena was, and be able to portray the character convincingly. This girl cannot.

The same is true of Supergirl for that matter. She is written as young and inexperienced, with virtually no actually fight training. She should be small and non-muscular for that reason. She has been able to get by on her powers and smarts without having to actually exert herself in a way that would cause muscle developement. However, compare her to her closest counterpart, Powergirl. Powergirl is older and has had far more training not just in the use of her powers, but in the use of her body as well. She is stronger and, more importantly, looks like she has had training. She is the embodiment of female strength and physical ability, and what I know a fight capable woman actually looks like.

What can I say? I like my fighting women to actually [i]look[/] like they can fight and inflict real damage if necessary. And I never really cared for skinny women anyway.

It's something of a byproduct of my military and MMA training. I have taken real punches from people roughly her size, and I know that no matter how hard she might wind up for it, it's not gonna hurt much because she simply doesn't have the physical mass behind it. I have a really hard time with suspension of disbelief when it comes to things like that. I have a feeling that with the growing popularity of televised MMA, a lot of shows like this will have to be more realistic in their depiction of fighting if they want to get viewers on board.

And that's a big part of why I didn't bother watching the last 3 seasons. Lazy writing and the Angel spinoff being better (most of the time) were the others. Suspension of disbelief only goes so far, and somebody who weighs 90 lbs being able knockout somebody twice their size goes way beyond that.

That's funny because Shatner was fairly well known as a Shakespearean actor before Star Trek.

The good news is that if they use that script, it will never get past the pilot stage thus saving us the frustration of seeing another good series ended prematurely.

Who's to say he actually missed anything? For myself, after a dozen or so 50s before AE existed, I can say that there isn't much left to be missed. I'd gladly pay fifteen bucks just to skip all the same stuff I've done hundreds of times already.
