Alternate Taunt/Confront Animations?

Basically as the title says, I would like to see if we can get alternate animations for taunt/confront powers, this especially goes to ones that are not in a weapon powerset since the double handed finger curl seems a little... Dumb. Or just just doesn't work for the concept of some characters.

This isn't a pressing suggestion, mostly just something to point out to the Devs if they happen by to consider.
For the rest of us, how about some suggestions for what kind of alternate animations could work.

General:
I'd like to see the butt smack emote linked with taunt, if that doesn't say "nah nah! Come and fight me, loser(s)!" I don't know what does.

Or the bow for the more Eastern/martial arts inclined character, who chooses to begin all fights with respect and end with respect.

I could go with this. Also, in that same heading: How about an alternate animation for powers like Regeneration:Integration? Pounding your chest and doing a bad impression of the Johnny Weismuller Tarzan yell isn't something every regenerating hero(ine) is likely to be all that keen on doing. We can shut off the glow now, which is nice, but we persist in doing that sophomoric (and, in the case of female characters, quite painful-looking) animation every time we switch on the power...

Agreed and for Invulnerability: Unstoppable as well. Say use the Cimeroran "yell" animation.


It is better to ask forgiveness than permission.
