Replace their current ambush dialogue of "Halt, in the name of Longbow" to "STOP RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL SCUM!"

Disregarding the "joke" part because I'm lame like that, I always thought "in the name of Longbow" is pretty dumb. How do they expect a villain to react to that? "Oh, golly gee, it's those good ladies and gentlemen of Longbow! Why, how horrid a person I must be for such upstanding individuals to take up arms against me? I shall cease my criminal behavior and allow them to arrest me posthaste!"

They could at least say, "stop or we'll shoot!". I mean, that probably won't stop any villains either, but at least it doesn't sound egotistical.


BackAlleyBrawler: I can't facepalm this post hard enough.
ShoNuff: If sophisticated = bro-mantically emo-tastic, then I'm going to keep to my Shonen loving simplicity dammit.

Yeah...Longbow ARE egotistical, though, really. Deitrich and a lot of the dialogue in the RWZ arcs...villain side Longbow...theay really can be pretty arrogant

Some times I wish I could buff those poor Hellions who are being terrorized by these jerks. It brings tears to my eyes, man.

And besides, what real authority do Longbow have? I mean, they're basically Ms Liberty's private militia.

Well, "You and what army?" DOES hold a lot more weight when you simply step aside and say "This one!"

The authority of a thousand gun-toting spandex soldiers

Pfft. I've killed a thousand of those gun-toting spandex soldiers. My Villain badge says so.
