Brazen Bull

Is Brazen Bull a character, or is Odysseus referring to the Greek torture and execution device when he threatens to "introduce you to a little piece of history known as Brazen Bull" in the Mortimer Kal SF?


Issue 16 made me feel like this.

Pretty sure he's threatening to kill you with the previously mentioned torture device.

Given he's also wielding a pair of fiery gauntlets, I'd probably say the torture device.
Hey, at least he didn't have something that granted him spines powers and threatned you with "The judas craddle".

My money's on the torture device.

Hey, it's nice to see the Warriors being actually mean for once, rather than getting beaten up by Freakshow all over Talos >_>

In the OP's defense, he knew what a brazen bull was. He was inquiring if the in-game reference was about a character or the torture device.

I would think the device too, but he doesn't say the brazen bull or a brazen bull, plus it's capitalized like a name.

If I was ever to start a petition about something, it would be this.

It's a travesty that Talos is so one-sided against the Warriors. Even when they went to the trouble to update the zone with the "Tsoo and civilian struggling over an artifact" animations, they still couldn't be bothered to put in any "Warriors threatening/beating up Freaks" animations.

It's even more mysterious given that the film is peppered throughout the game. What dev created a whole group inspired by the film, added quotes from the film to all of the gang chatter, made their solo spawns all about mastery of martial arts, and then setup their home base as a place where every single encounter between them and their rivals involves them cowering and getting a beat down?

It just ain't right, I tell ya!

*shrug* I consider those guys the rookie Warriors. All the guys worth their salt are out on Striga partying with girls, or in that 13th floor office with the Big O.

You don't see Freaks and Tsoo with a nice high-rise office.
