Lord Liaden Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 The fight was fine, by the standards of the day; but that monologue was much more powerful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It highlighted how the desperate - even if their actions were justified - should not hastily be characterized by desperation alone. Basically, there are often deeper motivations at play.

Anyhow, I am truly discovering "Kung Fu" for the first time; while I caught bits and pieces of it decades ago, nothing was really absorbed. Watching a series that has been parodied to all hell is an interesting experience. There are still two more seasons for me to consume, but what I can say thus far is that the depicted wisdom hasn't aged a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 I loved Kung Fu as a teenager. Like many Westerners my age, that was my first exposure to both the martial arts and Oriental philosophy (or at least the watered-down versions of both). But when I watched David Carradine interviewed by Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show... well, let's just say I learned to draw the distinction between fictional characters and the actors who play them.

Lord Liaden Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 Only if you don't want to find out that your fictional heroes are played by normal, even kinda flakey people, and that what means a lot to you may be just a job to them. I figure you're old enough to have learned that by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daleks in Gotham. Bats would have to find a way to not get hit by a weapon beam that moves at the speed of light. I can see Rupert Thorne trying to manipulate the Daleks the way Henry van Statten tried to, forcing Batman to try and stop the Daleks from killing his worst foe. It would also be interesting to see a fanfic like this is which the Doctor is nowhere to be found -- where it is the locals, led by Batman, who must fight off the Dalek invasion of Gotham City. Would a Dalek gun's beam take out Superman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcw43921 Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 By itself, no. It could hurt him, depending on his power level at the time. But I'm sure the Daleks could acquire some Kryptonite-based weaponry, if not actually synthesize the stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They love finding new ways to kill people, and Superman poses the sort of challenge they live for. They could attempt to synthesize Kryptonite only to have it go wrong and become a threat to the entire non-Superman population. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure you're old enough to have learned that by now. After learning how so many content creators are racist, sexist, ultra-conservative (no abortions allowed ever, no taxes at all, no public funding period, etc...) or have straight-up committed crimes such as sexual assault, I have evolved to a stage where "It's just a job to me." is positively tame and therefore acceptable. Misunderstand me not, though; I wish to avoid such deeper insights whenever possible so as not to mar my appreciation for a given work or character.
