phydaux Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Racheal could be just as dangers as Ivy if she wanted to. She just chooses to limit herself so not to acquire too much smut on her aura. Donno about you, but I love a girl with a little smut on her aura. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasha Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Though honestly I am way more into Ivy than Rachael. Something about her style and attitude. The blood thing wouldn't work for me, but the rest. Yum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Jack Burton is a sidekick, Wang is the hero in Big Trouble... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmower Boy Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Nayland Smith is the sidekick, Fu Manchu is the real hero.. . Wait. That doesn't work. It should work, but it doesn't. It's odd that we're willing to slyly rewrite the classic story to make Wang the hero, and Jack Burton the buffoonish sidekick, but for all the face turns in lterature, we're so unready for a Fu Manchu/Lo Pan as a hero that, as far as I can tell, no-one has ever done it.

Well, one is switching the rolls of the hero and villain, the other is switching the role of hero and sidekick, so the two aren't really comparable at all. Add to that the fact that Wang is intentionally portrayed as more competent than Jack and I'm not understanding who is being accused of "rewriting the classic story". There are plenty examples in modern entertainment of classic villains being portrayed as heroes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
