Nothere Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 I don't know if this counts for this thread, but as long as we have the Lone Rangers Creed.... Doc Savage Let me strive, every moment of my life to make myself better and better, to the best of my ability, that all may profit from it. “Let me think of the right, and lend my assistance to those who need it with no regard for anything but justice. “Let me take what comes with a smile, without loss of courage. “Let me be considerate of my country, of my fellow citizens, and my associates in everything I say and do. “Let me do right to all, and wrong no man.” The Phantom "I swear to devote my life to the destruction of piracy, greed, and cruelty, in all their forms, and my sons and their sons, shall follow me."

Nothere Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 The Hero will always interrupt just when things are going best for you. Throwing the switch, grabbing the loot, explaining to your dolt of a henchman how your plan is foolproof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, Bullets are just really small, really fast arrows in the end. Except for Railguns. Those are realy, REALY fast Arrows. Plus, they do it in much less logical cases as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOVsYeFOckw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the notion that the Amazons specifically train to do so, when there's no reason they should even have guns, and they certainly don't use them for anything else. Just...odd.

They did show that training in Justice League, with Aersia (just can not find it online). The original training was against Arrows and similar projectiles. Something they did had back in the days of Greece. Personally I find the Invisible Jet with Mental Interface a lot less understandable as far as Wonder Womans powers go.

Personally I find the Invisible Jet with Mental Interface a lot less understandable as far as Wonder Womans powers go. I believe they gave her that jet as a "how can we get her to fly, and still say she is a 'normal' woman?". In the 80's or 90's, they finally said, 'fudge it, let her fly', and gave her that power.

bigdamnhero Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Yeah, WW's original powerset is kindof a weird grab-bag of whatever Marston thought might be cool, sans any particular unifying concept. A Classical Greek-esque culture that still relies on swords & bows? Sure. And yet they also have super-tech far more advanced than anything in Man's World? Okay. Mind controlling lasso? Um, I guess so. Riding kangaroo fights? Whatever, dude... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing Marton's views on women, yes, that was the idea behind Paradise Island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
