Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
@ghost rider, you are easily entertained, however that to me is like someone saying "Oh I don't care for all that cookery nonsense, just give me a fast food burger from mcdonalds, sinse it might be badly made and mass produced but it tas
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
If any of the followng things I say sound rude, I appologize, but this is my opinion. When I watch a movie, read a book, etc, I never really look for character development. The only times I like it is in movies with great montages, lol. But anywa
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
I blame Storm's over dramatic speeches on her time being treated as a Goddess. Some habits are just too much fun to give up. Alas, she's too serious most of the time to have ever admitted this, so I but speculate.

Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
Great summation Cae, thumbs up for that one, though i can say I'm not surprised, sinse from what I've seen of the superhero commics an series what you say is what I would expect, eg, some good, but lots of returns to status quo and rid
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
Dark, my history lessons were similar. We were specifically told to look for bias, the potential accuracy and honesty of a source, as well as what the source wasn't mentioning that might be relevant. Essentially they were teaching us ho
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
So, a few years back I started reading the issue summaries at uncannyxmen.net. I more or less got bored around the climax of The Twelve arc (For all the build up, the results were underwhelming compared to previous storylines), which pretty much c
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
@Ghost rider, Sore is not a good example for your arguement being that after the first film the series got cryticized for precisely the same predictability you mention, hay I never said super hero films were the only! predictable film serie
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
A few things. Speaking of Agents Of Shield, I'd like to see such shows as Smallville, Gotham, and Arrow. Also, Tward, did you find a way of getting accessible comics? And also, Dark, Superman doesn't really get a speech from anyone. Sure
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
Dark, that is certainly an interesting perspective on the superhero genre, but killing off the hero or changing them over the course of a movie or two is akin to killing the golden goose. I believe what makes some of these long running seri

Sinse I learned Joss Weeden was involved with the writing of agents of shield it's been a series I definitely want to check out, although at the moment my tv series watching is very taken up with Buffy .I can't imagine a Weeden
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
Perhaps this is why I'm generally kinda meh about the whole superhero thing. Oh I've seen a fair few of the Marvel films of late and they're okay but I don't call myself a fan of the genre, except for Agents of Shield whi
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
The problem ghost rider, is there is a difference between having a "oh my life is so terrible" aka "I can't save everyone", aka "I want a normal life" speech which could be cut and pasted in from any other fil
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
I don't know. I thought man of steel was quite good with the character development.

Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
Wel I haven't seen the iron man films so can't comment, after all the general shenanigans with X men, the new superman etc I pretty much just gave up on the blockbuster super hero films sinse I was tired of coming out of the cinema di
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
I never said the historical focus on your own part of the world was bad, and I guess the different examining bodies had differing contents on their curriculums. If anything I was trying to say a focus on your own country and geographical regi
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
I think, while Superman can get away with a no killing code, Batman has the misfortune of sending the Joker to a cardboard prison every other Thursday, but has admitted that he's psychologically incapable of letting him die, let alone killi
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
@Cx2, Well at GCSE level history I actually did the history of Medicine as a topic, which is obviously a long way from being Britain centric (heck, quite a bit of it was about the Griek and Roman medical practice which obviously was long before Br
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
one of my favorite heroes is green lantern. He needs to use his wits, smarts and he needs to think quickly in order to make what he needs with his ring. Batman is my most favorite. He is only human, so he defies death every single day, yet he
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
I think most countries' history classes focus more on their own history than anything else. At my school we covered the American revolution and civil war but aside from that the only real international aspects were directly related to the
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
@Tom, well to be brutally honest a lot of that overblown Truth justice and honour american patriotism actually makes me quite uncomfortable in a lot of ways, and what you say about the American education system I find rather scary, particularly si
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
Ghost Rider, I'm all for good action movies, plenty of fighting, lots of action, etc but unfortunately that is all they seem to have going for them. They often miss out on good character development, good story writing, and focus exclusiv
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
Nothing wrong with catchy lines and action once in a while, but if it's got nothing to back it up with it loses it's chalm pretty fast, heck how popular and well remembered are the big hollywood superhero films like the first few X men
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
I did notice in the graphic audio novels that were done, the author got quite in depth with some of the heroes. And in 52, there were a few misfit superheroes, the most prominent I can remember was the blimp, a fat guy who could float low to the g

K Jones, funnily enough I heard a while ago about a researcher who managed to make gecko-like material and used it to stick his young daughter halfway up the wall just for her amusement. The pen and paper RPG Shadowrun has already gone the rou
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
@Ghost rider, "relatable" doesn't mean "just like me" (for all some idiots in Tv think it does, though sinse that would lead me to another anti Steven moffat rant I'll stop). "Relatable" means someone with
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
If I may, I'd like to say this. Nothing I'll say here is directed at anyone, so now thats out of the way, heres my thoughts. I don't understand why all characters have to be relatable. Like, sure, its nice, but if its all the t
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
Dark, fair enough. I merely was trying to think of a possible reason why the superhero genre is the way it is. However, upon reflection I think CAE's point about wish fulfillment makes the most sense.When I look back at my childhood I loved

@Tom, I'm afraid sighting the "it's not intended for adults" criteria just isn't especially workable for me sinse I've never really been a demographics person. I read h g wells "war of the worlds" (in a
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
I don't really feel like the idea behind the action-thrillers of the 30s and 40s was to create relatable characters so much as wish-fulfillment or entertainment, and at the time, I'm given to believe the target audience was generally ol
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
Dark, I would hazard a guess one reason a lot of the superhero comics, cartoons, and movies aren't fleshed out more then they are is because they are mainly targeted at children and young adults. I'm not sure Superman, Batman, and the

Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
I agree Tward as I said this is why I personally am not much of a fan of a lot of Super hero stuff, aprticularly when you add in a tendency for predictable plots and not fleshing out the backgroun world, (indeed in a lot of marvel and dc
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
Ghost Rider, I find myself agreeing a lot with Dark's post above. Not only is Stygian a fairly close likeness to Batman I can't find any obvious vulnerabilities or weaknesses in his character mentally or physically. Its a common enough
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
Well ghost rider, again the problem with games is the old one, just because a person has a good idea in writing doesn't mean it is a good idea for a game. I'm afraid I also have a miner problem with the character, albeit you've desc

Hello,This is a nice description. I'm guessing that this costumed vigilante's card will probably be used for roleplaying sessions of some sort, or is it just made for the fun of creating a hero type character to add to writing and s
