The problem is it isn't supposed to be funny. Funny names are incredibly annlying once they wear out their welcome in 5 minutes.I dislike Aimbot because I think it's unfunny and unimaginative. Got nothing to do with cheating. I just look at it and go: "Am... I supposed to laugh?"
Edit: The current count is 33 of 66 votes for Transformation Sequence and 9 of 66 for Aimbot. We reached our goal, folks! 🥳 You can close the vote now, SW.
First, it's a name by someone who is silly. So a silly name is preferable. Second, I can not discern any other virtue that Aimbot is supposed to have. I think the name boring. And that's worse than silly. Case in point, it's also worse than stealing 40 pies.
On the other hand, is having that "not-completely-serious" mindset when she is part of a team that is going to be fighting very serious threats like psychopathic EB cultists, hardened villains, and freaking kaiju really the correct mindset to have?
She acts silly, but on the gun range she was very serious. You can be both. I believe she can identify when the need to be serious arises, just as well as when some levity is required.
Yes, because seriously serious people tend to go insane from pressure when fighting very serious threats unless they can vent in some way. Humor is, incidentally, one of the most effective and safest ways to do so
Perhaps so. I don't think the current expression the majority of the thread wants is funny though.
Neither do I think that black humor is funny most of the time, yet here we are.
I suddenly have an image of her wielding scary looking guns that shoot pretty fireworks.
No, it's not. Aimbot is vaguely amusing and on the nose. Transformation sequence is straight up description, barely apt and boring beside.
And Aimbot has nothing but negative connotations attached to it while being entirely unfunny.
It really depends on how we're defining "serious". Repeated head blows? Absolutely that will cause brain injury, as professional boxers and football players learned the hard way. A single concussion sufficient to knock someone out, particularly if they are then careful not to get hit in the head again? Far fewer consequences.
You're right, there's not. Lady Sureshot, Sailor Shining Shot, and Transformation Sequence would all get nicknames. Then again, even Perfect Storm doesn't get its full name said by Taylor most of the time, so that shouldn't be all that surprising.
She was intended to be super chipper. Whether that's grating or not is very individual.
Tbh for a little bit there it looked like it would go there, but it resolved itself? Somehow?
