Unsure how LordR would deal with any eventual Joe clones. I think that the only reason clones get memories of their host is because the host's shard has been with them and that it exchanged data with Noelle's shard. Meaning that they cant get any memories of normal people. Then again Cranial is a thing so I'm unsure under what specifications Noelle's shard is under.
I was really torn how to react to that, with "hugs" or "funny".
I wouldn't say even more than especially when Wards didn't aim to cut people to pieces, or put black widows on people. Fact is both sides escalated but it was undersiders especially Taylor that took it to far. Heck Joe admitted his bias when trying to defend the undersiders and his inner thought made it quite clear that he also view the undersiders at fault for their actions and even thought the undersiders cross a line, he woul have rather is the undersiders hadn't robbed the bank.
That's why I said "just as much or even more".
Yes. they just cornered 'siders.
That's the thing they did have other options, Grue darkness, Rachel dogs flinging him away, and other more. Heck in Canon Aegis got taken out by Rachel dogs without being cut to pieces. At least in this fic Taylor seems to acknowledge she cross a line and there's a WoG that mentioned she will show more restraint, which is a good thing compare to her canon attitude.
Not actually that useful in that case, since he could've just fly up, and then watch where they're going. And dogs can't outrun him, iirc.
And? He'll just fly back.
When he pretended to be a Clockblocker. Catch a flying, highly maneuverable target is hard, you know.
Rachel dogs are quite fast, but anyway if the undersiders had decided to run Taylor could've also interfere with bugs, there's also the fact that the he would have been force to not pursue by the PRT.
Maybe or by then the undersiders would have been gone, or the dogs could have ping him down for a while, and Taylor could have harass him with bugs by blocking his vision. And yes I'm aware how difficult it is catching a flying brute, but Aegis still needs to get close range and Rachel dog have been proven to be quite fast. Any way I don't know why you're trying to defend Taylor actions, because there always other options, that could have been taken. And there's also the fact that had the undersiders had chosen to just escape Aegis would have been force to remain at the bank and focus on the hostages.
I often defend someone's actions. Because I believe that events need to be viewed from different angles in order to get an objective picture.
Indeed. They could've surrender, and avoid all that mess. What an insightful idea! /s
You mean even higher escalation? Instead of wounding one Brute, who most likely can survive it, attack dozens of people with poisonous bugs. Good idea, yes.
Is that so? I don't believe he would've let them go. He set his mind.
Different situations, different outcomes. In canon Aegis, almost certainly, was less pissed off and desperate.
.....really
How you get higher escalation from that, and wounding the brute, I said harass or distract I meant more using both Grue darkness and Taylor bugs, or maybe even use Tattletale and Regent to help with that, who said anything about wounding them. Also where the hell you get attacking the PRT troopers and civilians, that wasn't relevant to the discussion about how to deal with Aegis.
He would have to follow orders, didn't that happen before with PRT heroes or Ward every time they engage into a chase with villain in which they were order to disengage. Plus as Joe said the hostages would have been more important to the heroes than the Villains, Aegis would have been order to focus on them eventually, if the undersiders had just decided to escape.
Joe WAS a fan of Sphere.
Looks like we both missreaded each other's comments here.
as "Taylor could've interfere with bugs to ensure PRT won't pursue them", or something like that.
as "Instead of what they did, they could've wound one Brute", it's seems.
I already said what I think about darkness. It useful for combat, but not so much for stealth and throwing off pursuers who can fly.
That very much relevant. Because each second they spent on Aegis was a second that PRT used to get close to them. And another chance that the rest of New Wave appeared, especially since that was on live streamed on TV.
Why didn't I see where you deconstruct Wards' actions, then? There definitely was a bunch of things "that could have been taken that would have been taken better or less damaging".
Joe already did that for me, there wasn't much deconstruction on the action of the undersiders, plus again we're focusing on how to deal Aegis.
The swarm and smoke point wouldn't stand especially how in canon they manage to perform their usual hit and run tactics. And I wasn't comparing Taylor to Joe, I mentioned Joe deconstruction of the Wards actions and the undersiders, more so the wards than the undersiders. Where did you get the comparison of Joe and Taylor from?.
Interesting, this seem quite the decent Omake to add, if only Joe could increase the amount of clones he could create, it would have made things so much easier.
Just wait till Mixing Mixtures (just 200CP!!!); 8 clones, according to WOL.
Wouldn't seeing real-life Transformers-esque machines with the added sound effect cause a boost in sales?
Corporate scare tactics and covering their asses.
I don't think he could make an Eru-Illuvatar call bead.
Imagine though if he could. He would be able to say with a straight face that he "has the power of God and Anime on his side!" and he would be 100% correct/truthful.
He may very well have the Power of God on his side, he definitely has the power of anime, even without the call bead. I would def dig him getting in contact with Gandalf.
... Sundancer.
