No go on the quicker Sarah interrupt, then? Does Taylor absolutely have to sort-of-confess and obliterate the halberd right now?
Shadowcub? Take your hateboner and shitposting somewhere else.
To be fair to him, New Wave Taylor is relatively rare and I enjoy reading it when it happens.
Actually, she didn't admit to committing a crime in any real sense. Blowing up a cage you were illegally imprisoned in? Not a crime. And since the only reason he doesn't know that is that he couldn't be arsed to let her finish a goddamn sentence that's no excuse. And yes, he should be assuming there are extenuating/mitigating factors. People who don't believe they what they did was justified don't go hang out at police stations.
Sucking up to an author is just as bad IMO. It's what enables... people whose names will not be named.
Um, NO. His social skills are eh at best. He is not a moron incapable of processing that someone having a civil chat with New Wave is PROBABLY not a threat (see above for why Master/Stranger/Thinker isn't a valid explanation).
One, Ack AFAIK hasn't abandoned ANYTHING. Two, constructive criticism =/= bitching.
Yes, yes she does. That halberd had to go. It was ruining the scene
This is when Taylor called him for a chat.
New Wave is not a police station. And have you never heard of protective camouflage?
Again, my problem with the scene has more to do with Sarah's silence. She's sisters with a lawyer. She does law-related stuff for her side (?) job (i.e. heroing). She should know better than to let someone who's accused of a crime, whom she knows didn't do it in the context of the accusation, to continue to speak without a lawyer present.Yes, yes she does. That halberd had to go. It was ruining the scene
I personally think that Armsmaster attempting to arrest her is entirely in character.
They are recognized allies of law enforcement though. That has to mean something.
You might notice that she registers Lady Photon talking, but not what she's saying.
Ok, so he's going off incomplete information despite there being no time pressure. Still stupid. And he kind of does know that she's having a civil chat: He can, you know, observe that the place is not wrecked despite at least two blasters and one flying brute being present, observe that no one is yelling, and observe that they appear to have been talking.
They are another hero team. Close enough. Protective camo? Don't make me laugh. We're dealing with a teenage who can very reasonably assumed not have any powers useful for that (if they do, you're dealing with Eidolon Jr). That's the kind of shit professional spies think is too risky.
Sarah could've still done something physical, like throw her hand over Taylor's mouth to keep her from responding to the initial accusation. Taylor then struggles to talk through the improvised gag and turns dragon anyway - this time with Sarah's hand now inside Taylor's mouth.
Unless I read the earlier scene wrong, she and Vicky learned the whole story at the same time Danny did. That's long enough to know that Armsmaster doesn't know as much as he thinks and he should really sit down before he does something stupid.
I'm sorry everyone. It made sense to me from the start, but after this post. No One should be still having issues or calling idiot ball on this. From Armsmasters IC view this all makes sense from an Armsmaster viewpoint. And he's Armsmaster. Social niceties or extenuating circumstances aren't really his thing.
He has not yet stepped inside. He does not know that either Flashbang or Vicky is present (as I just said, and you seem to be ignoring) and only knows that Vicky is there because he was told. For all he knows, she's upstairs or even gone.
Or she may be a friend of Vicky's.
