Welcome! 03/05/2016
Welcome, everyone, to the new 910CMX Community Forums. I'm still working on getting them running, so things may change. If you're a 910 Comic creator and need your forum recreated, let me know and I'll get on it right away. I'll do my best to make this new place as fun as the last one!

He didn't give it to me. I stole it from him, then left him in an overly complicated death trap with at least two dozen failure points, cackled madly at him and told him nothing could stop me now, then departed without making sure that the trap would actually kill him. I know how to properly villain, thank you. And before you ask, yes, I did twirl my moustache. Repeatedly. I grew one especially for the occasion.

This happened in Denmark, too, due to an expensive lesson. When they decided to connect our two main islands with a bridge across the Big Belt, they failed to take a few things into account, such as the time it would take to build the bridge, the cost of materials and the wages paid to the workers and entrepreneurs. As a result it took six years longer to build and went one and a half billion dollars over budget. The next step was to connect our easternmost main island to Sweden and amazingly the planners took the lessons from the Big Belt fiasco into account. As a result the bridge across the Sound was finished half a year ahead of schedule and almost a hundred million dollars under budget. An expensive lesson but at least they learned it.

You take that back! I worked hard to earn my Villain card!

I don't see it. Why in the world would Sirleck do anything as stupid as tell Magus where he had stowed his remaining wealth? Nope. He wouldn't. If Magus wants wealth, he is gonna have to earn it the hard way.

Really now. Bram Stoker wasn't that bad.
-
Also, it doesn't make you seem superior. It makes you seem insecure.
-
Possibly. We'll see. The big issue is that once you have demonstrated a willingness to commit mass murder of people whose sole crime was not believing in your godhood, you have pretty much sunk so far past the moral event horizon that there is really no coming back.

Hey, wild speculation has its place. I am all for the possibility of some hypothetical reality where Damien might be redeemed. In fact, one reason I loathe Damien as much as I do is how one-dimensional he was. I am not saying he is unrealistic as a character, mind you -- only that all his personality traits are Narcissistic and abhorrent.
-
I suspect we have to agree to disagree here. I do see your interpretation and it is valid, but it struck me more as denial than acknowledgment. Nonetheless, you have made your point.
-
No he didn't. What he said was that if he wasn't a god, existing would be pointless. That is not in any way or form acknowledgment of wrongdoing.
-
Well... sort of. The Heterodyne who first got the idea of making the Castle sentient (Faustus Heterodyne, I think) also shared his charming personality with it. I am not sure but I think the connecting apparatus was his design.

http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2500 Page 2500. Wow. Also, you tell him, Ellen. He deserves it.

Good intentions can still lead to ruinous results. In fact, they are notorious for it.

I kind of recognise that from my own cats. They really didn't like thunderstorms. It took time to soothe them.

TotalBiscuit just passed away. Cancer. He was only in his thirties. I didn't agree with him politically. Especially not with his attitude towards GamerGate. But he had a wife and kids and bollocking NO-ONE deserves that. I hate cancer so much.
-
Of course, some people don't consider that to be all that much of a problem.
-
Frightened, or standoffish, or tearing all over the place at random moments?
-
Ah! I'm sorry, I didn't get that. I just tried to find examples of likeable characters that nonetheless weren't safe to be in the vicinity of.
-
Well... just remember that 'compared to.' I am not sure it is actually easy per se.
-
...that was the problem. She couldn't be after a certain incident where she was badly damaged. From time to time she would with little warning revert to her original programming, which was to kill John Connor without regard to the damage she did underway. By the time the series was unfortunately cancelled, they had yet to permanently resolve that particular problem. I agree with your other examples, mind. I suspect we could make quite a long list if we tried. Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy readily spring to mind just to name two.
-
His cancer got him? God dammit. I did not agree with him on everything but I would not wish cancer on him or anyone for that. God, how I hate cancer.

Go ahead and post it there too if you like. Your friendly neighbourhood moderator will delete this post for you if you really want it removed.

I read an amazing news story in the Washington Post about a device that can interprete brain waves so precisely that it will allow a paralysed person to direct a robot arm so that they can use it to pour coffee for themselves and drink it. They still experience spillage but that might be due to needing more practice rather than because of design flaws in the arm. I wonder if this is a case of technology where the designers are like, "We know bugger all about how this actually works, but it works so I guess we just have to keep working at the math to prove it."
-
They have come up before. Nioi has long been a contentious figure on previous incarnations of these forums. Hoo boy, yes. Or Cameron from Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Ah! I think I get what you mean now. Thank you. Also, if she is going to appear in her Box little girl form, it will be that much harder to want to hurt her. It is so unfair. You feel like such a heel if you try to make yourself hit something that looks like a cute little girl. O.O No, if there is any conflict here to really worry about, it is Magus. He wants revenge much more badly and I am not sure he will be easily satisfied. Probably. Let's allow it to pass. It is not that important. I think it is because at that state the brain's neurons are so young that they still have no experience in forming memories. The brain needs practice at everything. And gets better at retaining things the more use it sees. Occasionally Lucas acted like a complete hack. I of all people cannot bring myself to condemn him for that. Ah, I see. Only please be careful about that. 'Emo' has been used so often in a negative context that it comes across as an insult. One of each, please.
