  1. I'm, gonna have to disagree. As we've seen, in all those things that don't have straight white male as the lead, it was still generally the white male showing up and watching the movie. Look at The Marvels. Who did those people blame for it's failure? White males. Who show up the most for the movie? White males. Break down of their sexual identity isn't given, but odds are they're straight. The reason these things are failing, isn't because the lead isn't a straight white male. One, it's killing off beloved characters and for a large part of that fan base, it was characters that had multiple stories in other forms. Yes, George said the books were only canon until a movie said otherwise. However, what did the movies do? Killed off the popular characters and turned them into crap characters. There was no reason to kill Luke, Leia and Han. There was no reason to ruin Luke. This was done because he was a white male character and it's not helping new fans like those old characters either. I know a few people who like Star Wars, but were introduced later and they go "Screw Luke! Look what he did to Grogu!" Something EU Luke never would've done. 😛 The second issue is people aren't enjoying the story. I know watching Ahsoka, I was so disappointed with it's fight scenes it made me a bit meh on it. Ahsoka was so bad ass in the animations and then they turned her into a fighter the likes of Obi-Wan in Episode 4 😛 None of the movement she had. Didn't even feel close to the prequel era fights in which she was a part of.
  2. Yup. I recall him saying one thing then contradicting it another time in matters of what is and what isn't. The only thing that really seems to stick for his period of the films is...if it's in the films, it's law over anything else. 😛

    "IF" Movie

    Wanted to see the movie...HOWEVER...I thought to myself "It'll have a twist...and this will be the twist. I'll google it. If that's the twist, it's way to obvious and I won't go to the movie." I was right. 😛
  4. 2) Yelena still has her mother alive, which I believe, I heard she'd be in this movie as well. 3) I am not for Harrison getting the role. He's both been seeming to phone in his roles as he just cashing checks now, likely know he's old and setting up his family with some more wealth before he goes. He just hasn't seemed to care about his job. I hope Taskmaster is one of the fatalities of this movie as she's one who came off as uninteresting. 4) Who knows.
  5. My only expectation for Star Wars, was for the sequels to follow Heir to the Empire...at the very least give us Luke, Leia and Han as they were in the books. I knew they weren't going to give us the next chapter as they were obviously to afraid to recast Luke, Leia and Han for the sequels. I didn't expect them to kill them all off and ruin their characters tho.
  6. 50 Resist on F/C is likely to be fine, however with Electric being a resist based set, getting those resists up as high as possible is always a good thing if you can. I wouldn't worry about chasing the +DMG bonuses and work on Recovery and survival. I wouldn't say it's so much that BYOS, but more that, you don't always team with people who can help your survival. I like using Thunderstrike too. 🙂
  7. The Old Republic is with Sith running around in abundance. The High Republic is with Sith thought wiped out. Different eras have the Jedi acting different ways.
  8. I know, I just think it's still ugly 😛
  9. Still has the ugly power vein lines.
  10. *replied to topic already* 😛
  11. Here's my Elec/Elec/Soul, so you can make changes as seen fit. The thing to look at imo, is my resists are better 75% S/L/E, almost 66% F/C (with the Reactive Proc, that will get to 73% with enough damage), the other resists are better too, and it also has 100% Slow Resist. I wouldn't have slotted a lot of the ways you did. Stamina = Performance Shifter: +End Proc, Power Transfer: End Mod & +Heal Proc. I'd likely slot Physical Perfection the same way. So that's just 3 slots each. Combat Jumping: LotG: +RCH, both +Resist IOs and a Kismet. I don't know why you're taking Flurry. Build Up would just be +Build Up Proc. 6 slot Lightning Field with Superior Scrapper's Strike. You want to move the Critical Strikes +50% Crit Chance Proc to an actual attack (I have forgotten which attack is best suited for it, I don't believe it was Charged Brawl, but I did that for some reason outside of being the best, and I don't recall why at this moment) There's just some quick observation on the build at this moment Scrapper (Electrical Melee - Electric Armor).mbd
  12. Really? I thought Robots before the update were supposed to be one of the best 😮
  13. I believe the idea is Nathan IS OLD! He's 53! So as far as old Green Lantern's go, Guy was the best choice.
  14. What you're failing to see is the outside has slowed down while Superman is going superspeed. What? You think his super speed means his suit just magically appears on him? 😛
  15. I personally can never get behind Stalker Martial Arts without Dragon's Tail, so I say go Scrapper.
  16. I should rephrase it, it seems off. The first power seems like it's just putting a low damage Energy Blast into the support set. And something about the set just feels lacking, when I look at it as a whole. *shrug*
  17. I am of course open for more powersets 🙂 Energy Affinity however, doesn't seem to have a standard Support Set layout.
  18. That's what I was thinking. Electric Control would also be energy control.
  19. I'm not against more power sets, never, but would Electrical Affinity and Radiation Emission be Energy?

    The X-Men

    Storm: Storm/Storm Defender Gambit: Scrapper or Stalker Staff/SR/Energy Mastery (Focused Accuracy, Physical Perfection, Energy Torrent) Rogue: Brute SS or Dark Melee (life sapping)/INV/Energy Mastery (call up those Cyclops Eye Blasts) Shadowcat: Scrapper StJ/SR with Phase Shift. Longshot: StJ or MA/SR pick an AT
  21. Not sure where the thread is when it last discussed popularity of sets, but I believe Regen was still a very popular set, despite being considered a weak set.
  22. Not going to disagree with that, it could even give Combat Jumping level of Defense, so one could feel they're getting more out of it than just DDR.
  23. I know that, but does it give automatic crit to CS, to reset Power Siphon? Click PS. Get back into stealth. Hit someone with CS. Do I get PS to reset on an autocrit?
  24. I don't know on that. However, it won't crit for extra damage, and on the go, not sure how many times I'd be getting back into Stealth while trying to get Power Siphon to recharge.
  25. I use the first three attacks with power siphon. Then when power siphon is about to end, I hit CS to try and crit it into instant recharge. Power Siphon I slot with Gaussian's Proc and 2 Recharge IOs +5ed. Sadly, CS does not crit that well in terms of bringing Power Siphon back up. 😞 I personally hate CS with Shield, so I never play that combo. CS should crit for damage for Scrappers and Stalkers as well as insta recharge PS. Then give Brutes and Tankers PS insta crit with CS. Focused Burst should also be turned into a Total Focus clone in terms of damage, but ranged instead of melee, to make it worth while.
