[up]Pretty much, yeah.

Honestly, they should've just killed the franchise and do something new if they wanted a Norse-themed game.

Did he raid Commander's closet for that? Because it looks pretty similar to what he wears when the government shut down.

That's pretty much Disturbed's mascot, isn't it.

I mean, didn't someone say that said character is an Attention Whore? It makes demented sense that he'd consider dressing like that.

[up][up][up]You think that's bizarre, check out Mercy's.

[up]...Huh. That's actually pretty good. I can understand why went with the current design, but this would've been a very interesting denial of the usual tropes associated with "healer" characters.

Ahaha, that's fantastic. I would've absolutely loved that.

But Mercy is probably their most successful character, in terms of accessibility and mass appeal, to the great detriment of the actual gameplay experience. I'm willing to bet that being a big black guy instead would've been far less successful.

Looks like some portion of the ideas ended up as Lucio.

Oh Navy TIALS... you really did pretty much set out to screw Commander B whenever you could.

Though as a minor point... considering that Commander was a Designer Baby, wouldn't it have made sense to sequence in the immunity to poison ivy that some people have? I mean, rashes aren't even remotely badass.

But if those rashes make Commander Badass swell up larger, he makes an even more effective meat shield.

On the flip side, if he's distracted by the massive amounts of itching, it makes him even less effective as a meat shield.

Not to mention the whole "powering through an illness or injury to still kick a bunch of ass" narrative. That's always good for "fuck yeah!" points.

Conservatives exist.

Many wind up eventually getting banned because they start behaving uncivilly, endorsing white supremacy and/or antifeminist movements, etc. But the act alone of liking Trump is not in and of itself a bannable offense, provided no effort is made to endorse him that relies on white supremacist rhetoric or its ilk.

The avatar and sig in question are in what I would consider to be poor taste as a liberal, but not exactly a reason to start disregarding forum policy and switch the topic of discussion to a troper.

Can we move on?

Not that. The whole "fuck yeah" points thing. It follows pretty tightly. Like the whole "America, Fuck Yeah!" from Team America World Police.

Right, because "fuck yeah" totally wasn't a thing before Team America: World Police.

Less sarcastically, I wasn't thinking of the TAWP use of "America, fuck yeah!" with that post, I just meant it as another way of saying "that's totally awesome".

(As for the rest of the comments, not the right forum.)
