Am I the only one who thinks that this trope can be re-named? I know it\'s already been re-named before from \"Why is Arnold Saving Something?\", but I do believe that the current name can be improved.

The current name sounds more like a Snowclone of \"Big Damn Heroes\", and other tropes named \"Big Damn X\", and has a gratuitous curse word in it when many of the examples listed are children\'s works.

Why not re-name it to \"Big Movie\" instead? A lot of trailers for these types of films tend to advertise them as \"in their first big movie!\" or something similar. The promotions and blurbs also tend to use the word \"big\" in one way or another. Finally, it gets rid of the needless \"damn\" in the title, while shortening the name.

Powerhouse - Quality over Quantity. Powerhouse armies are going to rely on small numbers of powerful units with high stats and great strength. Due to resource demands, however, they probably won't be as numerous as other factions. Any special abilities they have will focus on powering them up in battle or dealing heavy damage to enemies.

Subversive - Quantity over Quality. Subversive armies will be able to field larger numbers of troops, but they won't be much good in a fight. However, they're unlikely to rely on a Zerg Rush, though it is possible. Instead they'll be the Combat Pragmatists, utilizing stealth, deception, infiltration, and disabling abilities to get the advantage on enemies that way.

Nova's arsenal is very much based around quality over quantity, as she has a 100 supply limit, and all her units, individually, are all far more powerful than the base units Raynor and Swann field. In addition, only 3 units in her arsenal can actually stealth unaided; Spec Ops ghosts, Banshees, and Nova herself. All the others require the Raven MK II's healing drone, and even then, that only works with an upgrade. She hits several marks of a Powerhouse commander.

Raynor, on the other hand, is very definitely not quality over quantity. One of the most popular unit comps for Raynor is marine/marauder/medic, maybe firebats in there too sometimes. He can have armies of over a hundred total units this way. I don't think even Swann can field so many units at once. Actually, I think that's very nearly enough reason to qualify Raynor for Horde rather than either Balanced or Subversive if it weren't for the fact that his tech, although seldom used as far as I've been able to see, is also quite viable.

At any rate, ironically enough, I'm not sure Nova being labeled Subversive is accurate. In spite of her stealth assets, she really does have far more in common with the Powerhouse style than the Subversive one, at least based on what I'm reading here.
