| Panthera 05/04/12 7:23:00 PM #296 | From: XIII_rocks | #291 Problem is that basically as soon as he turned face, his entire character became "is invincible". It ends up looking absurd when he kicks out at 1 from all kinds of stuff and ignores finishers (his whole feud with Christian was basically "Christian continually gets scared when he realizes that Sheamus, after having a lengthy and brutal match, can take 3 Spears and get back on his feet like nothing happened within thirty seconds"), it's one of those things that doesn't make him look good, it just makes his opponent look bad. And it's not like I hate Sheamus or anything. I think he's usually pretty good in the ring and isn't a bad talker either. I just don't like the fact that we're approaching a full year now where he's spent about 90% of the time being booked to look like it's physically impossible for him to lose (and a lot of that remaining 10% is the initial feud with Mark Henry, where he was on the losing end of things about twice). It gets boring to have a major character whose very presence kills stories because you don't honestly believe he can be beaten. -- Mistake you're making - overlooking the fact that we might not want to be saved. |

First example that comes to mind would be Valkyrie Profile, which takes some pretty significant liberties with Norse mythology I believe. Although that's actually using Norse mythology as a setting. I'm talking more...if I made a game and there was a character named Fenrir, some people would get extremely angry if he didn't end up doing stuff like being sealed away, cutting off a guys hand or killing a major leader during the apocalypse because those are things the Fenrir of Norse mythology did.

What I am referring to is cases where a video game (or book or movie or whatever) will use a name from mythology for a character that doesn't have all that much in common with the mythological figure. Some people get really pissed off over this kind of thing and say it's a sign of the writers being too lazy/stupid to get it right. I don't see much of an issue with it myself.

How they will I have no idea, but how they "should" is probably to skip a decent length of time in the middle, so you have him wrap up something at, I don't know, Summerslam, plant the seeds for an eventual Wrestlemania match and then have him return prior to the Rumble to build up to WM29. Avoid having him start to feel too routine, while getting a decent mini-return boost when he shows up again.

It's probably both, but more the Raw part. Smackdown doesn't get nearly as many viewers, so it makes sense to make the Raw side have the main event. But if Cena were on Smackdown or out injured or something they'd probably throw the occasional Smackdown main event in just because, so his presence probably contributes a little.

The only real problem I have with the Rey thing is how bizarre it is when you consider how those moves work when used by anyone else - a drop kick to the knee tends to result in the recipient just collapsing where they are, the headscissors take down style moves usually cause people to flip where they stand, but when Rey uses them at key points in a match, the exact same motion makes his opponents go flying into the ropes even though it makes no sense with how the moves usually operate.
Fairly minor issue though, it's not something that actually bothers me. -- Mistake you're making - overlooking the fact that we might not want to be saved. |

| Panthera 04/22/12 11:59:00 AM #74 | From: LeonhartFour | #070 Yeah, definitely a progression there. In FFVI they were rare to the point that most people probably never even saw them, FFVII then made them happen somewhat often and were good, but they weren't showing up all the time and they didn't get really super strong until the end. Then in FFVIII you can trip your way into Limit Breaks and they're ludicrously overpowered. And the solution was clearly to make them suck hard and also to make your characters look really weird when you get them! I'm not sure where FFX fits, I guess it's probably back to FFVII levels of "fairly balanced, become crazy late in the game" more or less, just with a lot more ways to play around with getting them. -- Mistake you're making - overlooking the fact that we might not want to be saved. |

| Panthera 04/21/12 11:39:00 PM #439 | From: Jakyl25 | #371 Not really. For one thing, it goes back to the "hero of today is the villain of tomorrow" idea - most people in the WWE have done enough **** in their careers that you can easily hate them unless you want to seriously buy into the 3 month rule as erasing everything from the past. In Big Show's case, the guy has basically tried to murder people on live TV in the past (tossing Kurt Angle from like 30 feet up, throwing Cena into a searchlight). If Edge had stuck around, he kidnapped and tortured a man for a month before tricking the mans son into nearly killing him. Randy Orton spent a while with a gimmick of "likes to abuse retired dudes" and then a while longer with a gimmick of "loves causing severe injuries and brain damage". It's pretty easy to be entertained by guys like this getting beaten on by someone who hasn't done anything nearly as bad. Ziggler beat up Teddy Long off-screen once, and it's still way tamer than the sins a lot of faces have on their records. And the "minor dickery" of heels today often is just that. A lot of modern heels don't really do much besides cheat in matches and insult people. From: edwardsdv | #407 Uh, no, it's the exact opposite. If you're writing feuds where you have part of your audience majorly into one guy and the other part majorly into the other guy, you've pretty clearly got a compelling angle going on - it's one where every side in the conflict garners major crowd support. -- Mistake you're making - overlooking the fact that we might not want to be saved. |
