It doesn't get any more hardcore than that.

Power Rangers? Can't you guys just go back to the WH40K discussion?

I have to call Aura "little green" from now on.

It shall be done.

Shut up nerd!!

Tommy supporters have always been butt hurt that he has no real wins over Jason, at all.

Besides as the evil green ranger you mean? That probably wouldn't count though I guess, since they completely tied in a martial arts tournament at the gym before Tommy became evil for awhile.

And that Tommy admitted that Jason was physically stronger than him. ๐Ÿ˜›

He occasionally asked Jason for advice when it came to leadership related stuff too, IIRC. Funny that Tommy admitted that though, since he arguably has some better feats against Goldar, Lord Zedd, and the like, in addition to that stopping a monster with one hand scenario.

Proof? 313 I don't remember this. mmm

Sounds like terrible, terrible stuff. I stopped watching power rangers after Billy and Kimberly left.

I never really watched Power Rangers that much.

I was more into Beetle Borgs.

I stopped watching when Ron Wesserman (the guy who sung the Mighty Morphin theme and all those cool rock/semi-rock songs played during the fight scenes of the episodes) stopped supporting the series with his music, which I guess was around the time Billy and Kimberly left. Aside from that, I only watched the little Gold Ranger saga (was that before or after they left though? I forget now).

Kat sucked as the pink ranger (case in point, the awful Power Rangers Turbo movie). Didn't like the forced relationship with her and Tommy either after Kimberly left. As for Billy, he eventually became a purely mechanics kind of guy (no longer a ranger), to the point of leaving the show altogether. The plot reason they used for him leaving was amusingly funny though, I'll admit.

That admittedly was a pretty decent show too for its time.

First episode of Dino Thunder. Also in Dino Thunder, he fought 3 rangers one on one while unmorphed. Beat two of them. Came close to beating the 3rd.

Because I made you the Green Ranger. And Little Green is from something awesome.

Be proud of it, Little Green.

But since I'm tall, wouldn't I be Big Green, which also comes from the same source material?

No. Because you are Little Green.

Deal with it.

Looking back, I wish they had made this fight longer, or something.

Only the first half of the post was trolling.

I meant Tau, not Tyranids. Tyranids are fine.

I already replied to everything you just said in the form of Shin, and yes, their methods are important. Implacable, mysterious, forboding, etc, yes, these terms describe the Tyranids and the Necrons fairly well. But the Necrons have altogether different motivations, not motivated by hunger, but by hatred, hatred for the living. The Tyranids thematically fill the role of a horde of alien locusts, with some cosmic horror thrown in. Thematically, the Necrons are similar to the undead, led by the most horrible cosmic horrors in the setting. The Tyranids are chaotic, they symbolise the chaos of evolution, natural selection, etc. The Necrons embody order, absolute order, they are anti-chaos, if they have their way, nothing will ever change. And no, after destroying the Warp, everything will not be killed, but the galaxy will be enslaved, the only threat to the C'Tan gone, they will gorge on them like cattle. And nothing ever changes. This is an important thematic element of the Necrons, they are anti-Chaos, anti-Change.

Which is irrelevant because if you pull back the

No one ever complains about Cthulhu not being humanised, because it is an Eldritch Horror that should not be humanised. Same principle with the Necrons. Should their character be expanded on? Perhaps so, I have said that they should be emphasized more in the fluff, but humanised? Naw dawg, dawg naw.

Nobody complains about Cthulhu because he is a character in a single, extremely short, story. He didn't need to have character development or any real flavor besides being horrific because Cthulhu wasn't designed to hold people's interest long enough to sell more shit down the long. Gaunt's Ghosts, the by far most popular and best selling book series in the black library, consists of thirteen full length novels. Could Cthulhu with the mannerisms that he had in The Call of Cthulhu, carry 14 novels as the primary antagonist or protagonist? Nope. Ibram Gaunt can though, despite being a far less complex character. Buuuut that's just my point. There's a reason why, despite allll the fantastical and unique factions in the WH40K universe, it's the same old same old regular humans, the Imperial Guard, the Inquisition, etc etc, who are by far the most popular factions in the mythos. There's a reason why there's 14 Gaunt's Ghost novels, dozens of Space Marine novels and omnibuses, multiple ominbuses with Commisars as the Protagonist, and multiple Inquisition omnibuses, yet there are a whopping... zero stories that take place from a Necron perspective. There's like, 2 or 3 books that have Necrons in them at all. Again, there's a reason for this. GW is a for profit company. If there was a high demand for more Necron content then there would be more Necron content.

It is a cool fight. If only because that is like the only time Zed fought.
