I might ridicule Rose Tico on the forum or in conversations with my friends, but wouldn't do so to the actress who played her. These are more of grey areas and must be approached on a case by case basis.

Verbal Ridicule is simply the mildest form of bullying.

Which is why I wouldn't go attacking the actress online as others did. I see no point in bullying someone. However, when a work is made public, it is open to judgement and ridicule.

Did one actress play two roles? In-universe twins? ......or have I got the wrong character entirely? (Remembering a bomb bay open to vacuum, a very short weapons tech, and spherical bombs falling out of the bay —due to magical microgravity— when a jam was finally cleared.)

The girl in the bombing run (Paige Tico) was the sister of Rose Tico and was played by a different actress.

Rose left. Paige right.

To say Jar Jar Binks is the most popular Star Wars character is a bit silly, and I think you have a bit of ridicule coming your way if you do. But to say he’s your favourite - others might disagree with you, but ultimately, although they might try to persuade you otherwise, you are 100% entitled to that opinion no matter what.

The Web comic Darths and Droids. They made it their goal to make Jar Jar the most popular character (within their comic) and they achieved it. I guess you could Sally is the most popular character and she is playing Jar Jar.

Darths and Droids is based on a hypothetical parallel universe where Star Wars never existed and the story of Star Wars exists solely within one group of players of one RPG, starting with Phantom Menace.

Qui Gon and Obi Wan are not master and apprentice, they are two Jedi characters played by experienced roleplayers.

Jar Jar is played by Sally, the kid sister of one of the players. "I want to be an alien! With big floppy ears! And they live underwater!"

I think this is a pretty easy one, but I'm curious to see what others think. I'm going with the POWER RING. Flight, protective force shield, space travel, knowledge, translator, the best combat capabilities and so much more. The rest seems pretty trivial in comparison. In second place would be the Iron Man suit. Mjolnir is pretty cool, but much less so than the Power Ring or Iron man suit. Without the rest of Thor's powers, it is more a novelty than anything else. That Batsuit is okay, but you could probably construct/purchase something pretty close. Cap's shield is also a novelty item but much less cool or useful than Mjolnir.


The symbiote is a wild card, comes down to the personality of the symbiote, will it work with you or take over. If it works alongside of you then I'd place it just below the Iron Man suit. If it works against you then it is obviously the worst of the bunch.

  1. Power Ring
  2. Iron Man suit
  3. Mjolnir
  4. Batsuit or Cap's Shield
*Symbiote is a wild card, see above, it is either #3 or #6.



@Lord-Marcus : why don't you join in on the discussion!

Yea... the whole list, like I provided under the picture.

I’ll take the Power Ring (A); and the boots/Powered knees from (C) to go.

Hard pass on the other choices. Three are useless to me for lack of sufficient Strength / Skill / Dex and as for (F) ...I don’t wanna be Pendrake-Dax, Nope, Nope, Nope.
 
A. Power rings are tricky. The green power rings are relatively free of unwanted side effects, but they come with the caveat of you are at the beck and call of the Guardians. That's not a huge problem for me because I am a team player and do not mind taking orders from someone smarter than me. Ganthet is a dick, but the other Guardians are reasonable people.

The other power rings, have a lot of nasty side effects. Maybe the blue ring would be okay, but I'm too pessimistic to use one. Well indigo rings are okay I guess. I probably have more compassion than willpower, hope, avarice, fear, anger, or love. I've never seen a television show or comic book with indigo rings in it so I have no idea how they organize themselves or what they do. The Indigo Corp is the least developed least interesting group.

Power ring is first choice because I could theoretically use it.

B. WIthout all of Bruce Wayne's advanced training, the Batsuit is just a costume. I guess it's counts as armor. Unlike the other items on the list, this is the only one that won't get me killed. Unless the Joker is real of course.

C. But speaking of armor. Iron Man's suit is the best. But assuming you don't break your spine in a flying accident, you are screwed the second you need to repair something or perform maintenance. WIthout being friends with Tony Stark or being Tony Stark, you cannot use it for long.

D. Speaking of not being able to use it...Moljinir only works for children of Odin. I happen to look a lot like my father, so I'm pretty sure my mom didn't fool around with Odin behind his back.

E. Captain America's shield. This is the only item on the list that doesn't have side effects or require advanced training. But there are very few situations where I find myself thinking "I wish I had an indestructible shield!"

F. A symbiote is self maintaining and requires little if any training BUT it comes with a substantial loss of freedom. It's still my third choice after power ring. It's a gamble, but if my symbiote isn't a horrific monster I could come out ahead.
