>My aha moment came with a hostage situation at Kroger, multiple shooters, I showed up, I am letting arrows fly, my aim is perfect. But.. there's only so many arrows a quiver can hold, I just ran out. And then we lost a lot of good people that day, then you start to question, like, fucking arrows against TEC-9s?
How will Hawkeye and Green Arrow ever recover?
>not having specialised high tech comic book arrows that shoot out gas, light, explode etc for different situations
>not having tech/nanites/etc that return to your quiver and reform arrows when you need them
>not having a billionaire friend to invent and fund all this
>not having a billionaire friend to invent and fund all this
He doesn't need one. He's employed by a milti-billion dollar pharmaceutical company. Why THEY DIDN'T give him shit like that is retarded.
>multibillion dollar company caring enough about some random employee
Outside the seven, heroes are just PR/social media wage slaves
Realistically bows and arrows have been outdated for centuries, no shit Amazon.
wow, I can't believe nobody's ever pointed this out before
if you watch closesly you can see him picking up his arrows and using them again
Yeah all things considered they handed it pretty well, plus there was that whole movie where he went nuts with a sword. And the bow he could also use as a melee weapon.
the movie was when he became ronin iirc
its why he used a sword instead of using his bow like a bo (harhar) staff
Just get Jörg
Depends on what you mean by outdated
is he even under vaught?
You know exactly what I meant motherfucker.
Longbowmen in the Hundred Years War carried two dozen arrows in their quivers. Either he's not a superhero level shooter or there was a platoon of guys in that Kroger
Because it doesnt exist, they just make drugs
This. He should have a backpack size quiver with 50-100 that mechanically protrude when the previous one is taken like a sticky note.
Instead "lol jokes about capes". It's why I've never liked this side of capeshit. "lol it's all so dumb because I refuse to think creatively for a second and think my uncreativd realism is genuine intelligence."
Weapons are never outdated. Arrows have pretty good stopping power thanks to their protrusion and the pain one incurs any time they even breathe while stabbed.
They're high skill unlike fire arms which might as well be TV remotes which is why it's uncommon but there's a reason some hunters still buy them. A human isn't taking more pain than a buck.
The claim by the character in OP (I don't watch this faggot shit) is one that really just showcases his own inability to prepare. Going in to battle with one clip would leave you just as unarmed as going into battle with 20 arrows.
>Weapons are never outdated
In presume you wanted to say that Bows as weapons are never outdated, because otherwise I have several antique muskets to show you
>why not use a quiver that just magically has infinite arrows
Why not just use magic?
Magic > gimmick arrows
>Antiquated
You mean uncared for. A functional musket would absolutely be worth just as much as any weapon in a world where ammo was scarce. This inland vidya or walking dead logic this is flat out true.
It's out of fashion - the technology absolutely still works.
A rock will always kill a man if you strike him over the head with it; longer, more well-designed melee weapons don't change that.
Why change his statement and then reply to your bullshit. Homelander isn't "realistic" why should unrealistic tech be seen as "magic"? Let alone in Clints situation - which user clearly is speaking on jokingly - in which stark has tech that turns things from single cells to armor?
>is he even under vaught?
All superheroes are.
What happens if someone tries to do their own thing and be an independent super hero? Like, is there a character in the comic that's just a good dude trying to do their best outside of the corporate hero bubble? Do they just send a hit squad or ruin their image?
okay, I generally your logic, but I feel that it only works in the broad general. If you're trying to posit that EVERY type of weapon is timeless, then your statement is ultimately internally inconsistent, because you also specify that a functional musket is only valuable in an environment where ammo is scarce.
Conversely, modern firearms are completely worthless in any environment where it's impossible to mass-manufacture ammo for it. A tank is just a barricade in a world where gasoline is not available. So is a flamethrower.
A blunt-edge dagger is outclassed by any kitchen knife in a world where people don't wear thick armor. Metal unicorn cosplay set is worthless without a horse to put it on.
>I generally your logic
*I generally understand your logic.
But see I think the term outdated implies that these circumstances can't logically return. Not within our lifetime (assumedly) but there could be a time when melting scrap metal to make musket balls is a reality.
"Impractical" may be more precise but at the end of the day this is really just my autism about words speaking lol.
Superheroes in the comic book don't even fight crime.
>What happens if someone tries to do their own thing and be an independent super hero?
No more paychecks.
> Like, is there a character in the comic that's just a good dude trying to do their best outside of the corporate hero bubble?
Starlight.
>Do they just send a hit squad or ruin their image?
Either or.
It's not even a matter of realism it's matter of practicality. You can't spray and pray with a bow. The rate of fire is much slower. It's just an inefficient weapon in comparison.
You guys are defending this like that neckbeard survivalist that thought he'd sruvivve with a katana instead of a gun.
Just bring more arrows dumb nigger.
In The Boys? Yes they do. They fight other supes. The initial fucking reason that A Train smashes up the guy's GF is because he's fighting another Supe. What Vaught was trying to get was military contracts and already provided policing and super hero contracts to various cities.
Okay, that's reasonable, but by that definition, nothing could ever be "outdated", be it a weapon, a mode of transportation, an agricultural paradigm or a way of information storage.
Maybe except for hunting implements specifically designed for killing mammoth or skinning dodo birds.
The strictest possible definition of "outdated" is virtually useless, because it's -strictly hypothetically- possible that one day our ability to produce flash memory and lasers is impaired so we have to return to using floppy disks or punch cards.
The colloquial meaning of "outdated" generally means that usage of a specific tool was once reasonable and effective, but is no longer practical in the modern world (and/or not-too-distant future) because of the present availability of more efficient replacements.
Real.
