Would those be the same space ninjas that got their asses handed to them in last weekend's episode by a tiny highschool girl with no apparent battle experience and a pole she picked up from the ground? Yeah, a real bloodbath. :eyebrow:I like mooks because even though they're supposed to go down in one punch they make the characters appear tough by outnumbering them. It's an appearance thing.
The important fights are always one on one, but mooks are a good way to make superheroes look super. We know the mooks are meant to be a joke in terms of their roles, but it helps when they are dangerous to normal people in the setting.
If someone sent the Dustards into the school to kill everyone and Fourze and Meteor aren't around to stop them, they'd have no problem accomplishing that! They're ninjas! SPACE ninjas! It'd be a bloodbath!
But we know Fourze and Meteor are awesome because they can take them out with a single punch.
Besides don't the usual monsters of the week fullfill the same function? Capable of rampaging through the general population but ultimately destroyed by the superhero?
Yeah one thing I never got; what is it with the heisei era shows and cooking? Kuuga works in a cafe, Agito wants to run a restaurant and always cooks for his adopted family, Ryuki lives and helps out in a cafe, Blade makes a restaurant one of their main hangouts, Hibiki is centred around characters who all work in a cafe, Kabuto is obsessed with his cooking skills and hangs out in a restaurant also employing or frequented by the other main characters, Den-O is set in a dining car, Kiva features a cafe/coffee bar as the main hangout and/or second job for the characters, many people in Decade mistake the photography studio for a cafe, and OOO also features main characters who work in a cafe or are obsessed with cake (obligatory HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!). Only Faiz, Double and Fourze aren't obsessed, and Fourze has the foodroids to compensate! Is it just a running gag? One long reference to Black or one of the other Showa shows? Or something else?Now, now. Dude's a dick but dont go hatin on his cooking. That's the one thing I liked about him, regularly preparing what looks to be delicious meals for a sweet little imouto thus starting her day right. I cant hate him for that.
