I'm also not looking to chase anyone off of this board because of their politics. I want this to be a place where conversations can happen. I might be the site owner, but this place is not founded on my thoughts on politics, religion, etc. I'm not here to thought police anyone. But if you bring up politics, or respond to an offhand comment about politics and try to engage in a debate, anyone can get involved with said debate, myself included. But as such things can become thread derailing, that's why I give thread starters the option to contact me and ask for posts to be moved to the Debate forum or somewhere similar.

Long story short, if I got too heated in my post or made anyone feel uncomfortable, that was not my intent and I apologize. In which case it's probably best to just focus on what Jab's actually building and leave these debates for other sections of the site.

So...who likes comics...??😁 on to a build question though. With Michael Myers would he have some form of recovery/regeneration due to all the gun shots he takes and keeps on keeping on? Or is his ability to soak up the damage off his toughness of 6? Curious minds and all...

Yes of course these events are due to a minority but the unwillingness of the Muslim community to address these very real issues and the immediate accusations of racism towards anyone who does just leads to more division and distrust.
I just want to say this.

There's nothing inherently wrong with portraying a terrorist as being Muslim or Middle Eastern, given how they make up a large percentage of terrorists world-wide, including the West. It's also not wrong to point out that most of said terrorists follow a militant version of Islam. It's much the same way that while it makes people uncomfortable that the black community in America makes up less than 20% of the population but commits over 50% of crime in this country, there are statistics that back it up. Ignoring this does not help things, whereas acknowledging it can potentially lead to solutions to fix the issue.

At the same time, it's not right to say that "hostility towards Muslims" is warranted, in the same way that hostility towards anyone based on their race is warranted. Muslims aren't the problem. Islamists are not the problem. The problem is radical Islamic terrorists, most of whom are Muslim, which make up a microscopic portion of both the Muslim community and the Islamic faith (albeit, radical Islamic controlled states are similar hotbeds of trouble). One cannot blame the majority of Muslims or Islamists for the actions of a small group of their absolutely worst members, anymore than we should blame anyone for the atrocities someone else did simply because they happen to share a skin color, gender or belief system (so long as said belief system is not overtly violent). It'd be like blaming all black people for when the worst parts of BLM set stuff on fire. Ditto for white people and ANTIFA.

We need to be able to acknowledge the realities of a situation (such as what the physical characteristics and religious that permeate a group), but we cannot make broad stroke generalizations about an entire group because a small segment within said group (whom the rest of the group don't like) are a bunch of assholes.
Maybe 'Hostility' was the wrong word to use, your first paragraph sums up the point I was trying to make. Obviously most people do differentiate between the majority and the crazy minority but it still angers many when they see Muslims either trying to justify the actions of those bad apples or outright denying that there's a problem. These problems are not going to end in western nations without the Muslim community first explicitly addressing that they exist and unfortunately so far that doesn't seem to have happened with any mention of extremism or the unacceptable aspects of the culture being shot down as racist or anti-Muslim. Because of this ingrained defensiveness we find ourselves stuck in a holding pattern where no progress can be made which leads to people quite understandably feeling frustrated and even angry at the Muslim community as a whole despite knowing that the majority are not a threat.

I will say that I like how an issue such as this can be talked about in a calm non threatening manner without it exploding into a shit-storm, that's rare and should be treasured. And in honour of that I'll shut up now :)

Going back on topic, hey, Chucky! Yeah, I saw the clip where he threatened Rick Steiner. It was stupid, but man, they actually got both the puppet and Brad Douriff! There's a some dedication for a really stupid angle that went nowhere.

TALL MAN (Jebediah Morningside)- Terrordrome Version
Role:
Magic Guy
Movie Series: Phantasm (??)
Phantasm was a series I'd been kind of interested in, but never got into. I caught what was probably the 3rd film in the franchise when I was a teenager, and the image of those orbs flying around trying to murder people was just chilling. The Tall Man seemed like a solid horror villain tho, and I wonder if the franchise wouldn't benefit from a reboot to make things a bit more coherent. Still, as far as a trippy sci-fi horror franchise goes, this is one I'd like to check out someday in its entirety.

MICHAEL MYERS- Terrordrome Version
Role:
Masked Killer
Movie Series: Halloween

HalloweenJack's Notes:[/b]
-John Carpenter's Halloween is my absolute favorite horror movie, and is a toss up for my favorite movie.
You and my dad have very similar horror film tastes then. Halloween was my dad's favorite horror film growing up, and the first one really is a masterpiece. John Carpenter has given me some of my favorite films, including The Thing and Big Trouble in Little China, so it wasn't a surprise to me how solid this movie was. And it really does work better as a stand-alone without all of the familial nonsense other movies injected into it. It's really just this story about a young girl alone in a house where a monster is trying to get her. No connection, no destiny, just bad luck and the fear of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I'd only ever seen the two reviews Spoony did of this game, one with LordKat before their falling out, but this does actually sound like a decent horror film.

It is mine as well...he was more a force than a person and the fact you did not know WHY made for a more effective scare. Is the boogie man real? Yes,yes he is..great stuff.

Yeah, the "Michael Myers is a force rather than a person" thing is hinted to by the fact that he was originally credited as just "The Shape". He's never actually called that, and it was only in the first movie, though.

I did not mind the second movie but the rest were not needed at all. It would have been fine with the 1st movie ending as is. Just hearing him breathing off camera. Just my opinion.

Exactly, there seems to be very little originality or creativity left in the Horror genre. Now I can forgive the imitations as long as they are done well, but unfortunately that is very rarely the case.

The Thing is my absolute favorite horror movie and probably one of my favorite movies all around.

The %^*&ing Krueger: Jason HATES Freddy. HAAAATES.
Water, Water, everywhere: Jason doesn't have a fear of water....mostly. He goes into the lake quite often...but there is a s ight subconscious fear of it...one that Freddy once used against him in the Dream World. See also HATE.

Innocence: According to Jason actor Kane Hodder (who at four appearances has played Jason more than anyone else) Jason won't harm animals or small children. This is usually backed up in most appearances (Hodder for example refused to kick a character's dog in one movie stating he didn't think Jason would do that). There have been exceptions such as when he tried to be reborn in his niece (though that was mostly out of necessity) and when he tried going after Tommy Jarvis....but hey....who wouldn't want to kill Corey Feldman?
There's a storm brewing: Just thought I'd throw it in here, but for the most part whenever Jason shows up there tends to be storm of some kind.
Weakness (Predictability)- These guys cannot simply "spam" out the same attack over and over again, as the opponent will expect the attacks, and be ready for them (and a counterattack). The third time he tries the same technique (or same combo of techniques) in a short span, they will be at -2 to Accuracy, AND to their Active Defenses in that round. All will decrease by 2 every successive round the same move is done.

HalloweenJack's Notes:
Pretty much the iconic slasher as far as the genre goes. Even people who don't watch slasher movies know exactly who Jason is. The hockey mask has become so iconic that when I was a kid we referred to it as 'Jason' mask. It may also be worth noting that Jason was based on the campfire tale of Cropsy which anybody whoever went to camp in New England should know about.

Jason was born on Friday, June 13th 1946 (just a few days before my dad. ha.) to Pamela and Elias Voorhees. Pamela doted on her special, special boy. Special being the operative word. Jason is what they used to call a mongoloid; extreme facial deformities and a mentally retarded intelligence. Pamela was a cook at Camp Crystal Lake where Jason attended to try and attain some semblance of a normal life. Unfortunately Jason was picked on very badly (it was 1957 after all) and may have been knocked into the lake by some other campers (as seen in Freddy vs Jason) and drown. The counselors that should have been watching him were too busy having sex to come to his aid.

All of this set Pamela off as one would imagine it would and she covertly killed the counselors in question the next summer. The camp was closed down and every time it was attempted to be reopened, Pamela would sabotage it. That is until 1978 when after cutting down most of the staff, a counselor managed to behead her.

The next day the counselor in question commented on being attacked afterwards by a boy in the lake. Pamela's head was never found. The old timers in town often said that Jason's vengeful spirit haunted the area after that day

And he did. Going from a boy to a large powerful deformed man (one might blame this and the preternatural power he seemed to possess on a copy of Evil Dead's Necronomicon being found in the Voorhees house in Jason Goes To Hell) and eventually donning his signature mask, Jason hacked and slashed his way through several more 'adventures' and as far as anyone knows he's still roaming the woods around Camp Crystal Lake.

Jason's 'living' form is a pretty tough cookie. Inhumanly strong (he once killed a man by crushing his temples until his eye popped out) and surprisingly fast (early Jason actually runs) he's built for taking down virtually anyone that trespasses in his territory. Beyond that he's incredibly hard to keep down. Later movies would basically state that his body regenerated most trauma, but he still felt pain and occasionally shied away from attacks in actual fear. Despite his mental deficiency he's got a low form of cunning, and if you go by the remake actually pretty handy with a bow and is known to set bear traps all around the camp area. And anything is a weapon in his hands, but he prefers his trusty machete.

'Undead' Jason, which started going around Part 6 with a nice bolt of lightning, is even more physically powerful capable of tearing off limbs, punching through bodies, and even knocking off heads with singular blows. He doesn't seem to feel pain anymore either and things like gunshots are trivial attacks at best (example a handgun gives him little pause, a shotgun may knock him down but doesn't keep him there, and even machine guns only drop him momentarily). He isn't quite as fast but is still surprisingly spry at times.

And even if you destroy his body, his heart/spirit will just find another host (though the bodies tend to break down quickly) and can be reborn through a relative in his bloodline.

And I won't even get on that time in the far future.......

Jab's Notes: I've seen more of these than any other Horror/Slasher flick, because they're relatively simple, unpretentious movies... that frequently show boobs (WHAT? I was a teenage boy, dammit!). Though the first one was rather infamous to my friend and I (a "Jason" movie... WITHOUT JASON?), I remember watching the one where Freddy's hand comes out at the end (teasing a Crossover that was never made... until a decade or two later) and thinking it was pretty awesome. That chick going all Genre Savvy by showering in order to lure Jason to her was pretty clever. Him turning undead and then having some living heart or whatever was great schlock. Note that to everyone I knew, these were the Jason movies, as the Nightmare films were always identified as Freddie I, Freddie III, etc.

I Hope we are going to see your rendition of Jason in 2455, especially after the nanotech rebuilds him! :P

Jason is a classic, though of course it always catches people off-guard that Jason wasn't the killer in the first movie. (It's even used in Scream, where Ghostface asks the opening kill who the killer in Friday the 13th is, and of course they give the wrong answer.)
