Subway Entrance In Frankfurt🌍

The Dark Eldar commonly use the Ravager to emerge from a Webway portal and wreak havoc on enemy armour, fortifications and personnel. The Ravager was converted from the original transport vessel to a heavy fire support vehicle, and has fortified front and side armour. Ravagers are equipped with three heavy weapons, usually Dark Lances or Disintegrator Cannons. Ravagers may also be equipped with special upgrades, like the Horrorfex, Night Shield, Screaming Jets and Scythes. They are also equipped with sophisticated targeting arrays which display precise information about their enemy. This makes up for what it lacks in armour with speed and firepower.

In battle, Ravagers are nimble and swift, using their maneuverability to destroy more lumbering Human or Ork tanks. Ravager gunships are so fast and maneuverable that they can ambush an enemy tank and destroy it in a single pass, vanishing before the enemy even realizes what hit them. Their capabilities are further improved through their tactics, with Ravager crews being well-trained and well-briefed about their targets capabilities. Their commanders will assign then specific targets in battle, ensuring that the Ravager formation operates as a unified, efficient killing machine. A well-trained and led Ravager squadron is capable if appearing from nowhere and destroying even a Titan of the Adeptus Mechanicus in a single volley and disappearing over the horizon before the behemoth machine has even toppled to the ground.

I'd just take the dog for much needed and hilariously funny walkies around the Nintendo kingdom - run by a princess feuding with a butch roughhousing turtle dragon... You can hear the background music already.

The Humanization of Superman

What Zack Snyder did for the character of Superman is equivocal to the evolution his character went through in the 1980s. Superman had become far too powerful to be of any interest as a character. Through a series of deaths, resurrections, soft reboots, and revitalizations of the character, Superman became weaker and more vulnerable. This forced his characterization to change slightly, as he became more relatable and interesting.

What Zack Snyder did with Man of Steel and Batman vs Superman was add a new layer to this character that contained all of the weight and expectation placed upon Superman, as a character that had to be handled carefully and perfectly, and placed it upon the man. You can hear this very burden in the criticisms of Snyder’s characterization with lines like, “Superman is supposed to smile,” or “ Superman is supposed to be a ‘boy scout’ not gloomy.” The anxiety and introverted personality Snyder gave to the character almost serves as a counter to this. He made Superman carry these expectations and even face them head on in Batman vs Superman. 

One the author and creator of One Punch Man did something similar with his protagonists by realizing that in order to make an all powerful character interesting you have to give them weaknesses that we can relate too, and he does this by making them bad at communication or giving them feelings of loneliness and isolation, as no one is able to be their equal or understand their pain. This leads his characters to often push others away or accept a burden they do not want in pursuit of doing what is right even if they know no one will ever understand or know what they did, but it also allows his character to act unheroic and selfish as they struggle to feel normal.

If future creators were to embrace what Snyder has given to the character of Superman, we might gain a character that can not only be what we all strive to be but also give us a way of delving into the complex nature and burden of expectation and power. Their is a reason “human nature” is always a reference to how we see or interact with the world rather than our physical strength. What makes a character human is their feelings, desires, and relationships, and superhero stories are the perfect chance to delve into these concepts in a significant and interesting way. 

For these amazing movies and a hopeful future for the character, Zack, we thank you.
