    RUMINATIONS: I honestly cannot remember much of anything about this one. A lot of the works of Maximum Press tend to blend together in their utter blandness, though I think this is the one where I got flack for the "one shoulderpad" thing that I harped on. I recall this being the episode I made just before going to Chicago to film the Alone in the Dark review with Doug and Spoony... uhhh... I recall being happy I could make a "Bees. My God" reference in it since surprisingly there are fewer opportunities to reference it than you might think.
    Aaaand that's pretty much it. A bland comic that I doubt I'll ever revisit in the future.

      To be fair, it's better that way. Who wants to see Ben or Jack in a shitty Liefeld comic? Not even Peter should be caught dead in one and the man's been drinking recklessly and sleeping around to a fault of sexual allegations against him since his sister was murdered so close to losing his father when he debuted the week Raúl Esparza left to do Chess. And even Esparza's departure was shitty. Like if LJN made a video game of a trainwreck, we'd be forced to play as Barba kills that suffering baby.

    There is actually some practicality to having a single shoulder-pad. The sword arm may not have one, so it can move more freely. And the shield arm has a pad because that's the defensive arm. Then again, this concept applies to *swords* battle. Not guns.

    @OtioseFanatic 7 лет назад +7

    In ALL fairness, there is an actual reason in history for only one soulder pad. But not for using guns. Some swordsmen, particularly ones who used one-handed swords and a shield, would often only wear one shoulder pad, on the side of there body they hold their shield with while the arm that holds the sword would not, so as to keep the arm as mobile as possible. You dont see that as much in modern swordplay movies, because it doesnt look as cool and if you use enough cuts and dutch angles, people wont notice that the guy holding the sword cant move for shit. But is IS a real thing.

    Was it ever established that single-shoulder pads wasn't as stupid as Linkara thought? I think I remember hearing that at some point.

    • @LestatandBerial
      @LestatandBerial 9 лет назад +1

      During the top 15 screw ups on AT4W, they do talk about the one shoulder pad, and how for some people who use swords and other close quarter weapons it can work since the shoulder they use most is armored, and leaving the less used arm unarmered reduces weight, but he still thinks if a character uses a gun like this lady its stupid, especially since shes practically wearing a swim suit.

      A single shoulder pad has limited use, but...
      The front of the shoulders is most likely to be struck in melee fights with any kind of long blade, as one of the simplest attacks is a diagonal strike.
      If we assume most people (and aliens / mutants?) are right handed, then wearing a single shoulder pad on the left side should provide good protection with very little loss of mobility(because you are face to face with a melee opponent).
      That is my impression of what the writers intend. I hope they are at least that logical and the real answer isn't "LoL Because"
