  • I feel like they could be the main characters in a dozen different movies.

    Buddy cop film where old style cop has to team up with young tech assassin.

    Average man tries to solve a murder while being hunted by a cyborg

    Young group of hackers led by this woman is being hunted by corrupt police as they try to expose the government.

    Like either one of them could be the protagonist or antagonist of any number of movies depending on the genre, or team up for a clash of styles type think.







  • Anything really!

    Also it annoys me because swords and bows are THE most difficult weapons to learn from the medieval ages. We have legends about master bowmen and swordsmen because they were notoriously difficult to use.

    You can look up videos of reenactors of people using spears vs. swords, and people who have never touched a spear in their life can beat people who have been using swords for reenactments for years.

    To use longbows effectively was a life long commitment.

    Crossbows didn’t have more power than longbows, they were popular because it took 20 minutes to teach a strong peasant how to fire, and a few weeks to get them firing at the proper cadence to be effective. Being effective with a bow took far longer.

    So funny story about that, because I decided I hated going to school I went to an “alternate” high school that was also where kids who were kicked out of traditional school went.

    They’d be like “you get this candy bar if you pledge not to do drugs or drink underage!” And some teens would straight up say “nah I’m good” and I just appreciate the honesty of those kids.
