Spider-Man has.

But not so much a bag of bugs as the skeleton of a nazi scientist covered in bees.

Evolution ended with yet ANOTHER take on Apocalypse and his four horsemen, Batman Beyond had a woman made of living ink and a villain who was just making furries about a decade before they were a popularised thing online.

Just how young are you - furries were "a thing online" well before Batman Beyond, they're the reason Tiny Toon Adventures got cancelled (which lead to Batman the Animated Series getting pitched)

Furries were very much on the ball about rousting neo-nazis out of their community a few years back, so they really redeemed themselves in my eyes.

A huge amount of that was pretty thinly- if at all- veiled homophobia and general hatred of queer people, mind. The early 00s was A Time. SA is basically the only place that cares about furries anymore that hasn't gone full nazi.

I highly doubt most people knew much more about furries beyond they were people who like to dress up as animals and have sex in costumes. That's really all they needed to make fun of them.

fwiw basically everyone involved says that the stalker bit got blown out of proportion. the official line is that WB already had Animaniacs in the works and the response both from the creative teams and test audiences was enough to get Tiny Toons axed so that they could put all their resources towards Animaniacs.

McGuiness also had an amazing way of taking out the joker in the movie in which he reappeared - roasting him to death.

I just love him calling out his lame backstory: "So you fell in a tank of acid, got your skin bleached and decided to become a supervillain. What? Couldn't get a job as a rodeo clown?" I also liked him going full millenial and being all "Joy buzzers? squirting flowers? LAME! Where's the A material? Make a face, drop your pants, SOMETHING!"

That was just a fun sequence in general.

Shields at 70% don't fully protect from the hit any more.

Think of it like being struck in the chest with a sledgehammer. If you're wrapped in huge thick layers of foam rubber you'll feel an impact but it won't really hurt. If the layers come off, though, it will hurt more and more until you get smooshed. Somewhere along the line there is a point where you won't be seriously injured by the hit but it will still hurt and bruise you. That's shields at 70%.

(besides when it's a plot point that the enemy's weapons can bypass their shields)

Because that's generally boring af to portray.

That and spaceship combat, which otherwise has no realistic basis, is styled after naval combat, done with shells, torpedoes and depth charges- where even a miss will mean a big explosion and literally rocking the boat. It's very good visual feedback to establish stakes.

The same thing used to bug me when playing doom, cause I was like "HOW CAN I BE DEAD I STILL HAVE 19% ARMOR" and then realized that it means it stopped as much damage as it could but I still got hosed up. Sorta like having a complete armor set on but taking a shotgun slug to the dome. Yea, I'm still gonna have armor that's perfectly fine, but I'm also gonna have a head that's basically chili at that point.

The way I figure, plasma conduits run power to everything, connected directly from the warp cores to every electrical system on the ship. Plasma conduit are very easily overloaded when stressed and short all over the place cause there's no surge protectors, fuse boxes or breakers or anything.

A panel on the bridge will explode cause there's no overpressure valve anywhere along the system to stop a power surge hitting the operator right in the face.
