Godzilla vs. Kong Official Trailer
 
so Gee is a fucking bad guy now but we gotta know why’d he turned from saviour from two diferrent occassions to killing everyone.

|| Everything is falling into place…||

@Count Adramélekh Sear
 
Well, it fits with the previous Godzillas…
 
But if I had to take a few guesses: G is pissed that humanity has sided with Kong, Kong is another Alpha so much like with King Ghidorah G really wants to kill the pretender to his throne, or that’s really Mecha-Godzilla.

@Count Adramélekh Sear  
We couldn’t get Conor vs Khabib the second time so Dana White had to get creative.

@tehwatever  
lel THIS. By a margin.

Just gonna leave this here.  

Do Bullet weapons exist in the Star Wars universe?
 
I mean since we have sci-fi franchises like Halo where Plasma and Bullet weaponry co-exist it seems weird how Star Wars doesn’t have a similar thing going.

@CaptainXtra  
Why would you want bulletproof anything in a setting that uses primarily laser blasts instead of ballistic ammunition?
 
As far as I know, no ballistic weapons exists in the Star Wars universe. See IceyWicey’s post below.

@CaptainXtra  
Yes, regular ballistic lead based weapons do exist in the Star Wars universe. “Lead Slingers” i think is what they are called.
 
I think one of the Mandalorian’s from the old EU explained why some people use them instead of blasters.  
If you fired a blaster bolt at a jedi, their lightsabre would just reflect it.  
If you shot a bullet at a Jedi, they would instinctively go to block it with the lightsabre… only for the bullet to melt and then the Jedi would now be in pain because they just got molten hot metal on their body.

@icey wicey 1517
 
Slugthrower.

@Zincy  
Ah thanks i forgot what the term was.

@icey wicey 1517
 
There’s some really cool designs for them from the Legends EU.
 
The Hutt Cartels manufactured a lot of them to screw with the Jedi.
 
Because Jedi are too mamby pamby to do what needs to be done and just force lighting/choke their way through their enemies.

@CaptainXtra
 
“Slugthrowers” has popped up a few rare times in Star Wars, yes.
 
Mostly to explain their absence and to provide a Jedi hard-counter without resorting to another uber, lore-breaking badass. That explanation basically amounting to logistics; blaster “batteries” provide more shots per clip and are lighter than the bulkier bullet counterpart, and as Icey said to provide a subversion of the “Jedi deflects your shots back at you” trope.

Also from what i remember blaster bolts hurt a lot, but they also cauterize the wound too and the damage is mostly just on the outside.
 
With slugthowers, they do not cauterize the wound. So not only do you have to deal with being shot, you also have to deal wiht the fact that you have an open wound, you’re bleeding, and you are also possible facing a lot of messy internal damage too.

So who you wanna see write Warhammer 40,000 comics at Marvel?

@Background Pony #2FE1
 
Who ever it is will do better than those currently running the lore at GW.

@Zincy  
GW?

God dame, RE8 got everybody thirsting over tall vampire Milf lady…also I’m thirsting over her too.

Vampires and werewolves should not be in Resident Evil.

@Dustcan  
What? And normal animals but big should be?

@Angrybrony
 
No. Normal animals but dead and normal bugs but big should be.

@Background Pony #2FE1
 
Gamesworkshop, the guys who make Warhammer Fantasy and 40k

@Dustcan  
Well this is from an outsider perspective of someone who’s never played any RE but moving to Vampires and Werewolves makes a kinda sense.  
Like some people might think it’s about zombies cause that’s what was first but it seems like it’s more about monsters made out of whatever someone is fucking around with so moving over to a different kind of iconic monsters I can kinda see.
