Jellything?Warrior Dragon vs RotatoRTo be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Warrior Dragon. The flipper mechanism is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of torque conversion most of the attacks will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Clint’s lawn chair, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from RioBots literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these machines, to realise that they’re not just violent- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Warrior Dragon truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Faruq’s existential catchphrase “It’s Robot Fightin’ Time,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Mark Beiro’s Battlebots Las Vegas 1999 announcements. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Greg Munson’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. And yes, by the way, i DO have a Will Bales tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
