am just speaking out of my ass, or does looking out the window in a dull funk sound like the perfect period of time to start writing The Great 'Merican Novel?
:smack:
I consider them cyborgs because they do have electronic parts running through them. It’s never fully explained, but those things’ higher brain functions seem to have been scooped out and replaced with a pilot.
But then, a lot is left to guessing.
I havn’t seen it in a while, but I don’t remember the pilots being inserted into their heads. :eek:
Yes. Your OP gives me some doubts about that.
As if. The guy in the OP was a complete dolt. Everybody knows the Spear of Destiny is only +3 and has a normal crit range. I’d rather have my trusty vorpal keen flaming long sword +5 any day.
I was wheel scrolling and actually read this post first:
So the phrase “am just speaking out of my ass” is now a permanent part of my online vocabulary.
:smack: It’s too late now, but: “Am I just speaking out of my ass?”
Before anyone says it, the answer is “Maybe.”
Why, I don’t get it?
There are many stories about the supposed spear that supposedly stabbed Christ while he was hanging out. The spear is usually given some sort of mystical ablilities. One rather well known version of the story is Parsifal, an opera written by Richard Wagner. Of course Wagner shared a hatred of Jews with Hitler…
I think Wagner got the “lance that bleeds” out of “Percival, the Story of the Grail”, by Medieval French poet Chrétien de Troyes.
And Scott_Plaid, I’m certain the pilots are going into their heads, because the entry plug is inserted into the upper neck while the creature is leaning over. There’s nowhere for the plug to fit in the neck, and it’s too high to be the chest. Since the pilot replaces the Eva’s higher brain functions (but not its animal instincts), I suspect the Eva’s upper brain has been removed.
So that’s two works of art mentioned in one post, more than 800 years apart, where the Spear of Longinus has been a plot point.
It might make awful history, but the Spear of Longinus clearly makes for damn good pop culture
