any characters youve had enough of???
 
im just wondering if there are any more out there like myself? you know, people who have had enough of some characters getting way, way too much attention. the first character i think of, was one of my favorite joes until i read the comics and some dios. that would be snake eyes. he was the best character in the joes for awhile, then they did the overkill and now i hate to see him on anything. when/if i do my dio, im letting him get beat up by every green shirt and tele-viper coming and going. i feel the same way about duke, hate the guy with a passion, although not nearly as much as i use to and nowhere near as much as i hate falcon. i hated him in the cartoon and the comic, now the way he is overused in some dios im starting to hate him even more. the same for barrel roll. i dont own a barrel roll or falcon, but i want both so i can put them with snake eyes and duke and have them all get beat up by a single dreadnok, maybe zarana. instead of seeing them so much in comics and dios, id much rather see bazooka, dusty or sci-fi. just wondering which chatacters do any of you feel the same way about?

Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Duke, Scarlett, Stalker....give 'em a rest and let someone else have a go! :rolleyes:

Snake eyes and Storm Shadow for sure! Beachhead somewhat! Flint, Lady Jaye. I'd like to see more Airtight, Salvo, Muskrat, Footloose and spearhead. But the be-all end-all over glamourized character that needs to sit out a few issues;

Duke!

God, I think Hasbro must be Nazi's! Over a lot of cooler, more detailed and colorful characters, they choose the blond haired, blue eyed, master aryan poster boy duke to be their cornerstone character! BLAH! He's soooo bland! HE's worse than mashed potatos! He bores the living hell outta me! Hawk is boring, too, but they keep his exposure to a minimum!


'nuff said!

With the nice lull that Hasbro's given us w/ 3.75", I'm pretty open to anybody. HOWEVER, if Hasbro punks the 25th line and does 2 SEs and 2 CCs, then you know who'll I immediately say. Yup. No more Raptor and Crystal Balls!!!

i actually liked raptor... crystal ball wasnt a fun character but i wish i had his figure. the comic made raptor look as stupid as could be, and i guess as a grown up, if i should call myself that, i see that they both were really stupid characters. but then again so was windmill and the stupid eco warriors and the dumb as hell space aliens. actually if your looking at it in reality, storm shadow is probably the dumbest character. he wears white and never uses a gun...nuff said.

Honestly now... spite will never be appreciated in dios.
I remember a few years back someone did a dio-story where he just killed Snake-Eyes unceremoniously. Everyone I spoke to said "All right! Dead Snake-Eyes!", but when I asked "Yes, dead Snake-Eyes. But was the story any good?" and everyone pretty much agreed that no, it wasn't.
You don't like Snake-Eyes or Duke? Fine, don't use him in your dio. But don't just kill him off out of spite, that'll just hurt your story and make it less enjoyable.

not really. just because one character gets killed off doesnt mean the story will be any less. just kill them in a good way and dont have the whole story around him. and i wouldnt kill him off, that would deprive me from futher humiliating him later on. and in all honesty, although i hope that everyone enjoys my dios as much as i do gen joes and others, if you do a dio for everyone else, then how can you really enjoy doing it, it becomes more like a job. i do it because i am now to old to play the way i used to, so dios are the new way to play. i do what is fun for me, and hope that some others enjoy it. it doesnt mater to me if 500 hate it and only 5 love it. the 5 who love it are the ones who see things the way i do, so their the ones whos input i would want. i mean if someone who made a dio where the entire joe team was captured by cobra and snake eyes went and saved them by killing every single cobra down to the last man all by him self, i could care less what he thought of my dio, because i sure as smurf wouldnt want to do anything he would like.

Are you sure you're old? The way you're talking about using Snake-Eyes in your dios just to humiliate him makes you sound immature.
This is the cool thing about dios, you're not being forced by Hasbro to put emphasis on Snake-Eyes or on Ninja Force or on Duke, so they can be nonexistant in your Joeverse.
Why hurt the potential quality of your work by doing such immature things as "hey look here's Snake-Eyes haha a Viper kicked him in the groin lolz!" when it'll just hurt your credibility as a dio-story artist?
