This is GHOST RIDER, NOT SPIDER-MAN. Now this next movie looks like they are still going for PG-13 but judging by the action scenes they are going to push the boundaries of the PG 13 rating....that is GOOD.

The original Clash of the Titans and Jason and the Argonauts, they were true pieces of film, which actually followed the story close enough.

Hollywood takes Greek Mythology like this, Dismantle it from having Deep meanings/very complex Hubristic and Animalistic themes/ deep culture references/very descriptive fights(if the story has any)/Gods which play with humans.Lastly women which are shown to be innocent,emotional and all that stuff.Obviously more would be involved but that will give you the gist of a average play/novel.

Then they assemble it to be this Action/ lots of hot women (shown to be fighters & disobey men(Some women would disobey there man, like Clytemnestra and Helen of troy but most woman wouldn't dare to))/More action and explosions(somehow)/Massive men with huge weapons(Some exceptions but overall it was very uncommon)/ Simplistic societies and the funniest is that Gods seem to have lost there actual meanings.

What I mean by this is that lets take Hera for example in many of the Greek plays and novels she is known to be very vengeful and very un-womanly and she hates Gods which interfere with human affairs, and usually has arguments with Zeus because of this. But to Hollywood she is shown to love her fellow Gods, and is apparently likes the idea of Gods helping Humans.

But lets be serious directors have been doing this for ages, not going to change so you might as well just enjoy it, and laugh at how incorrect the stories are.
I think the only time I was wrong about a film was LotR and Oh My God how I was wrong , but Peter Jackson actually had passion for the stories and I very much doubt that Louis Leterrier actually cares about the stories.

Sorry for the poor grammar and spelling very tired I just got off work

* Dark Control, Darkness Assault and Darkness Affinity are officially features of Issue 22 and will be available to all VIPs.
* Beam Rifle, Street Justice, Titan Weapons and Staff Fighting are officially features of the Paragon Market, and must be purchased even by VIPs.
* All Power Set Proliferations were features of their respective Issues and did not require purchase by anyone.

Now, I see where the OP is coming from, saying "Hey now, why are all the melee sets in the Paragon Market?" But it's important to remember that the melee classes have had it kind of sweet in the long run anyway; there are not only more melee/defensive sets than any other variety, but the melee Archetypes have received more "new" sets over the years.

Just in the time since I've been playing (Issue 6) up through Going Rogue, the following Power Sets were added (in chronological order):

* Thugs (not melee; Issue 7)
* Electric Melee (melee; Issue 7)
* Electric Armor (melee; Issue 7)
* Dual Blades (melee; Issue 11)
* Willpower (melee; Issue 11)
* Shield Defense (melee; Issue 13)
* Pain Domination (not melee; Issue 13)

A pattern... Anyone else see it? As far as new Power Sets go, there has been a disproportional favoring of the melee classes, and it seems that the Paragon Market is favoring them as well, albeit behind a cash curtain. They've already had their day in the sun, as far as I'm concerned.

For a while there, I was worried all new Power Sets were going to be Market-only, but they put those fears to rest with the Controller and Dominator Dark sets. I doubt we'll never see another VIP-free melee set, but for now I wouldn't go so far as to say that we need another VIP-free melee set.

Smug look on the Art Team's face when players realize it was due to their complaints? Priceless.
