Re: Star Power 7: Bad Luck for the Starstruck!
OOOOH! Now I get it! They exploited the apparent fact that danica cant use ranged weaponry if her opponents pull out blades! Thats pretty clever considering I didnt even realize that was a rule until now!

Panel 3 is in fact one of their knives being cut clean in half by the sword. So not a special material I guess.

Re: Star Power 7: Bad Luck for the Starstruck!
I think the basic plan is that her defense is a shield, and it's easier to surround her from all sides with close range weapons to avoid shooting each other.

Re: Star Power 7: Bad Luck for the Starstruck!
In moments like this is hard to remember Danica is an astronomer with no basic hand-to-hand combat training and who shouldn't be able to fight professional killers the way she does.
At the same time, I have problems measuring her power level. If you are strong enough to crush spaceships how much trouble should be to dispatch a hit team?""Jeez, this dress! i look like a dominatrix""

Re: Star Power 7: Bad Luck for the Starstruck!
Well, one of them was kind enough to try to kick her in the back of the head instead of, say, stabbing her, so I don't know if they're 'killers' per se..
Mookieisms/superhero genre conventions aside, she absolutely could just dispatch them. She might not be able to do so without risking unacceptable collateral damage to the people she's trying to save/room/building/planet; there's a fairly large discrepancy in the amount of power and finesse applied between 'blow up a spaceship' and 'kill/disable a handful of human-sized mobile targets.' Doing one does not necessarily imply being able to do the other.

Re: Star Power 7: Bad Luck for the Starstruck!
I think Danica just doesn't like killing. Collateral damage probably also is a problem, and I wonder if there could be some of that even just with melee. If she kicks really hard, can she stop spinning without damaging herself or everything around her?

That moment when you are surronded by armed cultists, and one of your companions fails her sanity check.
Dammit Grex, if you are going Rambo, could at least remember basic weapon training, like holding your uzi with both hands or looking for cover?Last edited by faustin; 2019-11-13 at 09:30 AM.

Re: Star Power 7: Bad Luck for the Starstruck!
Okay, so we dont get to see how the battle ended up? I assume it was, "She is a star power, they are knife wielding goons. How do you THINK that ended?" But then, where is everyone else? Or did detecto guy, crime lord, and punching bag make their escape while grex and danica fight the kill squad?

Re: Star Power 7: Bad Luck for the Starstruck!
I'm guessing they are just in the next room, or a few doors beyond the fight.
So we'll get back to the fight with Danica soon enough (shouldn't take long if she doesn't have anyone to protect)
And you don't have to know anything about snipers to know that you can't just detect them without any tool or at least enough time.
It was just a lazy way to bring the punchline.
Edit:
Update
When I said "shouldn't take long" that's not quite what I meant, but oh well.Last edited by random11; 2019-11-20 at 12:07 AM.

Re: Star Power 7: Bad Luck for the Starstruck!
Well, that drama with Grex was over easily. Glad we spent all of two pages on it.

Yeah that was.... that was something. Not much, but something. "No! Dont kill the mass murdering professional assassins! Let the corrupt court system full of bought and paid for cops judges and prosecutors handle it!"

Re: Star Power 7: Bad Luck for the Starstruck!
In all seriousness, the difference comes between self defense and murder. Danica was blowing up ships coming to kill her and everyone on the space station, what grex was about to do was execute a disabled opponent. Yes the end result is the same, massive body count, but the legal and moral outlook is different.

So, did the assassins just...leave? It looks like they only managed to kill one of the targets, and they didn't even hit the father who, I'm assuming, is the primary target. :/Last edited by Celestia; 2019-11-25 at 10:23 AM.

Re: Star Power 7: Bad Luck for the Starstruck!
Wait, so Dr. Brightman wears a revealing dress once with the specific intent of trying to seduce her celebrity crush, and suddenly she's the flashy fashionable one? Wasn't there a line specifically in that story that said she usually never wore stuff like that?

Re: Star Power 7: Bad Luck for the Starstruck!
If I had to guess, I'd say he'll wait long enough for people to forget all about it (that way, it'll be a "shocking twist"). Then, he'll somehow undermine it and make irrelevant, anyways. Either the chick (Beena, I think?) will calm the robot with Talk no Jutsu, Danica will calm the robot with Talk no Jutsu, or something else will be happening that the robot deems "more important," and then by the time that's taken care of, it decides that Danica doesn't need to die after all.

Re: Star Power 7: Bad Luck for the Starstruck!
Nah, way more fun if instead he goes on an important mission with star power, she isnt aware of his protocol, but we are, so we spend the entire time waiting for her to slip up in such a way that his kill command fires up. He is always there in the background, watching, silently waiting, the suspense is killing us! But it never happens, because danica is just, so great. Alternate take, she IS aware, and spends the entire mission stressing out over every decision she makes out of fear that this will be the one to set him off.

Is this still going on? It's been a while, and there are new pages on the strip.

I think it's still going on, but I am not sure if they still are doing just two pages a week.
In the meantime, Mookie is doing the Kickstarter for printing the DD omnibus, which already has succeeded.Originally Posted by J.R.R. Tolkien, 1955
