Marneus Calgar: Congratulations. You once more managed to succeed, on an impossible mission... WHERE YOU SHOULD'VE DIED! You went straight through a literal hellscape, containing legions upon legions of eldritch abominations, and some of the most elite Chaos Space Marines the enemy would have to offer, that even the greatest of warriors would perish to. BUT NO! You succeeded because you were trained by the BOOK! The holy codex of our Oh-so-wonderful I could SHIT MY POWER PANTS SPIRITUAL LIEGE!
Ultramarine: Yes indeed, my lord! We did it.

"Having overwhelming power is....pretty boring."
Web Original
"(The 1940's) Bugs is the one that made the character become the most popular in history, not because he had 'tude, but because he was actively mischievous and devious. This Bugs actually did things in the cartoons. He didn't win by default. He went out of his way to cause trouble - and did it in a very likeable way. The 'tude Bugs is completely unlikable. He doesn't do anything to win. He just wins because the rules say so. It's like he was born an aristocrat who deserves to win because he's the star character."
"Why should I care about this guy? He feels no pain and nothing can kill him, so therefore he's essentially a story device for action sequences."

"Let the guy be a little fallible. Those are the ones I am interested in watching when I go to the movies. I want to see the flaws, the dirt under the fingernails. If he is invulnerable, how can you identify with this guy? As absurd as it may seem, you have to believe in it, or else the audience won't and they won't get their money's worth."
