so we are the bad guys...

[athomas]

I always tend to look at things in an optimistic light and I see it this way. The poor boys can win using talent and inferior weapons over the not so talented rich kids using vastly superior weapons. In the end, people still want the vastly superior weapons.

Compare it to cars. In the movies, the bad guys (usually crooks and drug dealers) are driving Porsche and Ferrari. The good guys show up in an old jalopy that has smoke pooring out of the tailpipe. There is a high speed dual. The good guys usually win despite being outpowered by a superior car. Do people still want to go out and buy an old jalopy. No, they still aspire to buy a Porsche or a Ferrari.

In movies or television, any exposure is good, especially if it is associated with power.

thanks for that,
You turned me around on my thoughts, you are absolutely correct with the "ole jalopy"

good views!!!!

Well guess what, everyone gets what they want! The rich kids use the Xtreme but the poor kids use Minimags! So you will see us on both sides of the fence. The Oracle is used by the old pro player who coaches the poor kids.

well hot diggity dang!!!
I didnt know that the rag tagers were using minimags also, thats a really good spotlighting on agd... Now I am more than happy!

[Blazingace]

If that is true then that would put the poor kids right in there, gun wise, with most of the rich kids. I know first hand what a Minimag can do. Lovin' it yeah! My girlfriend is gonna kill me when I take her to go see this movie like 20 times.

[athomas]

Mags all the way around. Now that's marketing.

Speaking of cliched plots and the Karate Kid films, (and Shartley may have meant for people to draw this conclusion anyway, by suggesting the analogy) do you notice that the plot of "in Your Face" is a direct rip off the Karate Kid films, right down to the wise old teacher coaching the poor kids, to play a tournament against the rich kids.

Frankly, though, I am not complaining. Just because a plot device has been used, does not mean it does not work. It's all about the execution.
