Mine is not a direct disagreement, rather i'm saying that they were irreconcilable (though that means they should have either changed the mechanic or changed the story). I'm saying it was impossible to have Authorization make sense *and* demonstrate the usefulness of the suits (or the grapple beam for that matter), so that he mangled the story a bit in order to justify the continued existence of those items Which does demonstrate his poor skills as a writer. The paralells to George Lucas are unnerving, actually, given that his previous work with oversight, has been excellent, but when given total control, not so much. |
Yes! You have hit on the heart of it. The system or the story needed to change. I would have been willing to believe almost anything else more than this; a space pirate virus has infected her suit (or hell, maybe MB did it), shutting down necessary systems, and Adam has to use his heretofore-unmentioned coding knowledge to unlock certain functions in the nick of time!
See, that's contrived and I came up with it in a quarter of a second, but it would have worked. I wouldn't have bitched at all!
