Critical Miss: Garrus: Badass Burnout

[FFHAuthor]

Where could it go? Well, there are many options, of course, if we're looking at badass to rival Shepard...there is only ONE option;

you can fight like a krogan,run like a leopard but you'll never be better than commander shepard

so as always "companion"

I always saw Garrus as being more like The Punisher...He straight-up murders dudes after all, taking out the seedy underbelly of Omega. Batman just arrests criminals, he doesn't shot them in their face.

Isn't it obvious?

Mmm... while you are correct in your scale of badassery I believe we're using crime fighters. Here is my prediction:

There is but only one way left to go then beyond Batman

Chuck Norris is a not that great actor who got egotistical and made a lame TV show. Where's the love for Bruce Lee? Or Audie Murphy?

Hence the inherent irony of all Chuck Norris jokes. That you seem to be missing.

Heh. I think you guys just earned yourselves a huge heap of love from the escapist community.

Personally, I never quite understood all the Garrus worship. I mean, don't get me wrong, I do like him. He's fairly well characterized and fun to have around, but he never quite stepped into awesome territory. At least not for me.

Same with Tali, come to think of it.

...

I should probably go into hiding now.

Burn him! burn the heretic! But seriously, I agree on Tali, Tali is a little girl and frankly I don't get why people want to get under her suit. I always preferred to go after the actual, full grown women (If Miranda's not back I'll be pretty disappointed) and treat Tali like a little sister. As for the people's love of Garrus? You can't not like Garrus. He's a bad-ass with a heart of gold.

Add to that he's pretty competent. He and Shepard are basically equals and you can rely on Garrus's loyalty and ability to get the job done. It's less a Batman and Robin relationship than say Enkidu and Gilgamesh or Riggs and Murtaugh. If only he'd finish with those calibrations though. I want to see a bit in Mass effect 3 where he announces "The calibrations are finished!" and something annihilates the enemy. As it does it's bloody work, or after it has he turns to Shepard and says "I think I could improve it with a few more calibrations".

Fuck Miranda...she was a *****. HELL she even said damn near out right she was a *****. At the point where she said "I was programmed and made to be better then everyone." I was like, yeah you go be better...sitting on the ship.

Aw, the ice queen wasn't so bad once she melted a little.

... I know this is an old strip, but we finally have our answer;

He Became Garrus Vikarian

 

[Alistar]

In Mass Effect Gaiden, the known universe faces a threat so far beyond the comprehension of hype that the only way they could concieve of beating it is by "merging" Shepard and Garrus into one superbeing Garrushep! Tremble at the thunder of his coming and the lamentation of the enemy's co habiting persons!.

 

[kinapuffar]

Garrus is way better than batman, at least he has the balls to kill people when it's called for.

 

[silverdragon9]

Is anyone else confused by the comic itself saying "Garrus is pretty much Batman" followed by a depiction of a psychopath in a bat suit flat-out murdering people?

That's not Batman. This leads me to believe Garrus isn't either.
