not a very compelling threat.
Yeah thinking about it... What was the overarching threat really? "The hand r evul immortals that wipe out cities" OK... But how? Why? What is their motive, it can;t just be "wreck shit lol" like they already have immortality.
I believe that the reason the city was gonna be wrecked was because they were mining a substance that gives them their immortality, and doing so would cause the city to be destroyed for some reason. It really wasn't very compelling nor did it feel like a real threat. It was collateral damage in their quest to stay immortal.
The impression I got, at least by the end of it, was that the stuff they were mining out, was so spread out throughout the foundation of New York, that the whole city would basically become a giant sink hole. When they first said it, on the rooftop, when Sigourney said it to Electra, I thought they were just going to burn it to the ground like a conquering horde or something.

*shrugs* That's all i've got to make that make any sense really.
