Line 39:
* On the subject of Gil: His [[Super Prototype]] to the extreme bugs me; he doesn't just have a collection of Babylonian weapons that could be considered precursors and archetypes; he apparently has (thanks, it seems, to a dose of [[Hollywood History]]) stuff he shouldn't (such as European broadswords, Chinese halberds, and, oh yeah, [[Rule of Cool|full plate]]). He's probably got Davy Crockett's rifle in there and William Tell's crossbow. Even with stuff like swords, over the past few thousand years [[Technology Marches On]]. ''Yes, I know that in the Nasuverse older '''explicitly''' = more powerful.'' But it's kind of like expecting a Wright Flyer to be better at everything than, say, ''The Spirit of St. Louis.'' Most of the time when folks use something for a model, they at least ''attempt'' to improve on them; apparently in the Nasuverse they don't succeed.
** In the nasuverse, magical things become stronger because they keep getting away more and more from normality. So the older things are, the more powerful and magical they tend to be. Which is why, no matter how much you try to improve something, it won't reach the level of the older stuff, and since this is one of the most basic rule of the universe, it is probably very difficult to bend it. It's more like saying that a runner will be first because he went first.
** They succeed sometimes. Funny you should bring up airplanes. Gil actually ''does'' have a [
*** A ''magic'' F-15. Incidentally, Gil doesn't have ''every'' weapon in the world. He just has weapons that existed in his time. This is why he doesn't have Excalibur, since Excalibur was constructed by Earth's fairies after his death. Incidentally, the [[Nasuverse]] is an [[Alternate Universe]]. Gil at one point states that (paraphrased) "the appearance is different, but the basic principles remain the same", indicating that Babylon was apparently ''just as advanced'', if in a different fashion, as the modern age.
**** I believe he actually has the prototype for excalibur. I think it was gram, a sword that was stuck in a tree or something like that.
