Bloody Mary as ultimate villain was very anti-climatic

  • Silver bullets are a werewolves main weakness. The only other way to permanently kill Bigby would be decapitation or burning him to ashes.

    Obviously she's smarter than the Tweedles. Are there bullets made out of silver for real? It would seem like a waste of a valuable resource?

  • Ah, okay. Seeing as I didn't edit my OP, keep sending me messages. I obviously didn't look over the other four that I got.

    Could of made it I'm pretty sure the Tweedles DID use Silver Bullets, if you listen to Swineheart. That's why he had to get all of the sharpnel out of you. EDIT: I see they didn't, I was wrong.

  • I've heard that Bigby has been frozen and smashed to pieces in the comics. If that's true, wouldn't that make him resistant to decapitation too?

  • We don't know she's the ultimate villain, there is still the Crooked man. It sounds he's the brains and she's the brawn. I guess you have a problem with her being a woman but she is as dangerous as anyone, and more than most .

  • Bigby is turned to glass and shattered, which does kill him. As of the most recent issue he's back as some sort of zombie.

    I agree that BM is a horrible antagonist and that way too much emphasis is placed on her just because she thought to load a gun with a silver bullet. I seriously doubt she'll be the "ultimate villain", though. That would make no sense.

    What would the name of their silver bullet company be called?

  • How the heck is she anti-climactic? She seemed very intimidating to me in her confrontation.

    I didn't really care for that part you're talking about. It's the part where Bloody Mary is still glamoured, but she's brawling with Bigby like she's his equal in strength. I think Bigby could easily subdue her in her glamoured form. However, if you pay close attention to the rest of the trailer, you can see that she takes on her true form, which is probably a lot more dangerous. So, if that's the route they're going, that doesn't bother me. I'm not so sure she's going to be the final battle anyways. There could be a villain we haven't seen yet, some sort of fighter for the Crooked Man. Regardless, the series has been great so far, even if you take out all the Bloody Mary stuff. I think it's been captivating and I can't wait for the finale. I think you may be focusing a little too much on that one aspect of the series and the trailer. Just my opinion.

    I hope you're right. But it's hard to imagine that we won't see Bloody Mary physically manhandling the Big Bad Wolf, when they've shown the first few seconds of that encounter.

  • Some people don't notice the other posts before they post their response. It's not that big of a deal. It happens all the time on forums. It's called getting ninja'd (when you post the same thing as someone else at the same time or without noticing). It's no biggy. Or should I say, it's no bigby? ;-) (okay, I'm officially a dork now)

    JESUS, I get it. I don't need five people to explain to me why I'm wrong.

  • I agree. She creeped the bejeezus out of me in that trailer. Though in one of the OP's post they said that they didn't like the beginning of the fight where Bigby is getting owned by her in her glamoured form. I kind of agree with that. I think he could take her on very easily when she's glamoured. However, when she turns into that thing in your post, Bigby better watch his back. Yikes!

    She's not just "some chick with a silver bullet." She's a murderous, psychotic Fable with an inherent resistance to magic and the ability to teleport through any reflective surface. How is that anti-climatic? Just look at this crazy bitch-->

  • In that case she was even stupider for giving the game away. Was I the only one who saw Bigby effortlessly dodge a shot from the Crooked Man's pistol in the trailer? Does anyone want to take any guesses as to why he does that? Maybe he feels particularly stylish in that scene, or maybe he just figures that there must be silver bullets in that gun and steps out of the way, making it clear that they're no threat to him just because the psycho midget with delusions of grandeur got a lucky shot in.

    The Crooked Man fired a warning shot. Bigby did not dodge that bullet.

  • That's an even worse idea, and in that case Bigby is not only not intimidated, he'll be too close for CM to get off another -real- shot. Personally, I think it looks like Bigby steps out of the way just as CM fires, but without slowing his approach, which counts as dodging for me. We'll just have to see.

  • Well bigby isn't a werewolf he just happen to be able to turn human when he enter our world, so hes not really a werewolf. I think that seeing as hes not really one no one would wast money getting silver bullets to use on him. Even she was surprise that it really worked on him.

  • Fables get their strength from the power of the stories and an urban legend that's still told to this day would be very powerful, so I had no trouble believing she's strong enough to tangle with Bigby.

  • anti-climactic my ass that shit was awesome.

  • He had a spell put on him to make him be effected by silver bullets or something according to the....fables comics I think. And he could already turn into a human, going to the human world didn't give anyone that power or glamours wouldn't be needed.

    I realize it's not real life where girls are much weaker, but it still didn't seem believable. Humpty Dumpty is still spoken about to this day, but nobody would call him powerful.

  • I'm certainly with you on the quality of the rest of the game. I haven't seen a developer get the Adventure game mechanics so right before (I've heard The Walking Dead is similar, but I haven't played it yet).

  • It's because Bigby was infected with Lycanthropy after Snow invited him to Fabletown. He couldn't turn human then but Snow stabbed him with a knife stained with Lycanthrope blood, which gave him the ability to warp back and forth between human and wolf. That's why he's affected by silver bullets, it's a byproduct of the blood.

    So Bigby is TECHNICALLY a werewolf.

    Well, more like a heavily mutated Wolfwere. He wasn't exactly a natural wolf in the first place, much as that's what he identifies himself as.
