Baxter would've been a great Arcade esque villian

*PApagreg* · 10-18-2016, 01:51 PM

When re-watching Baxter's Gambit I noticed Baxter had great potential in creating traps and levels similar to the Marvel villain Arcade and I was thinking that this Baxter could've spend the series traping characters whether they be heroes or villains and put them in deadly mazes and maybe stream in it to black markets sites and make a quick buck

I don't know about that--nor much about the Arcade villain, but I do remember that Karai had to use his technology (brilliantly mind you) to set up her own trap (AKA "The Fourfold Trap"). That was a darker, albeit worse, version of "Baxter's Gambit"; and it was ironically the first time in a long time since we had seen the Mousers and it made Stockman relevant again at that point without him even having to be present.

I dunno what you're talking about but there were definitely a lot of episodes with video-game like sequences that would've wonderfully translated to a playable format, Baxter's Gambit being at the top of that list.

Arcade is a character, as he stated

*Powder* · 10-18-2016, 08:09 PM

He didn't directly state that. For all I know 'Marvel villain Arcade' is the name of a video game.

I'm a noob- Marvel, DC, it's all foreign territory to me.

I doubt Marvel would take naming cues from rap groups, also how do I make it more direct I thought when I say Marvel villain I would be talking about a villain from Marvel

*Powder* · 10-18-2016, 09:37 PM

Rap groups? Huh?

There is a rap group called "A Tribe Called Quest"

*Powder* · 10-18-2016, 09:50 PM

I don't get it.

Figured you'd at least have heard of the legendarily terrible video game Spider-Man/X-Men: Arcade's Revenge" (so I guess it's PART of a video game name) but honestly I didn't think Greg's sintax would've been confusing.

You thought "Marvel villian Arcade" was a title to a videogame and the joke is that its a similar naming to the rap group "A tribe called Quest"

Nah man, I can honestly say I haven't.

I don't get it.

*Cure* · 10-19-2016, 01:41 AM

It's a poor joke but just think of it as A Tribe Called: Quest and Marvel Villain: Arcade. Because Arcade is a Marvel villain.

@Powder

Don't feel too bad man, I am more into DC but my Marvel knowledge is good enough too. And Arcade isn't someone who is showcased enough to be worth mentioning.

Baxter basically did just that with his Maze of DOOOOM!!!
