I don't know, I heard from some guy at a tavern that in a distant continent, some guy actually got to interact with an attractive woman.
Not sure that I could trust him, he was wearing a hood and speaking parseltongue.

I heard you get an achievement or a trophy or a medal for it.

Who told you that?

First, necroing year long threads should be punishable by law. Then, if you are going to necro a thread, it has to be a waifu thread, because locking the romance threads was too subtle a hint. This thread was always going to be derailed because Miranda is "terrorist", and "arrogant" and doesn't worship Shepard like the other waifus. But to each his own.

Second, all the "I'd burn you all" vs "you heartless monster" d*ck measuring is a waste of time, just like religion debates. Both sides are perfectly fine with dealing in absolutes and then blaming the other side of doing the exact same thing.

Third, gotta love Davey. Your avatar is comically fitting, seeing that you know about as much about human behavior and thought processes as EDI. People don't keep telling themselves the same thing over and over again because they don't believe in it. That's not how humans or denial work.

And lastly, Miranda was overdone, especially with the "booty shots". She still looks good but Yvonne is much better looking.

Try harder, troll.

Because posting a critical opinion means he's trolling. I can't say he's not right.

I don't suppose any of you (especially you Massively) have ever been able to come with up with a hilarious rip-off  spoof of somebody else's scene and make Miranda the central focal point of that scene spoof?

Here's one for Jack:

TheMyron wrote...

Recruiting Jack from Purgatory, and assuming Warden Kuril was more... diplomatic;

Kuril: Follow. But! Follow only if your are people of valor! For this cryo-cell is occupied by a Biotic so foul, so cruel, that nobody yet has fought with it... and lived!

*Later... Once Jack's tube is exposed...

Kuril: There it is!

Shepard: Where?

Kuril: There!

Shepard: What? Behind the girl?

Kuril: The Biotic IS the girl!

Shepard: You silly Turian, you got us all worked up!

Kuril: Well, that is no ordinary Biotic, that's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered chick you ever set eyes on!

Kasumi: You ass! I soiled my suit, I was so scared!

Kuril: Look, that girl's got a vicious streak a mile wide! She's a killer!

Miranda: Get stuffed!

Kuril: I'm warning you!

Miranda: What has she done? Bite your ****?

Kuril: She puts out these huge shockwaves...er... She can Charge about.... look at the mech parts!

Miranda: Go on Jacob, grab her by the neck and bring her here!

Jacob: Right. One cute chick comin' right up!

Kuril: Look!           *Jacob gets vaporized in Biotic Explosion...

Shepard: Jeez Louis!

Kasumi: I did it again!

[Rasofe]

Well, not central per se. But the one I did on the Spanish Inquisition that you previously didn't get, she was definately in it as the confused lady.
Also that spoof you made didn't have Miranda in the central role originally, you just substituted that in now.

 Why does this thread remind me of this so much?

[Rasofe]

I'd just like to point out that it's not easy to find a Monty Python sketch where a woman is the central character. Besides the ones where Eric Idle is in drag, that is, and then the joke is that it's Eric Idle in drag + something funny and ironic. Wouldn't work if it was a real woman playing the part.

[hot_heart]

Four Yorkshiremen except it's four characters discussing daddy issues, trying to top one another. Miranda wins.

[Rasofe]

Oh yeah. I guess if we substitute the entire joke it works.
Tali, Miranda, Garrus, Liara, Jacob, Kolyat, Vega, Morinth, Wrex, Grunt... the list is pretty big.
You'd think the chief antagonist of the Mass Effect trilogy were parents, not Reapers. He-He.

Uh, no, Miranda isn't the central at all, she's just one of the characters.

And the spoof doesn't have to be from Monty Python.

EDIT: plus Jack is substituting the Killer Rabbit.

EDIT EDIT: You have to admit, Tim the Enchanters' description of the bunny really does seem to fit on Jack, at least in the beginning.

Not all critical opinions are trolling, but all trolling stems from critical opinions. The difference is whether or not the statement is meant to add to the conversation, or derail it. A legitimate critical statement goes something like this:"I disagree because x, and here's what I think because y." Whereas trolling makes things personal; "I disagree, and you're stupid for having the opinion that you do." 

Other troll flags in his post: soliciting a rise from everyone in the thread, disagreeing without providing alternatives, oversimplifying opposing stances¹, bringing up unrelated subjects², and attacking players personally³.

What is exactly is the problem with necro-posting? Does it hurt someone?

Besides being against the forum rules, necros spread misinformation. What was true last year may very well have changed now. It's also a way of starting long dead arguments for no reason.

Seems more like he's making an observation than trolling, and its not the least bit because he's probably annoyed that an old thread was resurrected and is being used as a battle ground for opposing ideologies, with exactly the same kind of responses that he's predicting. Granted, I'm not making a habit of attacking people personally here, while others have towards me. You're misreading his intent to call out the dick-waiving (which I admit was taking place) as arrogance to say that people are just being stupid for the sake of it. This isn't trolling.

As for David, at the risk of making a genetic fallacy, I'm going to say you haven't dealt with him very much. He's not very well regarded around here, not least because he thinks he's an expert on just about every fact of storytelling without realizing that it is not a uniform concept, with many, many different ways to tell a story, and many ways to execute it. That can be forgiven if not for his terrible propensity for arrogance and propensity to mock users on here because he doesn't like their ideas. I'd say David really hasn't earned any respect in his belligerent and forceful and steadfast devotion to his own ideals and his belief in the inherent infallibility of all of his positions.

What was true about Kai Leng last year is still true today...

Jack and Miranda are both hot, you just have to stare at opposite locations.

EDIT: Its too bad Miranda is barren, as I have heard some say that she has the most, I think "suitable" was the word they used, body of all the MEU female characters.

I don't find Jack attractive from a physical or intellectual level at all. Miranda on the other hand pushes all the right buttons for me.

As for her infertility, I really don't think it's going to be a problem to reverse. Seeing as the cause of her infertility is curable with modern medicine today, it's really not hard to imagine that she will be able to cure herself. Also, she did bring a person back from death. Do you really think she can't create a cure for herself given time and resources? 

The writer really didn't do his research on a condition that is reversable today, nor did he remember that it is Miranda who he is dealing with. She'll find a way to fix the problem. She did it for death, what's to stop her from doing it with infertility.
