You know, watching New Generation back in 85, I thought it was cool to hear about this almost mythical “Admiral Hunter”. I know some have expressed displeasure at how Scott would reference the Admiral seeminly every other sentence, but I liked the idea of a quasi savior of sorts. It gave me a similar feeling like when the main protagonist of the first “The Terminator” film would speak so highly of John Conner. I think they were similar concepts. A brilliant military commander who is humanities flicker of hope.
We saw him grow from a young man, be groomed by a wonderful menter, into a dedicated, albeit somewhat relunctant, idealistic leader. Then by the time of New Generation, we all could just imagine the inspirational exploits of this great leader.
So, with what’s been given to us so far…..has the various material of the various mediums done justice to the mystique of this almost human diety “Amdiral Hunter”????
The Sentinels feature, Jack McKinny Sentinels novels, Sentinels comics, PTTSC comics….these are the only things that gives us a glimps into this future/past.
How has it done???
Is this how you envisioned the legendary “Admiral Hunter”??????
Me, nope. :judge: I think all of it has failed miserably to live up to the reputation established in New Generation.
The Sentinels feature - Rick is so whiney and utterly unsure of himself, it really gets annoying.
Sentinels comics - don’t know, never read them.
Jack McKinny Sentinels books - same as the feature. Far too whiney with NO confidence.
PTTSC - still not quite assertive enough for my taste.
And last, the one failure that ALL of these stories share is this….NOT ONE OF THEM DEPICTS ADMIRAL HUNTER DOING ANYTHING PARTICULARLY EXTROIDINARY!!! :|
In Sentinels J.M. novels, yes he runs around alot and so forth. However, there has never been anything depicted where you think….“wow, if it wasn’t for the genius of ‘Admiral Hunter’ they would have all died”
Do you see what I’m saying?
Where is this magnificent son of a bitch named “Admiral Hunter”?????
They didn’t give him proper heroics!!!! :judge:
He deserved better, if you ask me!
