mac's reasoning was bullshit. almost every point he and his groupies brought up was solidly debunked and he got juvenile about it. i can accept cutting corners storywise and not getting the facts completly correct but when an authors bias gets in the way of the facts it pisses me off.
why the hell write a crossover if you arent going to bother to get the facts right and the crossovers sole purpose is basicly to show how much better one side is from the other.
raisin i'm telling you right now that half the people defending that blatant piece of bad judgement would be crying rivers of blood and screaming buffy bashing if the had malcolm from malcolm in the middle beating buffy in a fight, which is basicly what he did bringing ultimate cap down to buffy's level.
also i see that you've taken the stance that shit like that is acceptable. so we probably have nothing further to say.
Wow.
While i can understand your reasoning, your "proof" is at best interpretation, and it's a constant in Mmcgregor fics that Slayers are slightly strongers than normal, and slightly more capable of evolution, which is *not* against canon at all.
It's one of these Grey Areas.
Now, that you use your opinion of what i consider a "grey area" or a "choice" of the author to say he deserves no respect is a tad harsh in my opinion, especially as his choice makes for a better stroy and characterisation.
Oh, and about the research thing? if you followed Mmcgregor a bit, you would know he is a hugge Marvel Fan, especially the first two ultimate.
Please, in crossover, you have to make choices, and this is one such. He made Buffy stronger. So what?
