"that which does not kill us, makes us stranger"

Originally an Aeon Flux quote, from the second full length episode, I believe. The Joker also says it in the new Batman, I'd say its more of an easter egg there than a rip-off; they knew their inspirations, and cult influences of the mid-90's were very prominent. In fact, I found the same interplays, juxtapostions, and themes from Aeon Flux were all touched upon in that movie. I smelled a little Twisted Metal too; but that's probably just the psycho clown.

"Those who reject the path to enlightment must be destroyed"

Stargate SG1. Fits perfectly to ascension wars.

no, the best analogy to the ascension wars:

"We are Borg. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile. Your culture will adapt to service ours." Star Trek-First Contact.

Pretty obvious how that applies to dom3.

Check my signature for a favorite movie line which blends nicely with Dominions_3 as pretenders battle for godhood.

The movie was of course... Highlander

I recall Highlander generated not only movie sequels, but at least two television series. Not many movies can boast the same fame history.

"It's a hell of a thing, killin' a man. You take everything he's got, and everything he ever will have."

As close to the line as I can recall off the top of my head, Clint Eastwood says it near the end of Unforgiven and it's always stuck with me. Love Don Corazon's Usual Suspects quote as well, one of my fave movies. Though the Dark Knight is swiftly climbing my list! So here's one from the Joker you guys can feel free to use on an MP opponent that you are about to wipe out:

"You were a schemer. You had plans. And look where that got ya'."

Can we just quote a whole movie?
Ghost Busters
----
Dr. Peter Venkman: NOBODY steps on a church in my town.
------------------------
Janine Melnitz: [on the phone] Is it just a mist, or does it have arms and legs?
---------------------------------
Dana Barrett: [possessed by Zuul] Take me now, subcreature.
------------------------------
Dr. Peter Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Mayor: What do you mean, biblical?
Dr Ray Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath-of-God type stuff.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Exactly.
Dr Ray Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies. Rivers and seas boiling.
Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness. Earthquakes, volcanoes
Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria.
----------------------------------------
Gozer:
Are you a god?
Dr. Raymond Stantz:
No?
Gozer:
Then . . . die!
--------------------------------------
Winston Zeddemore:
[W]hen someone asks you "if you're a god?" you say, "Yes!"
--------------------------------------
Dr. Raymond Stantz:
Good evening. As a duly designated representative of the City, County, and State of New York, I order you to cease any, and all, supernatural activity and return forthwith to your place of origin, or to the nearest convenient parallel dimension.
-----------------------------------
Dr. Peter Venkman:
Let's show this prehistoric ***** how we do things downtown!
----------------------------------
Dr. Raymond Stantz:
It can't be!
Dr. Peter Venkman:
What is it?!
Dr. Raymond Stantz:
It can't be!
Dr. Peter Venkman:
What did you do, Ray?!
Winston Zeddemore:
Oh, sh**!
Dr. Raymond Stantz:
It's the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.
---------------------------------
Winston Zeddemore: Hey, wait a minute. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Hold it! Now, are we actually gonna go before a federal judge, and tell him that some moldy Babylonian god is going to drop in on Central Park West, and start tearing up the city?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Sumerian, not Babylonian.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Yeah. Big difference.
------------------------------
Dr. Egon Spengler: Vinz, you said before you were waiting for a sign. What sign are you waiting for?
Louis: Gozer the Traveler. He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!
-------------------------

Originally?

What does not kill me, makes me stronger.
Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols, 1888
German philosopher (1844 - 1900)


Kids these days.



"That's no ordinary rabbit!" - I wish I could directly tie that to something Dominions, obviously we need a Demon Rabbit summons.


"It's just a flesh wound!" - An unnamed Utgardian warrior, after losing his second eye in the current KingMaker game.
