Adam West listed on the Memorial.

The news that Adam West passed away is flooding Facebook. Knowing there a list of heroes many former players of City of Heroes. Perhaps we can add Adam West to the list maybe under his Fairly Odd Parents alter Ego Catman (no way DC would let us use Batman).

To fans everywhere, he was the face of the campy TV Batman and unlike many he enjoyed being the role when putting on a cape nearly end one's career.

The one Batman that could deal with the tragedy of his early life and move on, instead of letting it turn him into a goth violence factory. And he believed in properly labeling things.

Has anyone seen my mind? It was right here...

"Some days, you just can't get rid of a bomb." Sounds like an achievement to me. A mission by the pier where you defuse a bomb, but you have the option of picking it up and throwing it into the harbor instead?

I know this would be going to the extreme but if you decide to pick up the bomb to throw it into the harbor the Devs need to attach a unique running animation to your character so that for that short period of time you'd run just like Adam ran in that scene. That would be hilarious. ;)

Christopher Reeve absolutely.

I dunno about the suggestion for Heath Ledger, supposedly the Joker role is part of what brought him to the edge. Jack Nicholson said it strained him as well while he was playing the role. I feel uncomfortable using that role as a memorial statement. Not saying he doesn't deserve something, perhaps something a little more subtle.

With all due respect to all the great actors over the years who brought many great comic book heroes and villains to life I think we need to consider a way to keep this "memorial" idea from being endlessly open ended. Basically what I'm saying is that if we start thinking about memorializing one or two people like Adam West and/or Christopher Reeve then theoretically players could start making cases for -other- past actors like Heath Ledger or Brandon Lee. Where would it end?

Perhaps what MWM should consider doing is making an arbitrary decision that prior to the launch of CoT they will only ever memorialize say 3 actors who have passed on prior to launch. The game could start with those 3 and -never- pick any others who passed on -before- launch. This would keep us from having to worry about memorializing too many folks from the past while also leaving open the possibility that any future passings could then be added to the game if everyone collectively thought it was worthwhile enough.

Basically I want to prevent the possibility of players seeing a bunch of memorialized actors in-game and then saying "Well you spent all that time/effort memorializing the last 57 actors so why don't you add my very obscure 58th guy (who died like in like 1961) to the list?". I'm not against the general idea of "memorialization" as much as I'm against wasting the Devs' time and effort creating an entire in-game cemetery for this.

You mean just have a single generic memorial that would count for everyone (past and future) instead of ever calling any one person out by name specifically? Yeah I guess that would solve the "where to stop" problem as well.

We could still have various Easter Eggs in the game like having stores that sell Shark Repellent and such. ;)

Not to keen on the shark

Not to keen on the shark repellent idea, but mostly that's because we know it's 60's camp and I hope the game takes itself more seriously than 60's Batman ever did. :p

Agree with the no need to do something for every superhero actor. :p Living or dead. Though I would also say, not every superhero actor is as noteworthy as Adam West is. Adam West had such things as Family Guy to keep him known for example. Heath Ledger is much more recent.

However, the likes of George Reeves may have lots of people going "Who?" (I'm sure many of the posters here, likely know who he is). Christopher Reeve may just as likely leave the younger generation going "Who?"

You could do things that are a nod to certain things, like West's Gadget Shoppe, Reeve Street, or a side mission to dispose of a bomb you find on a dock or something, sure. The only reason I brought up a generic memorial was just that once you start you can't stop, and if an actor/actress from any comics-type move passes away there will be a level of expectation there.

Which is what happened with CoH if memory serves. Put an in game nod to a player who died, then people would think other players who loved the game needed a memorial in game.

Did you read the earlier posts? I wasn't necessarily talking about something characters could actually buy - just something that might be on a shelf in a store somewhere.

As far as the "you can't have that because CoT is going to be serious game" sentiment goes I hope it's not so serious that it can't laugh at itself at least from time to time.

Well memorializing "past" actors is basically the main problem that needs to be avoided because there's basically no end to that. Perhaps if MWM feels an overwhelming need to call out any real world person like that by name they should only allow for people who pass away AFTER the game officially launches. At that point MWM can effectively control how many people they ever want to memorialize without having to worry about people petitioning for "Joe Blow" back in 1936 or some-such.

Obviously the Devs have the right to memorialize whoever they want in CoT. But if the Devs were to definitively say right now "we are not going to memorialize anyone by name" or "we are not going to memorialize anyone who passed prior to launch" then maybe they will stem the tide of people pestering them all the time to have -other- questionably lesser people memorialized. If they don't establish a clear policy one way or the other they run the risk having to deny constant requests for it. *shrugs*

But as to the question of "subtle" Easter Eggs or what not (i.e. streets named after comic book people) that'd probably be fine. It's the "formal memorializations" (with the dedicated holograms and such) I'm concerned about.

Just had an idea of a simple comic book shop. Some posters on the wall with altered versions of characters actors Played. Cat-man for Batman for example for Adam West. Ultra-man for Superman could work. These are simple posters so be just nods and easter eggs.

Though I still like to see the Ye Old Chum shop. Like any tourist trap, the Shark Repellant could be just a gimmick sold to tourists.

Shark repellent is not a gimmick. They tested it at the Australian Olympics. They've also found that the shark liver is very effective against sharks of the same breed. They did a test in Hawaii I think where they released some tiger shark liver in the water and saw that several of the tracked Tigers dove for deep water and fled the area within hours of the release.

You do realize there's a difference between "real world science of 2017" and "a comic book world set in a campy version of the 1960s" right?

At the time of Adam West's Batman TV show things like "Bat Computers", "Atomic Turbines" and "Bat Shark Repellent" were very much borderline sci-fi things most people had never even heard of. You have to accept that the setting of the show (and anything from that show) was very much in its own comic book inspired environment that really didn't have a strong direct relationship to the "real world". Basically cut it some slack for campy artistic license and stop being "so serious".

So perhaps they are both Grandfathers. One the cool one the other the sad grumpy one. Most of us were born after the Campy TV Batman was in syndication or off air. Yet how many didn't know who we are talking about?

While I could see an in-game

While I could see an in-game street sign as an homage to Adam West (e.g., East West Street or West Wayne Avenue), I don't think that the Memorial Garden would be the place for celebrities. Were it so, then Eartha Kitt (who died in 2008) would be just as appropriate as Adam West.

I think that Ascendant would be *very* appropriate for the CoT Memorial Garden, as he was a well-known and well-liked player in City of Heroes and would likely have continued playing Ascendant in City of Titans, were it not for his untimely death.

While inclusion in the Memorial Garden should require an in-depth vetting process, I think it would be quite disrespectful to Tre Chapman's memory to not include him in memoriam.

Best suggestion for a memorial given so far:
A fishing stand down by the pier named Ye Olde Chum, which sells a variety of novelty items and is staffed by a man named West.

I love it! Just make sure the stand sells my Fishing temp power!
