Two heroes in action gear stand in a weapons room. Hero 1 holds a big gun.
Hero 1: Let’s surround the monster and shoot it with our laser rifles.
Hero 2: We can’t. It’s immune to lasers.
Hero 1: Huh. Machine guns then.
Hero 2: It’s also immune to bullets.
Hero 1: Well then, what will kill it?
Hero 1 is wearing a top that has been ripped to shreds. They have several artfully placed bleeding cuts, and a scrap of torn cloth is tied around their forehead.
Hero 2: While the monster admires your abs, grab a shard of glass from a recently broken window. Then when it lifts you in the air by your neck, you can finally stab it in the face.
Hero 1: How about I improvise a weapon that shoots glass shards?
Hero 2: No, it’s immune to glass shards.
P.S. Our bills are paid by our wonderful patrons. Could you chip in?
LOL … yes, that is the only way to kill the monster.
Great one, Bunny and Chris!
What would make that monster immune to long-range weapons but not short-range ones?
Magic!
I do think that Hero 1 just wanted to see Hero 2 with a naked chest…
Plot twist. Every monster ever is actually equip with one of Dune personnal shield, allowing only slow moving objets to pass throught.
Monsters have always demanded weird and complex methods of disposal.
In Greece, for example, to kill a vampire you need to decapitate it and boil its head in vinegar.
sounds like a date! Though likely a bit Pickled.
Don’t forget to BELIEVE in yourself too, Mr Hero!
“I see you checking me out. You know, this doesn’t have to end in violence….”
*BGM: Careless Whisper*
Of course. If the weakness wasn’t some oddly specific thing only our hero could pull off, then the copious amount of firepower thrown at the monster by nameless, expendable red shirts might actually do something meaningful, instead of helping the audience understand why they should be so impressed by our hero’s victory.
Maybe we might imagine monsters like that are weak to magical glass shards. If that’s the case, bring on the wizards.
They could try the Barney song or the Lollypop song…
