The best thing is THERE IS NO EXPLANATION FOR THIS.

The elf shows up, three more times in Gerber's run with the Defenders, same set up (more or less --I think he was dressed as a Native American Shaman once), BANG. And no explaining what was going on,

And, when Kraft takes over the Defenders the Elf With a Gun shows up again to kill a kid and then gets run over by a truck. The end.


EDIT: Found a write up of it.

I contract for border collies at my job. They do a great job. The thing about the geese is if you gently caress with them enough they'll just move. You have to have regular visits from the border collies but it's the only way I've found to reliably keep the geese away.

I lived in an apartment complex that had a big central area with a pond, a pool, and some grass. There was a goose that was always hanging around there, and it was the biggest rear end in a top hat in the whole world. It would constantly charge at people anywhere within the vicinity of that very large central area. I don't believe it was protecting a nest either, as I lived there about a year, and never saw any other geese.

Geese loving suck. They are huge pricks.

Geese are basically mirrors of people. Meaning, they won’t act like an rear end in a top hat if you don’t. Also, I’ve worked at UW for 15 years and have never once heard of broken limbs caused by geese. I’ve also never been attacked by one because I don’t barrel through flocks of them like I own the place.

Geese need to get get with the times. This is the anthropocene not the goose age. If they didn't want us trampling their babies they should've beat us to developing tools, agriculture, and fart jokes.

Nene are super chill and awesome. They'll walk right up to you, not to attack you, but just like to see what you're up to. They don't honk, they make this sort of muttering noise with a lot of variation that sounds like they're kinda just talking to themselves. They're way :3:

I was lucky enough to run into a couple of nene on big island just chilling in the middle of the road, got out to try and shoo them away like you would with american geese and those cool birds just looked up at me like "dude what are you even on about?" before eventually continuing on their way

To be clear I'm in property management, and I contract with a guy that has the border collies. So not that interesting. But the dogs are cool. One will start chasing the geese into the water and another jumps in the water and chases the geese out and eventually the geese are like "gently caress this" and leave. We had tried many other things to get rid of them, none of which worked. Including letting the dept of fish and game round up and euthanize them all. More took their place in a matter of weeks. But the dogs work really well. I don't know if there are goose forums where the geese post and tell each other to stay away or what, but it's pretty amazing. Expensive, but effective.

Not to mention the loving ground pressure on those things.

Making your giant battle robot less mobile than your regular rear end infantry does not seem like a winning move.
