(BTW: it took WAY too long for the blood to be brought back - his plans worked, and he should have implemented it, becoming the Abomination, not Michael)Similarly, if an Abomination was something to be feared even by Elders, than Michael should have been the one to kill Viktor, not Selene.But she's gotta be the hero <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /> - god, I hate that.MY review will be in the other thread, so I think the only other spoiler being discussed here so far is the powerz:I agree that I wish more vampire powers would have been displayed, but if they did, the WW copying would have been even more blatant (since WW vampires have just about every power under the moon covered by SOME Discipline), and many of them would have been tough to film.If I was going to discuss the gun-dominance from a gaming standpoint, I think the battles were pretty close to what might happen in the World of Darkness IF they had ammunition like in Underworld. The only reason why guns don't dominate in WW is because they only do bashing damage (easily overcome) - the second they introduce aggravated-damage bullets to WW, you can bet your bottom dollar that almost every fight would be dictated by gun battle, and you'd see almost every character use firearms to the point that other powers would be almost non-existant... obsolete... neglected.Ironically, only the eldest used a weapon other than a gun: Selene with her shuriken, and Viktor with his sword. This does follow logic, since they were the oldest action-type characters, so they would be the most likely to have secondary weapons still practiced.</blockquote>
