But what exactly is the argument that Cousin Eddy is like Minion outside of Story Mode?
He's still a large, rectangle, heavy boss character with a flamethrower special, and that's
disregarding his fight being the exact same. All he does when you play him is make the game easier. I liked his ending, but hes not much of a character. I want something that's at least
somewhat original. I'm not saying minion owns the flamethrower, it's just
another thing in the plethora of shit he copied. Oh shit, he's got a darkside special, whoopdie fuckin doo, I bet that was hard for incog to think up. if he was just an unlockable character, ok, but they're
both midbosses, which makes the issue of him being a soulless lazy character even more horrible, because he's the midboss. Like, the curse in Dark Souls is retarded, but it doesn't get in the way too much because it's only in two areas, one is avoidable, for the most part, and the other
rarely happens, so it's ok. In this, CE is the midboss, he's a highlight, making the design choice seem even more lazy, because you'd think the midboss of the fucking game would have more attention.
Shit, everyone in TM4 has a shitty variation of that special. Another flaw I look past because it's still really fun to go back to, unlike HO.
You know what I like about trapper, and piecemeal? They were bosses, not lame gimmicky shitfests. As a boss, I hated Warhawk, TMB minion was ok, but I'd rather fight a boss 1v1 than take down shields or have lackeys get in my way. DS has the same problem, the Bed of Chaos is a shitty gimmick boss, not a real fight, and I hate it for the same reason.
