Let's look at the title of this thread "Join the Ace army!"
Sound familiar?
In America, this sentiment is very familiar. The U.S. army wants to recruit young people CONSTANTLY. But the biggest problem they have is that the recruitees parents will not let them join! This is where the whole thing between Emily and Rye comes in. Emily is acting as the teenager that strives for independence, while Rye is the mother who, in Emily's eyes, hinders her for doing so. And by me climbing through the window, I am symbolizing the army in that I'm trying to get her to do something she presumably wants to do that her mother (Rye) disapproves of.
The U.S. army has tapped into this, of course. That's where everybody saying "we should sell this!" comes in. The army now purposely tries to convince parents that joining the army is A-OK, and they use lots of different methods to get this message across, which is where using artists such as Imogen Heap to sell the "opera" comes in. Yes? Yes.
Me saying that I'm from the internet to arrest you all symbolizes common disapproval of the army's methods of recruiting. Again, tying back into "Join The Ace Army!"
And then of course, Techfan's pic. It symbolizes the horrors of war. The jackolantern itself symbolizes the menacing face of the enemy. And the gopher inside, which Rye said looked like a rabbit with cut off ears (very important!) symbolizes the helpless victims in such a bloody war.
xDD I don't even live in the U.S.!!!Ace, welcome to Canada!! Ace:(looks around)Umm...where am I? Me:Canada silly!!!!! Ace:(Officially scared from being in a new place)C-Canada? Me:^^ Yes!In 2008!! Ace:WHAT!?*faints from stess* Me:OMG!!!!GET THE DOCTORS!!!!Wait...GLOMP!!!!!!*glomps 6th time*

I think I would like Ace better if he… You know… Wasn’t so stale…
I mean, his one liners are great and I love his ability to take control of most situations… But I’d like to see him reeeeeeally frustrated, or reeeeeeeally upset… Not always… “Meh, whatev’.”
I WANT ACE TO HAVE SOME EMOTIONS… D:
It was great in Time after Time when he was blasting at the Trolbot 9000-
Duck: NOT THE TROLBOT 9000!!
And he was growling and stuff… It made me happy… 8D
Dear Warner Brothers,
If you do decide to make a third season or a movie, please give Ace some more emotions.
Thank you.

I totally agree!I love it in Secrets of the Guardian Strike Sword when he's all surprised and angry and OH HAPPY LAUREN!!!!Oh and "repe."NO!!!I have some respect for my fave character. Ace:Thank-you=D Me:^^*glomp-8* Ace:*Cries* Me:See?Why can't you be this emotional on your show?! Ace:I have a show???? Me(sighing)Oh boy.You have a lot to learn*runs off to youtube for episodes* Ace:(drools over Lexi) Me:Awww=D
See, I don’t understand this… I find Tech and Ace to have little character (which might be one of the reasons why I left the Techies). They both have great attributes… Too many great attributes… It makes me think that Duck’s so opposite with his numerous bad attributes simply to balance them out…
I mean, Ace is the ultimate leader… How can you possibly top that? He’s charming, he’s witty, he’s courageous, he’s loyal, he’s strong, he’s skilful… Many pros, yes… But where are the cons to balance him out? He’s naïve. Just a liiiiiiitle too trusting… That’s not very balancful (hah! Just made a new word XD ).
Tech has more flaws than Ace, but it has been discussed before on these forums whether or not he could also be considered a (dun dun dunnnnn) Gary-Stu… Let’s look at his pros then. He’s gorgeous, he’s gorgeous, he’s gorgeous, he has a gorgeous voice, he’s gorgeously courageous and takes hits for the team, he’s a gorgeous super genius that can do practically everything, he’s gorgeous, he’s gorgeous, he’s smart and witty and provides a certain humour to the show that couldn’t come from anyone else and he’s gorgeous. Ok, many of those pros were “he’s gorgeous”… But… Even I as a Duckie can’t deny his rugged, handsome canine good-looks… ^^;;
But what about his cons? Well, he’s quite protective of his inventions (but see, I can understand this… If you sit down and work on a school project or an art project or a writing project for a really long time, pour your heart and guts into it just to make it perfect, become so immensely proud because you and only you managed to created such a piece, and then someone comes along and blows it up… You’d be upset too, methinks), he knows diddley about wormholes (but then again, who does???) and he doesn’t get out of the lab much… Oh! And he doesn’t like Rev’s rambling.
You see, those are a lot of good points about both characters… But not many bad points (although I do feel Tech is a bit more balanced out than Ace). I think this is where Duck fits into everything. He’s everyone’s cons rolled into one. He’s selfish, arrogant, self-centred-
Duck: HEY!
-Short tempered at times, ego driven, somewhat foppish-
Duck: Excuse me! I don’t have to stand for this!
-Cowardly, overly confident, cynical, somewhat cruel at times, rude-
Tech: So tell me… Why do you like him??
… I have a thing for overly arrogant characters and the comic relief… ^^;
… I think I had a point with this post… But I cannot for the life of me recall… So I’m gunna go and try to finish some of my report on Hatshepsut… 83

Don't worry Ace!!!You don't need any flaws!!! Ace:Why does everyone think I'm perfect?Surely you don't want a superhero who messes up and lets the city gets destroyed, do you? Me:...I guess not. Ace:CONSPIRECY!!! Me:Oh Ace!!!*glomps for the 11th time*
-Looks at all the random things and topics that I have missed- Wow... this seems to be getting further and further away from Ace... wonder why?
Meh, oh well. Long as Ace has his own little buncha fangirls and ICECREAM he'll be happy.
Ace: Ya, I might be fine without the... -freezes- did you say icecream?!
hehehe I love the icecream thing! Dunno why but... OOH! Thats another con! He's an icecream lover!!! Wait, lotsa people like icecream... never mind.
It's too damned hot here. My popsicle is already melting and I JUST got it outta the freezer!!
me: -randomly glomps Ace- Ace: Gah! What the heck is your... me: -dangles Revelo infront of his face- Ace: -looks at me. looks at Revelo. shrugs. takes Revelo and lets me continue to hug him- me: Sucess!
xDD Doggirl you've found the way to get him!!!*Does the same* Ace:Strangely, I'm okay with this*licks ice cream* Me:YAY!!!*glomps 12th time* Ace:Maybe having fangirls ain't so bad after all... Lexi:EXCUSE ME!? Ace:Uh oh
Flaws would be nice.The only one I see is guillableness(is that a word?).I really started noticing it in the pinkster episode, when Ace foilled yet ANOTHER plan.I was really hoping he was hurt, too! Ace:Hey!
Yea, that really, and I mean REALLY annoys me.I'm just like, "Mess up would ya!!!!!"If we do have a 3rd season, petition for my mistakes!!!And, sigh, more Rev time.;P
More Rev time, more flaws for Ace, Lexi hasta stop being such a token female, Tech should… I dunno… Go on a date that fails miserably… And Duck should just continue to be awesome. ^__^
And Slam needs to make a coherent sentence just once… To prove he’s not a total idiot. ;3
