(reads comments) Okay, back tracking a bit. Mercen, I never said that she couldn't be a character, I'll quote myself by saying that in the trailer she was badass as she did more in one minute than any of them took to take down one bird... ... .... not that hard to kill when you think about it. Its a bird. I'm pretty sure that if you were to get on its back and lodge something into its head, you'd spare a pointless fight scene. Anyway, I also said that because of the trailer, we know the extent of Ruby's ability in a situation that calls for it, yet that doesn't imply anything about her intelligence or experience as a whole.

Also, if you think that every badass character is a cutout of every other badass character then i know a couple of character who would like to have a... ... ah... ... dam, what do you call it

(Krillan: A talk)

beating, thats it. They'd like to give you a beating.

And being badass doesn't define a character, but more an aspect of a trail that character may possess. For Ruby, being a little girl wielding a bigass scythe, which is an aspect to her combat ability. Alucard, its, well, his boss is a women, he was a chick in the 40's, he hate EVERYONE equally, and there is no one alive, who can even begin to comprehend, his sexual prejudice.

Since it is my original idea for my comment, I'll spell it out as best as I can, trailer aside: we all remember the first couple of minutes of the first episode when she knocked out the goons. The chase after Roman. And stood there. Roman threw a dust crystal at her feat which could explode. And stood there. Then Glynda shows up and s*%t goes down. And she stood there. CInder appears. And she finally does something.

several scenes later: the sling shot plan. A plan that she came up with on the spot, although, if she was playing Angry Birds at the time, I wouldn't be surprised. The plan so great that she can tell no one about it and have it go perfectly. I know the show follows its own logic... tremendously flawed logic that would cause any Darlek to self destruct, but there is a limit to the amount of stupidity oneself can take. For reference, see comments above.

My point being that her skill level drops after the first episode and is on a downward Spiral since.
