I would think they would fall in the "Superheroine" girls category :)

-WF-Qu'est-ce que Hoek?!-

I kinda thought as much.

Actually, some superheroines are magical girls. Mary Marvel, for example.

thing? cos' if she does'nt, she loses her licence :)

Well, you never see her NAKED, mind you, but there is a colorful flash sequence when she changes from 'normal' to 'costumed superhero' mode. Lightning bolts tend to do that ^_^

But her costume does come from magic, so it works. Of course, don't tell these guys (http://www.improfanfic.com/mgh) that . . . they'd try to kill her.

HO-kay :)

Hmm i don't know if Lightning bolts count as an actual transformation...
I will have to check with the agency

...And fail because she is a supeheroine with friends right? :)

Let's put it this way. There are two other (powered) members of the Marvel Family (leaving out such anomalies as Black Adam and the Lieutenant Marvels) who transform in the same way. Billy Batson goes from a 14-year-old boy to a 30-ish man, and Freddy Freeman ceases to be crippled. If those aren't "actual transformations", then Sailor Moon ain't doin' nothin' but putting on a dress.

So's Sailor Moon. Takeuchi opened new ground by merging traditonal "magical girl" with sentai (superhero) elements when she created Sailor Moon.

sorry my mistake.. I meant does it count as an actual transformation
sequence.

Bob thats entirely my point :)

If the MGH get after a magical girl, she's dead. The 'power of love' ain't gonna stop a .44 caliber bullet airing out a little pipsqueak's cranium. It's especially not going to stop a sniper rifle, aimed from the rooftop above the girl. And it really will work perfectly if their annoying little talking friend is killed first.

Sorry. I just realized this sounded a whole lot like a shameless plug for Magical Girl hunters. Mea culpa. Just go read the story. It's like . . . uh . . . Quentin Tarantino does the mahou shoujo genre.

If you want to see Magical Girls deconstructed well, without changing any of the "rules", check out Sailor Nothing by Stefan "Twoflower" Gagne: http://www.pixelscapes.com/sailornothing . Warning - it's very, very grim.

Uhm . . . well, yeah.

I wasn't sure how well people would respond to SN. It's great writing, but . . . God, it's pain.

I like MGH because it treats the subject with equal parts Tarantino-esque comedy and Lovecraftian horror. SN I love because its characters ring so true.

Either way you can't go wrong, it's just that I was trying to keep with the funny aspects of the thread. SN has little to no humor, unless you count painful irony as humor. Which it isn't.

However, the Yamiko are the best villains ever.

Hey Ed? anything new in the works for Legion's Quest? I haven't seen any updates in a while. *awaits response hopefully*

Thanks, that was one of my more loathsome puns.

I'm working on it. I'm also writing a rather large story for the
Xanadu Project. (Must remember to catch Gryphon and Zoner sometime
to ask their opinion on it...)
