Friday Night Fights--FSHAM Style!!

Hey, sometimes sound effects are great in a fight. And sometimes, when the creators phone it in, they're a tiny bit repetitive. Just a tiny bit.

Case in point--the "Mighty" Avengers are facing the terror of Ultron, who is controlling dozens of Iron Man's spare/old suits of armor:

Hmmm, are you getting the idea that Tony Stark's security is somehow completely underwhelming?!?Well, this is going to be difficult. And what creative tactics does Ultron use?

Guess she should have shut her cow-mouth...OK, the repulsor ray barrage is cute, and FSHAM is nice. What else you got, Ultron?

More of the sameHmmm....anything else??

Emphasis through repetition is a valid literary tool...
Rinse, lather, repeatO...K...that's a whole lotta FSHAM, isn't it??

But Ares is pretty pissed off...

Just for the record...why, exactly, is Ares in the Avengers?!?Surely, he can overcome the constant FSHAM, can't he?

God in need of a good body waxingUh, not so much.

Time for a change in tactics:

I know the armor's controlled by Ultron, but should it really be so easy to chop Iron Man in half?!?Ah, here we go...surely a jet boot won't make the same sound effect as a repulsor ray, right?

Why bother to come up with a new sound effect, when the old one works so well??Sigh...

You know, Spacebooger could have come up with a few more sound effects--in his sleep!!!

Bendis, Cho, and "Artmonkeys' Dave Lanphear" get extremely lazy with their sound effects in Mighty Avengers #4 (2007).
