Even then, I never picture Dogberry jumping as high as he does in the animation. I picture him jumping more like he's flying from the top turnbuckle of a wrestling ring and putting as much of his weight on his spear as possible. He's not so much flying through the air as using his legs to throw himself onto the enemy like The Macho Man.

Welp. My argument is undone. Ring the bell, stop the damn match.
I don't know, I'm pretty much with you. And I recognize that it makes my character a bit special snowflakey to have these metal legs that basically give him super powers. Though it did involve me playing a bedridden character for a few weeks, and a major recovery process once he got them. Plus, the deal he had to make to even get them and how they illustrate his willingness to make just about any deal that he feels will bring him closer to revenge. Even still, magic robot legs. I totally understand any kind of accusation of snowflakeyness leveled at me for that.
