Maybe the tin whore can win this one...

Thor against Superman was a close fight. but Raiden. C'mon. Can he even see enough to fight under that freaky hat?

Stop bringing up the Dark KNight fight Nick. YOu tried that in the wolverine debate. Batman was plugged in to the city's electric grid and Superman had just survuved a nuclear blast.

Unfortunately all of you voted with your dicks already instead of debating the issue like you';re supposed to.

And Carlos, No one plays Horseshoes anymore, do they? Superman had great writers from '89 to about '95.  After that they got electric superman and a whole lotta shit.

THey've been real good for the last year though.

With a name like Starlight the BETTER be open late

Thor uses extranormal strength from a magical source. It is not itself magic. So Superman will be dealing with his strength without magical considerations. And lets not forget that Supes has faced magical opponents and kicked their asses.

This is the closest fight artistic has given Supes. But close only counts in hand grenades. If Supes can beat hulk and hulk can beat Thor... well, that's the end of the story.

Thor depends on his hammer for flight so he's weaker there. he wont be as maneuverable in the air.

I give them comparable strength levels. But supes has all the extra optional accessories, like heat vision and speed.

Thor wins a fashion contest but a real fight goes to Superman.

killed two of em? how you figure? The storyline for two was that SubZero's brother took over the name after Scorpion killed the first. But i dont remember Scorpion going after him. I mean, the storyline said Scorpion returned to the tournament because he heard SubZero was back, but did he kill him even after finding out it wasn't the same guy?

I dont remember a Scorpion in MK3. I remember cuz I was very pissed about that. UNLESS he was hiddne or something.

And Nick, the Ice shower was even easier to block than the iceball. Also whenever Sub zero froze the floor you just had to jump kick into him and you'd nail him.

You, Cowboy, are a demented deviant.

And regardless of what the old wizard guide says, Batman's been getting some lately.

Scorpion's harpoon was a lot quicker to realease. I could always see the iceball coming, cuz it took so long to perform.

That teleport of Scorpion's was cool too. It was harder to block than SubZero's comparative move, the slide. And whenevr the slide got blocked SubZero was left wide open for an uppercut. In MKII they gave Scorpion a longer range roundhouse kick than Sub Zero too.

I gotta admit, Press you Luck was a guilty pleasure back in the day. I watched a rerun last month and I was embarrassed that I liked the shit.

To tell you the truth, I dont' remember exactly what it was that I didn't like.

It had to do with the way there was no conflict resolution. Nothing changed. I guess that was kinda the point of the movie though. I gotta see it all again. I might even have a different opinion.

I gotta say that these two guys were my favorites in MK1. But I kicked more butt with Scorpion.

The're pretty evenly matched. So, we dig into the invented histories archives to see that Scorpion is hunting SubZero to avenge a killing. Sub Zero is a mercenary who kills for money.

Scorpion's got more appetite for this fight, I think.

PS. Nick, can you get these GIFs into the avatar archives?

No one's pretending fast food is gourmet food. It all stinks in comparison to real food.

But McDonalds stinks the worse. The only thing keeping them afloat is that they've conned kids into thinking they're cool. Those kids grow up to be adults who think they're cool, unless they actually develop a sense of taste. McDonalds knows this so they market to kids. That's why they always have their promotions linked to little kids movies.

Since I never grew up with either McDonalds or BK, I never had to work my way through leftover childhood mind patterns.

Obviously, in fuckin-Guyana things must be different.  

Wow, Chief, I haven't spoken to you in years and I find you still haven't come up with a new line. And BK isn;t about chicken, it's about beef.

Wendy's has the best fast food chicken sandwich. I've actually crossed through the middle of traffic to get one.

Gonna have to check out TIme Bandits...

12 monkeys dissapointed me at the end... And demolition Man is actually a great pick Nick. It was a true scifi movie in it's imagining of the future and the gadgets and politics of it.

I should also mention The Philadelphia Experiment 2. It's kinda similar in concept to Final Countdown: WW2 being altered by modern technology travelling back intot he past.

The poll limits the choices to ten, so like I said, I didn't get to put all the good stuff up there. It's probably a good thing though, cuz we'd have more things to vote for than actual votes.

Sure, everyone go with the herd...

Just cuz you've been indoctrinated into it since kindergarten dont make it good. I guess Bill Hicks was right. Marketing and advertising people are total scum. They've made McDonalds desirable. Ronald McDonald is the Pied Piper's sucessor. Generations of american kids have been too caught up in the gimmicks that McDonald's uses to realized that the food is artificial tasting crud.

Secret sauce!!? It's Thousand Island dressing, dammit. If you want secret sauce I can whip you up a bit. I just need a Playboy and an empty bathroom. (gimme a couple minutes)

Burger King has fries made of potato and burgers made with beef (that taste like beef). McDonalds has fries made of soy and burgers made from tufu (that taste like cardboard)

I just pray Burger King brings back their spicy triple cheeseburge cuz that thing was incredible.

Hey, Heartless... Andrea is good, dammit.

the song I'm ashamed to admit I like is Everybody, by backstreet boys

there! are U satisfied? I'm publicly humiliated.  :hmph:

I know there are other movies out there, but the poll only lets me put ten up. Feel free to give alternatives in the discussion

I didn't include Terminator cuz it would have gotten votes for it's action not it's time travel elements.

I give it to Maximus.

Nick: like Wallace ain't gonna be goin all sad about Murron and losin his Dad to the anglish.

Maximus is a man well versed in personal combat. so's wallace but he's more of a guerilla fighter type. in this kinda man to man thing he's gonna be at a disadvantage.

And since Maximus is fictional we're gonna have him fight the fictional Mel Gibson character. What the real Wallace's dimensions are wont affect that fight

Chief, if you went around this board trying to correct everyone's grammar, you'd never get done. Let it slide dude. Even I'm not that anal retentive and I'm pretty anal retentive.

And I gotta give it to the JLA. I'm not sure which Jedi we're talking about, but against an equal number of Jedi the JLA would kick butt.

So I'm gonna go vote.

Best fight I ever saw was also two girls going at it. Weird stuff too. The were going at it over a guy, while the idiot just watched and laughed. One girl wasn't into it, but the crowd wouldn't let her back away. They kept egging her on.

There was the usual girlfight features: clawing nails, hairpulling, bras flying...

Did anyone catch the Jones fight last night. It was the funniest knockout I ever saw.

his fight weight was 172 too. and he's been looking to get a fight with a guy in the 156lb division. they still haven't decided what weight to fight at. but it'll mean Jones has to move down.

Ali had power to match Tyson. And while Ali could take a beating, Tyson prime had excellent defense.

In the end though, Ali was the smarter man and the smarter fighter. I give it to him.

What weight devision is Jones jr in now?

Well, my favorite movie review site is www.crankycritic.com and his system is based on how much money he thought the movie was worth. not a purely neumeric system either, but based on whther it's a dateflick or 'wait for video' type thing

Nick: I wanna see Spawn fight Supes cuz I think the dude could win.

(WOW. AM I really saying that?)

well, yeah. Supes is more vulnerable to magic (not especially vulnerable. Just has no defenses against it, like regular humans) than physical attacks.

ANd certainly Spawn's a better challenge than wwolverine. much more interesting fight too. more interplay of powers and tactics.

The post above from Akie is actually from me. I'm using his comp at the moment.

I read Spawn til about Aug last year. Hw was taking on high level enemies and all.

I dont think that heaven or hell are scared of him as Yahve says. They are scared of the imbalance his actions are causing. Kinda like the first loose stone in an avalanche of other things besides Spawn

I'm still thinking hulk, though I wanna see the Spawn supes fight. We already know how the hulk fight turns out...

And I say we do Batman and Daredevil here too.

and when is Prime gonna get his big moment? :hmph:

I made the analogy about the hurricane for a reason. Just the way a hurricane can put a piece of wood through a concrete wall, Doomsday has the strength to hurt superman with bone claws (in any case I doubt they were ordinary bone).

But a human can't put a steel katana through a concrete wall even though it's sharper and harder, because they don't have the strength. Wolvie hasn't the strength to use those claws against superman.

And just the way a boxer goes for the body in the early rounds before moving in for the knockout, Supes can stay in the air til he's fried most of Wolvie's flesh off. And while the bones may be made of adamantium they're still separate bones. They can be yanked out of their sockets. Dont believe Supes would go that far? Look at the doomsday fight where he clinically breaks Doomsday's bones to weaken him.

I'm gonna have to do a listing of evidence here cuz apparently Nick's wasn't enough. But I dont have the time.

Carlos: U still haven't given Wolvie a way out of the super bear hug.

Hitler: you are a poser. walking around strutting, like you're the biggest asshole in history when Stalin and Mao both killed more people than you. And they killed their own people too.

3rd Reich? more like 3rd rate.

Prime: you are not fit to even lick the footsteps of Big Blue.

- OMG. I'm arguing back at a dead guy and a lame fictional character. See you guys later. I gotta call my shrink.

"Hello, Dr. Scratchansniff?"
