The Heroes/Villains Tournament of Champions - Planning Thread

[No spoken words]

I think Moses had the coolest miracle of all with the Red Sea parting. Jesus walking on water just doesn't have the same visual power.

Guy with the tablets FTW.

Don't fuck with the Tribe, basically. We're chosen for a reason.


To kick ass.

All those years of subjugation and ridicule are simply like Rocky playing rope-a-dope in one of his fights. It might look like they are beaten, but they're about to bring the thunder.

 

[Dalton]

Believe it or not, they're aren't a lot of Jews in West Michigan.

Really, the only thing I know about the Hebrews, I learned from Walt Disney. So imagine my surprise when I met a real life Jew and he didn't try to swindle me with his hook nose.


Maybe walt disney should be on our list?

 

[Dalton]

Has Freddy Krueger been added to the list yet? I'll nominate him even though he made me angry a lot as a boy. Who in their right mind kills the topless woman. Who?

Remember that one Family Guy cutaway where they bring Disney out of the cryogenic chamber, and all he says is "Are all the Jews gone yet?" They tell him no and he closes the lid back over himself.

God that was funny.

 

[LMP]

Jack Bauer is a shoo-in, too.

 

[lazarus]

I see your Jack Bauer, and raise you with Ben Linus/Henry Gale.

I'd love to see that interrogation scene.

 

[LMP]

WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR?!

*bug-eyed Thom Yorke glare*

priceless.

 

[lazarus]

Mr. Eko's gotta be in there too. He's one BAMF.

 

[No spoken words]

Eko is a great call, Laz.

What about McGoohan from the Prisoner? #6. He'd outthink a lot of these fools.

 

[LMP]

Hmm, good point.

Has Gandalf even been mentioned yet? Or Mr. Blonde? Or Amon Goeth from Schindler's? Or Rickman's Sheriff of Nottingham? Or Atticus motherfucking Finch?

Yeah, Eko is cool.

 

[No spoken words]

Any iteration of James Bond?

Whoa, what about Snake Eyes from GI Joe?

I think that literary characters, not including comic book characters, need to be disallowed. I've thought of too many to count, and they're all badass. If it's a book turned into a movie, so be it. That's my opinion, at least.

 

[LMP]

Yeah, otherwise this list would go on forever.

I'd pick CraigBond for pure badassery, but ConneryBond for the overall package.

He bagged Pussy Galore, guys. That has to count for something.

Atreyu should really be one of the heroes as well.

Only if Falkor is with him.

 

[No spoken words]

Omar from the Wire would likely die early, but he'd go down fighting.

 

[UberBeaver]

Omar vs Al Sweargen. Omar has become absolutely one of my favorite characters of all time.

Also: Dr. Evil.

 

[Dalton]

Whoa, what about Snake Eyes from GI Joe? [/B]

Clear fuckin' winner. Seriously, we don't even need to hold this tourny.

 

[LMP]

I really need to start watching The Wire.

 

[Dalton]

Oooooh. What about Viggo's character from A History of Violence. Is he a hero or a villain? Hey, do you think they want you to ask that question?

 

[LMP]

Hmm, anti-hero?

He and Snake Plissken both.

 

[phillyfan26]

Apollo Creed and Jesus

Let's see wins between the two of them.

(Not New Jesus, though. New Jesus would whoop up Apollo Creed but good.)

Also, Ivan Drago while we're at it?


Speaking of villians, I saw this great TV show called SportsCenter. The villian's name is Barry Bonds. Your thoughts?

 

[lazarus]

Bruce Lee.


/contest


Wait, I forgot he was a real person.

Okay, Bruce Lee's character in any Bruce Lee film.

 

[UberBeaver]

Leon from the Professional.

I like characters that have a plan. Jason Bourne has a plan - and a damn good one at that.

 

[Dalton]

Leon from the Professional.

I like characters that have a plan. Jason Bourne has a plan - and a damn good one at that.

Is it really a good plan if he's improvising all the time?

 

[UberBeaver]

Who, Bourne? Or Leon? Both improvise, but they improves a few steps ahead of everyone else, like they're playing chess. That's a plan in my book. John McLain's "I'll blow this shit up that that shit up then some more shit" is improvising one step at a time. Bourne will blow shit up soley to distract people.

 

[Dalton]

Yeah, I meant Bourne. His plan sometimes is, "Hey, I'm gonna sleep on this park bench and if anyone gives me shit, I'm gonna tear them a new one."

That's not a great plan. It's cool as hell, but you're not going to get hired on as a professional consultant with that kind of plan.

[Dalton]

See, Peter from Heroes would be a good choice if he wasn't such a puss.

 

[Dalton]

Oh and Voldermort should be in this thing and Hogwarts would make an excellent site for a battle.

 

[UberBeaver]

Ohh, Buffy - good choice. Caleb and Glory would make good villains. And The Gentlemen - they were friggin awesome.

 

[lazarus]

Please don't let this contest turn into some kind of Whedon-fest.
