Conversationaly,I belive Boba Fett would kick the gak out of Worf (but Worf would die with Honor),and Kirks Enterprise would vaporize the Millennium Falcon.
Remember you want to divide the comic book shop, not united them against you. So I have to toss out anything related to Jar-Jar.
How about: the 90's were comics greatest era since back then Youngblood and Spawn could sell millions of copies but these days crap like Ultimates only sells thousands of copies.

Excuse me!
What about the Star Wars franchise was ever well thought out and deep from the beginning?
I think you just proved his point
I actually like star wars but to offend 'real' fans I'll point out.
Scripts
Ewoks
Younglings and the totally unemotional slaying and discovery off slayings
Midi chlorians _+ speaking into gillette venus lady razors
'I'm Anakin' said in whiny voice
Anakin slaying the sand people 'yawn'
Anakin and Obi wan scrapping 'Hayden, play this like you are a teenager who cant go out after 10pm'
'The birth' I still cant see that without wanting to rip George Lucas heart out.
And Jar Jar.
Lucas work on star wars is flawed, enjoyable, but deeply flawed (even for saturday matinee).

How about we NOT do what's been done a million times before(Batman always beats Supes and Wolverine already perma-killed Sabretooth in continuity)?
2 that never end satisfactorily:
Batman vs. Wolverine
Wolverine vs. Lobo(let's do this one again WITHOUT fan voting and see who wins, since neither Marvel nor DC could actually come up with a logical way Wolverine could actually beat Lobo and so had it happen offscreen)

That wouldn't start a fight. That would just make them all get sweaty and nervous thinking about it. There would be a subsequent lineup for the washroom.
"why is Zelda always having to go and rescue the princess?"
I always thought Zelda was the princess,and the "elfs" name was Link.
That's because it is. I have a feeling the reason it was in quotes was because if you go to any VG website and post that, you'll get a bunch of fanboyz yelling about the fact that Zelda = Princess, Link = Hero.
(and I thought he was originally hired to bring down Galvatron, at least that's how I remember him in the time war comics back when I was a kid about 27 years ago).
(and I thought he was originally hired to bring down Galvatron, at least that's how I remember him in the time war comics back when I was a kid about 27 years ago).
He was, but he was also hired to kill Rodimus Prime(who then countered with a higher offer to take out Cyclonus and Scourge). He was then mind controlled by Unicron, helped Rodimus confine Uni to the Matrix, then jumped into a Time Portal with Cyclonus and Scourge(which led him to meeting The Doctor and being shrunk to human size by said Doctor and sent through time).
"why is Zelda always having to go and rescue the princess?"
"that master spartan guy's halo gun is awesome"
"you think Metroid's gun is part of his suit or is it attached to his arm?
Again that's just getting people pissed at you, not dividing them into warring factions with people swinging from the lights and breaking long boxes over each others' heads.

Are space marines gay?
I forget who came up with taht during our invasion of the warp back in the day but it's never been topped.
Actually I think it would depend on the class of nerd/geek we are talking about...
Computer gamers
Table top gamers
Roleplayers
Comics geeks
Anime geeks
Computer geeks
Renfaire
Cosplayers
Of course most fit into several of these. So the real knock down dragout would be.... Which is superior.. and why?

Nah, that one's easy. The computer geeks will just hack into some websites and have us arrested for fraud or various other crimes before the fight is even due to take place.

But they might also be computer gamers, and have to split their opinion.
And to whoever didn't like Jar Jar... you know deep down inside of you that he made that movie the glorious thing it was.
I think most people would agree spiderman. He can throw cars like 100 feet into the air, can take getting hit by lead pipes in stride, has the webs, and the spider sense. Daredevils just really acrobatic and can see everything.
What if they agreed to an unarmed match? Are you saying boba fett has no honor?
Orkeosaurus wrote:What about omnipotence?
Yeah, I was about to say. There are tonnes of superpowers that give you immortality or that count immortality as an inherent part of the power. Just being immortal sucks, you'll get thrown into the sun or something.
It is not 'a' superpower it is all of them put together.
It's like wishing for unlimited wishes or saying your favorite food is a buffet. Clever wehn we were 11 years old, now it's just plain evading the question.
I think the best power to have would be the power of when you really need it you pull off the miracle that saves yours and everyone elses tail. And they shall call him Jesusman

Time/space manipulation could grant immortality. As could a high level of magical power. Matter control does it as well. Most characters with these ability are functionally immortal.

How about talking to fish? The fish could teach you how to be immortal.

No, but that one jellyfish might
As to superpowers, I'd say time travel a full knowledge of everything that is in time. Which I guess is almost omniscience. You can go forwards or backwards in time freely so you can obtain anything from any time and affect events so you are effectivly unkillable unless you choose etc... Just get immortalitortality from the future or by your psudo omniscience copy the immortality of annother and boom, unkillable, full reign over the universe!
Immortality in itself is useless.
An immortal can be buried alive in a steel tomb with no means of escape. If ever dug up they would probably be insane but still alive.
You know, furries are really just people like us, and it seems like people that hate on them are really just looking for an excuse to thump a bible. We really should be nicer to them.

But comic store book nerds hate furries AND religion. This will just confuse them.

Those sentences should only be uttered while holding a Bible, and prior to a discussion about the fact that RPGs are a form of demon worship.
Also, maybe a discussion of how Kirk's omnisexuality violates the book of Leviticus.
I'd actually give it to santa, because anything batman has, santa can pull out of his magic sack a counter to it. plus, santa can fly on his reindeer, and perform bombing runs on the area batman is at, until its nothing but scorched earth.

they are just as one sided as asking if space marines are gay. You didn't ask people to formulate questions that would evenly and conveniently divide a room of nerds into two sides for some jolly old verbal back and forth bushwhacking...

Apparently the secret to starting a nerd fight is starting a thread in a nerd forum.

I disagree, since homosexuality is a common element in many warrior cultures (especially Greeks and Romans) ad since you have 1000 men crammed into a fortress monestary with raging artificial hormones and no women...
I'd have a hard time saying Space Marines are not gay.
Whatevs. Bats is both smart enough and rich enough to have a Muramasa sword(because it can cut through Adamantium AND disables healing factors[I'm not making this up, folks at home!]) ready and waiting.

I should perhaps clarify that while I found Snyders take on DotD entertaining,Romeros original is of course the better of the two.
As to the "elephant in the room"...Han shot first...in fact Han was the only one to shoot at all.
Back in the day, the following wouldn't divide a comic shop too much. I mean, I guess there would be a few people making the obvious wrong choice*. However, nowadays there are a lot of young nerds who might tip the scales.

Anything else is revisionist.
Every righ thinking person should know that, but just walk into a comicbook store and declare greedo shot first then see what happens,another one that works on people I know is to start a discussion on why Batman has his own comic, he isnt a super hero and in fact is only a vigilante, who should be persecuted to the full extent of the law.
