    Dear god, just did the draw for the next league, and all I can say is that to say that the first battle is camp wouldn't do it enough justice. :p

    Skeletor versus Dormamu?

    I think you may be confusing him with someone else?

    Bit of a bad start to this league. Pter, why didn't you voice dissent over Repulsa before the league started?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    That actually slipped by me. Sorry

    Was swapping quips with Galva.

    Include her if you want....Chopper makes some good points. I just think anything from PR doesnt have much street cred.

    I mean i could argue Scooby Doo has an unbeaten record against supernatural beings...doesnt mean he should be in.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,905 ✭✭✭✭Handsome Bob


    I agree on the Power Rangers thing but I was left with little recourse, you both wanted Magneto and Xavier out, and I had to be fair to both of you in regards to the characters that were put forward by y'all. Then again, The Crow and Dormammu are in it thanks to Chopper, he's got more than his fair share of input. :p:D

    I'm going to leave it as it is, I ****ed up anyway, I should have just called it the "Characters that don't fit in elsewhere league". ;):p

    Think he may have got the chop in favour of Dormammu or The Crow.

    The same way Darth is putting up a fight against Dormamu - people know Star Was better and just go for the familiar option. Like when the Joker somehow beat Doomsday..


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,826 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    I thought I put the nail in Darth's coffin quite well.

    Until Grames used a play on words to use it against you.

    I think I'll leave the internet forever when I see yoda defeat Cthulhu.

    Is it film version of The Crow or the Graphic Novel?

    Film Version ; Crow {The Bird} = Power

    Novel Version; Revenge = Power


    So film version would win, but novel prob not,......


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,905 ✭✭✭✭Handsome Bob


    I'd say the film version.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    Gotsta give the nod to Saruman, The Crow doesn't have any ring to destroy and Saruman has a fair few winged beasties on his side so they'd no doubt notice a plucky black birdy that isn't joining the fray.

    Saw this and am wondering if said user is confusing Saruman with Sauron...

    Isn't it much more exciting when the fights are close?

    Ah yeah, thought the Crow was dead and buried there. However within the wider context of the league he basically is exactly that, only the top 2 qualify.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    I am enjoying this mental battle between two geriatrics.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,905 ✭✭✭✭Handsome Bob


    These stalemates are boring LZ! He wants to start the awesome superhero league already. :p

    Movie Juggernaut is just a very strong mutant, but comic/toon Juggernaut has magic powers making him much stronger than any mutant.

    Man, all these X-men clips have me watching the 90s 'toon on Youtube. That was one quality programme. Wonder if it's available on DVD...

    Just being pedantic again, but hasn't Professor X played 2 now?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    Updated table:

    Dormammu P2 D+7 6pts
    Darth Vader P2 D+5 3pts
    Juggernaut P2 D+4 3pts
    Yoda P1 D+2 3pts
    Skeletor P2 D=0 3pts
    Professor X P2 D-4 3pts
    The Crow P2 D-6 1pts
    Saruman P2 D-6 1pts
    Gandalf P1 D-2 0pts


    Poor old Skeletor, after topping the table for so long he has now cruelly been eliminated.
    It's anyone's game in the top 4 (the top 3 qualify right?). Yoda needs only a draw against Gandalf in the final bout in order to qualify, or a big win to finish group winner. That said, Gandalf has a very slim chance at qualification, but needs a big win.
    It would take some kind of back from the dead ressurection for Gandalf to make it, but death didn't stop him the last time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Only top two go through


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    In that case Gandalf is boned.

    We still has another league in Clash of The Titans, then the final 16 fight to decide a champion. After that I have an all-human tournament waiting to go.

    Thor is powerful an all, but the fact is HE IS DEAD.

    And Buffy has killed gods and stopped worse. Does noone see my POV?
