It is almost as laughable as Kate Beckinsale being chosen as the hottest woman in the world. Of course she is hot, but hottest in the world?

LOTR was almost unwatchable..Can't believe it is in the lead over The Godfather

It looks like I just brought Marvel closer and gave LOTR one extra cushion. It’s getting close.

I still don’t think Bond should be this far. Back to the Future is still better.

Good Lord, on a board that’s been visited by dbags like Big Smoke and Tigger, this may be the dumbest ****ing post I’ve ever read.

Nice job.

The original Star Wars is better than any single Xmen movie. The problem is that subsequent films in the franchise were so awful. Xmen hasn” had anything as terrible as The Phantom Menace.

The same is true for Indiana Jones. The original film is better than any single Marvel movie but Crystal Skull is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Marvel just hasn’t done anything comparably bad.

Xmen
Marvel
Bond
LOTR

DaFace 04-23-2019 11:24 AM

LOTR is pulling away from The Godfather, but the MCU is making a comeback!

Not to mention that Indiana Jones is an ORIGINAL creation instead of just copying and pasting shit out of comic books.

Indiana Jones directly borrowed from old serials and a old Charlton Heston flick.

DaFace 04-23-2019 01:46 PM

It hasn't happened yet this tournament, but I said from the beginning that a tie goes to the higher seed. So if Indy and the MCU end in a tie, the MCU moves on.

The biggest question is whether Bump is just blind or if he clicked the "Championship" line on purpose. In a contest as close as that first one, that could be the difference maker.

Easy 6 04-23-2019 05:28 PM

Godfather getting blown out by LOTR?

Absolutely RIDICULOUS

This.


And the iconic Indiana Jones trilogy (we'll just forget the 4th movie) losing to a CGI infested comic book conglomerate . . . . . . so sad. :shake:

patteeu 04-24-2019 07:55 AM

Indiana Jones is going to need a rally, but it's not the first tight spot he's ever found himself in.

Rain Man 04-24-2019 07:57 AM

Indy has escaped from tighter spots than this, and he doesn't have to rely on cheesy "superpowers" to do it.

Clearly the majority voting here are millennial nerds so prepare for a MCU vs LOTR final. Meh. Equivalent to that Ravens Niners SB a few years ago.

Hammock Parties 04-24-2019 08:29 AM

The only MCU character who holds a candle to Indy is Iron Man, and the sequels were mediocre at best.

This is an argument for quality over quantity.

DaFace 04-24-2019 09:03 AM

Indy 4 is a goddamn travesty. I'd take IM2 or 3 over that trash.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Temple of Doom compared to trash like Iron Man 3.

Iron Man 3 makes Doom look like The Godfather.

Here's the problem, as I previously posted. I'll give you the original Raiders as the best of the lot -- though honestly Infinity War/Endgame is going to end that most likely, given the initial reviews -- but then I'll match your Indy III with Ragnarok and from there it's all downhill for you. No movie in the MCU is as bad as 4. Temple MIGHT beat a movie or two -- Iron Man 3 being the lead candidate, but then the MCU has like 14 other movies or whatever left.

You might have Wilt Chamberlain, but I've got ****ing Bill Russell and a ****ton of other guys who trounce your guys. I'm winning this thing.

Hammock Parties 04-24-2019 10:04 AM

That's not fair, though. MCU gets more shots at the dartboard.

Percentage wise, Indy wins.

Hammock Parties 04-24-2019 10:10 AM

Indy, I love you!!!

Better series, in total, is all it is.

Look, I LOVE the Indiana Jones series, but if you're telling me i can take ONE movie series to a desolate island where all I'll have for entertainment are those DVDs, then it's not even close. Maybe Indy 1 is better than any of them, but I've got near-the-same quality and WAAAY more very high level quantity.

Hell, I like Godfather 1 better than Raiders and 2 probably about as much as Indy III, but I'd put the MCU ahead of them also.

Sorry Wilt...

Hammock Parties 04-24-2019 10:14 AM

MCU movies all have the same plotline though.

Booooring.

Beef Supreme 04-24-2019 10:15 AM

Cover your heart Indy. You 'bout to lose.

Hammock Parties 04-24-2019 10:19 AM

Listen to this man, people. This man knows his stuff.

(I think, though, that James Bond can beat MCU. Indy would have been a tougher draw for Bond.)

How is Marvel even in this discussion? About half of those movies are complete garbage

Wrong. Indy is batting .500. Temple isn't terrible, but 4 is one of the biggest pieces of trash out there.

There's a shitton of MCU movies, the huge majority of which are better than average to damn good.

Indy is batting .750 nlm

DaFace 04-24-2019 11:07 AM

Wow. The lead changed like 5 times this morning. I'm curious to know who the last-second voters were, but there aren't any logs for that, and I don't see any obviously questionable names on the list, so the result is the result!

Final Four incoming.

It's really bullshit to put up the entire MCU as a series really. The MCU is a bunch of different series. I get the argument but I still think it's crap.
