    So this got posted and boy howdy what a mess.
    • Happy being on the $2 tier must be either a joke or some sort of residual contract stipulation for Favreau. Aunt May could beat him up.
    • Scarlet Witch on the same tier is insane - she's like top three most powerful.
    • Widow on the top tier only makes sense if that's restricted to the OG team, which, OK, that's a reason, but it's dumb and also Hawkeye is one tier down so it's not even that.
    • Hawkeye three tiers above the likes of War Machine and Vision (!) is obviously insane.
    • You could argue Cap deserves a top tier spot for his tactical and inspirational abilities.
    • Groot, and baby Groot at that, at the $3 tier I mean what is wrong with you?
    • I can spend $7 and pretty much beat up the rest combined. Doctor Strange, Wanda and Vision: boom, everyone else is dead or in another dimension in about two seconds. Maybe Loki gets away but he sure af isn't sticking around to save Clint from getting instantly skewered by magic. Maybe Thor as well.
    • Also where is Carol? Fucking Happy gets on the list and no Carol? For shame, Entertainment Weekly. For shame.

    The best way to get traction for a pop culture tweet is to include obviously bad takes, so congratulations EW, enjoy being talked about by angry nerds I guess

    Also how the fuck is Hawkeye on the same level as Spider-Man

    For the price of Hawkguy, you can have Rocket, Bucky and War Machine. One bow n' arrow or ALL THE GUNS?

    Oh brilliant
  • BogartBogart Streetwise Hercules Registered User, Moderator mod
    • $5 Cap, Tony, Hulk, Carol, Thor, Wanda
    • $4 Vision, Strange, Loki, Black Panther (you have to take the fact that he runs a country and has an army into account)
    • $3 Spider-Man, War Machine, Ant-Man, Wasp
    • $2 Falcon, Quicksilver, Drax
    • $1 Widow, Hawkeye, Star-Lord, Nebula, Gamora, Bucky, Rocket
    • $0 Happy, Groot

  • ShadowfireShadowfire Vermont, in the middle of nowhereRegistered User regular
    I don't know if I would put Groot in the $0 tier. He's done some shit in those movies that at least put him on the tier with Drax.

    It's baby Groot in the picture, so that's who I'm placing. Adult Groot would be $1, I think. I hemmed and hawed about putting Rocket higher because of his tech skills as well.

    I'd move Vision and Strange up to $5 since they're both powered by infinity stones

  • daveNYCdaveNYC Why universe hate Waspinator? Registered User regular
    I'd have Carol at $6 or $7. The only ones who might be able to take her in a fight are Loki and Strange because they're packing magic, and even then I wouldn't put a lot of money on it.

    Shut up, Mr. Burton! You were not brought upon this world to get it!
  • ForarForar #432 Toronto, Ontario, CanadaRegistered User regular
    I think Groot's various killing sprees (Guardians 1 and Infinity War are standing out) put him a bit higher than $0. Unless you're saying he's so good he should be a freebie for everyone?

    First they came for the Muslims, and we said NOT TODAY, MOTHERFUCKER!

    The picture is of Baby Groot.

    Based on the shenanigans of gotg 2, I feel the point stands.

    I'd want more questions answered before I commit to choices.
    Like, has Rocket been given access to the standard Box of Scraps? If so I assume he's now equipped himself with something that can melt through vibranium or whatever he needs.

    Going purely by bodycount, Happy got that one guard in IM2, and Baby Groot got a Ravager and a space rat, so he's ahead. Plus maybe whoever that toe belonged to. Oh, and a planet (assist points at least).

    Nobody remembers the singer. The song remains.

    Baby Groot is $5 based on the power of cuteness.

  • GyralGyral Registered User regular
    God, this is just as bad a the TOP 50 lists on Rolling Stone and Kerrang! Still, give me the entire $1 and $2 tiers bitches.

    You can always expect nerds to make what is essentially a popularity quiz into a power tier argument.

    I mean nerds do yeah, but I think the rank goes Anime Fans, Smash Players, ARPG players, Console purists, and THEN we've also got to factor in oth-

    I think it's funny that they have hawkeye higher than loki when if memory serves, it took loki around 1 second to make Hawkeye his slave

    Yeah but Jeremy Renner probably made more per movie than Tom Hiddleston.

    Again: he has done some shit. Adult Groot is almost bulletproof--space-bulletproof, even--better with area attacks than Drax, and can regenerate (slowly) from a lot of injuries, so he would definitely be at the $2 level, but baby Groot has killed armed, grown aliens, so he should at least be $1.

    Also, Valkyrie's not even listed on either chart but should be in the $4 tier, at least.

    That chart is lame and reductive.

    Instead, lets debate a far more engrossing question:

    Which three MCU characters would you bring with you on a bachelor/bachelorette party?

  • ShadowenShadowen Snores in the morning LoserdomRegistered User regular
    Valkyrie, Thor, Loki. To either/both.

    I will not be taking questions at this time.

    I dunno, I think Tony Stark can make more fun and interesting things happen during a bachelor party than anyone else, if he's actually into it and trying to make it a good and fun time.

    Except he's a total asshole nobody actually likes. I laugh at him on screen, but I would hate to be around him.

    Tony Stark would be a horrid partymate.

    He'd tell you marriage SUCKS, try to convince you to sleep with someone, and then get super drunk & cry about Pepper.

    It's a trade off. Like, if he actually put the effort in to make it dope, I'm confident that it'd be better than anything anyone else could put together. And then you put up with him being an asshole.

    It's like, do you want a pretty good party or do you want the best party ever but you have to put up with an asshole.
