    (I don't think Achilles was a god.)

    it's explained in Trials of Shazam that there are many beings that share the names of the power of SHAZAM, but the ones Captain Marvel gets his from are all gods

    i didn't make any sense right there at all

    No, I got ya. I think.

    Theres another guy in the DC universe named Achilles, who is a god, and the warrior with the bad heel I was thinking of got his powers from that god? Or something...doesn't matter to the fight, just curious. I know next to nothing about DC.

    Also: Yay! Hulk wins!

    You gotta remember, there are no hard facts in comics. Over the decades you've got thousands of writers and thousands of stories, they have contradicted in the past and they will contradict again in the future. You cannot state that "such and such is the way it will go. Period." with no debate, especially if the event has never actually happened in comics. And in this case, apparently the one time it has happened in comics, Thor did control Marvel's lightning, even if it was an out-of-canon story.


    You can't just start calling posters retarded and state your opinion as fact. It is your opinion that Thor could not affect Marvel's lightning. It is my opinion that at least the possibilty does exist.

    But there is no reason why Thor should be able to affect Marvel's lightning beyond the "hes a god lolz!" argument you bring up constantly. Which isn't valid, because Thor's power of lightning has never been shown to be absolute in the comics, and his power as a god is also limited, and far below that of Zeus.

    And I am freaking out because you people keep putting words in my mouth and ignoring valid arguments.

    And Hulk won.

    Good going.

    That is completely retarded. I hope you realize that. Because.

    You know.

    Hulk could never beat the Martian Manhunter.

    And J'onn has been ON FIRE.

    He was ON FIRE.

    And he HIT

    the FLASH

    with a TREE

    whilst

    ON FIRE

    THE FLASH

    TREE

    GOD





    I'm done now. I'm okay. It's just that it's retarded and you just don't know it.

    It's not retarded just because people disagree with you. You claim that people are totally ignoring valid arguements when you do the exact same thing yourself. Why should anyone listen to what you come up with when you simply dismiss the ideas of anyone that comes up with something in opposition to what you say?

    These fights are about opinion. You are not always right.

    I was talking about Hulk beating J'onn. It's retarded. Not because people disagree with me, but because the reasons why Hulk should win MAKE NO GOD DAMNED SENSE.

    I do not ignore valid arguments. I ignore dumb arguments.


    I'm sorry for being so zealous, though. I know that it's not very fun, but I just get very worked up about these things because things are just so obvious in my eyes.

    A large factor in my anger is the fact that none of you seem to know anything about the guys you vote against most of the time.

    Now here's the thing: it's not just Hulk vs. J'onn. Thor and Namor are there too. And you acknowledged the possibility that Thor could beat J'onn earlier in the match. It's possible that Thor beat J'onn before J'onn could beat Hulk.

    Geebs has discovered our secret!

    And it's possible that Thor could beat J'onn. But J'onn and Thor are still the most powerful guys there, and all three Marvel guys hate each other or at least strongly share an extremely strong dislike for each other, so they probably wouldn't team up.

    But J'onn being beaten by Thor before Hulk's defeat, while possible, isn't very plausible, because J'onn is so god damned powerful.

    Everything I bolded up there is a matter that is completely left up to your opinion. You personally decide if someones arguement is dumb, the outcome of the fight is easy to see, in your eyes and once again people vote in a way other than what you think and then all of a sudden it is a fact that they have no idea what they are doing.

    All of those things are your opinions, none of them are facts to anyone beyond yourself.

    I was making fun of people who treat fire like kryptonite because they know it's the only way J'onn would ever possibly lose to like 90 percent of these guys and I was just talking to Jordyn about this so why don't you shut up you dumb jerk.

    It's not retarded just because people disagree with you.

    No, it's retarded because people aren't playing this game the right way. When you need to explain your vote in the fight thread, "DURR I DON'T LIKE HIM HE LOSES" is not a valid explanation. That vote SHOULD NOT be counted because it doesn't even meat the very basic idea of what this tournament is about. It's not a popularity contest. It's dudes talkin' about their favorite comic book characters and coming up with fun and creative and obvious and whatever little fights. It's people like you who ruin it for the rest of us.

    I agree with Spectre. We're not pissed that J'onn lost as much as we are why - just look at some of the absolutely fucking retarded explanations posted in the fight thread. Anyway, I've called you out on this shit before, Marathon. You're one of the worst offenders of this entire tournament. I mean, you can't even bother to come up with your own explanations in the fight threads - you actually quote the morons we're up in arms about and use that as your vote. Hell, that makes you worse than them.

    Rant over. At least Wonder Woman and Thor made it.

    Head over to the vote threads and look at my breakdown for the fight with Thor, MM, and Hulk. I specifically state that Thor and Hulk team up and take down MM. Spectre has admitted that Thor alone could probably take him down. The two of them together would get it done for sure. Like I said, read my submission over, I give a perfectly acceptable reason for the way I voted. I don't care if you agree with it or not. It's there in an acceptable format or my vote would not be counted.

    Actually, to save you time ill add it here.

    Fight C:
    1) Thor - God of Thunder, wins due to his range of abilities.
    2) Hulk - The longer the fight goes on the stronger he becomes, loses points due to him not being able to fly. Familiar with Thor and Namor, each a possible ally.
    3) Martian Manhunter - If Supes and Marvel can team up to dominate their match I see no reason why Thor and Hulk can't do the exact same thing. Thor dominates him in the air and Hulk helps dish out the punishment on land.
    4) Namor - No water around, tough luck duder.

    I thought votes without adequate justification didn't count. I mean, that's why we justify our votes, right? Not that it would've made a difference, but I wouldn't have put Hulk a notch above Jonn in my vote if I thought there was actually a chance Jonn would lose.
