WHO... WILL... WIN?

[thehefner]

Inspired by 777666's Penny Arcade LJ icon, and from the minds of cats_n_crying and fiveseconddelay comes a battle of epic proportions. The Trojans lost the war. NOW THEY'RE PISSED. Yes, in the great geek pastime of "Who would win in a battle between..." comes...



I really wish I had/knew how to use photoshop, so my lowly paint program had to do for now. Yeah, I know, I'm ghetto. And the damn jpeg format muddled up the lettering, I should have saved as another format, but ah well, the idea is conveyed, I think.

But yeah, seriously. Who would win? It's Greeks vs. Trojans- THE REVENGE!

My vote's for Lawrence, Hulk, Legolas, and Julie, but that's just me.

The hard part about this fight is that most people don't know who half the characters are. I mean, Hulk and Legolas, sure, but who knows who Sharpe, Monk, or Miss Julie are? That said, do you know where Miss Julie comes from? It's a two-degrees connection to something amusing that you introduced me to.

[ortugatay.livejournal.com]

Y'know, I actually don't know who Miss Julie is. But now I'm curious, so do tell.

It's Misty's favorite movie for one thing, that's how I learned about it, based on the play of the same name by August Strindberg. I assume the name should ring some bells. It's really worth seeing, one of the great naturalist plays of all time.

Bells are indeed ringing. ;-) I'll have to look into the play, also. Thanks!

I give it to Tyler, Sharpe, Sabertooth, Lector and Monk because

1. Legoloas is a queer and i despise Elves with a passion.

2. Hulk am stupid and easily distracted by shiny things, plus lector's a master of psychology, he'd calm banner down.

3. Sabretooth has no qualms and would kill Lawrence and Julie with out thinking twice.

4. Monks a big pissed of irish guy with a club, no one can beat a big pissed off irish guy with a club.

I'm with you for the most part, but a couple points. In a fistfight, yeah, Sabretooth would beat Lawrence, but then again, he'd also beat Lecter in a fistfight. Lawrence, like Lecter, is pure strategist, so don't count him out entirely. In this battle we'd want to carefully play each fighter to his/her strengths.

That said, you may hate Legolas, but remember, he's a scary good archer. As Ollie, you must respect the skill of a bow and arrow, as well as the power behind that. That said, destroy the bow and I don't think Legolas has much to offer other than his dazzling looks, which means jack squat to the Greeks.

And I second that one about Monk. You're one of the only people who knows who he is, and you know how much of a badass he is, even without the club.

haha, troy harder.

*stares in awe* HOLY SHIT!!

I have to go with Lawrence, Hulk, Legolas, and Julie, because of the fact that I love legolas and if he were real I would marry him, because half of the women in the world would be dead!

Oh by the way I love you cause you made this......I just thought that I should reaffirm what should already be known. Anyway that is my two cents have a nice day.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

I had very much hoped you'd see this. I knew you'd love it. Thank you, dearie.

[disc-sophist.livejournal.com]

I adore you.

p.s. Sharpe would destroy them all with his mantastic 95th Rifles charm.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

It's for people like you especially that I waste my time with stuff like this.

BTW, when considering Sharpe, I was also considering instead using Agent 006 or Macbeth. I think I made the right decision, but still, it would have been intriguing either way.

BWAH-HAH-HAH!!!

[eldridgeprime.livejournal.com]

That is just too funny!

Wow... Hard choice. But I would bet on The Trojans as they have the Hulk. And are all the Good Guys. Ones that always won, btw. Except for a Shining Good Guy in Sharpe, the rest are not so good or down right evil and, no matter their coolness factor, they did lose. Hannible - Captured. Sabertooth - beaten and captured. Tyler Durtan - lost and eradicated.

See. They are losers. And the Trojans have the Hulk. No body beats the Hulk.

Re: BWAH-HAH-HAH!!!

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Ahh, but as to the Trojans, they are not all winners. After all, Lawrence ultimately failed in his mission to unite the warring mideast factions (though he kicked a lot of ass along the way, admittedly) and Miss Julie didn't exactly have the happiest of endings, if you recall (honestly, I don't know who else here besides Misty will even have heard of the play/movie Miss Julie).

As for Lecter, yes, he was captured intially, but eventually escaped and still has not been recaptured. The only reason he was caught was because he was caught by Will Graham, who was able to get into Lecter's mind and think he way he thinks.

And also, as surrealname before mentioned, Lecter's a master of psychology. If seeing Betty can calm the Hulk down, even turn him back into Banner, Lecter's scary brilliance just might be able to talk Hulk down. Bear in mind, in a battle of wits between Hulk and Lecter, who'd you think is gonna win?

Oh, and I don't know if you've seen Gangs of New York, but Monk is a good guy. A good guy with lots of blood on his hands, but a good guy.

Dude, I've gotta go with Lecter's team. Simply because you're promoting the Cox version of the good doctor. Hell, he alone could take on the elf's pansy-ass troupe.

BTW, I'll be making a visit to WAC in the relatively near future. I expect you'll be joining me for a drink or two at Andy's while I'm in town?

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Heeeheheee, it pleases me that you like the Cox Lecter. And yeah, I'd kind of suspect Lecter could manipulate both sides, have them kill each other off, and then go off to enjoy some fine Trojan wine. Assuming the Trojans had wine.

And yes, my dear, it would be an immense pleasure to go to Andy's with you! Please let me know! You have my e-mail and my IM. Thanks for casting your vote!

[surioara.livejournal.com]

I'd kind of suspect Lecter could manipulate both sides, have them kill each other off,

Precisely. Dear Dr. Lecter is the Prince of whom Machiavelli wrote, if you ask me. A bit more sadistic, a bit more deviant perhaps, but he embodies Machiavellianism so nicely, don't you think?

Besides, I'm rather partial to Lecter since he (theoretically) scored the same way on the Myers-Briggs personality test that I do. Us INTJ's have got to stick together! And Cox plays him so elegeantly. . . his Lecter is so much more subtle and refined than Hopkins' slightly smug villan. That isn't to say I don't like Tony's work. He's smashing in Silence. But given the choice, I'd have to say Cox is far more dapper than Hopkins.

And I'll hunt you down when I hit campus. I'll hopefully be down within the next month.
