Posted by spectre se7en On 10:53 PM 2 comments


The Scenario
Everyone seek shelter!!! Better yet, make sure you're on the other side of the planet.  This showdown is sure to destroy a few continents and possibly end humanity as we know it.  Logic says that an unstoppable force and an immovable object cannot both exist at the same time.  Logic is wrong because Chuck Norris and the Most Interesting Man exist and they are about to collide.

The Epic Showdown has begun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The Showdown Facts:
  • Chuck Norris counted to infinity...twice.
  • The Most Interesting man is not afraid to show his feminine side...if he had one.
  • Some people wear Superman pajamas.  Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas.
  • The Most Interesting man's charm is so contagious, vaccine's have been created for it.
  • When the boogeyman goes to sleep at night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.
  • The Most Interesting man's mother has a tattoo that reads, "Son"
  • Chuck Norris sleeps with a pillow under his gun.
  • The Most Interesting Man's enemies list him as their emergency contact.
  • Chuck Norris's first job was a paperboy.  There were no survivors.
  • The Most Interesting Man never says something tastes like chicken...not even chicken.

EPISODE 2 WINNER: VADER

Posted by spectre se7en On 10:17 PM

After hearing the arguments both online and offline, a winner has been determined.  The winner is... LORD VADER.

Many points have been raised. The strongest argument in favor of Voldemort is that he has separated his soul into 7 pieces all of which need to be destroyed in order to truly kill him.  However, this is Epic Showdowns, not Celebrity Deathmatch.  A showdown is exactly that.  This does not mean a victor is decided in a fight to the death.  It can simply mean, "who will win in a confrontation between A & B".  In this case if Vader and Voldey decide to get into it, who comes out on top for that confrontation.  This isn't about Vader having to destroy Voldey completely, he just needs to come out on top in this confrontation in order to win.

The strongest argument against Voldey is that as a Wizard, he depends heavily on the use of his wand, and the ability to physically speak his spells in order to cast them.  If Vader were to disarm him of his wand, and use the force to choke him, he would have no problem taking advantage of this situation and taking him down.

In star wars, "The Force" is a life form that surrounds all living things.  Those gifted in their command of the Force can manipulate this life force and do some really bad things.  This works against Voldey.  If Voldey has no knowledge of the Force, then would he have the ability to resist it and defend against it?  Probably not right away.  Vader could quickly disarm him, much like Vader did to Han Solo when he disarmed him in cloud city.  Without his wand, Voldey is vulnerable.  Vader puts the choke hold on him and either crushes his wind pipe or slices him in half with is light saber.

Also, since Vader is mostly machine, and only partially living in the flesh, Voldemort might have a difficult time knowing right away which spell would affect him most, again advantage Vader.

Too much stacks against Voldemort in this one.  Looks like Voldey has fallen victim to the Dark Side of The Force this time.

Episode 2: Lord Vader vs. Lord Voldemort

Posted by spectre se7en On 10:52 PM 5 comments


The Scenario
Forget what you know about Darth Vader at the end of Return of the Jedi (pasty old fossil in life support suit).  This version of Vader is Tall, Dark and Ruthless.  He's just finished his beatdown on the Jedi, proving that their soft, sensitive side of the force is no match for the power of the Darkside.  When he and Kenobi fought the first time, he was but an apprentice, now he is the Master...but there's one problem...There's a new Lord "V" in town who thinks he's the darkest of them all.  


Lord Voldemort, is Dark Wizard who can talk to SNAKES! Did anyone see Vader talking to that snake/worm thing in the trash compactor on the detention level of the Death Star?  Oh SNAP!  Voldemort is hell-bent on proving that his wizardry is more lethal and crafty than the dark side of the force.  Good old Voldey is the most talented wizard to ever walk the halls of Hogwarts and that's no joke.  Dumbledore said it himself.  He who shall not be named is ready to prove that some muggle with a laser sword and lame choke holds is no match for a wizard and his wand.


The Showdown Facts:
  • Vader is a master with a light saber, an extremely powerful weapon
  • Vader has command of the dark side of the force, which grants him the ability to physically harm and even kill an individual.  It also gives him the power to manipulate  the environment around him and control physical objects.
  • Vader's body is mostly cybernetically enhanced, which possibly gives him superior strength.  However, he also depends on these cybernetics to breath and stay alive.
  • Voldemort is possibly the most talented spellcaster in the magic world with the ability kill with the flick of his wand.
  • Voldemort has dispatched rmany a talented spellcaster. 
  • Voldemort can fly and teleport himself through magic
  • Voldemort could be more powerful in terms of magic vs. force, but is inferior to Vader as it relates to physical combat.
State your case for this Showdown and explain who you think will win this match and why.  The most convincing arguments for either side will help determine the outcome.

Episode 1: 10 Emo Kids vs. The Tin Man - UPDATED: The Winner Is...

Posted by spectre se7en On 11:07 AM 9 comments



The Scenario
A group of 10 emo kids are fed up with life (big surprise).  Normally they would take their frustrations out on themselves with self-inflicted wounds, but not this time.  They want to pound something, and sure enough, the first thing they see is a mysterious woodsman made of Tin. Wearing a pair of their little sister's designer jeans, and armed with their older  ("he's such a stupid jock, gawwwd!!!!") brother's wooden baseball bat, they're ready to give the Tin Man a beatdown!

Enter, The Tin Man.  The Tin Man man has no heart at the moment.  He's got nothing to lose and he's a little frustrated with as well.  He often wonders why he's made of Tin?  Tin metal dents like a mother and rusts like no other.  On top of that, his maker gave him this ridiculous funnel hat that blows steam for no good reason, and metal bow tie that makes him look like a tool. The Tin Man takes out his Oil Can, lubes up his joints, grabs his axe and is ready to break something fragile and weak. Look what we have here! A group of emo boys with wooden bats.  PERFECT!

The Epic Showdown has begun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The Showdown Facts:
  • Emo Kids are fragile both physically and emotionally.
  • Their I.D. says 16 yr. old Male but their weak arms say 10 year old girl.
  • Emo Kids outnumber the Tin Man, 10 to 1, but the 10 man has the strength of 10 Emo kids combined
  • The Tin Man has a powerful swing and a brutal axe, but he's a bit slow and clunky
  • The Tin Man dents easily
State your case for this Showdown and explain who you think will win this match and why.  The most convincing arguments for either side will help determine the outcome.

UPDATE: WINNER - TIN MAN!!!
 Your voices have been heard and the results are in. 

A couple of interesting arguments were made for both sides.  The first point: The Emo Kids getting emotional and crying tears which will rust the tin man.  Assuming they cry enough and the tears dry fast enough, this could have been devastating to the Tin Man.  However, Rhiannon's rebuttal to this argument was enough to make the Tin Man the winner. The amount of hair product used by Emo Kids, mixed with the moisture of their tears, would have provided more than enough lubrication for the Tin Man to keep him hacking and slashing through these frail little things.
