Who would win?
« on: March 18, 2007, 10:39:47 PM »

This is a fairly classic game I'd be interested to have start here at teh Geekery. Pretty much anyone who's been very young at one point is familiar with it, so it likely needs no introduction, and I'm wasting space here by trying to create one despite the evident superfluousness of my efforts.

I shall begin.

Hannibal Lecter vs Sherlock Holmes

In a fight: Lecter (The guy took out a guard with a pen clip, damnit!  He's the Mcguyver of murderers! =P)
At catching a killer/evading the law: Holmes (Though if arrest came down to a fight, see 'In a fight')

I have to agree, Holmes was crafty, but Lecter eats people. It doesn't get more hardcore than that.

Still (just to be devil, or Lecter's in this case, advocate), Lecter managed to get caught by Will Graham in Red Dragon, and Holmes strikes me as many times more perceptive than Graham in any case. To be honest, they strike me as being quite similar (with the notable difference of one killing and eating people all the time of course).

Holmes > Moriarty
Moriarty > Lecter
Thus, Holmes > Lecter.

QED, and math don't fucking lie.

And before this detriorates into further imbecility, I am stating for the record that Batman > Spiderman. The end. I will not post in or look at this thread again. LALALALALALALAICAN'THEARYOU.

Lecter would eat Moriarty's liver. C'mon, even Holmes managed to finish him off! Just TRY and push Lecter's off a cliff, he'd sever some artery that would drop you before you'd even reached him. And yes, Batman could totally take Spider-Man.

But I'm glad we agree in re: Batman vs. Spiderman.

I guess the real problem here is that I haven't seen the Lecter films, nor read the books.

I've only seen the prequel that recently came out, and in it Lecter was a ninja, so we're really asking Ninja vs Sherlock Holmes.

Read the books.  They're far more descriptive of Lecter's history and talents.  The movies don't even begin to cover what makes him so awesome (and totally lethal).

Wrong!  Lecter was not a ninja.

Yeah, he was just trianed by a Japanese chick, he found his own style eventually. (Namely kill the poor bastard however you can utilising whatever's around and serve with mushrooms! =P)

It did seem to be going the way of the ninja at one point, was a little strange.

Though I did yell out 'HOLY FUCK HE'S A NINJA' in the theatre when he guts the butcher (he's wearing all black I think), if anything that gear in the movie was Samurai, and not ninja. However, I know next to nothing of old Japan save for the Wikipedia page on Haikus I read (none of mine qualify anymore, except for one about sharks that I'm a bit proud of).

Gandalf is a god though.  He is the Maiar referred to as "Olorin".

As nasty as Walter O'Dim really is, he'd get his ass handed to him against Gandalf in his full glory.
