maybe i should have pit van zan against a 5 gallon gasoline tank and a zippo lighter.
self immolation is BADASS

i suggest that 1 properly armed f-35 can take out pussypotterville on its own from 20 miles away maybe just let loose 3 or 4 a-10's and mini-gun the sissies.
no nukes

he had no arrows in either scenario. the arrow was spent. he chose to jump into a dragons mouth instead of making an easily possible escape attempt.
he chose suicide over escape./fact

Good so you agree Van Zan wins this. lol
Thank you for the tears. Topped himself in ROF, topped himself here.
This is it wasn't certain daeth for a character that was any good.
Van Zan could have jumped down the ladder, count the rungs very lets say 30ft then released/re-dropped and made himself useful.
The ladder was on the opposite side of the tower/chimmerly (which was built with heat in mind) He could have survived as the Drgon couldn't immolate the whole tower that quick, at the speed/distance at which it would have been when Van Zan jumped. (McClane could have done it, especially being explosion/fire proof these days.)

Really now? "Easily possible"? How's that? Even Rob said the chance of survival was very slim. There was only a .00003% chance he wouldn't get incinerated climbing down.
But all good action heroes turn 'slim' into 'certain'.
Its already showed that he could have jumped down the ladder and caught it then redropped a couple of times and got out the way. The dargon came in at such speed and its breaks werent that sharp, the dragon would have carried on through the top of the tower harmlessly above zan, then had to have flown its turning circle, recovering, as shown in the movie, by which time Van Zan would have been safely away.. helping the team by staying alive longer but noooooooooooooooo...... his suicidal tendancies won over again and he became one with dragon faeces.
He became fertilizer like a coward, now he fertilizes the lawn, heroically.
Denton the dunce dandy deftly dilligently and dexterously and ditched dilemmas defavourably and dove deliberately, definitely damnedly, demonstrated desire to be destructively devoured and dance the dance of death like a dildo with dragon doo doo it.

WTF does being "a good action hero" have to do with this thread? Van wasn't even the protagonist of the film. He wasn't even a hero, just an obsessed hunter.
Is there a slim chance he could have made it off the building? Yes. But that chance was so slim that it was virtually non-existent. Possible, yeah, but probable, absolutely not. There is a 98.9% chance that if he tried to run, the dragon would have incinerated the building. He's not McClane with plot luck powers. He can't defy the odds when they are so great against him. As you said, that's reserved for the protagonist, who wasn't Van.
But to the thread topic, okay, we established he committed suicide rather than defy the odds and make a highly improbable escape. What does that have to do with this thread? The circumstances aren't even in the same ballpark.
wtf kind of olympian mental gymnastics are you pulling off now?
whatever his faults he was still intended as a protagonist and yoda figure to quinn. he just wasnt a very good one, was he?

I guess he wasn't. How is that relevant to the thread scenario, or did you make this entire butthurt spite thread just to get me to admit Van wasn't a good protagonist? Quite excessive
Also, good job on the sig. Perhaps logic is not lost on you
uh...you brought it up. are you high now, or just upset beyond the capacity for rational thought?

Saddie brought it up, and I'm still unaware how it's relevant to the thread. Zan either destroys the woodchipper with an arrow or tips it over and walks away. /thread
