I really dug the idea that if you really wanted to substitute He-Man for Orion, Skeletor for Darkseid, the Sorceress for Highfather, Castle Greyskull for the Source, etc. the movie would still be fundamentally the same.

Plus, the scene late film where Lundgren yells "I have the power!" is so over the top and ridicuously epic.

He-Man was ok afterward. Superman was mystically controlled. He-Man was without the Sword of Power, which in those days definitely could've cut/hurt Superman. Glean from those what you will. Imo, it's a non-feat all-around.




They did. How old are you?


That seems pretty conclusive to me that the one not facing the ground and getting ready to enter the castle is the one who had the advantage in the end.

Im old enough to have purchased the comic when it came out. Imagine that stick out tongue

Indeed.

It was the first movie I ever saw at the cinema, and even when I watched it again recently, I still found myself loving it. I don't care that it wasn't like the Filmation cartoon (which I also loved); it's just too much fun.

I was trying to watch it again, to see if I was being prejudist, but oh lord, I could not watch it, my eye sockets started burning. evil face

Neither has superman. Nearly every incarnation of superman is as strong as the plot demands. That's how he goes from pulling moons with help to lift a book that contained the multiverse itself with help.

This is rather explicitly written into HM comics (can't speak for the newest incarnation, but he's new and I haven't been following it yet). As plot devices go, it's insanely convenient. So, as I said, a case could be made for strength alone.
Its called no limit fallacy.
quote:
HM's overall feats don't necessarily support him getting wins, but it's a crossover after all, which are almost exclusively created as fan service. I wouldn't rule anything out, except that they'll probably be shown as near-equals much of the time. Even if I'm shown to be wrong in the upcoming comic, it's a good guess. I'm working based on lopsided precedent, which doesn't mean certainty, but can and should inform our prognostications.
That's good enough for me.

quote:
I'm not sure I get the Thor question. It doesn't seem to respond to or counter anything I said. Based on my assessment, which itself was generalized and not without exception, Thor should lose to Supes.
Superman beat Thor, got attacked by Avengers and still got up by the same time thor did. Maybe I should've said Dreamwar, written by Giffen.

Every elite top hero is as strong as the plot demands so you agree even ground.

Barely beat Thor who you say is Ww level and was easily kod by the team and could barely stand after a one on one fight.

laughing out loud

Yeah, you think Superman will dominate He Man and we will see. Lets bet and make this interesting.

You said they should make a live action movie, when there is one. Forgive my confusion. I'll turn on my internet telepathy next time.

Dreamwar wasn't canon for DC characters. They were creations of a reality warper that made the Doctor look like he was playing tiddly-winks. I've seen the "he modeled them after the characters as closely as possible" argument, and that's true, for what it is. But it's also still a kid imagining stuff. Would you consider the dream-induced hallucinations of a 14-year-old KMC poster canon to a character? Also, Majestic doesn't have a rabid fan army. My earlier comments about the big guys in respective universes and crossovers stand. Is it possible HM gets the same treatment? Sure, anything's possible. Is it likely? Search yourself, young Skywalker, you know the truth. And the Thor stuff still doesn't disagree with anything I've said. I'm really not sure that we're even having the same conversation here.

Also, lulz at "that's good enough for me," as if that matters in the slightest. I'm trying to have a conversation, and you're trying to win some imaginary war because you think I slighted your fan crush. A case could be made that HM is as strong as Superman, or slightly greater than depending on incarnation and need. Not proof, but a case. And two, Superman should win in a fight. Do you disagree with either of those? It sounds like you don't. Then wtf are you trying to prove?

I think I should have said a "new" live action movie.

Your e-telepathy should have worked when I said I purchased the comic when it came out originally. 1982...

Thanks. I doubt I ever will, especially in the vs. forum where I've been "gone" much longer than even my KMC activity would suggest. That forum has annoyed me probably for longer than it hasn't in my near-decade on KMC. But I enjoy popping in.

It may not be canon but it gives an idea of how DC views both character.

He-man does?

We'll see.

The point is that Superman wouldn't be revealed as weaker to another hero in a crossover. It undermines his whole character.

Lawl @ you thinking of you doing something like that. You present your own fantasy here.

No. I would like to see that case.

I disagree with the first option.

Nothing. I'm just having a friendly conversation.

Relative to Majestic, absolutely. Even relative to Thor, pre-movies. I wouldn't be surprised to see the HM/Superman fight go similarly.

It undermines his fandom's persona of him, I agree. I'm not even a huge Superman fan, but I'm pretty sure "I'm more powerful than anyone" isn't the central theme of his character. If Pr wants to get dragged in here, I'm sure he could corroborate this with something that doesn't involve his "whole character" revolving around who punches who the hardest.

Looks cool. Giffen is at the helm so I'm all over it.

On a related note, wtf can't anyone make a decent MOTU cartoon? Both attempts have been terrible imo.

I'd insert some fan rage here for the original cartoon, but it really doesn't hold up well.

The amount of right in this paragraph is immense.

Also, I used to like that last cartoon they had. It was all intense movements and hard hitting attacks. Yeah, it was a fun watch

Not sure how I'd like it now though

I've been reliving my childhood through reruns on the qubo channel. You're right, it looks and sounds like ass even for an 80's show. Still get a kick out of the aftershow life lessons though LOL.

It was great as a kid but yes rewatching some of it now really demonstrates it targeted very young kids.

LOve Skeletor to this day from the 80's toon. Far better than Hordak.

That's just your opinion. You'll be surprised how many majestic or thor fans are out there.

Not exactly.

You'd be wrong then. Its a central theme of his character since golden age. He is a measure of strength long before He-man was little else than a concept.

I don't know about that. Pr is too modest about superman's capabilities.
