Wolverine vs. Spider-Man

"The people who actually take the time to think about these things are actually fewer than the others."

Actually, on this forum i'm inclined to disagree here. This whole forum is based on the premise that people are actually thinking about which character will win. I'm going to say that the majority of people posting here and voting here, are doing it for the right reasons.

"Not everyone who votes in these really thinks about it. That's the way democracy works. That's how Lobo was beaten by wolverine."

Not everyone who votes in these doesn't think about it.

In the end its still ad populum. Simply because a large number of people think that something would be one way or the other doesn't make it so.

Afterall, a large number of people used to think that the world was flat, or that disease was caused by bad smells. Or that the sun revolved around the Earth.

That's rather naive reasoning. and It also sounds like justification to use the poll as actual evidence.

And we can argue around in circles. Polls are not viable evidence in such things other than what the larger percentage of the population thinks.

How is it naive? I think just assuming all your peers on this forum are treating it as a popularity contest is wishful thinking. For instance, Creshok, I respect your reasons for debating enough to think that if you were to vote in the poll, you would vote for who you think would win. Am I wrong to be giving you the benefit of the doubt?

If someone were to start a Superman vs. Wolverine poll do you think Wolverine has any chance of getting that majority of the votes? I sure as hell don't. If anything, by your reasoning Wolverine should be winning this poll because he is more popular than Spiderman. (As far as Marvel thinks anyway)

And the "people thought the world was flat" is strained comparison to Wolverine vs. Spiderman. It doesn't work very well. If the majority of comic book fans think Spiderman will own Wolvie then i'd trust that. That is until, you know Galileo comes back from the dead and proves without a doubt that Wolverine will beat Spiderman.

With that said, I think the poll helps the Spiderman winning argument; but I don't think it should have any real heavy leverage in the argument itself.

My original post about the poll was more or less a smartass remark. 🙂

Glass is half empty kinda thing huh?

"Anyvotes that he does get would obviously be popularity votes. Unless they have a really, really good reason for Wolverine winning. . "

The fact that Superman would win the poll should provide evidence that the people on this forum, in general, made the right choice when they voted.

I know that you don't vote in polls, but "if" you did, i'm pretty sure you would make your decision for the right reasons.

Yea, these really good reasons for wolverine winning come right out of peoples butts.

Spiderman doesn't have anything on Wolverine anymore, he can't win.

Wolverine can break out of the webbing and take spiderman's punches, but a little scratch and spidey goes down. 😆

exactly, you just said dug a deeper hole for yourself, ANYMORE, just showing how souped up he is.

If wolverine is "breaking" out of spidey's webbing, I call it a day, once he is sent across the room from DD, then he takes punches from namor without falling, hah funny. AT least spiderman was released with upgrades and wasn't used interchangibly in debates by yet another wolverine fanboy.He shouldn't be breaking out of his webbing , he cant even break spideys grip by brute strength, you sound like a fool, GO LEARN YOUR FACTS.

P.S. spiderman has taken more than a "scratch", before he went down. Man if I have to explain the proficiencies between slash,thrust,pierce,and scratch, i will be dissapointed and wil be putting you onthat good ol ignore list.

Guess spidey's strength is inconsistant. Best not use it. 😉

"Oh he's not souped up, but he can take wolverine."

You'd have to soup him up beyoned what Marvel has inoreder to take wolverine as AMrvel has never had Spiderman being able to knock out wolverine. But go ahead and keep ignoring that fact, since you don't like it. 😉

"I don't like it so it never happened"

I rest my case, that's the argument you've so cleaverly hidden. You don't like it so it didn't happen. Typical. 🙂

Go live in denial and put me on ignore if it helps you feel good about yourself little boy. 😉

hey,you think the correct wolverine is the weak one that is okay.

anyone whodoesn't see wolvies inconsistency do to popularity, is in denial, blind, or a wolverine fanboy.........

Bottom line,a wolverine aint breaking out of that webbing without those claws, and to say that after he has held much stronger like the things and such , makes you sound like a fool or a wolverine fanboy, whichever is worse,
This ain't gettin through that thick skull do you have adamantium inthere, oh and his stomach is open and it clearly says that wolverine can die from organ loss inthose stats, don't change that around fanboy,

Oh and I think I hear your wife calling you, I think she wants you to do something constructive, instead of trying to seduce "boys" online with winking smiley's

You wouldn't last five minutes in a barracks.

nah, you don't like me because I'm black, but anyway,don't you want to be more mature, and where was the last jab, its shown that people who waste so much time arguing with each other grow to like each other, it is wierd like that. Some of my best friends were guys that I could not stand at one point, I actually have no resentment against you, you should know that guys insult all the time. "Just come out the shell''

You act like i reported to a moderator or something.
