Agreed. I rather enjoy this section of the site. Between all the scans and discussion, it really is pretty good.Though I will say people are getting a little greedy with the scan begging.
The vrs forum used to be like this back in the days of Asian Hulk, A.C., kuntz 😆 and co.
Originally posted by UniOmniI agree, I think there are two steps involved when a member chooses a winner:
There may be a bias, but i doubt it's to Marvel itself.
Some people dislike certain characters, due to the way they're defended on boards.I never liked Wolverine, but now, i abhor him.
Same for Cap.
Same for Thanos.
Superman i argue against, but i love his stories all the same.But i'll say this. In the versus forum, there's a battle of Odin vs Sbp. And the reasons why many think Sbp wins, are to say lightly, shallow. And shyts on Odin's history.
And i can see, how someone might take a dislike to a character at times, due to overrating or underrating of other characters.
Superman fans might piss me off, and the writers especially at times, but i will always love DC for their books.
Until its revealed that Superman is the true son of Yahweh, and Bruce outpreps him for the Throne of creation. With a batarang no less.But until that day, DC will always be my first love.
I really do laugh at people who talk down an entire company, and hate the competition it brings to the table.
A monopoly on comics, will only shell out bad comics.
1. How they feel about the character. Superman is the perfect example, I dont think members are voting for a character but more so against the opponent. Wolverine and Superman are the two biggest examples I can think of.
2. Second I think that most back other people like( SS) for example against Superman because they dont want to sound out right spiteful of a character and need to take a logical person to beat them. This is why SS is like the poster child to defeating Superman although their are exceptions to the rule. Some are just outright fanboys.

One more thing, I think association is a problem two. Darkseid also doesn't get a lot of respect around here because many see him as Supermans punching bag despite his history. Sabertooth is another one since hes related to Wolverine.
Almost every comic I have that features Darkseid shows him getting stomped on by Superman or someone though

Meh, the forums were MUCH more Marvel Biased than they currently are.
I, honestly, think there isn't too much of a bias left right now. Obviously, certain POSTERS are biased one way or another, but the forum on the whole seems to be balancing on a pin head.

When I first joined, I noticed the EXTREME Marvel bias, but as of late it seems to have equaled out.People are starting to learn a little bit more about the DC characters, before they go into a certain thread and say that a much weaker Marvel character wins, just because they're from Marvel. 🙄
Guys I never saw the Marvel Bias, certain characters in Marvel perhaps but not Marvel as a whole.

The respect threads are a real help here,so i thank all of you out there!
Rules ,Rules ,Rules this is what i think is a major concern,see how many hits it gets?
People should understand the rules better,make a thread with stipulations,or they are automaticly standard rules,and not many know them,which lead to what seems like a close battle really is not when one character can BFR another and win,when they find out,they will not concede the match even if logic tells them
But once again i want to give props for all the people who made or even helped in a repect thread,the time you put in is evident,some of the threads are amazing,and i am always looking to improve my knowledge
Thanks Everyone
well if your one of the mindless drones who does not read and use your own reasoning,yeah they can be a problem,but thankfully i can use my own judgment
Like when a poster comes into a thread and states his law and all the little mindless ones agree without checking the info for themselves,yeah i can see your point
Originally posted by UniOmniSometimes respect threads are needed.
I honestly thing respect threads are the devil, since they give a onesided and bloated perspective most of the time.They're not a valid representation of how the characters are presented in comics usually.
Especially for highly underrated characters.
