John McClane versus Indiana Jones

so you are saying that McClane doesnt have an amazing amount of luck?

Sure he does.

I just never cared for what became of him in the sequels. He went from a scared nobody into an Arnold Schwarzenegger character.

I couldn't have put it better myself. Die Hard is an American classic, while the sequels were repetetive and recycled, in my opinion.

remember when Indy takes on a whole german batallion in the last crusade?

Indy.

Indy hands down.

✅

Indy has the intellect behind the power of his fists. Not that John McClaine isn't intelligent, but I think Indy has him beat.

Indiana Jones is second to only Jeremy Paxton.

Indiana Jones dicked on a bunch of real Nazi's. John McClane done similar to a bunch of German men in suits. Slightly different.

I find it ridiculous how they made McClane from scared guy who gets lucky and kills a bunch of terrorists (die hard 1) to the guy that kicks the shit out of anything that moves and kills anyone he wants. (die hard 4)

I'm still cheerin' for Indy.

Oh come on, dude, McClane was a ****ing badass in the first one already.

so was Indy in ROTLA.....point?

oops.

Stalemate if both are in their prime.

Is McClane ever shown pwning three soldiers h2h at the same time? I think not.

Only becuase that would have been two many for McClane.

3 WHOLW SOLDIERS....???!!! WOW...!!!! I guess it cant POSSIBLY be as impressive to take out a moving plane and 20 odd fort bragg trained marines WITH A ZIPPO... 😛

I would question Indy's zippo skills against McClane's too.

Genetically he is lighterly-challenged, as evidenced by his dad's shitness with a zippo in IJaTLC, a brief moment of zippoing which burnt Indy a bit and burned down the room that they were in. Not to good.

Well of course McClane sets people on fire better, but this thread is h2h combat. You know, that thing that McClane sucks at.

BTW, again, no weapons, just h2h. I wasnt very clear on the setting, so I guess.....A bare room? Yeah, a bare room, nothing hanging on the walls, no tables, no chairs. A well lit bare room with steel walls and floor.

A zippo isnt a weapon, technically.

If you are searched by a cop and you are found to have an unlicenced Beretta on you, and an unlicenced Zippo on you.......

Guess which one you get arrested for...?

So McClane has his zippo, what's he gonna do with it? It's a bare metal room, nothing flammable in it.

He'll be able to see in the dark.

Or burn all the oxygen in the room, and outlast his enemies as they all suffocate, due to his luck and endurance, obviously.
