Nomak and his Reapers versus the Darkseekers......

Nomak, (Blade II), is in New York city after the "I am Legend" virus has wiped out 90% of humanity. Just like in the movie, the Darkseekers are everywhere. Nomak has a small army of Reapers with him, their numbers just as strong as the Darkseekers.

Nomak and his army of Reapers decide to claim New York city as their own, and the Darkseekers must fight to defend their......well...."Turf."

Can Nomak and the Reapers defeat the Darkseekers? The fight takes place at night, obviously, and it is all over the city.

I think Nomak and Crew take it. Did the Darkseekers have any significant feats that make them potential threats to the Reapers?

Yeah, one shoulder blocked Neville's SUV several feet, they were fast as hell and could leap around like the Reapers.

Hmmm, well it seems like the Darkseekers are a peg down strengthwise from Nomak himself, although I didn't see enough of the standard Reapers to gauge their strength, although they're durable as all hell. plus they have a super effective healing factor. For those 2 reasons, plus Nomak on their side, I see the Reapers taking a majority, especially since Nomak himself will be wrecking shop.

Nomak is a Juggernaut, I agree, but I don't think it'll be an easy win. Same on the standard Reapers, we didn't see enough of them to judge. From what I gathered, the Reapers feel pain, whereas the Darkseekers do not.

True enough, but the Reapers heal, while the Seekers just don't register pain.

And I assume that with as many numbers as they had, a fair number were canon fodder, while Reapers were wrecking shop across the board, even the nameless ones.

What's the bigger advantage? Not feeling pain, or healing?

It depends, if you don't feel pain, you can keep fighting, but you can be hurt beyond the point of fighting.

If you have a Reaper healing factor, then you can keep going anyway. besides, I didn't see the Reaper's become incapacitated from pain.

Remember the Reaper the blood pack found and dissected? He was pretty useless.

I think it would depend on numbers. Didn't Neville say that 90% died...1% were immune and the rest of them reacted by turning into the "darkseekers" (I hate the term) and they killed the rest of the survivors?

Population of 8,350,000 ish would mean there were 751,500 potential "darkseekers" in New York City.

So I guess it would depend purely on how many of Nomak's reapers there were. I don't think we see more than a hundred so I'd say purely on the strength of numbers the "darkseekers" would take it. One on one the reapers would win easily though.

Better thread though RJ...You're learning.

Most of my threads are good matchups, the good ones are always overlooked though. See for yourself:

http://www.killermovies.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=102&daysprune=1000&sortorder=asc&sortfield=postusername&perpage=50&pagenumber=18

Pages 18-24. Sure, there are some whack ones, but most of them are good ones. The "Mimic" cockroaches versus the Darkseekers got zero attention.

I started this one with equal numbers, but after debating on it a bit, that's a reaper landslide. What do you think is a fair ratio of Darkseekers to Reapers? 3 to 1? 4 to 1? Nomak himself could take out dozens of Darkseekers.

I think it might possibly need a bigger ratio to be honest.

Perhaps as high as 10:1 or even more. Depends on the situation whether it's open streets or confined spaces (where I think the darkseekers would overwhelm them)

Probably it'd be 50/50ish, half in the open, half in confined spaces like hallways and shit. The darkseeker boss showed some intelligence in the end, attacking Neville's house.

And some ridiculous strength and durability by cracking the bullet proof glass.

Not to mention that they were intelligent enough to lure him with the mannequin.

So we have the darkseeker who feel no pain nor fear. The reapers feel pan, but can regen to some extent. Dunno if the reapers feel fear.

The only way I can think to destroy a reaper is to dismember it. Or maybe rip it's throat out?

Probably have to get to the heart. Which shouldn't be too hard for the Darkseekers, if they swarm.

I wonder if an average darkseeker is strong enough to work their way past the protective bone.

Smashed their way into Neville's heavily fortified house easily enough. Again one of them broke the bullet proof glass which must take an extreme amount of strength.

Well if that's the case, then a darkseeker or two should be enough for one reaper.

Walls and Glass don't move....Reapers do...Like I say...It's also about situation. I think once 2 dark seekers pin down a reaper then they be able to break the bones via sheer blunt force trauma but pinning one down in the 1st place would be extremely difficult to say the least.
