Swordmanship Rankings

I'm fairly certain Batdude was be sarcastic and the other guy seems like someone who's entire Blade experience was gleaned from the respect thread.

It's an arguement I've already won anyway. The narration was a verse of poetry and as such is incredible suspect. You don't really have a counter point other than "well... I think it should count." which doesn't really hold all that much water.

He wasn't. With a respect thread on Blade like we have, who wouldn't be an expert?

Better than "I think it shouldn't count, because I read a stupid poem a while ago", also racism against Blade.

Indeed.

I smell racism at work here.

It makes more sense the more I think of it.

😆

You're ridiculous. It's a poem, a verse of exaggerated exposition. Take an English lit class or something.

Apparently I'm racist now, because I know that a verse of poetry isn't a concrete statement? Guess what (spoilers btw) Blade isn't death either, and Spider-man isn't a demon... all things said in the bards narrative poetry. 😱

I concede to nothing. Not only am I right, but I'm so right that there isn't even a logically counter argument to run against my argument... just blind fanaticism.

I can see Batman winning this.

You can't slowclap yourself! I'm removing your Citizen Kane slowclap gif privileges. 😠

^ overruled. Cheeky bastards are allowed to do so.

Batman's not winning a damn thing here. He's not a better swordsman than Wolverine.... or, as far as I'm concerned, Ras.

It's called Hyperbole. Hyperbole is a literary device. Hyperbole used via exaggeration to emphasis a point create a strong impression, and is not meant to be taken literally. Hyperbole is used primarily in poetry. Example of Hyperbole: "Time stops for all but Blade."

No need to argue on how you could have been right, anymore.

dude doesn't age, so time does indeed, stop for him 😛
