Denton Van Zan (Reign of Fire) vs. John McClane

Started by Sadako of Girth112 pages

Its interesting that you mention Potter/Voldemort.
By RJ's old 'Ninja Chick won against McClane' "rationale" that you have subscribed to, Voldemort beat the piss out of Potter and won, didn't he....?

She was at HIS mercy. He KOed her. Coulda done anything he wanted to her right there.
McWin by all definitions..

She walked away from him in the middle of their fight. Harry had help against Voldemort and no one would dare claim Harry beats him in a forum fight outside a movie franchise in which Harry had to survive. That's the point. Try to gloss over it all you want I am Mcright.

So you can see the ridiculousness of the scenario you're suggesting then, if you can see the point of my HP V Vordemort analogy then.

It was McClane's merciful walking back to tend to Matthew, before that, that allowed Ninja chick her 487 year recovery time from being knocked the f*** out....

Im glossing over nothing.

No, she was dominating him and walked away. In a fair one on one fight without her being distracted she pwned him but had to die just like Voldemort had to die against Harry despite him being vastly superior to Harry.

Well he dominated her, ko'd her. He later killed her. 🙂

Is there any in-movie statement of that rule?
Screen feats.

No, he dominated her after she turned around and he ripped out her hair. Stick to the facts you always seem to gloss over the context or twist things around to favor McClane.

Zan wins. The guy can easily tank sucker punches. McClane needs a woman to turn around to get the drop on her despite having a gun on her at the start of the fight.

Hey whatever works. He generally says "Enough of this kung fu shit" and ends fights by unconciousness then death.

Nah he loses alllllll day long to McClane.

Until he runs into Zan. The guy would probably lead McClane or something in a movie but here he beats him to death.

Nah McClane barely follows anybody in authority if he decides not to. and sensing that Van Zan with a jumped up, charismatically challenged, baboon idiot to follow to a death in the dragon's maw, McClane'd definitely not follow.

Especially once McClane realises that Van Zan can't really fight.
(Van Zan instead prefering to make animal noises, strip off and hit like a vegitarian girl with muscle wasting diseases, usually failing to inflict damage on his foes, whilst bleeding from two shots from a non fighter like Quinn, himself.)

Van was the one who knew which dragon to kill to save the world from the hell they were in. McClane is somebody running around after the crap hits the fan and usually needs help from fat policemen. He even needed help from his daughter's bf iirc.

Shrugging off elite male specimen's attacks while trying to motivate him is what I call being able to fight and take a punch something McClane can't do.

LOL Elite male lolololol McClane is the very inventor of being able to take punches.
And his Damage soak is WAY beyond Van Zan.

And he wouldn't have to "endure" Van Zan's shouty handbag slaps for long, as Van Zan would be destroyed pretty quickly...just like pretty much everything/anyone who crosses McClane's path in all four movies. 🙂

No, like in the other thread he gets lucky. He gets put to the ground and doesn't laugh off any punches. Zan does. Big diff.

You yourself took away all the make believe steam you had going for him. Luck.

But McClane is hit way harder and by real men, rather than grunting drama ballerinas who hit very slowly and weakly, and in a telegraphed fashion like Van Zan. And he comes back and kills them all like the boss that he is.
McClane would have killed, cooked and eaten Quinn.
And Van Zan for all his hystrionic grunting and and homoeroticism could not damage Quinn.
But Quinn made Van Zan bleed girl's blood.

Not at all. The luck is a legit character attribute.
McLuck is additional feature to go with McSmarts, McResiliance, McExperience, McCunning, McAsskickingability, a sense of McHumour and the Mcwilltosurvive.

But hey if you wanna gimp away then try to gimp it all you like.
Just defeats your position that little Suzy Van Zan can take all that McClane is and has..... McWin.

McClane gets worked by females hell anyone who hits him he takes a spill. Zan laughs off punches and tries to motivate while easily working over someone. Zan can laugh off a punch whereas McClane spills blood every time he gets tapped.

So that guy who got hit by Mike Tyson in the hangover...where does he rank on the scale?

Youre wrong. Plenty of his fights have been stand up fights that would have floored most. Zan can afford to laugh when fighting a man who cant really fight.
But then since his opponent not only lived, but also lived to mouth off to Van Zan about how he was gonna kill him afterwards and such, I guess that just shows that Mrs.Zan is the one who rightly wears the trousers in their home in the dragon colon.

If McClane was floored temporarily by a shot, it would be a shot that would have removed Van Zan (Who does for deathmatch fighting whta Ricky Martin did for .......erm.....deathmatch fighting)'s spine.

I am saying Zan laughs off a punch whereas that guy didn't just like McClane. Zan laughs off hits that would put McClane on his ass.

There's no proof the man can't fight. Quinn took on Zan the dragon killer. The guy shrugs off elite male punches. McClane can't even take a punch from a girl.

Zan, 10/10.

'Elite male' lol Elite among what?

'The dragon feeder', you mean.
(remember he ended up as Dragon Dookie.)

McClane was seen taking punches from a girl.
He was seen KOing that girl*.
He was seen killing her.

* = A girl that would have murdered Van Zan due to his utter lack of speed, lack of damage-inflicting ability and the fact that he "fights" with his mouth open all the time grunting. (Once the ganglian nerve at the top of said slack jaw is suddenly displaced by even the most fleeting of blows KO is achieved)

McClane was also seen disarmed and manhandled by a girl UNTIL he proceeded to turn around and walk away from the fight. That's the KEY point you keep missing. It's ok probably more of that McClane luck you yourself subscribe to.

Zan no sold a cheapshot. When has McClane no sold a cheapshot like it didn't even faze him.

Also compare the physique of the female who trounced McClane to the man who couldn't even damage Zan with a cheapshot.

It wasn't much of a man handling, judging by the end result.
She couldn't didnt finish him.

And that girl would end Van Zan.
He wouldn't have stood a chance as he is way slower than McClane a punches with big slow pillowy damage lacking lacklusterness and cant damage people as much as people damage him..

No it wasn't.
