-Downplayed McClane. A cheap shot is punching someone who isn't aware they're in a fight. Lihn was obviously aware they were fighting.
-Another downplay in the form of a dictation. "McClane's just gonna miss!!!11!"
-Another downplay via ignorance of not having watched DH5, yet he knows wtf he's talking about.
-An Ad Hominem attack coupled with yet another downplay. McClane KO'd Lihn by hammer-punching her in the face and then tossing her like a rag-doll. I've shown him the clip and did screen caps for him before. Yet he continues.
But no, Lestov is clam, collected, totally not biased and certainly doesn't "bash" McClane.
It just gets better and better.
The simple fact that he hasn't seen the film yet is simply nuts.
To hold such a cold hatred of a character such as McClane can only be purely perceived as hateful intent on part of the aggressor. And nothing more.
Sure we poke fun at Zan in the form of jest. All shits and giggles.
But I've come to the conclusion that a few posters here are livid in their disdain for John McClane.
For pride? Maybe. For sport? Maybe more so.
But what exactly is there to hate about McClane?
-He's a crack shot.
-Punches like Indy.
-Has the best quips.
-Can see bullshit from a mile away.
-Has the luck of the Irish.
-And has durability out the wazzoo.
Van Zan is an X Junkie with zero personality, can aim a crossbow in a straight line and can beat down poor town leaders in an apocalyptic locale like a thuggish gang leader.
I give him credit for his suicidal jumping skills though, highlight of the movie. Surely the reason this thread exists in the first place.
But this is a mockery of what makes the MvF awesome in my opinion.
Joke threads are fine but this has gone beyond logic and entered flaming territory.
McClane wins, and any who wank some thug like Zan with his petty feats need to get their heads realigned.
