The Blue Oyster Bar

Bodes the question.. what series would be up there?

Given the comparison, I don't think it would be a series so much a single feature length film, and for as long as cinema has been an art form, as well as taking into account the changes over time culturally, it's unlikely one could be completely defined.

It would have to be a movie that can be understood regardless of the era of its production. Literally, a timeless work, as it were.

Neither series can be even remotely considered the holy grail of cinema. Stop exaggerating.

Easy to pass up given the meh they offer.

Are you talking the battles themselves?

Quantity for the armu, but what about quality of the battles?

In terms of medieval battles and successful franchises nothing else comes close. Not even up for discussion.

Harry Potter isn't medieval, so you're shooting yourself in the foot on that one. I can easily admit that The Lord of the Rings certainly does have impressive displays, but it takes more than that to label something so haughtily.

Define your terms for success, it will make this easier. Off the top of my head of franchises as successful or more than either series (based on cinema):

Star Wars
Star Trek
Friday the 13th
Batman
Superman

That's five right there. The criteria I'm using to determine success in this case would be longevity. Each franchise I listed has been in the game longer than your two "holy grails" and still have the ability to keep going.

Now, that's not to say that Harry Potter or The Lord of the Rings can't achieve that status. They're already well on their way, in fact. That doesn't mean they could be considered the peak of the cinematic art form, though.

Lord of the Rings is better than all five of the series you mentioned.

Lol at Friday the 13th's placement on the list.

Hahahahahaha, none of the movies you named are medieval.

Game, set, match.

Harry Potter and Lotr are comparable most of the films you listed are not save Star Trek and Star Wars which is the holy grail of science fiction/fantasy combined.

Friday the 13th is utter dreck.

Your claim is that either series is the pinnacle of the art form that is cinema. That is what I'm disagreeing with.

Medieval in terms of swords, magic, monsters, wands. Absolutely is. Don't let the muggle world fool you.

It's high fantasy overlayed in modern day. You honestly think that putting Harry as a orphan child in the Dark Ages would've made this the same story?

No, because your claim, as I pointed above, wasn't focused on medieval themes. If you want to change your stance and say The Lord of the Rings is one of the best fantasy/medieval franchises of all time, then I'm not really seeing a problem with it. Pick something and stick to it.

Comparable to what? Alfred Hitchcock? Charlie Chaplin? Uwe Boll? What are you trying to say here? I could give a rat's ass which of the Star children counts as the top of their proverbial heap. I'm looking at this with a much broader perspective, thanks to your original comment. Get on my level, quan.

That's subjective, with some exceptions, but it's not really the point I'm trying to make.

Shut up Xan.

Last time I made a Link thread with variety, you made one trollpost and that's it. I revoke your right to request other Link threads.

You were explicitly trying to start something and no one wants to listen when I point out Link's high end shit, which he would need to fight mountain busters, jerk.

estahuh

Yeah. I was trying to start something. Pretty sure the colloquial term is a debate.

Didn't consider how stupid Narutard's main cast had gotten, though, so I'll admit that's my fault.

Now help me come up with something else.

Why not more equalized matches? Speed is usually the hot button with feats, so locking that would make things simpler.

Or even making all physical stats equal to base the fights on their skills/gear/etc.
