No, you being an admitted Revan fanboy is what makes you a Revan fanboy.
Claiming or believing Revan would beat Dooku doesn't make you a Revan fanboy; I think Revan would beat Dooku, Dooku's far greater number of feats and accolades notwithstanding.
In the same token, the fact that Mizukage thinks Revan would lose doesn't make him a Dooku fanboy.
Feel free to wipe the froth from your mouth at any time.

Drew's failed depiction of Revan's character changes nothing.
Dooku has a far greater number of feats and accolades to draw from. It is not unreasonable to conclude that Dooku would win and hardly makes someone who claims as much a PT fanboy.

You accused me of being a Revan fanboy in a nonchalant manner, I just agreed.
By your own admission, you are one.

And I never said it would be unreasonable to conclude Dooku COULD win. That's why I gave him sabers. Feel free to remove your mouth from my undercarriage.
Then by all means feel free to unlatch your jaw from Yoda's ankle.
I actually agree with Vader and SWL here. As silly and pedantic #ancientswanking can become, we can't go to the opposite extreme and automatically give the victory to the modern combatants, simply because they have a larger quantity of feats and accolades.
As vague as some of these citations may appear, with a character as vague as Revan, we need intense educated speculation to properly place him. That he's described as "the heart of the Force"; that Meetra calls him the most powerful being he's ever met; that cults continued to worship him millenia after his death; that Scourge was awestruck by his power even while he was intensely drugged; that he knocked the Emperor on his ass while on a DS nexus, seems to put him above Dooku in the Force, IMHO. I might even place him above RotJ Vader.
There's nothing to indicate that his lightsaber skills are particularly on Dooku's level, but there's nothing to suggest that they're disproportionately lacking either. So I'm going to throw out some arbitrary calculations and place his dueling ability on Obi Wan's level, and conclude that he would take Dooku in the Force and all out.

Yeah, it would sure suck if that were to happen. Y'know, someday. 😐

Agreed. The Ancientsithwanking is retarded obviously. But I have been noticing people saying Maul would WTFPWN all the Ancient Sith 1v1 because, well he's a PT character and is far better because he has "more exposure". We should all give characters equal and fair respect, and not go into the territory of extreme fanboyism on ether side.
