Batman VS Dekkard Shaw

that and the fact he broke out of a cast, crashed in an ambulance when taking out the drown head first off a bridge and surviving a powerful explosive and falling 3 stories onto a car roof through a panel of glass is damned impressive

Was actually much more than a standard 3 story drop. Even ignoring the explosion that he tanked right before, a fall from the height he took would have pulped a regular person completely. And yeah, totally tanked crashing an ambulance off a bridge and into a drone, which exploded on impact.

truly, but if we are going to debate hobbs we should stick to a relating thread

now there is an idea

Well, it is still on topic, considering Hobbs has those strength and durability feats, yet Shaw did quite well against him. Basically, I raised these points to show that Shaw hangs with people who are legit superhumans based on feats (and by extension is also in the class).

i guess I've never thought of the FF guys as being superhuman in the traditional sense just in the sense of them being main characters in a high octane action movie. I don't really know if id consider that superhuman per se just a form of heightened reality that an action film provides

Feats are feats though. Even if they aren't labelled as superhuman in their world, they still accomplished feats that ordinary humans in real life would not be able to achieve.

quite true

IOW, you want to ignore their feats because that is the only way Baleman has a chance against them and you really want Baleman to win.

lol **** off silent, your crusade to paint me as a batman fanboy is pathetic, I'm merely stating my opinion on the matter, if you don't like what i have to say debate my statements or don't comment at all goof

OK, how about your statement here, where you claim that you've never thought any of the FF guys were superhuman.

Yet in this post, that was posted an hour earlier, you admit that Hobbs has superhuman like strength.

Hightower from Police Academy vs Hobbs from Fast and Furious in a bench press competition. I decided to go this route because Hightower hasn't been proven in high level combat like Hobbs so a fight would be moot. However they both possess superhuman like strength so who would win a bench competition between the two??

-waits for that response-

exactly, theres no contradiction there, i said that "i had always thought" meaning that until i came to places like this where every feat done by a character in a movie would be dissected and held up to real world standards i had never really thought about it like that. Thats why I decided to roll with it and make the thread about Hobbs and Hightower after watching Police Academy and seeing it through the eyes of a KMC poster.

You act like I dug those quotes up from a long time ago, they were both from today.

I'm aware of when they were from, read my response above

I've read all your posts in this thread and the one I quoted, you basically consider them superhuman until they're in a vs match against Baleman at which point you ignore their feats and call them just regular guys so that you can give your favorite character the win.

If you've seen Fast 5-7, how could you not think Dom and Hobbs are superhuman? They've been getting stronger progressively through each movie. In Hobbs first movie, he lifted a guy who had to be at least 260lbs from the floor and threw him above his head into the ceiling in one smooth motion.

He is just trying to make excuses, relentless1 didn't think I'd find his other thread where he clearly stated that Hobbs had superhuman like strength.

i made that thread after seeing the breakdown of the feats and accepted thats how it is on here you idiot, look at the time stamps private eye
