So messed up that she doesn't even get a name...
This should be fun to watch

Nah, Quanchi. He'd have been dropping down that ladder and surviving.He wouldn't have caved in like Van Zan and suicided.
He also most likely would have shot that Dragon too, through better timing leving the shot a bit later and giving the dragon no time to react...unlike Van Zan.
Nope. He doesnt.
If a character is lucky, thats just who he is.
Besides, its something quite different with McClane from mere luck. It combines with superhuman endurance, uber powerful intuition, extremely proficient killer instinct, having one punch KO ability, being immensely creative in the battlefield, being hugely resourceful....many other things that Leschi, Quantov whatever they call themself these days are willfully blind to.
When I first saw this thread, I thought people were giving McClane the win due to humor. Now it looks like some people are actually seriously considering McClane the victor??? This McClane worship is starting to get extremely ridiculous. McClane beating Van Zan is feasible. Even McClane beating Indiana Jones is acceptable. But McClane beating a fully grown dragon? Hah! If anyone truly believes this then they are delusional.
The reason Quinn and company were able to beat that dragon was because there were 3 of them and were able to use their numbers to distract the dragon.
McClane can probably beat the dragon if he had teammates to help him. But alone he dies horribly.
Its not empty worship man. Watch Die Hard 5.
About the same age as Indy and wrecking all, and surviving ridiculous shit all the time. Van Zan has literally no feats, compared to him.
And McClane would have dropped down that ladder, escaping death and would most likely have killed the dragon.
Its what he does. Especially now being impervious to all fire and explosions....

Quinn basically yelled at the dragon, walked towards it and shot at the right time. Clearly this is a feat only someone like Quinn can pull off?

Quinn also had much more knowledge of dragons than McClane. McClane probably wouldn't go for a mouth shot to begin with and if he did there is no reason to believe he'd time it perfectly when Van, a man who has spent years learning about and hunting dragons, f*cked up.
