SRK Lounge The Drama Free Edition...haha I can't even type it without laughing

i think the more interesting discussion would be, if raditz crash landed on earth, would superman have been able to defeat him? i don’t think so. here’s why. piccolo can destroy the moon with just his finger. even piccolo couldn’t defeat raditz alone, and had to ask goku for help. doomsday couldn’t destroy the moon with just his finger, because if he could have, he could have just pointed his finger at superman and exploded him. so raditz > picollo > doomsday = superman

obviously if we were talking about super saiyans it’d be no contest, because those guys punch bitches through entire mountain ranges. MOUNTAIN RANGES.

No, no, no, NO!

We are not turning lounge into Goku versus Superman.

Fuck that noise.

IIRC, nobody could fly through space without help in DBZ. So Superman would just take him to space and stick him on the Source Wall.

superman would lose but I think Eradicator would be fine

Boel always has such good avatars.

Doomsday has never been turned into a chocolate. Therefore, Doomsday cannot be turned into a chocolate or one of DC’s magic-based heroes would have done it by now. Therefore, Buu could not have defeated Doomsday, so if Doomsday = Superman, then Superman > Buu. Buu killed nearly everybody on Dragon Ball Earth, so Buu > everyone on Dragon Ball Earth. Therefore, Superman > everyone on Dragon Ball Earth.

The trouble here is that picking the Death of Superman is arbitrary once we establish that it wasn’t the first time it happened. Batman’s showdown with Darkseid in Final Crisis was pretty popular. Why not blame every subsequent superhero death on that? Why not blame some previous superhero death story for the Death of Superman? It’s ridiculous.

Also, if pretend-drunk douchebag guy had any points to speak of, feel free to enumerate them at any time so that I can more conveniently demolish them. I’m not sitting through that 17 minute shit again.

Don’t encourage him.

Dorky ass comic book fans getting all angry up in this bitch. D&D nerds getting all excited in this piece. Idiots going on like there are only 2 or 3 good games to come out this gen. Man, what a day.

ThePurpleBunny · February 10, 2012, 1:30am

Goku vs. Superman? Come on, now.

We all know Mr. Satan could take them both if he wanted to.

NickRocks · February 10, 2012, 1:33am

do you have the announcer?

goodm0urning · February 10, 2012, 1:34am

Now that you mention it, Mr. Satan was the survivor of the Buupocalypse.*

Therefore, Mr. Satan > Buu > everyone else on Dragon Ball Earth.

(*If nobody else has coined this term yet, I call dibs. COINED AND MINTED. BEEN THERE, COINED THAT.)

Welcome to a forum that exists as an offshoot of people competing in video games for prize money.

I never watched any DBZ (thank God) so I dunno exactly about half these arguments I always here.

In one sense, didn’t Goku meet God, and God said Goku was better or some shit? And then you run into stupid crap like Superman hiding in the sun for like 15,000 years, then just popping out and wrecking stuff. So who knows.

I’m more curious about Hulk vs Superman.

NickRocks · February 10, 2012, 1:36am

Bullshit. Jean Grey has died about 78 times since the mid-70s. Never mind the huge precedent in long-running serial fiction in which nothing meaningful ever happens without a subsequent return to the status quo.

A week or two, my ass. They kept him out of the comics for a good eight or nine months, which is significant, considering that they were publishing four monthly titles at time–even though (as anybody with a functioning cerebral cortex can point out) nobody really thought he was gone for good, so the length of time is completely academic.

In order for this to be a valid complaint, you have to demonstrate that the ephemerality of death has been an unequivocally bad thing. Considering that most constructed universes with more than a rudimentary level of detail seem to involve an afterlife of some kind, this is not a simple issue. And that’s something that the guy in the video glosses over completely, because that’s the kind of detail that ruins a perfectly shitty specious argument.

That’s not to say that the Death of Superman was without problems, but they’re problems that aren’t unique to the Death of Superman (or even mid-1990s superhero event comics in general), and they’re problems that can’t be understood just by skimming the summary on Wikipedia.

you said it much more eloquently. hipsters that just started reading comics 2 weeks ago cant understand how big supes death really was

When does a person with the username Dirzzt get to call out anyone on being a dork or nerd?

WHATS UP WIT DAT

drizzt360 · February 10, 2012, 1:39am

You know, I still dont know what a hipster is. From what I get they’re just ordinary dudes but they buy clothes at the goodwill and other such second hand stores. I had a roommate that would go to the goodwill and pick up clothes every now and then. I guess that dude was a hipster before hipster was something.

Just because im a nerd doesnt mean I cant call out people for being even dorky than I am.

odin · February 10, 2012, 1:42am

Based on your name, you should be salivating when we talk about D&D.

maxx · February 10, 2012, 1:44am

RED ALERT! RED ALERT! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

drizzt360 · February 10, 2012, 1:48am

I played D&D a couple times about 12 years ago. It wasnt my thing. I do like fantasy books though…
