All right, so here is the basics.
Harrison Ford played Indiana Jones, and many people have played James Bond. However, the most quintessential James Bond is played by Sean Connery. I am sure many can agree on that matter.
Now in the greatest Indiana Jones movie (If you say otherwise you're a racist), Sean Connery also played Indiana Jones' father. Now, in that movie Harrison Ford essentially saved Sean Connery's life. Therefore Indiana Jones, saved James Bond. Therefore making him the more badass of the two.
Now discuss, your opinions or your matter. Concur with me, or object my theory. Also, it helps if you're really drunk when you think about this.
-
Not to mention that Indiana Jones is also the president and a space-smuggler.
-
Plus, James Bonds needs all that fancy highfalutin jazzy equipment to get the job done. All Indy needs is a whip, a gun, his hat and his BAD ASS SELF.
-
But they are equally smexy *drools*

I really think the hat makes him. Without the hat he is nothing. Watch the movies and you'll understand, his badassity revolves around his hat. Everytime he loses his hat, he comes close to death.
These are the things I contemplate when drunk.
-
Who the hell uses a word like "smexy"?
-
In The Last Crusade, Sean Connery shoots down a nazi fighter with his umbrella
-
Who uses a word like "smexy"? You ask... A WITCH! Burn her!
Also, it has been scientifically proven that Umbrellas are weapons of mass destruction. Proven many times over by Mary Poppins.

Eh, technically all he did was scare some birds. The birds are the ones who brought down the plane.
-
I disagree, akashacatbat. It takes a devious mind to place the blame elsewhere, but Mr. Connery is still behind that pilot's feathery demise.
-
Actually sir, you are wrong. Harrison Ford is NOT the only actor to play Indiana Jones....you are intentionally or unintentionally forgetting/ignoring The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones. George Hall, Corey Carrier, Neil Boulane, and of course River Phoenix have all played Indiana Jones.
The latest Indiana Jones was bad (compared to the original 3), Indy was old and the needed new blood to make him still cool. The latest Bond films have been incredible and amazing.
James Bond sleeps with at least one woman per film (at least 4 in every Roger Moore film) whereas Indy has....Marcus Brody and Short Round....
-
Lots of people use "smexy" but only when the time called for it, and it called for it!
And I resent the word "witch"! I prefer misunderstood trickster.

I have to agree with you on this. James Bond did get to sleep with many women. Indiana Jones was just the action hero, without getting any action. :3
-
Jones slept with a woman in each installment of the original three. Marianne, the whiny lady from Temple of Doom and then Dr. Schneider.
He also has had one illegitimate child that we know of, which indicates Indiana Jones is too manly to pull out like that pansy ass brit, James Bond.
Plus, Bond drinks shaken martinis. Indiana Jones? Whatever the fuck he can get his hands on, and lots of it. This clearly puts Jones into the win in this.

Raiders was much better.
-
Bond wins hands down, and firstly I will argue that Roger Moore was the best Bond. But Bond is a classy city man whereas Indy is more of a country boy, which frankly the City appeals to me more than the country, so there it is. Bond wins.
-
Eff James Bond. Indiana Jones is so much better.
That is all.
-
Fact: Indiana Jones has become old and decrepit.
Fact: Indiana Jones rides bitch to Shia LeBeouf.
Fact: Indiana Jones is scared of snakes.
Fact: James Bond keeps getting younger.
Fact: James Bond laughs in the face of testicular damage.
Fact: James Bond isn't scared of shit.
Vote James Bond, Ultimate Badass 2008.
-
Bond wins. Why? There's 6 of him. Kick that one Indy's ass
-
Dude, Indiana Jones beat the snot out of the Third Reich with his bare hands. Twice.
-
Bond wins. Why? There's 6 of him. Kick that one Indy's ass
Let me reiterate what Ikrik said.
Actually sir, you are wrong. Harrison Ford is NOT the only actor to play Indiana Jones....you are intentionally or unintentionally forgetting/ignoring The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones. George Hall, Corey Carrier, Neil Boulane, and of course River Phoenix have all played Indiana Jones.
And, has Bond ever made the Kesel Run in under 12 parsecs? I think not...
-
You know what?
Bond is immortal. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Sanchez_Villa-Lobos_Ramirez) Indiana Jones has never decapitated a dude ever.
-
No, but he has escaped decapitation. Also getting his heart ripped out. Also from being obliterated by the Ark of the Covenant. And aliens. Also, dude is teacher pushing 70 and can still beat the shit out of people.
-
Also, so what Bond has slept with a lot of women. Many people have slept with a lot of women. I never see any condom wrappers in the movie, I mean... HIV isn't badass, at all.
-
Roxie, you fail for not posting every single Doctor there has ever been...
-
007 is a trained hitman for the British secret service.
Indiana Jones is a school teacher.
QFT
Bond needs the nation of England, Q, and training.
Indiana Jones just needs to get that piece in a museum, where it belongs!
-
Bond wins. Why? There's 6 of him. Kick that one Indy's ass
Indy shoots three guys with one bullet.
-
Yeah, the Eighth Doctor was a damn shame waste of a regeneration. McGann was actually a good Doctor too. Not great, but good.
EDIT: Wait, does the Doctor's half-Regeneration count as a life gone?
-
Roxie, you are the only person I've ever heard of who calls Colin Baker one of her favourite Doctors.
-
.....So are we of the consensus that Dr. Who is better than both James Bond and Indiana Jones?
-
"He never raised his voice. That was the worst thing -- 'the fury of the Time Lord' -- and then we discovered why. Why this Doctor, who had fought with gods and demons, why he had run away from us and hidden... He was being kind. He wrapped my father in unbreakable chains forged in the heart of a dwarf star. He tricked my mother into the event horizon of a collapsing galaxy to be imprisoned there, forever. He still visits my sister, once a year, every year. I wonder if one day he might forgive her, but there she is. Can you see? He trapped her inside a mirror. Every mirror. If ever you look at your reflection and see something move behind you just for a second, that's her. That's always her. As for me, I was suspended in time and the Doctor put me to work standing over the fields of England, as their protector. We wanted to live forever. So the Doctor made sure we did."
Yeah. I think so.
-
No. He's British and, by definition, has bad teeth. Heroes all have sparkly smiles. Jones wins.

Captain James T Kirk
He kills Klingons as a hobby, blows shit up and has sex with many, many women, both human and alien.
Not quite an Indiana Jones, but still bad ass.

Spock was more badass than Kirk, just in his own, quiet way.

This thread is a slash-fic orgy just waiting to happen
-
Seeing as how everyone else on the forum is watching the Wire now, it ought to be pointed out that when it comes to the baddest of the bad, the coolest of the cool, the toughest of the tough, clearly the only contender is Omar. Those of you who know what I'm talking about, know why, and will agree with me. Those of you who don't, you're just going to have to take my word for it.
-
I had no idea that Jarvis Cocker was actually Dr. Who.
-
James Bond is English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh and Australian.
Jones is American... And possibly Mexican... And maybe Belgian.
James Bond is named after James St. and Bond St.
Jones is named after the dog.
James Bond always knows where his towel is (usually wrapped around his waist in an 'oh my god I'm straight but he's just soooo sexy' kinda way).
Jones lost his gun just at the wrong moment
James Bond took on thirty US Marines armed with hostages and VX poison gas
Jones killed a couple of Nazis
James Bond can fly a plane. With his knees.
Jones can't, can you?
-
Indiana Jones is not his real name.....his real name is Junior Jones. The dog's name was Indiana. Who's cooler now?
-
The fact that there is a secret password for a "breast man" is not "Indiana Jones in a towel", it is "James Bond in a towel".

No, his name was Henry Jones Jr. His father called him Junior because he was Henry Jones Sr.
-
Denny Crane. (Hehe.)
Also, Jones CAN fly a plane, he just can't LAND a plane. There is a difference!
Dr. Who is probably much more awesome than Bond and Jones combined. I mean, he can travel through time in a machine that looks like a public phone. And has a most magnificent scarf at one point. And is currently very attractive.
-
James Bond had a Junior of his own. James Bond Junior. Jones was the Junior.
Bond has seniority.
James Bond bonked Jones' mum.
James Bond has several Dinner Jackets and looks awesome in all of them.
Jones had to steal his DJ off of a waiter on a Zeppelin. And it didn't fit. And he forgot to shave.
-
This thread fills my heart with glee.
I mean, James Bond, Indy J and the Doctor?
I just about wet my pants.
I've been telling people this for ages, but no.
Kids these days want their silly high tech gadgets. D :
Indiana Jones gets people more excited.
There. Scientific reason for him being better.
The Doctor makes me try and eat pillows in agony, and hyperventilate.
This proves the Doctor is EVEN COOLER.

Ok, let me revise that. He can travel through time in a public phone and NOT LOOK LIKE A MORON.
Yes, Bill and Ted are fun, but they look like idiots. Probably because they are. The Doctor is not.
-
Seriously, if anyone can watch Human Nature/Family of Blood and not come to the conclusion that A) David Tennant is a fantastic, amazing, brilliant actor and B) The Doctor is a terrifying force of the universe and a complete badass, then they are severely disabled.
-
Lads - Richard Sharpe will take both James Bond and Indiana Jones on. Beat them, and take their women.
-
The Doctor will then save these women from an alien threat and may consider to take them as companions, thus leaving them with massive near incurable sexual hang-ups for the Doctor.

How the hell did we forget Dr. McNinja?
-
I just got my sister into to Doctor Who or, more specifically, David Tennant.
-
As much as our Gallifreyan friend would indeed do all sort os of hardass crazy shit. ruchard sharpe would still take his woman, ravish her, call everyone a bastard and singlehandedly defeat whatever army you threw at him.
He is that hard, and rough around the edges.
-
Actually, he's Henry Jones Jr.
-
That's completely awesome.
-
I wish I had a scarf like his. Meeting Jesus would be pretty cool too.
-
Oh geez you must have to be a pretty cool dude to have a scarf like that
(http://www.pretentiousgamer.com/photos/docta.JPG)
-
Judging by that comic... Jesus was trapped in the cave by the doctor's hair.
-
Sharpe could kick an insane amount of arse... Right up until he came across a car and stabbed it, thinking it was a dragon. Not to mention he'd probably use an ipod as a mirror and a laptop as a bludgeon. Bond, at least, knew how to work a PC.
BTW, that Doctor Who companions poster is Awesome!
-
In the Bon vs Jones debate, whilst I probably love Raiders more than any Bond film it's important to remember that Speilberg really wanted to do a Bond film and when he didn't get one himself and Lucas came up with Indiana Jones.
Therefore no Bond = no Jones.
Bond is a badass that inspired further badassery.
You got to go for the source on that score.

Come on now. This guy sliced up a firing squad in the time it took them to reload.
-
He also died, and wasn't particularly a badass, more of a renaissance man and revolutionary. Not to mention doesn't have a good deal of mythos about him. I mean a comic and a movie dont inspire comparisons to the serials that are Bond and Indy.

Just remeber that the man did know how to shoot. Jumping from a muzzleloader to an 18 shot glock (or more likely 13 shot Browning) wouldn't be that much of a leap. Moving to an era where he could rise on merit in the army would be a much larger leap, that and his best friend being a resident of a separate country might also cause some discombobulation.

Bear in mind that he also toppled a fascist regime virtually single handed.
-
I bore that in mind, but besides that, I dont really think thats comparable. The Bond vs. Indy is a battle of character, something V lacked terribly.
-
..........How exactly did V get into this discussion?
Let's look at some figures shall we? As far as the most succesful film franchises go Bond is number 2. Number 1 happens to be Harry Potter....which is embarassing. Where is Indiana Jones you ask? Number.....8. Just abover Shrek and just below Batman.
-
Bear in mind that he also toppled a fascist regime virtually single handed.
All in all, wasn't V a symbol of freedom from fascist oppression and, most importantly, anarchy. He is a symbol very much like the 'blind justice' ststue on top of the courthouse.
-
What the hell, guys?
Bond and Indy are mere heroes who tended to occasionally kick ass.
V's entire existence was asskickery and rebellion. V is about as punk as you get and he rarely even flips out and kills bitches. Instead, he sacrifices his life and sets in motion a plan to destroy an entire system of government. I think he's atheistic, too, so sacrificing his life is a double-whammy.
V doesn't just beat up bad guys - he's a philosopher, a revolutionary and a political matyr. Most heroes can never hope to be as half as badass as him. Indy and Bond are pretty lame in comparison, even combined.
-
I still think the thread should have stopped when Doctor McNinja was brought up. You can't get more badass than Doctor McNinja, guys.
-
I struggle to see where philosopher, political martyr or revolutionary = badass. They might be good qualities but they definitely arent badass.
-
How are they anything BUT badass?
Bond and Indie fight for simple reasons, like because Nazis are silly or because the evil guy has a big laser-gun.
V fights on a conceptual level as well as a physical one, which necessitates a darker reality and not only more badassery in general, but a level of conceptual badassery that most other heroes never touch.
-
Seriously, someone define badass for these lost souls. Actually Ill just rape urbandictionaries wisdom for it.
The epitome of male. He radiates confidence in everything he does, whether it's ordering a drink, buying a set of wheels, or dealing with women. He's slow to anger, brutally efficient when fighting back.
The badass carves his own path. He wears, drives, drinks, watches, and listens to what he chooses, when he chooses, where he chooses, uninfluenced by fads or advertising campaigns. Badass style is understated but instantly recognizable. Like a chopped Harley or a good pair of sunglasses: simple, direct, and functional.
His own path, as in, a man in it for himself and earthly delights. And understated? You know, NOT wearing a Halloween custome.
-
What I'm saying here, and all of you will hate me for this, is that both Bond and Indie suck really hard. They can beat up some bad guys and impress some chicks - so what? Every hero does that.
V walks the line of villainy and relative morality, which is far more badass.
-
Let's look at some figures shall we? As far as the most succesful film franchises go Bond is number 2. Number 1 happens to be Harry Potter....which is embarassing. Where is Indiana Jones you ask? Number.....8. Just abover Shrek and just below Batman.
Man, that's not even comparable. You're talking a quantity versus quality matter here. There have been twenty two Bond films versus four Indy films. That's a bit lop-sided of a comparison to make.
Beyond that, if you're going to use that to gauge something, that means that an angsty teenage wizard with a bad haircut is a bigger badass than either of them.
-
Indiana Jones could probably deflect any spell cast at him with his five-'o'-clock shadow.
-
I heard, motherfucker, had like, 30 goddamn dicks.
-
To be fair though, the ultimate movie badass is Capt Reisman, from the Dirty Dozen.
-
I'm sorry, but it's really all moot. The world's biggest badass is Mr Rogers.

Oh I'm sorry, what was all that?
I was too busy reading about Dr McNinja's ghost pulling Death's head off and his separate corporeal form knocking it the fuck out the park using the rest of Death's body as a bat.

I'm actually kinda disappointed about the switch to color, I thought the high contrast B&W worked really well for the comic.
-
I am a little less worried about the colour and more about the apparent re-explaining of things. I am guessing that it is because he plans on releasing a new book from the start of the colour strips onward? Perhaps there is some sort of contract involved with the new inker, because she's worked on professional stuff before? I dunno. It feels a little bit off so far. The previous story arcs have all opened a little more low key and with less explanation involved.
-
It might be a brief one-off just to show off.
-
Or to test how well-received it is. Good point!
-
Also, he pretty much just ended a pretty long and involved story. I think he kind of wants to start from the start a bit before he gets involved in another and the switch to color is as good a reason to do that as any.
-
I think Doctor McNinja is kind of cheating for use in a badassery debate, it is like debating what the largest thing alive is and bringing in a talking galaxy.
-
You concede defeat too easily, Nodaisho.

I agree with Spluff here, Cornelius won the Badass Games.
The dude prepared remarks!
-
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y66/Spluff/cornelius_one_thm.jpg)
I was wavering during this debate, and yes, McNinja was about to get my vote, but I think we have to call the whole thing off.
To quote Ray during the badass games
"Cornelius, you could have won this thing in your sleep, but you didn't, and I'm sure the other players thank you for extending that courtesy. Congratulations, Cornelius. You are the baddest dude in town; you are the mirror that shows a normal man that he is a clown."
and is there a greater authority on badassery than Raymond Smuckles?
-
I do not see how there is even a debate here.
1. James Bond is hired muscle, a government stooge. No matter how awesome he is, he's only badass because the Queen owns his ass. Indiana Jones is a self-made man, a teacher who conducts his badassery on his own terms, because he believes that precious artifacts should be in a museum instead of in the hands of Nazis.
2. Indiana Jones fights Nazis, the evillest people on Earth (and yeah, I know he fights Commies in the new movie but I haven't seen it yet, and let's just forget "Temple of Doom" exists). James Bond fights against whomever his government is against, again because he is the Queen's little bitch. Many Communists (and now, I guess, unspecified Middle Eastern "terrorists") were good people. Ergo, Indiana is more moral than Bond.
3. Indiana ain't afraid to get his hands dirty. Aside from snakes, there's nothing Indiana fears. James Bond's machismo hides a deep seated neuroticism that manifests itself in foppish habits, an uptight manner, and incredibly unstable relationships with women. Indiana is also friends with Jonathan Rhys-Davies, who was excellent in Sliders.
4. The proper way to serve a martini is stirred not shaken.
5. Dude, Last Crusade. Come on, dude.
-
I'm pretty sure the contest comes down to Dr. McNinja and Cornelius now.
-
Indiana is also friends with Jonathan Rhys-Davies, who was excellent in Sliders.
And the whole debate is thrown open again! :-D
-
Excuse me, but did Dr. Who or whatever ever surf a DraculaBot while re-entering Earth's atmosphere after punching the real Dracula in the face on his Moon Base?
No.
-
Excuse me, but did Dr. Who or whatever ever surf a DraculaBot while re-entering Earth's atmosphere after punching the real Dracula in the face on his Moon Base?
No.
Is that because he couldn't or because he did not choose to?
-
Um... Who is this Cornelius chappie?
Dr. McNinja is just a clone of Dr. McSteamy only with more ninja skills and a better attitude.
The Daleks are the most terrifying monster in all of science fiction and they are afraid of The Doctor.
Indiana Jones carries a revolver and a whip, James Bond carries a Walther, Dr. McWhinger has a big swordy thing and maybe throwing stars. The Doctor has a screwdriver, gum and string. Even MacGuyver needed a swiss-army knife. Plus Mac never hung with Shakespeare.
Also, James Bond drinks Bradford martinis because bruising the gin while shaking makes it taste different.
I'm amazed Mike Harmon from John Ringo's 'Ghost' book hasn't come up yet. But then perhaps it's too republican for this group.
-
The ghost series should never have existed, John Ringo would be one of the first to tell you that. He wrote it because the story was distracting him from what he needed to work on, and then mentioned it online in an offhand manner, and his fans insisted on him publishing it, and his publisher refused to let him use a pseudonym.
Doctor McNinja was around before Doctors Fucking, so the other doctor is a clone of him, but without the awesomeness.
He isn't as badass as McNinja, but how 'bout Inspector Tequila?
-
What part of David Tennant don't you understand??
Sorry, but you wanting to bone the guy who plays the latest Doctor isn't as impressive as you seem to believe it to be.
Also, who the hell is Dr McSteamy? All I get are hits from Greys Anatomy, and surely you don't mean that god-damned fucking awful show.
Also also, if I see someone quote the entirety of the "you could have won this in your sleep" speech one more time or spelling out in extremely over-obvious fashion anything to do with Achewood I'm gonna wig out. Part of the appeal/comedic value of Achewood is that it does things in a casual, matter of fact fashion.
-
Wig out? I don't know what that is, but it sounds hilarious. All hairpieces flying everywhere in a fit of rage, toupées ricocheting off of the walls...
-
The Daleks are the most terrifying monster in all of science fiction and they are afraid of The Doctor.
They are also afraid of stairs. The Daleks of the past series weren't really that terrifying, but then, those are the only eps I've seen (Tom Baker). Kind of like gussied up Roombas.

The dude bangs an Inquisitor... you know.. someone who can destroy in entire fucking solar system just by a phone call?
-
The Doctor has a screwdriver, gum and string. Even MacGuyver needed a swiss-army knife.
Yes but the screwdriver is used to get him out of practically any conceivable situation, it is the ultimate dues ex machina.
"Locked in a room? It's ok the sonic screwdriver can pick the lock!"
"Hmm, Dalek invasion? Just press this button on the sonic screwdriver to transmit a virus throughout the race"
"Having trouble achieving and maintaining an erection? Guess what, the sonic screwdriver has a setting to cure that!"
-
Leinad, by extension, Harry Flashman, well known victorian hero, etc is a bad ass. GM Fraser would blush...
-
Could you provide some titles that have Harry Flashman in them? If he is anything like Ciaphas Cain I will devour them.
-
This thread is so full of win. I am so proud of myself.
Dr.McNinja is the true badass though, but this is between Indiana, and James.
-
Did someone bring Warhammer into this? That was totally unexpected. When I think of badass pretty much the LAST thing that comes into my mind is Warhammer.....it even comes after ponies and unicorns.
I don't think any argument will be able to convince me that Indiana Jones is badass....I just...don't feel it. He's great, the first three movies were amazing (I would rather watch Temple of Doom ten times than watch the new piece of garbage). For me Bond is better....and McNinja has always reigned supreme.
-

Normally I would agree, but Ciaphas Cain is so totally NOT a badass in the most badass way. Sandy Mitchell does such an amazing job of bringing him to life that I find that I actually like the books. I don't like anything else by Black Library at all, but Ciaphas Cain is hilarious.
-
He is a large, semi-muscular man.
But he is not a badass.

You wanna know why teddy bears are called teddy bears? Because Theodore Roosevelt once refused to shoot a bear that was sick. People made fun of him and he was in all sorts of cartoons.
Someone wrote to him asking if they could call their stuffed bears "Teddy Roosevelt Bears". It stuck.
-
Actually, Theodore Roosevelt wins this thread. Read up on the real Teddy bear... You'll be scared after, once you realize that if he wanted to he could kill you right now.

Sam Steele beats Teddy Rooseveldt three ways to hell.
Back to the thread, if we have to choose between James Bond and Indiana Jones, then I have to go with Sean Connery's Bond. Just cause.
-
But the original premise of the thread was/is OH GOD SO BORING so we have been trying to spice it up by suggesting actual badasses.
And man, it pains me to say it but as this is the Movies, TV Shows & Books forum I am not sure Cornelius or Dr McNinja qualify :( That leaves Ash as the baddest motherfucker in this thread by my account. But then again maybe I can introduce you to

I'm pretty sure Ash could kick Teddy Roosevelt's ass. Wait what is this thread about again.
-
est, watch or re-watch The Dirty Dozen. Reisman is badder than Ash, not by much.
where is Donald Duck?
-
Ash, if fighting Roosevelt, would have the advantage that Roosevelt is dead and Ash sure knows how to handle the Deadites.
Not to mention, all due repect to the badass former president, I'm fairly sure that Ash could at least spell President correctly.

John McClane: More Resourseful than MacGyver in a Grocery Store
Edit: Motherfuck! stupid coding...
-
Ash
Dr. Mcninja
Indiana
Bond
Doctor
----
everyone else...
there's a hierarchy folks, 'spect it.
-
Wait, should we add Davy Jones? The man did ripe out his own heart. Then again all that, "I love the sea," crap.
-
You must have dislexia-- its:
Doctor
Indiana
Jayne
Mal
Wash
Captain Jack Harkness
--------
everyone else
--------
Clay Aiken
The fact that Ash is not anywhere on your list thereby negates it's very validity. "everyone else" doesn't count.
but i do suffer from sleydxia
-
"If it's a lesson in love, then I should warn you, I have a very sexy learning disorder. What do I call it, Kif?
:sigh: Sexlexia."
-
Hmmm... Ash stuck up between Jayne and Mal...
If I were gay then that is something I would Definitely want to see.
But you're all wrong, it's:
Bond,
The Doctor,
Ray Park,
Ash,
Jones,
Smith - from Shoot 'Em Up,
House.
-
The ranking is:
Capt Reisman
Ash
Bond (Sean Connery, then Daniel Craig)
John McLane
Indiana Jones
The Preacher (Silverado)
-
John McClane bitches!
-
True. Bond never walked barefoot over broken glass to kill terrorists by throwing them off a thirty story building.
-
Yeah but he's hot (http://bbs.extmovie.com/zbxe/files/attach/images/126849/281691/hr_Eagle_Eye_Shia_LaBeouf_and_Michelle_Monaghan.jpg).
EDIT: Link fixed.
-
His stash and goatee are a little.....pubey
-
I would still do him. No question.
Also, to be more relevant to this thread, Indiana Jones will forever be more of a badass than James Bond.
-
I always think of Even Stevens when I think of Shia. I just do. And hear his awful, squeaky voice going "Ah! No! No!" which were half his lines.
-
Shia Labeouf wasn't in Die Hard 4.0, that was Justin Long who was, admittedly, pretty good in the roll.
Also, James Bond wheelied a Artic through a fire before fighting on top of a tanker full of petrol and cocaine. That's pretty badass. Oh and did i mention that he killed a guy by ramming him with an underwater drill torpedo?
Oh, and he killed a guy by blowing him out of an airlock IN SPACE!
Double-O Bad-Ass.
-
Ash Williams introduced middle ages England to the twelve-gauge shotgun and killed his own doppleganger.
FUCK
YOUUUUU
-
And Capt, later Maj Reisman, was prepared to parachute behind enemy lines to infiltrate a Nazi base with 12 convicted criminals, most of whom want to kill him, as backup. After accomplishing the mission he steals a vehicle and drives out.
-
Justin is at least funny. Shia is just... Annoying, in a very well scripted way.
Also he looks like a girl.
Not in a good way.
Also, Long made an awesome slacker in 'Accepted'.
James Bond had an Aston Martin DB5 with built-in machine guns.
Indianna Jones had a horse... The Horse was stock and had no extras. Not even a CD player or an ejector seat.
-
Which, frankly, is a point in his favor, considering that he's attacked and disabled a tank from on horseback.
-
It hardly counts as a tank. That was a MkII Male tank. WWI vintage, and painfully out of date when the movie was set. Besides the only reason it went over the cliff is because Indiana was wimpy enough to need his DAD to shoot the driver... Of course, his Dad is Sean Connery, the greatest Bond ever, so it may be forgiveable for Mr. Jones to seek the assistance of a bigger badass... :wink:

Are you a gay?
-
Am I a gay what?
-
How can I be? Life is pain and people keep insisting that Indiana Jones is more of a Badass than James Bond.
Although there would probably be less pain in my life if I quit having ButtSechs with random guys.

Posting more Ash in a ridiculous thread
-
Person! are you a happy person?
I was poking fun at him, and making a Zach Galafianakis joke all in one. So pull the giant liberal stick out of your ass.
-
This argument is stupid. How Doctor Who and House featured prominently in it is beyond me. Stop choosing your crushes and don't mistake cynicism for badassery.
Ash Williams sawed off his own possessed hand with a chainsaw because it poked him in the eye.
"WHO'S LAUGHING NOW?! WHO'S LAUGHING NOOOOOOW?"
None of the other badasses in this thread would do this.
-
None of them were wimpy enough to be possessed.

Dr.McNinja would simply cut it off, cure it, and reattach it.

And all this time I thought you couldn't get any more bad-ass then Gordon Freeman.

Sometimes I hate the internet.
Edit: Someone make that Chris Cooley thing a GIF for me.

Possibly the most redundant thing to say on this forum, but whatever, I'm still going to say it:
You guys are weird.

I watch that .gif and I remember the woman saying, "Now I know how Catherine the Great felt"

Surprised he's not been mentioned yet since the comic talks about him a bit.

I'm sorely tempted to replace all the repeats of whatever the hell that cartoon is in this thread with repeats of KvP's picture of Omar instead, because seriously, you people have no idea.
-
What the shit is all this.
-
Is it okay to let this thread die now?
Edit:
Yeah, you're right. I figured it was recent enough from the last post made that it wouldn't matter much anyway.
-
(psst . . . by posting in it asking for it to die, you're actually keeping it alive . . .)
-
Irony?
Nah, just suck.
Maybe irony.
-
It feels weird to get such acidic replies from someone with an avatar like that.
-
Harry.
That cartoon is the Venture Brothers.
It is rad.
-
Harry, you could just lock it, then no one will be able to post in here any more.
-
Locking is a last resort. Locking is for offensive threads, or threads that are irredeemably stupid, not for threads that have run their course and that people are bored of now. Nobody's forcing anyone to read this thread, and we're all mature enough to ignore a thread if we're sick of it. I've said it before and I'll probably have to say it again - I'm a mod, not a baby-sitter!
Anyway, I couldn't possibly consider locking this thread until everyone has admitted that Omar from the Wire is infinitely more awesome than any other character mentioned in this thread so far. So I guess if anyone wants me to lock the thread, you all know what you have to do.
-
No! It can't die yet! We haven't got a definitive answer of who's more BadAss!
(Of course if we hold to that argument then the thread will probably outlast the Indy and Bond franchises.)
-
Oh, no I think we could come to a definite decision. I can simply edit the first post, and make a poll with all the candidates, then after a week or so. We will look at the poll, with an ultimate answer of who is the most badass.
It is the only logical way.
P.S: I'll do it when I am less intoxicated and wont get distracted.
-

The Bond franchise has lasted more than 40 years, I sense a challenge.
-
Who/What is more badass, James Bond or this thread?
-
The ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny (http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/showdown).
-
That was so very excellent.
-
I, on the other hand, love you. Mr Rogers for the win!
-
I'm sorry, but it's really all moot. The world's biggest badass is Mr Rogers.
I've known this for some time. Sorry. August 18, I posted it. And that flash is older than LOLCATS for chrissake. LOLCATS.
We're talking ... tronguy old.
-
Sorry surgoshan, you deserve your props. *props*
-
Thank you. Thank you. :sage nods and pompous bows:
-
Ultimate Showdown's good, but I'm always disoriented by trying to work out which side is the good guys... I mean, one side has Optimus Prime and the other side has Abraham Lincoln.
I prefer the much less morally ambiguous End of the World (http://www.endofworld.net/), although it does lose points for having two Alaskas.
(Although Alaska is awesome so I'll waive that point.)
-
There are sides in ultimate showdown? I thought it was just a brawl.
-
Nope, there are sides. Or else why did Optimus Prime help out Batman?
-
Its like Risk or Highlander, you only pick sides to give yourself time to stab that person in the back.
-

Yeah, same thing in four-square.
Seriously, the kids offer one another alliances.
-
gentlemen, really. have any of you considered the Man With No Name?
(http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd8/ytownpenguin/josey.jpg)
i mean, come on, he crossed a desert on foot with no water, then double-crossed the sadistic bastard that dragged him across said desert.
-
Plus he broke up not one but TWO criminal organizations, then took down a third organization.
Although, technically, Fistful of Dollars, Few Dollars More, and Good, Bad, Ugly don't make a trilogy. Leone never named it such and I think said it wasn't.
But my theory is that if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and has no name like a duck... it's a trilogy.
-
Ever seen any of the old Zatoichi movies? He's a blind swordsman. I mean, come on. He's blind, yet according to his movies, he fights better than all the other samurai and ninja in Japan! Come on!
-
And then you have Miyamoto Musashi who whittled a sword out of an oar and beat a master swordsman wielding a real sword. Japan's all about hyperbole and, frankly, anime.
-
Japan and Okinawa is all about "Hey look, farming equipment! Death to my enemies! *hoes somebody".
-
Speaking of hoes, I thought Japan was all about underage girls in revealing outfits being sexually assaulted by tentacled monsters, while geeky boys play with their phones in the background.
-
Fine. Ancient Japan.
-
Every single one of you is wrong.
The correct answer:

This motherfucker right here.
-
He'd be like "I must tap that sweet ass, FOR THE FREEDOM OF ALL SENTIENT BEINGS."
Then you'd give that shit up like it wasn't even yours to begin with.
-
Screw Miyamoto Musashi its all about Usagi Yojimbo
-
(http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/54/039_6720~Marlon-Brando-Posters.jpg)
i think we have a new contender.
i mean, you have to be pretty bad ass to have people name their kids Stella just so they can yell
"STELLLLLAAAA" all the time.
-
All you really need to win this argument is Harrison Ford.
The end.
-
It would seem the last 5 pages disagree with you.
-
I second Optimus fuckin' Prime.
