MoeFOH Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 Last qualifier for the World Cup of giants in the text/film series semis... The Matrix, LOTR, and Star Wars are already through. There are a lot of texts we could have included but only so many can fit in -- two giants of a very different type do battle this week. You know the drill: read the question, vote on the poll, elaborate in the thread if you so desire. Voting participants go into the draw for an El Pres sampler! - Drawn next Wednesday (Aus local time). All about 50/50... 50/50 is a weekly poll where we find out whether or not some serious bones of contention questions can be finally be buried or will instead remain above ground as a fleshy 50/50 debate... you know, such weighty issues as these... If given no other option: do you prefer Hunnicutt or Trapper in M*A*S*H? Connery or Moore as Bond? Apple or PC? Smooth or Crunchy peanut butter? do you prefer wearing men's or women's underwear? Sacrificing chickens or virgins? ...that sort of standard fare. Vote in the poll and further bolster your standpoint in the thread below if you wish. Poll Votes are public and there's a couple of sticks up for grabs for participants. Also, PM me Polls that you'd like me to conduct on 50/50 and there'll be a prize for those we decide to use.
Justin Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 That one is a little tougher but have to go with Bond. It just transcends too many generations to wipe it away.
inter4alia Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 This one is really tough. Personally, I enjoy Bond more than Marvel. However, I think Marvel is much more important to society as a whole. So, I'll sacrifice my personal feelings for the good of society. I voted to keep Marvel.
Jbhunter223 Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 Im with @Colt45 Only chose marvel because of Deadpool. 1
earthson Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 Gotta keep marvel - those books were fantastic when I was growing up. I never quite understood the appeal of Bond.
Fuzz Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 Easy pick. I've been a fan of Marvel a lot longer, plus I don't like the recent bunch of Bond films. And I have a huge collection of comic books and comics related collectibles.

srbbones Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 Easy for me to. The nostalgia of Marvel for me >>> Bond
Ry27 Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 This is tough, bc the Bond series might surely be in ruined with their new PC move. Changing the main character so drastically can't be good...Marvel it is
JoeyBones777 Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 Marvel is great for kids and adults alike. I enjoy Bond but not as much as I enjoy watching my kids enjoy Marvel while I also enjoy Marvel!

Wailbait Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 I’m very biased because I happen to like James Bond A LOT, but this vote is closer than I thought it would be.
Bucky McSwensen Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 All is the key word here. Bond books are not good, movies are outstanding. marvel comics, art, games, and then movies are outstanding. Can't give up all that.
MigsG Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die." NOT! Ciao, Marvel 1
dobbs Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 keep marvel, though i screwed up in the voting and picked bond. -dobbs
Deeg Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 Marvel, only because it would severely lessen the corrosive impact superhero movies have had on the U.S. film industry creatively. Hate to throw the baby out with the bathwater because some of those movies have been good, but if it’s all or nothing - C ya.
alloy Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 Bond...James Bond... Shaken, not stirred Ms. Moneypenney Goldfinger The Bond Girls Octopussey Marvel, really????? 1
Fuzz Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 I am surprised Bond is leading the way on this. The impact Marvel has had, not just in cinema, TV or comics, is enormous. Heck, ignore Marvel for a second, and just look at the impact comics as a whole has had on society. Comics (and by extension Marvel) has shape and reflect our culture. Personally, I doubt we would have advanced as far as we are now as a society without comics. 1
