Old Man Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Sapphire will last longer. Titanium or carbon fiber? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Carbon Fiber (and graphene & nanotubes could be called a fiber) as a layer on top of titanium, for extra strength. Carbon Graphene or Carbon Nanotubes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Carbon Nanotubes because NANO is a great sci-fi- buzz term. Both seem to have be made of swiss cheese, but... Arkham Asylum vs the Phantom Zone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Phantom Zone. The rent's cheaper. Megalomaniac versus Psychotic Killer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Who lasts longer Keith Richards vs the Universe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Keith Richards is already dead - he died sometime back in the '70's, but the message hasn't gotten through all the drugs to his brain yet. At this rate he will outlast the Universe. Nuclear vs. Biological weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Deja vu? Nuclear is faster, in theory. Rocks or sharp sticks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Whichever you can get your hands on. which is less painful: 5 minutes of political news vs a kick to the gonads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Both may stay with you but a kick to the gonads can be relieved with more ease. You can do something about more about the kick than political news. Who can shape change better ? Changeling (Marvel) vs Martian Manhunter (DC) [no other powers can be used] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoloOfEarth Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Martian Manhunter. Have you seen that crazy head-thing Changeling wears? Speaking of wacky headgear: Ringmaster (Marvel) vs. Mad Hatter (DC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 The Mad Hatter because hats are his thing. They are DEAD !!!!! Starman (DC) http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/William_Payton_(New_Earth) vs The Sentry (Marvel) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Starman, since he was a character and not a collection of traits masquerading as one. Starman (movie) vs E.T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 What I really hear is "Dee Wallace or Karen Allen". Karen Allen because freckles. The great creators... Stan Lee or Zeus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Jason had a much better sense of direction. Love at first bite... Jaws (Moonraker) vs Jaws (Spielberg/Benchly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Moonraker version, he gave a shark a chomp in the previous movie (plus he got the cute girl in the glasses at the end of Moonraker) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Which is worse? Being decimated vs. being smited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Smiting is worse. In decimation, you only lose one man in ten. Essay exams or story problems? Netzilla 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Essay exams or story problems? They're both a PITA to grade, but story problems usually come back to my desk much less coherently completed. Some people just won't even try the math. To Sleep, Perchance to Dream: Insomnia vs. Narcolepsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 They're both a PITA to grade, but story problems usually come back to my desk much less coherently completed. Some people just won't even try the math. To Sleep, Perchance to Dream: Insomnia vs. Narcolepsy As a sidenote: My mother mentioned one time, that in high school that math word problems made her want to cry. Back to thread. Insomnia is worse, you get to be aware (and from experience, once you get past 40 hours without sleep, you start thinking of quite irrational things to try to make you go to sleep) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Battlefield Earth vs Plan 9 from Outer Space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 You can enjoy Plan 9 from Outer Space. It is so Bad it is Good. Battlefield Earth had sequels. Lots of sequels. And they are awful. Who is the best assassin ? Deathstroke (DC) vs Scaramanga (The Man With The Golden Gun) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Shadow Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Deathstroke, Bond killed Scaramanga far too easily for him to even be in the same category. Which make the more interesting characters? The DC approach: Gods with weaknesses, or the Marvel approach: People with powers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoloOfEarth Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Marvel: People with powers. The readers / viewers are typically going to be people, not gods, so they can relate better. Who is screwed up more?US government vs. UK government. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
