Dinosaurs vs. Star Wars

[TheBrassMan]

[17:25] <BrassMan> debating the pros and cons of the seperate trilogy is for newbs
[17:25] <BrassMan> or should I say
[17:25] <BrassMan> dino-haters
[17:25] <BrassMan> because that means the same thing
[17:25] <seer> dino-hater could mean you are religious
[17:25] <seer> as well
[17:26] * Dxfiler has joined #TheManaDrain
[17:26] <BrassMan> oh man
[17:26] <Dxfiler> STAR WARS, OBV.  that is all.
[17:26] * Dxfiler has left #TheManaDrain
[17:26] <[Klep]> haha
[17:26] <BrassMan> tha bastard
[17:26] <BrassMan> now I *know* dinosaurs are better

[Anusien]

For context:

[16:54] * BrassMan changes topic to 'French invade, America surrenders... | Dinosaur > Integrated Sword Gun > Gun > Sword.'
[16:58] * Anusien changes topic to 'French invade, America surrenders... | Lightsaber > Dinosaur > Integrated Sword Gun > Gun > Sword.'
[17:04] <BrassMan> wait what?
[17:04] <BrassMan> anusien is big gays
[17:05] <NinjaKai> what about
[17:05] <NinjaKai> a dinosaur
[17:05] <BrassMan> wtf a lightsaber can't beat a dinosaur
[17:05] <NinjaKai> with a lightsaber - integrated sword gun
[17:05] <NinjaKai> yes it can
[17:05] <BrassMan> the dinosaur just eats it
[17:05] <NinjaKai> the rancor :/
[17:05] <NinjaKai> and skywalker didn't even have his saber then iirc
[17:05] <BrassMan> uh, yeah, there wasn't a lightsaber anywhere near there
[17:05] <BrassMan> so that argument is pretty ridiculous
[17:06] <CF> the big beast on hoth..
[17:06] <CF> goes down to the saber
[17:06] <BrassMan> yeah
[17:06] <BrassMan> he does
[17:06] <BrassMan> but
[17:06] <BrassMan> point number one
[17:06] <BrassMan> jedi powers were used to acquire the saber when luke was tied up
[17:06] <[Klep]> wampa
[17:06] <BrassMan> the lightsaber alone didn't save him
[17:06] <BrassMan> jedi+light saber did it
[17:07] <BrassMan> point number two
[17:07] <NinjaKai> so ammend it to jedi + saber
[17:07] <BrassMan> a dinosaur could clearly eat a jedi with a lightsaber
[17:07] <CF> and what's an integrated sword gun?
[17:07] <CF> like a loxan war rifle?
[17:07] <[Klep]> it's a sword
[17:07] <CF>
[17:07] <[Klep]> that can also hosst bullets
[17:07] <[Klep]> shoot*
[17:08] <BrassMan> probably some other terrible star wars reference
[17:08] <[Klep]> sorry, have to switch keyboard layouts here in PA
[17:08] <CF> mine is a farscape reference
[17:08] <[Klep]> not a star wars reference
[17:12] <BrassMan> I'm just not impressed with the light saber as a weapon
[17:12] <BrassMan> it's nowhere near as sweet as a dinosaur
[17:13] <CF> how do you wield a dinosaur as a weapon?
[17:13] <CF> do tell..
[17:13] <[Klep]> mind control, obviously
[17:13] <CF> you and I meet in an ally. I have a lightsaber, you have a dinosaur
[17:13] <CF> how do -you- win
[17:13] <CF> we both lose. we're both eaten heh
[17:15] <Anusien> No.  Like, the dinosaur comes close to bite, and you take the head off.  It swings the tail, and you take the tail off
[17:15] <Anusien> etc etc etc
[17:15] <CF> yeah.. could be
[17:15] <CF> in magic fairy wonderland where people carry lightsabers and dinosaurs, it could happen
[17:17] <BrassMan> lol
[17:17] <BrassMan> [17:21] <CF> we both lose. we're both eaten heh
[17:17] <BrassMan> WINNAR
[17:18] <BrassMan> DINO WINS! DINO WINS!
[17:18] <Anusien> pfft
[17:18] <BrassMan> you're just sad because star wars is obv for newbs
[17:18] <seer> star wars sucks :\
[17:18] <BrassMan> unlike say
[17:18] <BrassMan> dinosaurs
[17:19] <BrassMan> omg someone needs to make a TMD thread
[17:19] <BrassMan> Star Wars v. Dinosaurs

[sa-x]

jedi mind control unfortunately wins over brutes like the dinos.

[EnialisLiadon]

I agree.  Also, if the jedi happens to be someone like Yoda, s/he could lift the dinosaur via force and just drop it and kill it that way.  I say it's no contest.  The force is broken.

[Jacob Orlove]

[Roxas]

I say I win, because I am neither fictional nor a fossil.

[Machinus]

You guys are the lamest nerds ever. There isn't even one Darth Tyranus joke in this entire thread. It's a freaking gimme!

[unknown.root]

Yoda wouldn't the whole Jedi thing would stop him, however he wouldn't let it kill him either.

A Sith however would enjoy the situation.

[zeus-online]

As much as i love dinosaurs....Jedi's would definetly beat them up...seriosly i think Jedi's are the reason that dinosaurs went extinct!

A long time ago.....

/Zeus

[Methuselahn]

Only if you have 40 Jedi, do the Jedi win.

[starfreakclone]

This is a joke right? Theres no contest. Ok lets assume that somehow a dinosaur gets to a jedi without him/her noticing, lets also assume that the dino is large enough to consume the jedi. Even if that senario existed there is no way in hell that the dinosaur would be fast enough to match the jedi's reflexes not to mention that they have a weapon (lightsabor) that can literally spaghettify the creature without even breaking a sweat, oh yeah did I mention that he can almost make the dino into a puppet with its walnut sized brain using the force?
Jedi beat Dinosaurs hands down!

[Limbo]

Insanely large dinos even lose from a single Jedi. Without their lightsabre. Chained to a wall. While not having eating for weeks (the dino that is).

Nuff said...

[Godder]

I think it depends on which Jedi are involved.

[Machinus]

Jedi kill dinosaurs all the time. The dinosaur's only chance is to somehow distract the Jedi and sneak up on them, and even then it would have to be a Jedi apprentice.

[Jacob Orlove]

The question is not "who would win in a fight?" The correct question is "which is more awesome?" and that's easy to answer (hint: Episode 1 was not awesome).

[Machinus]

I don't think ANH detracts at all from the awesomeness of Jedi. Big lizards just don't compare to the force.

[Jacob Orlove]

ANH was episode four. And despite what everyone is posting, this is not "Dinosaurs vs. Jedi". It is in fact "Dinosaurs vs. Star Wars", and no provisions were made for the exclusion of the prequels.

[Machinus]

Meant to type TPM. There are tons of bad dinosaur movies though, way worse than jar jar.

[Matt]

Dinos play the "existence" card FTW

[Jacob Orlove]

Sure, but dinosaurs are not defined by those movies. I mean, I could have brought up the Ewok movies, or worse stuff, but those are only peripheral to "Star Wars", just as Jurassic Park is only peripheral to "Dinosaurs".

[zeus-online]

The empire strikes back is infinitely better then any dinosaur movie, book or any knowledge we have of dinosaurs.
At least thats my opinion. And i love The first Jurassic park movie, but its still no contest at all!

May the force be with you, always.

Jacob, you're making some pretty heady assumptions regarding the Dinosaurs-JP/Star Wars-Jedi relationships.  It's true, Jurassic Park, et al, movies provide only a narrow insight into the awesomeness that is Dinosaurs.  Similarly, however, Star Wars movies only provide a narrow insight into the awesomeness of Jedi, etc. 

If you had been alive* long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away you would certainly have a higher opinion of the Jedi, etc.



If you (not just Jacob any more) truly wish to compare a movie on the subject of Thing A vs. the actual Thing B, your comparison is a farce. 
For example: 
- Chuck Norris > *, but
- a Chuck Norris movie is only approximately > 99.99999999999999999999999999 9999% of *.




* I thought you'd have at least visited said long, long time ago... in your travels, but I understand if it was too far, far away.

Not to go off topic, but I really must wonder how different "Bikini Girls on Dinosaur Planet" is from "Bikini Goddesses." I have a feeling they include mostly the same... erm... "plot elements."

[Limbo]

Yup, the same two of 'm.

\me hops back on topic: If you can't decide, why not let google decide for you?. Now it is scientifically proven that Star Wars is approximately 6.335 times better then Dinosaurs.

[wethepeople]

Why is it that everyone automatically assumes that "dinosaurs" means a piece of shit t-rex. What about terrodactals?

Would you want to fight a terrodactal? I think not. Regardless of whether or not you've got that "force" bullshit, or even a lightsaber, terrodactals have you won. I rest my case.

Oh yeah, the masses are such a good indicator, lets keep in mind these are the same people who are responsible for reality TV, the LA riots, and the death of Socrates.  Real winners.

I'd like to use this time to remind everyone that dinosaurs are only responsible for one thing.  Sheer awesomeness.

[Matt]

Also hastening the death of Ringo Starr's career.

Because, as Magic players, we read our Anthony Alongi, and, to quote him:

Most Americans grow up thinking of Tyrannosaurus Rex as the ultimate dinosaur. (I'm not trying to exclude non-Americans. It's enough to make this sweeping generalization about 300 million people; but if those of you elsewhere also grew up thinking about dinosaurs the same way…well, then, there's a chance at world peace.) Despite declarations every year by paleontologists that they've found something “even more terrifying” – ultrasaurs, or supa-rexes, or whatever the heck they come with next – the fact is, nothing will dethrone the T-Rex.

Also, as Andy points out, Dinosaurs are only capable of being awesome.  Star Wars is capable of doing other things, as are Jedi.  Again, it's not "Who would win in a fight," it's "Which leaves the fewest asses, overall, unkicked?"  Answer:  dinos.

[Machinus]

BrassMan's fox-style collage has omitted the only relevant information on this topic:



You know why there aren't any Dinosaurs left? THEY GOT BLOWN UP!

And on the subject of nubs, you know what happens to dinosaur geeks? They wet their pants out of fear and get EATEN, just like in JP3. Star Wars geeks just own a bigger house than you do.
