Who Would Win In A Fight? Vol II, No. I

That's right, baby! It's a reboot! Some of you old-heads may recognize some of these from Vol. I, herewith known as WWWIAF Classic, but it's been long enough that I think they deserve a fresh look.

The rules are the same: Each contestant is in their fightin' prime, and fight within their idiom unless otherwise indicated. Without further ado:

What's with the not voting for yourself, fool? Are you your own worst enemy?

Also, the peanut gallery did not know who Mal was. I think I will have to fire them.

WTF? What are they, Amish?

[identity profile] xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com 2009-06-10 03:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I wish. It would be a better explanation than anything I actually got from them.

Worse, they had no clue who Lee Adama was, either. FAIL

I would like to see an Episode IV-era Han Solo in a mostly naked, baby-oiled fistfight with Mal. That'd be pretty cool.

Can I score with the wingman and call it a night?

I think I need to change my pants....

Switch out Malcom Reynolds for Lee Adama and I gleefully concur.

I'll be in my bunk.

QFT.

Oh, yes. *fans self*

[identity profile] shellefly.livejournal.com 2009-06-10 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'd buy a ticket to see that action.

Han would win the fistfight, because he'd bring a gun.

I love Mal, but ultimately he makes more mistakes than Han does. Kirk's ego would get in the way. So Han's the man for captain too. Mal gets to babysit though because although they'd all be crap at it, Mal would at least do his best.

[identity profile] xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com 2009-06-09 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, if we're bringing technology into it -- Han would still be reaching for the gun while Mal kicked him into the engines. ;-)

But Galactica has that whole Fight Club thing going on, so Apollo gets more practise in the bare knuckle fist fight area. I think he wins.

Han avoids fist fights and Mal gets beat up a lot...

[identity profile] yagathai.livejournal.com 2009-06-09 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm confused by all the Han votes here. I don't recall him fighting with his fists at all in the movies, and certainly not nearly as much as Kirk or Mal.

[identity profile] dje2004.livejournal.com 2009-06-09 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
He had one fist fight that I can remember. It was in ROTJ, when he was trying to sneak up on the biker scout and failed his stealth roll.

I'd personally go with Shatner/Kirk, b/c not only did he get into a lot of fistfights, but he had his own fist-fighting music too.

I got my Adamas mixed up. I was thinking of the father. Too late to change my vote.

[identity profile] yagathai.livejournal.com 2009-06-09 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
No, you can always change your vote.

[identity profile] blanchemains.livejournal.com 2009-06-09 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Adama is like the Chuck Norris of space! *Of course* he would win in any fight!

"I'm not threatening you. I'm unarmed." "Good."

[identity profile] dear-amaranth.livejournal.com 2009-06-09 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
See, I remember a scene where he stood there smiling as someone lifted a gun and shot him point blank in the chest. :P

[identity profile] the-corbie.livejournal.com 2009-06-10 09:29 am (UTC)(link)
Just my point. Invite the others to a fistfight, and they'll bring their fists. Han would never even consider turning up at a fistfight without bringing a gun. Or Chewie. Or both.

about the babysitting -

I concur because " if someone tries to kill you, well then you just try and kill them right back. "

[identity profile] upstart-crow.livejournal.com 2009-06-09 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
You do know that I always vote for you in these things, right? Except for that one question where I had to vote for Han. ;3

And don't think I don't appreciate it!

[identity profile] lawbabeak.livejournal.com 2009-06-09 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Can't I just score with my wingman?

[identity profile] yagathai.livejournal.com 2009-06-09 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
... no. Alien parasites won't let you.

[identity profile] spyderqueen.livejournal.com 2009-06-09 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
1) is Mal because Mal would cheat and play dirty.

2) Because original Kirk was pretty badass in a space fight and had no words for Diplomacy in his internal dictionary

3) You because I don't trust any of the other guys to not just leave with the chick.

4) Frankly, none of those people should be left with a kid, but Lee is occasionally emotionally wussy enough to ooh and aww and not get the kid killed. Then again, I don't want kids so that's not really a deal breaker.

More than those dudes. Also, you'd have a harder time using the "wanna see my spaceship?" pickup line.

Point. Note to self: Acquire spacegoing vessel.

Kirk just wins. It's what he does.

[identity profile] darknbitter.livejournal.com 2009-06-10 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
because he rewrote the rules of the contest to allow him to win? Okay, I'll buy that for a dollar.

[identity profile] harrytheheir.livejournal.com 2009-06-10 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Dude, I don't know why Bill Adama isn't an option. Clearly he could kick everybody else's ass _and_ go all Stand And Deliver on misbehaving children.
