Oh, and not to spam. But what about…

Ghostbusters versus Raziel?

I actually have no idea how that'd wind up. I feel like I'm the only one who really follows Soul Reaver, though.

Kain is a lot more killable, though.

You guys kick ass together, the chemistry is just hilarious.

Dude, I just looked Geoff Desmoulin's (Biomedical Scientist/Meat head) resume. The dude has two Master's degrees (Biomedical Engineering and Kinesiology) and is currently working on a PhD in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Calgary.

So, I guess Armand is basically Dr. McCoy, looking at wounds and saying “He's dead, Geoff”…

Robocop VERSUS… JOHN RAMBO! Round one, FIGHT!

The Nerd knows a lot about godzilla ask him

Oh, Fantasy Warrior? Awesome Let's see. Hmm.

Yor, Hunter from the Future vs. Batman, the World's Greatest Detective. Special items will be petrified beast of the night and memory fabric flying cape.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles vs.The Planeteers. Special weapons should probably be the Turtle Van vs. Captain Planet.

And lastly…

The Gunstar (from The Last Starfighter) vs. The Incom T-65 X-Wing Fighter! Okay, this one is more of a dog fight than a warrior fight, but damnit I want to see two awesome space fighters fight one another at least once.

And if none of that happens, how about The Deadliest Critic instead? Hmm? Linkara, the all-knowing comic guru, trained by Shao-lin monks to read the worst comics imaginable, and carrying a magical gun…. vs The Nostalgia Critic, a dangerous movie critic from the tough streets of Chicago, with a 9mm in hand that was reported to have killed no less than 100 movie and TV characters….

Come on, you know you want to see it. Watch Linkara bust out a 'Bat Creditcard' though. Just saying….

Spoony, Custer was defeated with gunpowder. In fact, it was the native's superior fire power (they used repeating rifles) that won the day for them against Custer's own guns (which were accurate, and powerful, but slow as balls).

Also Apache =/= Ceyenne mountain tribes.

space marine vs. masterchief?

Star Trek Vs Star Wars!
No… that would engulf this entire site in an atomic flame war.

The lack of any real scientific method on this show pisses me off to no end. That being said, I still do end up watching every damn episode. it at the very least stirs up controversy between me and my friends.

yeah this show is dumb, but it is fun. i mean, if we really want to talk about worst shows to ever air on spike tv, we have to talk about manswers.

The Imperrium (Warhammer 40k) versus a joint alliance between the Federation (Star Trek) and the Empire (Star Wars). It must be an alliance, since the Imperrium has far more manpower and, in the end, probably better firepower.

Good morning, Spoony and fellow Spooners.

IDEA1: Title for the series…The Fatality-est Fantasy Fighter
IDEA2: Character battle…The Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog from “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” vs. the Shai-Hulud from “Dune”
IDEA3: Weapon battle…The Glaive from Krull vs. the Point of View Gun from “The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy”

Death Star vs. Hyper Space Gurren Lagann

WHO IS DEADLIEST?

Superman vs. Sylar?

THE KILLER BUNNY OF CAEBANNOG vs. SUPERMAN!
WHO IS DEADLIEST!

Now I honestly want to see the Riders of Rohan vs. the Spartans.

I'd kinda like to see Jet Jaguar Vs. Ultraman!

i saw this in a game show about television and a fight between Taliban and i.r.a (!?) was mentioned…just watch lol :')
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msFljrJ7M4A

Ya, James Rolfe is the guy to talk to for Godzilla.

Squall Leonhart vs Tidus! Who is DEADLIEST!

Excellent point about James Rolfe. However I would also suggest trying to talk with Shin-Goji over at neomonsterisland.com, since he has gained a rep for collecting and analyzing Japanese movie monsters (his specialty being the Toho studios line)..

Hey Spoony great vlog, first time commenter, long time watcher, Just have to Say that you are right i am from N Ireland and had never seen this show, upon hearing you mention the IRA i had to find the episode that showed the IRA and realised that it is a big pile of DOG SHIT being from the country and being a student of history with knowledge of IRA tatics it is so inaccurate you are right and their so called experts don't know anything. The guy who talks about the IRA has a scottish accent not irish he may be his descendant but thats about it.

Mechagodzilla is where it's at… I'd highly recommend looking up the 1974/1975 version (there are three different versions total, but the oldest one is the best and most destructive).

Shoots red lasers from its belly and mouth; shoots missiles from its fingers and toes; can spew fire from its nostrils; can shoot multicolored beams from its eyes; can fly via rockets under its feet; can spin its head so fast it can create a nearly impenetrable forcefield; can shoot in front of itself with its accessories on its body and toes while simultaneously having its arms and head turned the opposite way shooting behind it; can rotate hands while shooting (machine gun-esque); specializes in a sort of karate close combat style, due to hands being flat; when disguised in its Godzilla “costume”, can shoot a golden radioactive beam (whereas Godzilla's is blue); when head is pulled off, has a miniature cyborg-esque head that shoots a very powerful beam.

…Geeked out a bit, pardon.

BOTH!….wait NO! I was talking about my Golbat from Pokemon: HeartGold I called him Alucard!

wait, how about the other Fights?

I see exactly where your coming from spoony but yeah this show is my guilty pleasure :) and yeah the last 10 minutes of the show are the best if i could i'd just skip to that

and if you don't do Goku vs Superman i'll be mad >:(

Batman vs Sherlock Holmes

Insano vs Lex Luthor

Freakazoid vs Animaniacs

THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS

If he's serious about mechagodzilla that's a real uphill battle cause like… witch Mechagodzilla, are we talking the original? the second? The third? The remade third? and the original Megazord? with like it's sword and… that's it. The fans will riot Spoony! they will string you up by your nipples! Especially since ya know the Megazord is undefeated, and Mechagodzilla has NEVER won a straight up fight -.-'…

You have dug your own GRAVE SPOONY!

MECHAGODZILLA X MEGAZORD!!!!
I JUST JIZZED IN MY PANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sylvester Stallone Cobra vs. Cobra Commander

Oh my god that sounds so awesome! James Rolfe is a big Godzilla fan, maybe you can get him be the expert. I like the randomness of Ash vs. Kirk but what about Kirk vs. Picard? That matter finally needs to be settled! Or how about The Harlem Globetrotters vs. Pinhead and those S&M-ish creatures from the Hellraiser movies.

Oh ya! More Miles! These are always my favorite vlogs. like avatar and T2. I DEMAND MORE MILES SPOONY ACTION!

Everyone always harps on about the classic Mechagodzilla… but MechaG 2 would wipe the floor with the original! synthetic diamond-coated armor, plasma grenades… although the shock anchor would probably not do too much and OH MY GOD!! I'm actually over-analyzing this and I feel totally geek-guilty!!! damn you Spoony! Your awesome idea will end up corrupting us all!! Sending us into never-ending spirals of pointless arguments, distracting us away from our real lives with bullshit… I think you sir are Dr. Insano in disguise and your brother in this video was nothing more than a mechanical construct! great… now I'm over-analyzing you too…

Nice to see Miles riding shotgun on another vlog. Makes me think there's hope for my boys to act civil like one day. I knew you were going to announce your own version of this show. The subtle hint of delusion at the end there was a nice touch.

How about Spoony vs … who was that girl you uppercut during the Epic Battle? It would be fun to see you get your ass handed to you =p.

Good luck with this new venture!

I'm starting to wonder if Deadliest Warrior really is a poorly made RPG in TV form, I mean, you have nonsensical random encounters, dodgy combat mechanics and nonsensical nerfs. Now all they're lacking is funny hair, and we're ready for launch… oh, and a story, I suppose.

Historically speaking, Ninjas has never existed. The very vocabulary of “Ninja” was created during and after the Second World War, when America got a hold of the samurai sword and the mysterious “Kung Fu” in China. There are more details to be told, but I think its enough to just tell you this much.

Raistlin Majere VS Doctor Strange. Book it!

Oh and that guy who wrote the article about you on that Wing Commander board , what a useless guy. For all of his 12 paragraphs manifesto, I have no idea what his problem was other than you took a shot at his fan boy love affair. You were specific about the problems you had with the movie. Yeah, there was some comedic value added but everything you said made a good point. Its not like some people on the internet who just say “I don't like it because it sucks.” You bring a lot more to the table than most people. That guy really got under my skin and I'd like to give him a piece of my mind.

Thanks for reminding me why I don't watch Spike.

Noah: Quit interrupting Miles. :P
Miles: Wake up, dude! XD

Awesome v-log as usual! (You guys are adorable when you're ranting about something) I had caught this show once, briefly, and I agree, this show is such bull, but at least the fighting at the end is awesome =)

Also The Master from Doctor Who vs. Magneto from Xmen!

This kind of reminds me of a show I used to watch a while back. I don't remember if it was on National Geographic or Animal Planet, but they had animals fight each other. Like a lion vs a tiger or an elephant vs a rhino or a polar bear vs a grizzly bear. But this show was much more scientific than the one your describing. They took into account terrain, the animals bite force, size of the claws, teeth, or whatever other weapon or tactic the animal used, under what circumstances would these animals meet each other, and things like that. They had teams for each animal, with actual experts on said animal so no team stayed the same. First they would gather data, sometimes even building a mechanical version of the animal, and then do a simulation at the end of the show. It was one of my favorite shows and pretty educational too. I think this show should have been put into a better suited channel like discovery or history channel.

By the way if you need flash animations for your little show idea I'd be happy to help. I've got Adobe Flash CS4 and I've been looking for something to do with it. Send me an e-mail at cam_quevedo@yahoo.com if you'd like me to do so. :D

More ideas

Adama vs Picard
Drizzt vs Thrall
Predator vs Wolverine
A Na'vi warrior vs Worf
Agent Smith vs Gandalf

I think you should ask the AVGN because I think his knowledge on Godzilla is very great.

For deadliest fantasy warrior I woul suggest Jedi vs Dragon. It' about time we put an end to this dispute.

Well, my vote would be for MechaGodzilla, because the MegaZord is solar powered which is a huge fucking handycap, were as the showa era MechaGodzilla is basically a kaiju sized terminater powered by a control box inside a pissed off cyborg chick who hates humanity.

Angel statues from doctor who vs The gargoyles from Disney
this is where we separate the boulder from the pebbles.

Astro boy vs. Jet Jaguar

Obi Wan Kenobi vs. Gandalf

Predator vs. the robot from Robowar

Johnny 5 vs. Wall-E

Love the new series idea, sounds hilarious :D. Given your history, you know you have to put Squall up against someone.

Squall v Yor maybe? :D

I think the whole Star Wars vs Star Trek argument has been played out.

Space marine (From warhammer 40k) Vs. Dante (From devil may cry)
Predator Vs. Commander Sheppard & 2 of his crew
Rorschach Vs. Volverine (EPIC BATTLE OF EPIC BADASS PROPORTIONS!!!)
Kratos Vs. Prince of Persia
Max Payne Vs. Niko Bellic
Yor Vs. Hal9000

WHO’S THE DEADLIEST?!

OH GOD! This idea is so frigging awesome! Spoony if you don’t do it we will kill you!
Also interrupting your brother in the middle of his line is quite rude you know? ^_^

Ask james the angry video game nerd since he loves the godzilla movies. AVGN vs. Linkara.

I did some research on gladiators recently, and I would like to voice my differing opinion on one point. From what I found out, it seems that the “low-rent” arenas where precisely where gladiators did NOT intentionally kill each other. The gladiators in the city of Rome were set to fight to the death since that’s where the wealth of the empire flowed to. They could afford to go buy and train people just to kill them off. The Romans at the periphery liked gladiator fights just as much, but they had less money to spend organizing them, so they wanted their gladiators to last.

Say what you will, but i LOVE this show.

:P

I doubt he could get the nerd on board considering James works with spike tv and having him slam one of spikes original shows would be akward at best.

Lara Croft v. Zero Suit Samus (Yes, I know, I know)
Iron Man v. Samus in Varia Suit
Kratos v. Wolverine
Ultramarines v. Master Chief
Scott Pilgrim v. Deathklok from Metalocolypse
The group from Zombieland v. the group from Dawn of the Dead (both versions) v. STARS
Anyone v. Mr. Rodgers (from Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny)
Sentry v. Superman
Godzilla v. Cthulhu
Captain America v. Steven Colbert
and of course…

PIRATE V. NINJA!!!!!

The reason this show fails is because its on fuckin Spike. It would be more appropriate on Discovery or the Science Channel, or better yet the History Channel.

I’m surprised Spoony didn’t comment on the constant cock contests between the “so called” experts, or the fact that the “biomedical engineer meathead” also happens to be a karate black belt….right

If there are two things that piss me off, it would have to be idiotic thickheads who feel the need to constantly prove their masculinity and false science.

IF YOU DON’T DO THIS THOU SHALL BE FLAMED

LINK vs ARAGON

Nah but in all seriousness it was a very funny and entertaing Vlog. Great work Spoony

Aren't their something like 5 Mechagodzillas and a dozen Megazords? Which pair do you mean?

Gamera vs. Batman
Mike vs. Joel
Maniac from Wing Commander (the games) vs. Maverick from Top Gun
Warhammer 40K Orks vs. Picard
Tyranids vs. Zerg

In one of the episodes,my boyfriend noticed that Geiger was actually inputting his data in Excell. Now whether that was just a collection tool, or the “advanced software” is =sum() on Excell we may never know.

And before anyone asks, I can’t remember which episode it was.

I never cared about it but I seriously raged at “SWAT vs GSG9″ for some reason.

Love the idea! Black Dynamite vs Duke Nukem HELL YES!

I love those vlogs, simply for those bursts of enthusiasm ! It really is wonderful to get a glimpse of what kind of guy you are with no script or props : your sense of humour, the way you actually get enraged or fired up, it’s just great. You must be a great guy to hang around with.

And I want more Miles, more shy endearing moments of solitude ! Miles, the intarwebz loves you ! Get this man in front of a camera more often, we need to cure that unease !

some good fictional charter fights: clef the boy chin wonder vs harry potter, metal knight vs Yoda, starscreem vs treebeard, and jesus vs batman

But you keep watching it, ergo, the show does it's job. It's SUPPOSED to be controversial, and it's not exactly supposed to truly delve into the sciences of it. Rant against “1000 ways to Die” or something, I mean, that's a show that sucks shit.

So most simply we can say that science is “who would win if they would fight fair?” American TV…..damn.

You forgot to mention that, in that show, they don’t even talk about the advantages of the homeland of the fighter. Some of them are built to fight in tundra (Vikings) and others in the savannah (the ‘African tribe’ guy), everything in this show is bullshit but, as you say, because of the final fight, they are almost (only almost ^^) apologized :P.

PS : i don’t agree with what you say about mythbusters. I love the show, but in science, you ALWAYS make a theoretical approach of the situation (forces on the system, effects of gravity, pressure, et cetera…) BEFORE you waste material in blind testing, and they don’t always do that. Well, we all forgive that because they always rocks, and i totally agree with that ;) !

Holy shit, i want to see these fights you’re planning to show :P ! Well, Muad’Dib against the Alien Queen is the one fight i REALLY wait to see !

Spoony Death match:

Spoontok vs Ultimate Spoony Warrior
Spoony Squall vs Black Lantern Spoony
Dr Insano vs Female Spoony

Cross overs:

Spoony Turl vs Nostalgia Dr. Smith
Spencer D. Bum vs Chester A Bum
Burton vs Pollo

mechgodzilla vs megazord mega zord would when cause he is a god and mechagodzilla is a space robot i now both so u can email me about mecha godzilla

I agree spoony! My friends and I had been talking about how un-scientific Deadliest Warrior was, YESTERDAY. Thank you for validating my opinions with your own reasoning.

On a “I am going to correct you because I can” note. Crossbows take longer to reload then normal bows (at least the heavier, armor piercing ones do), they cannot penetrate plate mail (at least not the better full plate, plate was frequently “proof marked” by being shot with a war crossbow at point blank and only leaving a dent). You are right though, they were very high velocity, high penetration, and very long range.

SPOONY!

(I hope you see this…)

I know how you should do the fight!

MUGEN!

Design the characters in the Mugen open source 2D Side Scrolling fighting engine, then have them fight it, and record it. Hey, it will probably be as accurate as the Slytherin Studios combat engine right?

There’s a series from a few years back called Conquest. It starred Peter Woodward (Galen from Babylon 5: Crusade). It was sort of like Deadliest Warrior, except it focused only on the weapons and tactics (not fictional fights between two “champions”), thus was somewhat more tolerable.

For instance, the episode involving knights looked at chainmail vs. plate and various weapons such as falchion, spear, sword, bow/crossbow, and hammer and how well each one did against said armor.

I love the idea!

Now to the point.

Jack the Ripper Vs. Hannibal Lector

I would totaly like to see Samus fight Mega Man. Who has the deadliest arm cannon thing.
James Rolf(the AVGN) knows everything about everything from godzilla (just watch his godzilla-athon episodes).

I believe I saw someone suggest Goku vs Superman? I’m gonna have to second that. It must be done.

VELOCIRAPTOR VS. YOR
STEPHEN KING VS M. NIGHT SHAYMALAN
MAN VS. WILD VS SURVIVORMAN
SWAT KATS VS JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS
BATMAN VS. NATHAN DRAKE
SQUALL VS DOCTOR WHO

I’m so glad you did this video. If this video had been done in the first season, I would have been dumb and disagreed with you. But after the Hun vs Alexander episode I realized how flawed the show must be. I mean they never properly tested The armor of Alexander and had him lose to Hun. Another good point you made about Mythbusters method of testing being better that “deadliest warrior”. I hated how in “Capone vs Jesse James” that every shooting while riding/driving test they never repeated the test and got averages like myth-busters does.

Great Video. Have you thought about doing a vlog on 1,000 ways to die? I’ve seen several stories that I’m sure are impossible.

Hey Spoony!

I’m a long time viewer, first-time commenter.

I LOVE this show idea of yours and would like to offer my services as an animator for it. It sounds like alot of fun, and good practice.

If you click my name it will take you to an animated sequence I did. Though, Youtube kinda butchered the crayon texture I was going for, and I made it a year ago (my skills have grown since then).

Drop me an E-mail if you’re interested.

So this is another show that you watch in order to get pissed off at it. That is at least two shows, and there are probably more shows that you watch to get pissed off at that you’re not telling your audience (just a hunch).

I’m going to take a leap in my theory and say: hatred is your personal cup of coffee.

I love the idea! Now straight to the point.

Jack the Ripper Vs. Hannibal Lector

I though that would be cool.

Batman vs Superman or Superman vs Goku. These matters need to be settled.

Maybe have WW3/Pissed off black adam vs World War Hulk era Hulk.

Also Xenomorphs vs the Zerg.

I’ll watch whatever you end up doing though. Fictional Vs battles are always fun.

if you are looking for people who know about mechagodzilla james rolfe(the nerd) is a godzilla fan but for a few ideas for fantasy warrior would be
power rangers vs team america
meca streisand vs mecagodzilla
left 4 dead cast vs the resident evil cast hope this helps in anyway.

Agreed with Angry Video Game Nerd. He’d be perfect for Mechagodzilla.

Also i’d love to see a Pokémon trainer make an appearance in the fantasy deadliest warrior. That would be hilarious.

Hey Spoony here are som ideas I think are good for your “Fantasy Deadliest Warrior” –
Jason Voorhees vs. The Terminator
Wolverine vs. Predator
John Rambo vs. John McClain
The Power Rangers vs. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Superman vs. The Hulk
The Tick vs. Freakazoid
Freddy Krueger vs. Hit-Girl
Conan the Barbarian vs. Beowulf
Optimus Prime vs. King Kong
James Bond vs. Batman
Robocop vs. Judge Dredd
Spider-Man vs. Harley Quinn
Darth Vader vs. Iron Man
Race Bannon vs. Indian Jones
Harry Callahan vs. “Scarface” Tony Montana

They’re just som suggestions.

Nice job with the V-log!

I too am a watcher of Deadliest Warrior, and I admit that you had me nodding the entire way through – it’s all completely true.

The concept of tactics never makes an impact to them – it’s always the “bump into each other in a green, verdent forest” kind of encounter.

And why do you even go through the concept of Swat vs. GSG-9? They’re both designed for hostage rescue, as opposed to actual combat.

As far as each character’s role in the show goes, I have to agree with you… The meathead (as you called him) was a Canadian Special Forces officer, if I recall. Giving him say in terms of deadliness with rifles might make sense, as he’s clearly used them before. I remember such a case in the IRA vs. Spetsnaz episode where when it came to choosing a rifle, it came down to HIS personal preference. Real fucking scientific, guys!

The rest doesn’t need to be mentioned – you pretty much hit the nail on the head.

I must say, your Fantasy Warrior idea intrigues me greatly. I’d love to see something as stupid as the often debated Superman vs. Goku (DBZ) debate, with Linkara working double-time on Superman’s behalf. You might be able to get someone from Team Four Star to work for Goku… if they’re still working with TGWTG?

Sorry for such a bland idea, but it’s all I’ve got!

Keep up the good work, Spoony!

Great vlog as always Spoony.Btw

Caleb(Blood 1 and 2) vs. Duke Nukem
Ness (Earthbound/Mother 2) vs Edgar (FF6)
J.C. Denton (Deus Ex) vs. Joker
Lucas (Mother 3) vs. R.E.D. Scout (Team Fortress 2) *PK BONK!*
Gabe Newel vs. John Carmac
Paul Denton vs. Prisoner 849 (Unreal)
B.L.U. Spy (Team Fortress 2) vs. Detective Magnota
Ranger (Quake) vs. Sgt.William Bedford Dieago (System Shock 2) *He was at Sargent Rankings during the events of SS2 right? -Memory Fuzzy- *
Max Damage (Carmagedon) vs. Niko Bellic (GTA 4) -YELLOW CAAAARRR!-

I don’t know if anyone else had said this but….

Batman VS Sherlock Holmes!!…Really Sherlock Holmes was Batman before Batman was…Well…Batman and it was you who said that I think Spoony.

I agree with you guys on every point specifically I remember thinking that after watching the fight between a Spartan and a Ninja that it was incredibly redundant as either the Spartan would never see the ninja coming before the ninja killed him or the ninja would just completely bypass him. sigh! That show is stupid

new comment system vs. old comment system…old wins…no need for vlog

Dethklok vs. Guar

Sam & Max vs. Howard the Duck

Astroboy vs. Captain Marvel

Oscar the Grouch vs. Dale Gribble

The Gate Keeper vs. Gregg the Grim Reaper

the possibilities are endless. Btw, what a great video

Damn Spoony I was working on my own version of deadliest fantasy warrior, even had first 3 matches lined up:
Harry Potter vs. Aragorn
Buffy The Vampire Slayer vs. Drizzt Do’Urden
Warhammer 40k Space Marine vs. Darth Vader

Great vlog btw I also don’t know why I’ve watched every episode as it usually just gets me mad.

Even though this show is really stupid, I still kinda enjoy it for the reasons you stated… seeing the weapons deal damage and watching the final simulation. I recognize the various problems you point out, but they don’t seem to enrage me the same way you do. I guess I’m just the type who CAN turn off my brain for such things…

But anyway, I like the whole “Ultimate Fantasy Warrior” idea. Let’s see, uh…

The Balrog (Lord of the Rings) vs Optimus Prime (Transformers)
Agent Smith (The Matrix) vs Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII)
The Planeteers (Captain Planet) vs Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog

David Ryder vs. Rowsdower!

AVGN is a big Godzilla Fan. he could be an expert.

You David Wenham is spot on. :D

Oh! I got one for deadliest fantasy warrior: James Bond vs. Solid Snake. XD

Hmmm, abit wrong on the crossbow there Spoony. When you said crossbows could pierce plate mail, I hope you meant chain mail configuration and then I have no doubt that crossbows could kill a knight in mail. However a knight in fully plate armour could survive from getting shot from a crossbow. The majority of crossbows could not pierce plate armour therefore not making knights’s armour useless. Don’t underestimate the plate armour.
Anyways, nice vid!

Duuude! I would so fucking love to do illustrations for Deadliest Fantasy Warrior!!!

Ninjas did not wear black, they were disguised as everyday people in Feudal Japan and if they got caught, they would engage in hand-to-hand combat. Also they did their jobs by infiltration. Spartans were also masters of stealth as they had to sneak out of their bunks to kill a Helot guard in the middle of the night, as part of their training; if the recruit got caught, they were whipped until they bled!

Gladiators were 100% expendable at the Roman Empire’s peak as 20000+ men and animals died in the arena. Also they were mostly Prisoners of war, slaves and criminals. They became valuable when the empire fell into decline and could no longer afford the costs for the Colosseum.

Adam West Batman vs. Heath Ledger Joker!

Not so serious vs. Why so serious?
WHO
IS
DEADLIEST!?!

I so wanna see this! :D

Corto Maltese vs Indiana Jones
The A-Team vs The TMNT
Deadpool vs Yoshimitsu
Bud Spencer & Terrence Hill vs Bill & Ted
Gandalf vs Dumbledore
Gene Simmons vs Van Helsing
Guybrush Threepwood vs Captain Ahab
Gordon Freeman vs John McClane

I think the Deadliest Warrior would be great if it had Steven fry and James may doing a nerdoff for 30 minutes.

The system they use to weigh the two parties against each other is a videogame combat sim built on an unreleased game engine. Smells of bullshit to me. I watch’d all of season one, haven’t touch’d season two.

I didn’t know you were taking request for fantasy fights? Anyways, any TV channel that claim cater to a very specific audience like SPIKE and men, usually come off really obnoxious in their choice of advertising and shows produced for SPIKE. I guess I’m not a man since I don’t like SPIKE.

The annoying this is that this Deadliest Warrior could actually be done in a more scientific and legitimate fashion but by doing so would result down to ‘the more advanced’ win pretty much every single time because by the nature of warfare the better army survives and continues while the weaker is removed. Compare a soldier from 200 AD to 200 BCE and the soldier from 200 AD would fair better because of the innovations and improvements made over the 400 years in they’re armour and weapons. There is no contest, the guy with the bigger stick will win in a straight up fight every episode. The only time that could change is when the one with the bigger stick is an untrained conscript or something like that, but this isn’t really investigated. I suppose what really pisses me off about it is how you could compare two armies, A and B, and comment that A was larger but B had more advanced technology, A preferred this type of terrain while B favored another and A had a stronger command structure to B and from things like these one could make a guess how they would fare against each other and under what situations either could win in a fight, but they don’t and so I don’t learn anything and I just wasted my time. Stupid fucking show.

Also, Gladiators were trained to kill. At particular points the killing of gladiators was deemed illegal to stop the supply of them running short but that was more of an exception to the rule. They were also trained to die in a particular way if they knew the fight was lost for the show to be better. The spear/shield formation is called a phalanx and your right, there is no point talking about the strengths of a spartan warrior (or any sort of Hoplite) if you aren’t going to talk about the formation.

Hey, Spoony!

Nice video… as for your new series, I’d recommend: Ewoks vs. Gremlins.

if video game characters are allowed
link vs. cratos

http://warriorsofskaro1010.deviantart.com/art/On-the-wings-of-COBRA-163224412

Hey I can give you the toys needed!

Another fantasy one that you can do for the Fantasy Dealiest Warrior is, Jedi vs the Predator.

Try to get James Rolfe for the mechagodzilla he could be cool to have if you are going to make this look like the real show

While I agree that the show is entirely for entertainment value, and people shouldn’t be taking it seriously at all, I kinda have to scratch my head at some of spoony’s comments. First off, he was wailing on them for only testing the weapons and not the techniqes and skills of the warrior, fair enough, but then he comes back later and wails on them for testing the operator and not the weapon itself. Well, if you have a Green Barret, using his gun, run the same course as a Spetznaz guy, using his gun, then YOU ARE TESTING THE WARRIOR. I totally agree that they should run the course several times to get a sample set of data, and the warriors should not know each others’ times so that they are isolated from each other, but c’mon Spoony, pick one argument or the other.

As for your other comments, if you actually watch the webisodes (called the aftermath) you find out that the guys are slightly more competent than they appear on TV. Max occasionally goes into details about how the computer works, and they sometimes reveal that they did far more testing than what aired, and some stuff didn’t make the final cut. Also, which ever weapon gets the ‘edge’ has absolutely no analog in the computer, it’s just the team speculating.

Lastly, I don’t have a problem with the idea of the one-on-one battle thing, at least not as much as Spoony did, nor do I have a problem with the terrain. For example, Spartan vs. Ninja, we all know that, if the ninja had their way, they would kill the spartan in his sleep, game over. If the Spartan had their way, they army of spartans would crush an ‘army’ of ninjas in a stand up fight. The idea, instead, is to take two warriors out of both of their elements, plop them down in a neutral area, and have them go at it. That’s kinda the point, who would win in a straight-up-knock down fight. Sure, some guys might be more specialized than others, but sometimes, they surprise you.

I completely agree with most of your comments about the show, and I love watching it just to yell at the screen going “Are you fucking serious?!?”

One point though, David Wenham isn’t the narrator. The narrator does an awesome David Wenham impersonation, but his name is Drew Skye. He’s been in absolutely nothing else, but he does an awesome David Wenham-esque narration.

Which one Spoony? WHICH ONE?
Mecha Godzilla 1 or 2…. and for that matter, which Megazord?
The morphin’ one, the zeo’s, the turbo’s, the space’s, the lost galaxie’s , the lightspeed rescue’s, the Time force’s, the Wild Force’s, the Ninja Storm’s, The Dino Thunder’s, the Space Patrol Delta’s, the Mystic Force’s, The Operation Overdrive’s, The Jungle Fury’s or the RPM’s. And that not counting the Ultra Megazords, The assist Zords, The combined Megazord (i like the Original Megazord + Green ranger’s Dragonzord. it kicked ass), The transformations zords wich can count as a Megazords (like the red dragon zord that had a human mode) The Ultra Megazord wich combine with the assist Zord….

Yeah, i’ll see that! My money is, well it pretty obvious now isn’t it.

The Excel Warriors!

I watch the Deadliest Warrior and while I like the show I completely agree with your sentiments. It's an absolutely idiotic show and in general I get pissed at it, but still, I like the concept of the show at least, for the most part, and the tests on the balistics gel dummies always gets me. As idiotic as the show is, I'll still watch. Especially this one episode planned for later this season, Nazis vs. Viet Cong. Who are they going to get to be the Nazi experts? lol That'll be a ridiculous but interesting episode, and I still hold out hope they'll include military strategy in testing given the Nazis were completely opposite to the Viet Cong in style. Oh, and an after thought, for your Fantasy Deadliest Warrior, I'd like to see Predator vs. the Mecha Hitler from Castle Wolfenstein 3D.

Spoony, I hate to be THAT GUY, BUT:

The narrator is Drew Skye, not David Wenham. D: It’s okay, we all still love you. You can make all the mistakes in the world.

Chester A Bum vs Dr. Insano

wait which mechagodzilla theres three of them!!!!! wat i wanna see is bartun vs poio that would be awsome.

In relation to your idea of deadliest warrior here’s my idea.
I think it’s a fantastic idea and it could be hilarious but I’d suggest pitching people from perhaps the same genre against eachother to even out the fight. That way rather than it be Buggs vs. Dredd it’d be Buggs vs. Taz? And Dredd vs. Rambo! Or Instead of Ash vs. Kirk, perhaps Kirk Vs. Darth Vader. You can see the advantages as they both own Ships, both have the same form of technological weaponry, it could work out to be a much farer, and therefore more interesting match!
Just my two cents :]
Keep up the good work!
Much love from England.

Thoroughly enjoying discussion. My boyfriend and I have similar rants when we watch the show, but it’s all in good, nerdy fun. (Agreed, the movie at the end is the best part, and the ringleader of the show is a complete cock-in-the-mouth douche.) But consider if the doctor wasn’t there to confirm each and every death, the ringleader would be left to do it, and any decision he makes is steeped in idiocy.

Because you haven’t received enough comments with suggestions…
Vs. battles that we came up with:
Conan vs. Riddick
Darth Vader vs. Paul Atreides
Smurfs vs. Fraggles
Mr. Dressup vs. Mr. Rogers
Mr. Snuffleupagus vs. The Polkaroo (nobody ever sees either one coming, like ninjas)
Terminator vs. Dr. Who

and if Kirk vs. Ash (which is hella-sweet, btw) does’t work out, I think there’s an army of nerds who would enjoy seeing a little Captain Kirk vs. Captain Picard action.

Funny stuff, I love these vlog’s. And I can’t wait to see your new Deadliest show.

But, really Spoony, you gotta let Miles talk every once in a while. :p

please do my ultimate fantasy battle of the book of the dead(deadites) Vs. the thing, it would be epic! other battle ideas…

Spider-man vs. Mario

Septhiroth vs. Palpatine

No way would Attila The Hun use a Holy Avenger. If we’re talking about a pre-fourth edition one, those only work well for paladins, and no way would Attila work for him. And in 4E he’s a Warlord, not a Divine Class, making it sub-optimal for martial classes.

here are some suggestions (mind you these are somewhat random)

Transformers V.s. the Gundams (from any season i guess)
Iron Man V.s. The Predator
Ryu Hayabusa V.s. Drunken Master
The Ghostbusters V.s. the devil from the Exorcist
The Wild Bunch V.s. the Red v.s. Blue teams

and Jigsaw V.s. John Doe (from Seven) how is that for out of the box thinking. It can be more of an intellectual fight i guess or see which one has the best kills.

Samuel L Jackson vs. the giant snake from harry potter

Actually, Alexander did fight a lot of horse archers and nomadic mounted forces, specifically, the Scythians.

Detailed here if you want to see more: http://www.ne.jp/asahi/luke/ueda-sarson/Arrian4-4-6-7.html

I got one I know everyone wants to see

Cloud Strife vs Squall Leonhart

I know every Final Fantasy fan wants to see that

Love your review of deadliest warrior, you always make me laugh… and I agree with you that the best part of the show is the closing fight scene.

Fremen VS Aliens FTW!

just to jump on the bandwagon of requests heres some of mine

Jason Voorhees vs The Predator
Pumpkinhead vs Pyramidhead from Silent Hill
Hellboy vs Aliens vs Predator ( this ones an inside joke but it’d be badass anyway )

dude, James Rolfe should defend mecha godzilla he is huge zilla nerd

My two cents for the DEADLIEST CHARACTER:

John McClane vs. Dirty Harry

Harry Potter vs. Frodo Baggins
(Sword of Godric Gryffindor vs. the Sting, Harry’s wand vs. Frodo’s mithril chain mail…bla bla bla…)

Oh and btw the narrator isn’t David Wenham, it’s Drew Skye (who ever the fuck he is).

Indiana Jones VS Simon Belmont LOL

Indiana Jones VS Simon Belmont LOL

Roronoa Zoro (One Piece) vs Wolverine (X-Men)!!!

Megatron (Transformers) Vs Dalek (Doctor Who)

I have always seen your show all the time Noah but this idea is a good idea.

Well if you want to do match-ups with certain characters, you need to give them an equal chance to win for both the fighters. So you need to class them depending on their weapons, tactics (to not make the same error as theses morons) and technology (though weapons enter in this category). So if you want someone to fight another character, theses characters should have the same weaponry and we could alloy some exeptions. For example, if Indiana Jones was to fight one of the Belmonts (Simon or Richter, whoever you want), Jones could use his gun and Belmont his magic to make it equal. So lets try to make some match-ups.

If we want to go old style with swords, we could pick: Warrior of light (Dissidia, FF1) VS Link (Legend of Zelda). They both have a sword and a shield. Warrior does have an armor but he has a small short sword and a small shield; Link doesn't have an armor but his shield and his sword are bigger. Warrior uses some long range magic and Link has his bow.

Now if we want gun weilders but without any real form of armor we could pick: Sam ''Serious'' Stone (Serious Sam series) VS B.J. Blascowickz (Wolfenstein series). They both uses guns in an extensive way and shoot the general direction of the enemies instead of aiming. None wears armor (though in Return to Castle Wolfenstein you could pick-up jackets and helmets for protection).

Now lets try with silent tactics that could make the difference instead of the weapons. In this case we could have: Solid Snake (Metal Gear series) VS Gabe Logan (Syphoon Filter series). They have guns, are profetionnal spies (or infitrators or something), and mainly uses stealth. This time the tactic they use will make the difference (though tey are very similar).

I tried to make a match-up with characters with advanced armor but I can't decide. The thing is that you have several sub-categories for this. You got the suit and the full armor. The suit is like… a suit, for example, the HEV Mk V. But this only a protective suit. You also have the enhancer suit like the Crynet Nanosuit from Crysis. As for the full armor, it's a full body armor that protect more than just the suit. But again, you have the free hand armor like the Spartan armor from Halo or the Arm cannon armor like the chozo suit from Metroid. If you want to see Megaman, it sould be againts Samus Aran So you really have to make the matches according to several factors and not just the weapons and their dealiness. Or else you could end up with, lets say, Sephiroth VS Mario. We know who wolud win already.

Crono vs. Cloud

the vok vs the reach, Dracula vs tom and Jerry, short round vs mini me.

I would love it if you would pick apart their scientific method. The one on one fights could work if they estimated based on tactics and make assumptions on how one could win. Though nothing can predict the personalities of individual warriors unless their personalities have been described in combat.

The weapon thing sounds like an rpg game. Jesse James! use Winchester! It was super effective!

26:50- Even if you shoot someones hand, if it was a gun hand, you disabled them potential from combat which is pretty good.

I'd second that if you put in Magus vs. Vincent in along with it.

On a separate note, Terry Bogard vs. Captain Falcon.

Terry: Hey! C'mon, c'mon!
Falcon: Show me your moves!
Terry: Get selious!

Oh, the fun that could be had.

I don't know I think some of you haters out there don't even pay attention to the show. First off the show gets really high ratings for cable so you're wrong there Noah when you say I don't think people watch this. The data they put in is from the tests of things they measure like the speed and force of impact of a weapon and how many strikes in a certain amount of time. Is it that crazy that they can put that into a program? Doesn't sound so farfetched to me. If they were testing only the weapons effectiveness they should have the same guy test the weapons (to account for the difference in skills between two different people) but since they are testing the class of person having a representative from that side do it makes sense. For example in the Jesse James vs. Al Capone one it made sense to have your average person test for Capone and a gunslinging expert test for James mirroring the actual abilities. You're right that the doctor is useless sometimes when the wound is obviously a killing blow but at other times where it's uncertain he's a bit helpful. The whole part of the show where they give the edge to a certain weapon is all just typical guy talk of what impressed them the most and doesn't matter in the final calculation just part of the show. Your complaint that they are testing the deadliest warrior when it's people who don't fight one on one is true but testing armies would be pointless because then you'd have to account for who attacks first, what sort of lines they employed, what tactics they typically used, and it'd be a mess. Even the ninja expert said he wasn't surprised they lost to the spartan but the ninja would just have waited til they were asleep and killed them. The question isn't who is the smartest and most strategic, it is who is the deadliest faced one on one. Does it mean anything when one side wins? Not really, no. Doesn't mean that if it was an army of each that it would turn out the same. It just means the weapons are deadlier. Stupid example to knock their estimation that an Apache couldn't take on people with guns by bringing up Custer's Last Stand. Custer was greatly outnumbered. They didn't say the unarmored people with bows and knives couldn't get kills but do you believe the Apache would have any chance against a Spetsnaz soldier? With equal numbers I'd even probably take the Pirate shotgun and grenado over any of the “ancient” warrior classes, not to mention if it were the Mafia or IRA. Doesn't seem like a bad division to me at all.

Oh snap, I think this might have actually aired a year ago on one of the few channels I get. But now that I think about it, I haven't heard about it since…

I hate it when gladiators use nets to kill people. It takes forever.

you guys do know that this one hour show is edited to you know…….fit in under an hour? watch the aftermath, its a follow up show where they answer comments from the websites and explains things in more detail. things like how they do take personal ethos, common mentality and training of the individual warriors. also this is the deadliest warriors not the deadliest army, or deadliest military force. its suppose to be who could win in a one on one fight with two warriors both assumed to be equal in skill and experience and both assumed to be on the top of their game.

i don't blame you all for your misconceptions about the show since it doesn't answer everything. gotta watch the online followup episodes and even then they got a time limit. for example they did mention that if the ninja were allowed to fight like a ninja they would have a near 100% kill rate.

edit: still despite your ignorant rant about the show i am looking forward to this video series of yours spoofing the show : )

I love this review, it was a lot of fun to watch, and I love the dynamic between you and Miles. But stop sitting so close! take one side, he'll take the other, and maybe the middle couch can get some shoulder. Ive seen some great two-person interview shooting for vlogs done with just a few tables, chairs and a green screen for a good looking studio you can throw together last minute. All you need is chroma key green and some imagination. P.S., Ive thought about it for a long long time, but I think Im finally ready to tackle the Wing Commander Series. Thanks for the years of nerd-tainment!

I really like listening to you go on about this crappy show. But I get amazed, and I fell the same way when Spoony talks about wrestling, by how you are surprised by how much it sucks, It's like, “You're interested in history and war and stuff, right?” “Sure, I read the occasional book about medieval wars, vikings, ninjas and stuff.” “Well, then you're going to love this show, it's about a bunch of guys who argue about how a fight between a ninja and a cowboy would end.”, who doesn't answer “That sounds like a bunch of bullshit!”? I realize that you watch the episodes of this show knowing it's going to suck and be void a any scientific credibility and I guess that's the point. But it's still fun seeing you analyze what's obviously a pile of shit in such detail. I don't mean this as critique, I love what you do, it's just an observation.

Today on The Deadliest Warrior… The illiterate street gansta versus the virtually invincible Borg! Who is the deadliest warrior!?

Pikachu vs A Klingon

Megaman vs Sonic

Mario vs A Clogged Pipe

Lupin 3rd vs James Bond

I haven't read the comics with Whiplash in it, but I have seen the movie. I'd choose the one from the movie. Ivan Vanko.

Commander Jane Shepard VS Blood Raven Force Commander

The big dude's whole purpose was to be the physical sort of dude. The guy that, more or less, assesses as the physically-trained third-degree blackbelt of the three. Geoff Desmolin, though, is still basically a useless jock…

spoony 4 fuck sake the swat vs gsg9 was gr8 the reason the taser won was because the stingball grenade was a one use weapon the effect of the stinger is only for a min at the most but the taser aslong as it hits you u cant get up all they need to do is press a button and you'll go down again.

the other thing is one ninja vs four spartans in both way of fighting the ninja is fucked!
that bowie knife and stelleto thing is bullshit

i agree i was just pissed now shush be4 this gets to grandmother bitch slapery

My suggestions?

James Bond vs. Sam Fisher

Raz vs. Ness

Han Solo vs. Captain Kirk (Millenium Falcon vs. Enterprise, anyone?)

Gordon Freeman vs. The Bear Jew

Jareth, The Goblin King VS. Martin Riggs
RoboCop VS. Dudley Do-Right
Aslan VS. Tony the Tiger

WHO IS DEADLIEST??

Army of Darkness vs. Horde of Mordor
WHO IS DEADLIEST!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I had the most problem with the spartan vs the ninja. that should never had been a fight. ninjas aren't warriors, they are assassins. there is no point in time where a ninja would be in a stand up head to head fight with a soldier. I know they dont count tactics but really now, who says lets take the shadow like assassin and have him try to fight a soldier. they might as well have just put a sniper recon guy in a clear field 20 ft away from a guy with a machine gun

Hey, James Rolfe knows alot about Godzilla. There ya go…you have your first show

predator vs wolverine venom vs cyclops predator vs jason wolverine vs aliens the dragonzord vs tia fighters darthvader vs ash spiderman vs predator godzilla vs shield vegeta vs venom wolverine vs graboids luke skywalker vs jason deadpool vs jason arnold swarternager (how ever you spell it) and bruce willis vs ash and rocky

predator
long range: plasma caster
special: that disk thing
melee: wrist blades
mid range: combi stick
x-factor: invisability

wolverine
melee: adamantium claws
x-factor: regeneration….yeah thats about it

Didn't the old old website World Wide Grudge Match already do Predator/Wolverine?

Thank you Spoony! I have been waiting for some to do justice to Deadliest Warrior. Nothing about the show makes any sense. I watched the Green Beret versus Spetsnaz episode and I am still confused about it. Of course Spetsnaz would win in a close quarters setting, thats what they are designed to do. Green Berets are designed to fight in open territory not close quarters. Also, Green Berets are trained to integrate with the local populace not just fight. A fair fight would have been Delta Force versus Spetsnaz. Excellent review Spoony, thanks!

I never really liked this show either, the annoying thing for me was the two teams picker like little kids. Oh yeah well my dad, could beat up your dad. Jesus, just whip out your dicks and measure them already.

I recommend Fight Science. it's the same sort of thing, but it's not competitive, and uses real science.

I would watch “The deadliest fantasy warrior”. Hell, I would PAY to see that! (And I'm so fucking broke that my student loans are going to cripple me until eight years after I've left university (I wish I was joking but I'm not *sob* T_T)).

The following would HAVE to be fought:
Cthulhu (Lovecraft) vs. Death (from the Discworld novels)
Merlin (the wizard from mythology) vs. The Doctor (from Dr. Who (well, duh))
Cloud vs. Squall (Squall needs to get his ass handed to him by Cloud)
Lucy (from Elfen Lied) vs. Kei Kurono (from Gantz)
The Devil vs. SantaChrist
The Empire (from star wars) vs. The Culture (Ian M. Banks)
Mechakara vs. Dr. Insano

Let the epic battles begin! (Also let confusion over obscure references begin).

The Battletoads vs the Cheetahmen – he Ram Headbutt versus the Flying Glitch Punch.

WHO IS DEADLIEST?!

Goku vs. Superman (2 superpowered men whose powers even effect planets and both with hearts of gold)
Catwoman or Poison Ivy vs Ms. Deep/Nancy from ROD (Femme Fatales)
Harley Quin vs. Bella Swan (Codependent girls hooking up with crazy ass, abusive men? GO HARLEY!!!)
Kuwabara from Yu Yu Hakusho vs. Joey Wheeler from Yu-gi-oh! (2 underdogs that got better in the end)

I think you can actually do Cloud vs. Squall in that fighting game Square-Enix released recently.

Nope. Goku and Superman would be total bros. But if they HAD to fight Superman flys to the sun while Goku is charging up. Goes all Alpha Golden Superjesus Superman. game won.

Or if supe does start losing the Justice League sweeps in and then the Flash uses the SPEEDFORCE!!!11!one! and GOES FASTS everything to death

Judge Dredd Vs Judge Judy = Epic

Pyramid Head vs Nemesis
Darth Vader vs Khan.
The Joker vs Kuja.
Clint Eastwood vs Chuck Norris.

Watch the Aftermath for once.

They can't fit all the stuff you gripe about (tactics, other weapons, multiple “final simulations”) into the hour-long show. They test tons of weapons and they DO, in fact, take into account styles of fighting. Maybe not the Spartan Shield Wall, but the point is it's the Deadliest WARRIOR, not Deadliest Army.

Almost all the stuff you're pissed about is actually accounted for, and they don't have time to explain the amount of tests they do or how the whole software works. Do you think they would have time in the episodes to explain a program like that? Plus it's not that interesting hearing “So here's where I enter the accuracy, and this is the range field…” It's a TV show, and they need people to watch it.

And the Spetznaz did BETTER than the Green Beret with the handgun “maze” test. And that's one thing that you're getting pissed off about: It should be warriors, not just weapons– well that's warrior vs. warrior there. Get your facts straight before flaming a really good show.

I don't like some of the outcomes (Pirate v Knight), but do a TINY bit of research before you bash these people for doing something that you don't understand. Like I said, if you watched the Aftermath you might realize and understand the show better.

Armand Dorian is the ER doctor, who does explain how something is going to kill you. Yes, they're still dead, but how long will it take? Can they still fire a shot off at you? Will you be alive but useless? Jeff Daymoulin (probably misspelled) is kind of pointless, but he is a nice comic relief, since he usually guesses the wrong warrior will win. Max Geiger is the one who enters the data and tweaks some specs in the program to account for a lot of the shit you say isn't taken into account. Also, with regards to the “Edge factor”– there is none. There isn't a data field they enter saying “This weapon should be better,” it's just a prediction.

Research your stuff first. A pretty disappointing review, not because I disagree with you, but because you clearly don't know what you're talking about with regards to how the show works.

The Joker would win against Kuja any day. :P

Would like to see the fight between Harley and Bella Swan, since Harley can actually do SOMETHING, Bella just depend on her “man” to do all things difficult and challenging.

clint eastwood ftw :L

u cant do a scottish accent coz thts irish

Ninja were spies, actually, and they never wore those dorky outfits. That was the idea of actors on stage. They wore disguises.

Fair warning if you do.. Squall is a cheating bastard in that game. And the entire game is broken as fuck. Actually its a lot like the Deadliest Warrior game considering half the time (especially in the end) you’ll be eating bullshit one shot kills.

Yeah I watched the knight vs pirate episode and they kept going on about how knights were mainly killers but in any fight which had knights on both sides 90% of the time they would try to take the other knights captive then they would have a drink and talk about randsoms

I see where you’re coming from with the flaws of the show. It doesn’t really stay consistent or logical in it’s choices, but that fight scene and the narrator are indeed totally worth seeing it. And to the Deadliest Fictional Warrior idea, HOLY FUCK, man, I have had that fucking idea stewing in me, and my friends, for a long ass time. You should totally go for it. I’v got a million thought out recommendations for you to do(if these are spelt wrong or are matched wrong, I apologize):

1. Geoff Desmoulin sets up the tests and collects the data. They don’t show all the tests they run, just the ones that look really cool.
2. Max Geiger won’t be on the show anymore. As for the program, they do show it in action on occasion, if you pay attention. When you see two transparent guys on the computer screen with body parts flashing, that’s the program.
3. The doctor’s name is Armand Dorian. How could you not remember a name as cool as that? Also, he often does have to specify when an injury that looks like it wouldn’t kill would or when one that looks like it would wouldn’t. Yeah, usually he’s stating the obvious, but sometimes he is necessary.
4. I’m not sure that’s David Wenham. He’s credited as Drew Skye. It could be him operating under an alias, but I’m not going to leap to that assumption. Whoever he is, he is the best thing about this show.
5. Again, they don’t show all the tests. Who would assume they do? Again, they only show the coolest tests.
6. You shouldn’t really bring up the early episodes because those were horrible mismatches. Starting around a certain point, the matches start making more sense, with two groups that really do tend to have similar tactics. You can’t really complain about an aspect of a show that’s already been changed.
7. Again, they’ve been trying to take tactics into account more often recently. Why are you harping on the flaws of the first season?
8. They do try to have a bit of a story to the reenactments recently. Like you mention, the whole Al Capone Jesse James thing.
9. The point with the way they test the weapons is that they are making the assumption that the warriors they are testing would be as good at using their weapons as their experts. Are you implying the James Gang were not highly trained marksmen?
10. THEY AREN’T SHOWING ALL THE TESTS! WHY DO YOU ASSUME THEY ARE?
11. They testing those handguns with actual former Green Berets and Spetsnaz! They can safely assume this is how they would handle those weapons in an actual combat scenario. Plus, what weapon they give the edge to means precisely dick because the actual results of the simulation are based on the countless tests they run that we don’t see.
12. The show is called Deadliest Warrior. DEADLIEST Warrior. Not Warrior Who Can Incapacitate You More Efficiently.
13. This is not the first time they picked versatility over brute force. Look at Shaolin vs Maori.
14. It was Attila the Hun, not Genghis Khan. And it wasn’t a crossbow, it was a gastraphetes, which is a lot more inefficient than a crossbow. If you’re gonna be criitical, at least be accurate.
15. See number 3.

Sorry to break down your argument like that, but I love this show, and you really seem to miss the mark on a lot of this stuff. You’re really railing on things they’ve improved on. What weapon they give the Edge doesn’t matter, and clearly they do more tests than they show, otherwise they’d never be able to simulate these weapons in a computer. Plus, weapons perform better or worse in the sim than they were expecting all the time. Clearly there’s more to it than we’re seeing.

Deadliest Warriors: Plants Vs Zombies!

Plants feed off rotting things.

Zombies rot.

Plants win!

Deadliest Warriors: Plants Vs Zombies!

Plants feed off rotting things.

Zombies rot.

Plants win!

 You should make Deadliest Fantasy Warrior for real! The Assassin’s Guild vs. The Noghri!

I saw the first episode of the new season, and it seems like they’re taking things a lot more seriously this time. The computer geek is gone completely, as is the Slithering studios program. They now use a simulator developed by a former Green Beret. Geof (the meathead) has a lot less to say this season. The weapons testing is consistent and more scientific. They also talk about tactics and logistics, going over various battles the two warriors took part in. The show is much better now, methinks.
