Enter the 'John Carter' Movie Giveaway Contest

This is your chance to win a cool price pack from the recent movie.

Did you get a chance to watch John Carter in theaters? We were pleasantly surprised when we saw the movie. If you didn't get a chance to watch it, here is your chance to not only win the movie but some other prizes as well.

Disney is offering a prize pack for TWO winners.

No Caption Provided

The prize pack includes:

  • (1) John Carter Blu-ray Hi-Def + DVD Combo Pack
  • (1) CD Soundtrack
  • (1) The Art of John Carter: A Visual Journey (SRP $50.00)
    Written by Josh Kushins, Introduction by Andrew Stanton, Afterword by Ryan Church

And, if I remember, I'll even throw in some Comic Vine stickers and buttons (if I have any left).

== TEASER ==

To enter: you just need to tell us what would you do if you were transported to Mars. Would you use your powers to fight in the war? Would you use them for personal gain? Would you do whatever you could to get back to Earth? The choice is yours.

  • Two winners will be chosen at random.
  • One entry per person.
  • And our lawyers insist the contest is open only to those in the United States. (Yes it's a bummer but our hands are tied by all the legal red tape).
  • The contest will begin immediately and end Tuesday, June 5, 2012 at midnight PT.

The contest unfortunately is only open to residents of the United States.

The first thing I would do if I was transported to Mars is try to find a way to stay cool. :) If I found a water-way like the movie I would probably find someway to live underwater. I would use my powers to gain the trust and confidence of both Martian races. To bring them together in peace. Working together with Earth bringing a new galatic harmony to Mars, Earth, and beyond. I would probably stay on Mars. How could I leave Woola behind.

If I found myself on Mars suddenly, I would fight whomever and whatever to get back home. I have kids and I wouldn't let any number of gigantic white apes stop me from getting back to them.

Now if I were a single man with no responsibilities tying me to Earth, I'm sure my answer would be more like this:

Finding myself on Mars with new Superman-like physical abilities, I would begin by making allies with the weak by serving as their protector. I would fight for the honor of Dejah Thoris' hand and win her heart. I would bring peace to Mars and seal my reign down with an iron fist. With the Warlords defeated/destroyed at my hands, I could bring Mars into a utopian state, bringing together rival tribes and bitter enemies to share 2 common purposes: peace and servitude.

Under my rule, I would bring the best qualities of Earth to Mars and leave behind the things that bring us down. This would of course mean not opening the gateway to other humans. Such power tends to corrupt and the last thing I would want is a rival of the same level of abilities as myself. I would accept Mars as my home and would rarely, if ever come back to Earth.

But as I said... I have kids and so far that's been much more of an adventure anway...

I would use my powers to rip off Thern technology. I would then use it on earth (it does not matter what time period). I'm pretty sure that blue stuff could cure cancer or make videogames cooler. I would try to stay away from the war but would eventually fight for the good guys just like in the movie.

I would definitely explore the the planet. I'm very curious to see what I might uncover on the "Red Planet." It would be diffucult stand idle and do nothing if there is a war and I can do something about it. I never thought of being the type of person who would use powers for personal gain. I would use my powers to help others. If i had a life on Earth worth returning to, I would go back home. If not, Mars would be my new home.

I would use my powers to fight the good fight. then find a way home only to bring my family back to mars and establish our home there. this would allow me to write books of our adventures have them published on earth and be the next big thing in books and movies since harry potter.

I would fight in the war, and every battle would start by me saying "By the power of Greyskull, I Have the Power!" yeah, that sounds about right.

@G-Man: My first thoughts after landing on Mars would be "holy cow that was a long ride!" Once I'm there, I'd help in the war (I'm not a cold blooded person) and then I'd use my powers for personal gains by finding a way to bring the powers back with me and become a superhero on Earth. Plus, I would miss my family and friends.

If I was transported to Mars, I would definitely give my all to help the helpless in the war, while also enjoying the close(r)-proximity to the sun and working on my tan. After the war ended, I would be a simple farmer and enjoy my life in a new culture, while living out my days watching the Earth from the night sky of another world.

World domination has always been an ambition of mine and taking over Mars would be a great first step.

So here's the plan: 1) Take over Mars. 2) Combine technology from Mars with tech from Earth. 3) Return to earth with an army of angry martians. 4) Sit on a beach somewhere, since I'll own all of them, sip some sort of fruity cocktail with a little umbrella through a curly straw, and watch the sun set over my ocean.

I would use my powers to make sure that I was getting all of the comic publications from earth because I would miss comics and accompanying that weekly shipment of comics would be gallons Arnold Palmer Half Iced Tea & Half Lemonade.so that I could sip my favorite frosty beverage while reading Earth's greatest entertainment! I would also figure out a way to get internet from earth that way I could email my mom & still post chit to Comic Vine, Deviant Art  and the Rob Liefeld Boards, because I would miss the internet. 
 
Thus having introduced the Martian culture to Earth's greatest form of entertainment I would make Ba-Jillion's in Martian currency after opening the only Comic Book & Hobby Collectables Shop on the planet and what ever bone rending and flesh tearing war would end abruptly giving way to, the newly frustrating, internet based flame wars and our solar system would know unending peace and creative prosperity.  

And finally, I would ask DeJa Thoris to do the Hokey Pokey and spin herself around because that's what it's all about!
I'd bet she's do it too :D

I would start my own line of trampolines and use infomercials to promote them. I would end up tricking all the martians into buying my prototypes up. They would see how much of a boss at jumping I am and would be driven to purchase my "earth bouncers". Sigh....The exploitation and exportation of capitalism.... Either that or fight for justice. One side or the other lol.

I would build a society on Mars. This is assuming there isn't already one, of course. What better way to earn the title of "ruler of Mars" than to actually start something good on that floating rock? I mean, I guess by being the first person there (again, assuming) it would be easy to just declare Mars mine, but maybe I should let others be better off by setting up a "second world" for the human race.

After I have become ruler of Mars by Marrying Dejah Thoris and squashing the other War Lords of Mars, I would begin work to establish a colony of Earthlings on Mars in hopes to begin work on an emergency evacuation plan if Earth were to ever be threaten. Nothing like having an Ace in the Hole. Actually really just Marrying Dejah Thoris would be enough for me everything else would just be icing.

I would use my powers and try to become an ambassador of a sort for human kind and work with the red men to try to establish contact with mankind! and then our two races could work together and eventually become space faring races. or perhaps our two races would eventually interbreed into one race? Who knows!

I would get involved in the war and do everything I could to see the villains make restitution for what they did. Would I go back to Earth? I am not sure I guess that would depend on my experiences on Mars and if the return to Earth would be permanent. If I could go back and forth at will then I would like to come back and see if things such as extra food and technology could be acquired to take back to mars to help make things better. Maybe broker a regular trade agreement with some of Earth's farmers.

Step 1: I would bring a old Sony tape walkman with a single of house of pain's jump around in it, and I would, you guessed it, JUMP AROUND!!!!

Step 2: I would watch the princess from a far to get to know her interests, likes, dislikes and then ask her out on a "moon date" bringing up similar interests, likes dislikes, then obviously she would fall in love with me.Then after we are both madly in love, either my best friend or her old love interest would expose my devious method of courting, and she would leave me.

Step 3: Mario style, I would attempt to princess back!!

Step 4: Once the Princess is back by my side and I was now a more humble man, I would be shot back to earth against my will and I would put a bunch of strings up on a big cork board on a wall linking to different areas of the world. Everyone would think it was to somehow help me get back to the princess in mars, but really it was just because earth made me crazy!!

For me it depends on the condition mars is in is here a totalitarian rule? Is there a democracy? Either way I'd stay hidden for a while observing he habitants and learn to adapt to their culture, make friends with the natives, and if there is something I don't see right I'll rebel against it. I would fight for freedom when it is needed, I would slay rulers that abuse their power, I would liberate the enslaved. Or I'd just start a new life, gets easier each time.

And if someone else has already referenced that movie...Then I'd go into a rage and use my powers to murder everyone. Including evil Michael Ironside. Especially him. Or at least disarm him. Okay. I'll stop now. I promise.
