Fanboy

The Fanboy's powers include:

  • Complete knowledge of favorite character to the point that he knows more about the character then the creator of the character
  • Superhuman in stubbornness
  • Extreme Rage
  • Extreme Happiness
  • Excessive use of "LOL" or "Seriously?", after quoting in a debate

VS

Wikipedia Expert

The Wikipedia Expert's powers include:

  • Zero knowledge of a character prior to opening the battle thread
  • Assumed 100% knowledge of a character after browsing through a wikipedia page
  • Superhuman in stubbornness
  • Refusal to admit that they have never actually read the character's comics, even when completely caught in a lie.
  • Ability to copy and paste text from Wikipedia, and pass it off as his or her own words.
  • Excessive use of "LOL" or "Seriously?", after quoting in a debate

Set up:

  • The debate in question is Hulk vs Thor
  • Fanboy says Batman stomps, because he's stomped Superman at least 4 times already, even though Batman is not even in this match up.
  • Wikipedia Expert says Thor stomps because he quoted that Thor's name means:
  • Name[edit]

    Old Norse Þórr, Old English ðunor, Old High GermanDonar, Old Saxonthunar, and Old Frisianthuner are cognates within the Germanic language branch, descending from theProto-Germanic masculine noun *þunraz 'thunder'.[2]

  • Wikipedia Expert doesn't realize that he was also copying and pasting out of the Viking Mythology wiki, and not the Marvel comics Thor page, but he does know that he is an expert on Thor.
  • The battle carries on from here.

Who wins this heated debate, and how does it play out?

This is obviously just for fun. Everyone here uses wikipedia, at least sometimes, to learn more about characters, and is at least slightly a fan boy of a character or two. This thread is to make fun of ourselves as fans of fictional battles, not of anyone in particular. Please don't call out anyone for being one of these two characters, unless it's in fun. :P

Can "Vin Diesel murders them both to save the world" be a valid answer?

Fanboy.

Also, I think you meant:

Refusal to denyadmit that they have never actually read the character's comics, even when completely caught in a lie.

Probably the Fanboy though the Wikipedia expert would be able to sound like they know something for some time.

According to ever person I've ever had to write some kind of paper for, Wikipedia is an unreliable source.

Therefore, Fanboy stomps.

Wikipedia is a good place to find other sources though.

The fanboy will provide scans, pretty much everyone accepts scans > anything else, and because the wiki guy won't have read the comic, he won't know how out of context they are, or if they're even canon.

Fanboy wins.

Depends. Everybody loves a bat fanboy. But as for the debate in question the wiki reader is right.

Everyone uses wikipedia at times. There's nothing wrong with it, and it's a great start to learning about a character. Everyone has at least slight bias to some characters too, which could be considered being a fanboy. I have yet to see an exception from anyone here. This thread is just dumb for the sake of being dumb, and shouldn't be taken seriously. Nothing wrong with what your doing man, and if it works for you, no reason to change it. :)

@laflux: true.

As for the battle, fanboys stomp. And damn it I saw my reflection in your description of fanboys o.O

Emma Frost ftw guys (and you will never stop a Batman or Storm fan from defending their favourite characters and you will never ever win a flame war against a fanboy)

@tparks: Yeah, Wikipedia is great for timelines and events, as is the Marvel Wikia (so not the official Marvel website as that is years out of date). For more specific things, its best not rely on them.
