Amph The Movie and TV Character MINI Draft

In this draft, especially, never let facts get in the way of a good argument. Also in American Politics.

 

You did it wrong.

FAKE NEWS!!! CIA let burned spy Galavant (without singing)! SAD!!!

 

I like to mash worlds together and pretend that Larry the Dead Spy was also Vice President to Jed Bartlet.

 

Apologies, this will be much more brief than I desired or intended. I have to live within my restraints, though.

Agent Jessup: This is a raccoon. A raccoon. Does being prepped mean he knocked over her garbage can? Are we really trying to discuss this?

Carl Winslow: This is an interesting case. The most important point here is that, in real life, people don't often get into karate fights. The most likely way for this to unfold is with firearms. Given the training that both of them have, it would likely settle into something of a prolonged shoot out. That being the case, time favors Carl. We know he is a family man, has impeccable morals, and is a pillar of his community. His opponent has almost no real record at all, and if his true career were discovered, it would be noted he was a covert operative that was once thought to have made grave errors. Where he, without any official office, to assault an officer of the law, the blowback would be pretty swift and sudden. In all likelihood, Burn Notice Guy would be persumed evil/wrong--and in all likelihood, he would be, because what has Carl Winslow ever done to deserve assassination?--and have a sniper dispatched to kill him in short order. Carl would win by default.

Blade: The key scene here is during the apotheosis of La Magra. As we note from the head vampiric families, their powers are not truly biological but spiritual. This is supported elsewhere in the film in that the vampire characters are faster and stronger than their physiques (basically humanoid) could realistically accommodate. This means that Blade's speed, strength, and other powers are not in fact biological, but magical.

What is Superman's greatest weakness? Magic. So all we need is an opportunity for Blade ot unload on Superman and his 100% magical punches and kicks would be enough to incapacitate his opponent. But would he have such a chance? Absolutely. In all media, Superman has never been about overwhelming his opponents right out the gate. Quite the opposite. He will often demonstratively take abuse from those he fights and then only use a fraction of his power to respond. Blade, on the other hand, goes full bore from the outset. So Blade would be more than able to score a knock out in the opening seconds of the round.

 

Magic countered by EDTA. Sure thing!

 

How does that contradict my point?

In most narratives, magic is countered by nominal, earthly objects. Door ways, water, and all manner of pedestrian objects can defeat magical beings. That hardly implies that they weren't supposed to be magical.

 

what in the actual hell?

 

Except there's nothing suggesting magic, of course. in the way you're describing it. Also, there's absolutely, positively nothing indicating Superman has a weakness to magic. Just like Hancock doesn't, of course.

If you want to argue Bruce Leroy (The Last Dragon) has magical punches -- I'd sooner believe it (though they're really chi punches... which would also have an effect on Comic-Book Draft Superman, but less so on Movie Draft Superman).

 

What is not magical about people producting magical flying winged skeletal spirits when they die inside a temple?

But very well. Consider this. Blade could massively ennoculate Superman with his own blood. Even if he can't pierce Superman's skin, he can achieve absoroption through mucus membranes like eyes and under the tongue. Next, he can administer massive doses of EDTA by the same route. The resultant reactions would cause massive internal damage to Superman at the cellular level, which bypasses the effect level of his powers, which occur as a gestalt phenomenon.* In the face of this massive internal damage, and without medical care to help him, Superman would likely be incapacitated before Blade died of blood loss. Victory to Blade.

*Eg, his muscles are super strong. Fine. But every individual muscle cell is still a muscle cell, we have no indication that it's cellular biology would be different than what we observe on Earth, so it should be subject to the same biochemical reactions and kinetics. While Superman's metabolism would help eliminate some EDTA, direct sublingual, intra-nasal, and ocular absorption would bypass the liver, so that it would already start having effects before his immune system started to neutralize it.

 

He just needs to slit his wrist while its right in front of Superman's face.

 

Nothing permeates the eye, son... your vampire's dead, accept it...

 

Way to not know what you're talking about. It's not necessary for the blood to pierce his globe. It's that mucus membranes can take up things/absorb them. That's why eye drops work as medication.

 

Can you prove he has mucus? Nothing gets kicked up from a bullet, doesn't even close his eyes. Does he have ducts that work the same way?

 

He cries for Lois in the first movie.

 

I don't see tears...



... but even if he did, how do you know how the alien membranes work or if it's saline-like like human-tears... he's only "seen his own blood" after he's made human! He may not excrete anything due to solar radiation as an alien!

 

There is moisture on the surface of his eye. He blinks. The tissue type is the same, because it would be highly noticeable were it not, and he never could have passed as Clark Kent. Especially considering that man recievess ophthalmologic care.

 

how did we get to a point where we are arguing if Superman produces mucus while being portrayed by Christopher Reeves?

Sometimes, I regret opening this thread.
