Infinity Inc.

[TheCorpulent1]

Only because he got that little cut on his tattoo.

 

[Harlekin]

Still, that ***** got pwnt.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, he really did. He should've stuck to managing the JSA's trophy room.

 

[Harlekin]

Yep. Get to see Ma Hunkel bend over.

 

[The Question]

I never understood why people with mystical tattoos that serve as the source of their power go shirtless. I mean, I know they want to show off their sweet tatts, but, practically speaking, tattoos are more likely to stay intact when you're at least wearing a shirt.

 

[Harlekin]

Sure didn't help Lindsey on Angel.

Still, some armor would've been smart for Alex (that was his name, right?).

 

[The Question]

Sure didn't help Lindsey on Angel.

Yeah, but the Wesley has anti-tatt magic or something.

Still, some armor would've been smart for Alex (that was his name, right?).

Yes.

 

[Harlekin]

Yeah, that's right. THE Wesley.

 

[The Question]

Yeah, that's right. THE Wesley.

There should have been a Buffy/Angel cross over. Giles and Wesley could have had a badass englishman-off. And Xander and Gunn could have played Trivial Persuit.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

As badass as Wesley became, I still think Giles should win. But Wesley forcing Giles to tap into his badass Ripper side to do so would've been awesome.

 

[The Question]

I'd imagine that Ripper wouldn't even bother with magic to beat Wesley. He'd just beat his kneecaps in with a cricket bat.

 

[Harlekin]

Basically. Ripper vs Wesley? Ripper, no question. "Plain" Giles vs Wesley? Wesley, sorry. Too badass.

 

[BrianWilly]

Oh, 5th season Wesley would completely rape Giles. We're talking sodomy here, people. Largely because Giles would underestimate the hell out of him and then be shot in the head. And then rape.

Or I dunno, maybe not.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The way I see it, Wesley would easily beat Giles on all fronts--outfighting, outsmarting, out...being resourceful-ing. You get what I mean. But then Giles, after realizing he's completely misjudged Wesley as the foppish twit he used to be rather than the badass he now is, would start slipping into Ripper mode and kick some ass. I think, at that point, it'd be about even. Then Ripper would start to bust out the black magic and just barely win.

Then they'd dust themselves off and go for a pint.

 

[Harlekin]

Although I see Giles giving an extra punch to the stomach just before going for that pint. Like when he punched the **** out of Ethan Rayne at the end of the 2nd season Halloween episode. That was one awesome moment of Giles-badassery.

Of course, if Wesley gets his collapsible sword and grappling hook, Giles is done for. Ripper or not.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, Giles would actually respect Wesley after their bout, unlike Ethan.

The collapsible sword/grappling hook always wins.

Despite Infinity Inc. not looking very good, I'd rather talk about it than Whedon crap.

Infinity Inc. isn't looking very good.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Huh, I wasn't even aware this was the Infinity Inc. thread.

 

[The Leaguer]

It is. Let's talk about it.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The series looks like it'll suck.

 

[The Leaguer]

Quite so, despite an intriguing artist.

Hey DC, how about, instead of wasting our time with this bulls*** series, we get an Ion on-going? How about it, jackasses?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Or at least a Steel-centric ongoing. Natasha No-One-Gives-a-****-About-Me Irons is clearly the star of this book.

 

[The Leaguer]

Lam0r.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Steel's good.

 

[The Leaguer]

I said it in agreement with what you said.
