Not difficult at all. Harry could simply just apparate around the machine or use his invisibility cloak, use some exploding spells, and destroy it.

Harry Potter could take down the Alien or Xenomorph or whatever it is called too.

The real question is Luke Skywalker vs Harry Potter.

*knock knock*

"Harry Pottuh?"

"Yes."

BLAM.

Done.

Harry was too scared to help his mentor and just watched him die. He always needed help from his friends to accomplish anything. I dont think harry potter would put up much of a fight with anyone outside of his world of warlocks, witches or wizards or whatever they call themselves. His powers pale in comparison to other magic users like scarlet witch, dr strange and or zatanna.

Dumbledore told him to stay hidden. He wasn’t scared lol.

He can just avada kedavra the alien. Blow the T-800 up. All while being invisible. Gandalf, SW, DS don’t stand a chance. They wouldn’t even see him coming.

When did dumbledore tell him to stay hidden. You mean that gesture, he couldnt say anything cause he didnt want them to know harry was there. Even dumbledore knew Potter was weak and would get his *** handed too him so he sacrificed himself to save harry. But **** that harry should have popped up and saved his mentor- he stood there with a scared expression on his face and just watched him die- you cannot spin it any other way cause thats exactly what happened. Hell even Frodo could take out harry potter with sting, his lightbulb lol, the one ring- he doesn't even know how to wield magic but would still kick harry's ***. Ring obsessed Frodo would go completely savage on him. Frodo was so much more brave and courageous its not even a comparison between the two characters. Frodo would have risked his life to save Gandolf even after he said run you fools- had they not been holding on to him or pulling him away

But seriously...

PT > OT

Nolan Batman > Batman 89

Raimi Spider-Man > Superman

Pixar > 80s Comedies

Fast and Furious > Mad Max

Pirates of the Caribbean > Indiana Jones

Bourne > Rambo

Iron Man > Robocop

LOTR > Aliens

Harry Potter > Terminator



Man the 2000s were just built different. Improved upon everything in the 80s so much. The focus of collecting stems from this era. You don?t see 80s crap being produced now. It?s all PT based Star Wars, LOTR, Harry Potter, Nolan Bat, MCU based. As it should be. Far superior franchises.

I'll give you Spiderman and the Nolan trilogy , but in general, your taste is awful.

Also, not a single Bourne film is better or even close to First Blood or Rambo 4. Bourne isn't even that popular. I'd take John Wick before Bourne.

As for collectibles, a lot of it is from the 80s franchises. No Pirates stuff, no F&F, no Bourne figures, no Raimi Spidey, barely anything from LOTR and Potter. Most of it is dominated by MCU and SW, which still sells OT stuff. Even the Mandalorian is tied to Boba Fett.

That is what everyone thinks of when they hear the word "rap". [...]

Everyone? I find that a little hard to believe but okay. I mean the genre is as complex and diverse as rock 'n' roll and overlaps it in plenty of spots.

There's lots that's merely hedonistic or raunchy, no more or less misogynistic than sample cross section of rock music. That's not even taking into account the political, the whimsical, the concept albums, the theatrical ...

And not everyone everywhere raps about **** the police all the time.

Like any genre of music, it depends on what you're paying attention to, I guess -- and by extension what's getting pushed to the masses.

MCU Scarlet Witch and Strange are toned down from the comics, but even then, their magic feats in the MCU completely destroy anything Harry Potter did in any of the films. Completely different leagues power. As for Luke vs Potter, I don't know, because Disney Luke is trash. EU Luke destroys Potter, and so do Comic Strange and SW.

 

[jye4ever]

I saw Yngwie Malmsteen, Merciful Fate, Dokken, Motorhead, Judas Priest, Scorpions and Iron Maiden live in the 80s lol

 

[ajp4mgs]

Nothing can touch the 80?s and I mean nothing.

Empire, Jedi, Raiders, Aliens, Terminator, Die Hard, Conan, Rambo, Road Warrior, Predator, Superman 2, Robocop, Batman, Comedies.

Sorry Blade Runner and The Thing fans those 2 were duds when released so I can?t help you there lol

The 70's have the 80's beat (easily) if you're talking about movie quality across the board.

Godfather 1 & 2, Star Wars, and Jaws. If you made a list of greatest movies of all time and put those four in your Top 10, it'd barely even raise many eyebrows. And each of them has a legacy that continues to influence films to this day. Godfather redefined mobster movies. Star Wars redefined fantasy. And Jaws pretty much invented summer blockbusters.

If you throw in Alien, Rocky, Taxi Driver, Close Encounters, Halloween, Chinatown, and Apocalypse Now . . . the 70's start running away with it.

And I'm surprised that some here thought the 90's were a crap decade for movies. That kinda blows my mind. Strong movie decade, imo.

The real question is Luke Skywalker vs Harry Potter.

I don't think the Force and magic should be thought of synonomously. Magic is far more of a "cheat." If you can turn your enemy into a frog, then it's game over. No one in Star Wars can use the Force as a shortcut to victory like that.

Even the Jedi mind trick is limited to working on the weak-minded. No one in SW can simply alter all of reality the way Scarlet Witch, Zatanna, Dr. Fate, and Dr. Strange can. There's really no reason why characters like those, and the Harry Potter ones, should ever lose to non-magic opponents. Including Jedi and Sith.

Magic is lame. But the Force is getting there in a hurry, I will admit.

Taste is subjective. Not everything from the 80s is super amazing.

There is not a single 80s comedy film that is better than the 00s Pixar lineup of Monster Inc, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars, Ratatouille, Wall-E, Up.

The 80s Mad Max movies are atrocious. Utterly awful. Fast and Furious, at least the first two, are better movies in every aspect.

The reason I didn’t say John Wick is because this is a discussion about 00s movies vs 80s movies. 00s movies are movies released from 2000-2009.

Potter and Iron Man are 10x more popular than Terminator and Robocop, better movies too.

And what are you talking about barely anything from LOTR and Potter. Go to bigbadtoystore or entertainment earth. Type in all those 80 franchises and you will see just how little is being made compared to Potter and LOTR.

Hell, the number one collectible, Funko POPs, have Harry Potter as the top line each quarter a new wave is released. W

For me an overall score I put 80s in first place THEN yes the 70s right behind it.

SW 77 alone is significant enough to give the 70s that 2nd place spot.

But the 80s is king!

 

[ZE_501]

Yeah, that'd be like conjuring a lightsaber out of thin air from a great distance.

 

[matticus]

Spongebob would destroy all these clowns!

Or Astral projection...

 

[Skywalker(OG)Kush]

Or Astral projection...

Lol nice.

Harry potter vs luke skywalker is another dumb matchup take away harry potters wand and he is nothing, he needs a wand to perform his spells. Luke would just use the force to disarm him then force choke his little *** he wouldn't even need to ignite the saber. The cloak ducky keeps touting would be of no use cause luke doesnt need to see with his “eyes” he would just sense him with the force

 

[DiFabio]

Pirates of the Caribbean > Indiana Jones

Harry Potter > Terminator

Huh

A lot of those you listed I get, but these two are completely random, especially when there were Indiana Jones and Terminator movies in the 00s.


Harry Potter is for faegs.


And Iron Man 1 isn?t better than Robocop. Robocop is funnier, has better action and is way bloodier. Kids ****ing love that ****. Robert Downy Jr. is a little *****.

 

[Skywalker(OG)Kush]

Lol harry potter is for females and kids but mostly the former

The first robocop is awesome but ill never be convinced the others were great lol. Hence why i picked ironman he had more good showings even if i disliked ironman 2 and 3, i liked his character in the other marvel movies-

 

[Wor-Gar]

The Harry Potter is basically code for Vag, isn't it?

Honestly, I don't know enough about Harry Potter, but from the little I've seen in the movies, he wasn't that great of a wizard. Colin Farrell/ Johnny Depp in that in Harry Potter prequel was way more impressive and he didn't need a wand. I can see that guy easily taking out Luke, but Harry just seemed to be the "chosen" to beat the snake man, but only because he had plot armor from the writer. I can't think of a single moment where he did anything impressive in a fight. I'm sure there's more to the character than his power level, unlike the all powerful Goku.
