Fizz, I am not saying that you don't have a point (I was talking with a friend of mine the other day who told me about how he perceives double standards against whites in society, so if that's your point, that's fair), but I don't see how this particular example proves it? I think you're just being a bit sensitive with this one. Do you know how many white people I've had assume that I'm the "ghetto/street" type, even though I don't even dress/talk in a way that even could possibly give them that impression? None of these people were really "bad" people (they were more like the liberal type that Juiceboks described) and meant it in a demeaning/bad way, but some of them had many examples of having stereotypical views of blacks. Again, not saying that you don't have a point (and maybe your point was just about double standards in current American culture), I'm just saying, this particular example you gave wasn't really a good one to prove it imo. In terms of double standards, you also have to keep in mind that there are double standards against blacks, too, as there are with other races, and have more to do with perceptions imo (which was the point of the example I gave).

And I don't mean this in a rhetorical sense, but what do you mean "talking gangsta?" Like what did he say, the "n-word", because a lot of people (even hispanic, asian, and white) these days say that? Was he just rude or something?

Count how many times people say "n*gger" on Xbox live when you tell them you're black lmao

Actually, it's so common that it's pretty much a meme, but considering the demographics, it's not really surprising. With women, I imagine it would be similar in concept (assuming that's the kind of stuff you're talking about).

@nickthedevil: I know this is about a year old but what other feats does ted have? I've always been curious to know but it seems no one has the feats or knows about the character.

Also, you said you were working on a ted capability thread yeah?

I'd definitely say Kaine. While he doesn't have the spider sense, zealot is still--for all of her experience-- fighting an opponent woefully faster than her, stronger , more agile, etc. Because of his more direct fighting style and lack of a spider sense I imagine that she could get a hit or two off, and she may even get a cut or two with her sword (I can see it, considering her skill and his direct approach). But after that Kaine will surely take note of her skill advantage and fight in a manner that uses his advantages to the fullest extent. And I'm not even counting the other. She's really fighting a Peter (whom I feel she would lose against) with more lax morals and is much faster, stronger, and just as agile and doesn't really hold back (and certainly wouldn't joke around). Sure he lacks a spider sense but he really doesn't need it to dodge her attacks.

Additionally, I see it more than possible where Kaine can seperate her from her sword.

Garbage plus garbage equals garbage. It doesn't matter if that trash has a crossover. It's still garbage.

This isn't even really close imo

I actually love the look. There are pics on the set of Thor Ragnarok that show him with that kind of traditional gladiator/viking costume mix (sans the helmet), but I still can't say if it's legit. Still though, I'm liking it. Let's hope Thor: Ragnarok is actually a better Thor movie than the previous ones.

Did someone actually pick "no"?

lol so the way things are currently looking, I'm not gonna get into college :)

@batmanplusjay: I think I know what you're saying, and I feel the same way. I kinda feel that it should never be portrayed lopsided in either's favor because that's not really how it was ever really intended (all things equal, ofc). And if you're talking about the Arkham origins trailer (the in-game fight was garbage tbh), I think that was a great portrayal of both of the characters, and neither side really had a definitive advantage over the other. If one thing was for sure, the fight was close with both of them going back and forth with each of their respective advantages playing out in the fight, as it realistically should. Not moments where Slade is able to "easily" beat Batman or vice versa.

But that's just me tbh

I really think that this is an interesting topic and an interesting point that you guys are on to.

The consensus on comicvine is that "Slade stomps" or "Slade wins every time", but I really think that it's much much closer than people would believe (and I believe that many times, that's how it is portrayed to be). It really is close, in my honest opinion. I guess it really depends on the situation, too, and I see it more as a "flip a coin" type of thing more times than not.
