Hawkeye Respect Thread

I've been wanting to make a respect thread for a while now and I have decide to give respect to Clint Barton A.K.A Hawkeye. He has become one of my favorite characters so I will try and do him justice by letting you know why you should respect him.

Clint show casing his accuracy including shooting three types of trick arrows to catch the bad guys

Clint training under intense circumstances to perfect his accuracy as well as sparring with Mocking Bird.

Messed up arm? no problem Clint can still make the shot with only one arm.

Going toe to toe with Crossbow in a game of accuracy

Accuracy is still great even in a dark night.

Showing that he can throw his arrows with strength along with other objects with accuracy and power.

Hawkeye taking out Karnak while the other Avengers get their butts handed to them.

May not be a power of a feat but Clint has hooked up with many of the hottest female Marvel Characters that we must respect his pick up skills.

List of Trick Arrows used by Hawkeye

  • Acid Arrows
  • Adamantium Arrows (often combined with Electrical arrowhead)
  • Blunt Arrows
  • Bola Arrows
  • Putty arrow.
  • Cable Arrow (allowing him to swing through the air)
  • Electrical Arrow
  • Boxing Glove Arrow
  • Blast (Explosive) Arrow
  • Flare Arrow
  • Magnetic Arrowhead (adheres to metal surfaces; can be added to other arrows)
  • Magnesium Flare Arrow
  • Net Arrow
  • Pym Particles Arrow (increases or decreases the size of an object or opponent)
  • Rocket Arrowhead (boosts range, can be added to other arrows)
  • Smoke Arrow
  • Sonic Arrow
  • Suction Cup Arrowhead (adheres to smooth surfaces; can be added to other arrows)
  • Tear Gas Arrow
  • Thermal (Incendiary) Arrow
  • Vibranium Arrow (must have supplement Magnetic, Putty, or Suction Cup arrowhead to stick to target; deadens kinetic and vibratory energies)
  • USB Arrow (to remotely shutdown computer systems)
  • And my personal favorite Boomerang arrow

Well hope you guys enjoy this and give your respect for the archer.

The 10 best Super Bowl games.

Because of the Super Bowl game this coming Sunday I decided to do a early thread on my new top 10 series. This week I will list what I think are the top 10 Super Bowl games in NFL history. These games were picked for their significance to the game, records that were set or broken and for the dramatic finishes.

10. Super Bowl XXIII

No Caption Provided

Super Bowl 23 is best know as one of the greatest performances by a wide receiver in the championship game ever. Hall Of Famer Jerry Rice added to why he should be considered the greatest to play his position. He ended the game by setting a Super Bowl record of 211 receiving yards with 11 receptions in a 20 to 11 win against the Cincinnati Bengals. The game it self was also suspenseful as the San Francisco won the game in the closing minutes on a Montana to John Taylor touch down pass.

9. Super Bowl III

The NFL had dominated the first few Super Bowls and the AFL was still looked upon as the small brother of the two leagues. But that all changed once "Broadway" Joe Namath entered the discussion. Making a bold statement that the Jets would defeat the Baltimore Colts put a lot of pressure on himself and on his team to make a statement that the AFL would not roll over. Namath was able to take lead his Jets into victory with a 16 to 7 victory giving the AFL the leagues first Super Bowl winner.

With the devastation of hurricane Katrina there was very little hope in New Orleans for a bright future. But the city turned to it's football team in order to forget the harsh living conditions it was in at the time. Little did they expect that once the team had acquired Drew Bress the team was bound for greatness. From one of the worst teams in the league to becoming one of the most potent offense in NFL history the Saints were able to get to Super Bowl. But it was a key defensive play by the defense on a Payton Manning interception that was able to capture the Saints for championship and also bringing a city together in the process.

7. XXXIX

The game was close through the game but the Patriots took control in the 4th quarter taking a slim lead against the Philadelphia Eagles. with less the 3 minutes to go Donavon McNabb took the Eagles down the field and cut the lead to only three points. But the Patriots proved too much as they won their 3rd Super Bowl of the young decade.

6.XXII

While the game score is not one of the competitive scores in Super Bowl history Super Bowl 22 is still one of the greatest. It is first time that an African American QB had ever taken his team to the Super Bowl and won the championship game. While African American players were still a minority seeing Redskins QB Doug Williams led his team to victory meant a lot for other African American athletes

5. .XXXIV

You don't earn the nickname of "The Greatest Show on Turf" without scoring some points. And that's what we saw from the Saint Louis Rams team's from the late 90's early 00's. But one of the classic games game in Super Bowl 34. The Rams controlled the game from the start taking a dominated lead but the Titans came back to score 10 unanswered points. But the Rams took a late lead with only 2 minutes left on the clock. Steve Mcnair marched his team down the field and with only seconds left threw a pass to wide out Kevin Dyson. Dyson tried to stretch the play out but was tackled down one year away from the goal line in one of the most famous moments in Super Bowl History.

4. XXXVI

Whether you love him or you hate him this Super Bowl was Tom Brady's coming out party. Facing off against a former Super Bowl champion this game came down to the final seconds. Brandy may have been a nobody at the start of the season but he marched his team down the field in the closing seconds for a Adam Vinatirie field goal. This would also be Vinatieri coming out party as it would be one of the many Super Bowl games were he would be the deciding factor.

3. XLIII

Not only did this game become the highest watched Super Bowl game but it was one the best of all time. James Harrison intercepted a Kurt Warner pass and ran it back for a Super Bowl record 100 yard run back for a touch down before half time. The Cardinals were trailing 20 to 7 entering the fourth quarter but with former Super Bowl MVP Kurt Warner the Cardinals mounted a furious comeback. With a few moments left on the game clock the Steelers orchestrated a drive down the field capped off by Santonio Holme's incredible touchdown grab .

2.XXXVIII

Okay no this Super Bowl is not ranked number two for Janet Jackson's flash during half time. But this is one of the only few Super Bowl games the lived up to the hyped. The Patriots were back in familiar grounds and were facing a surprising Carolina Panthers team. While the first half saw very little action (besides Janet's flash) the second half saw more fireworks than the pregame start. The score was tied heading towards the few seconds until Tom Brandy drove the Patriots down the field for Vinatieri to again make Super Bowl History by kicking the game winning field goal.

1. Super Bowl XLVI

No Caption Provided

It's ironic that in this Super Bowl match the Giants were the David in this David vs. Goliath match. The Patriots were on the verge of becoming only the second team in NFL history to go undefeated but all the was standing was the NY Giants who the Patriots had previously defeated in the final game of the regular season. The Giants confused the Patriots offensive line with their blitzing as they were able to sack Tom Brady numerous times. Eli Manning removed himself form his big brothers shadow as he drove the team down the field and with a incredible scramble kept the drive going by through a pass to David Tyree. The drive was finished off with a touchdown pass to wide out Plaxico burress.

What's your favorite Super Bowl game? How do you think this years game will stack up against previous years?

The 10 best movie theme songs.

Recently I watched the trailer for the reboot for the upcoming Robocop film and something felt missing from it. And it hit me. This reboot along with most recent films are all missing that classics memorable theme song. Back in the late 70's 80's and 90's many films were released with some of the most memorable themes that have made a impact in our culture and have been classics since their release. So this is my list of what I feel are the top ten theme songs.

10. RoboCop

Speaking about Robocop it's hard not to forget the classic theme song from the trilogy. After Alex Murphy's death this theme became the music played once he was turned into the crime fighting justice bringing Robocop. It's hard not to think about justice and crime fighting when you listing to this theme.

9. The Good the Bad and the Ugly

When you think of the classics western movie it's hard to no think about this theme. This theme song is the perfect back ground music for a mano y mano battle.

8. Terminator 2 Judgment Day

"Come with me if you want to live". Trying to stop the extinction of the human race. Battling robots sent from the future. Finding out that you will once lead the human race into battle against Skynet. This theme fits the film well with giving the film viewer hope that John Conner will save the human race.

7.Indian Jones

Have you ever wanted to go on an adventure? Find lost treasures? Escape from being killed from a angry village? Then this theme should be included in your adventure don't forget your whip and hat.

6. 007

No matter if its Jean Connery, Pierce Brosnan or Daniel Greg the 007 theme song will always follow Bond. This has become part of today's culture along with the classic catch phrases and villains from the film franchise.

5. Back To the Future

1.21 Gigawatts, flux capacitor, flying daloreans, going back in time making out with a younger version of your mom, singing Johnny B Good. What's not to love about this film? The theme is classic and never got old if you ever got to hear it after you took a ride on the Back To the Future ride at Universal Studios Hollywood/Florida.

4. Jurassic Park

As terrifying as a island full of genetically cloned dinosaurs may be the films theme song captures the majestic idea of creatures once thought to be lost but now brought back from extinction only to now run wild on the island eating any one stuck on the island.

3. Jaws

Let's face it this was the film and theme song that made you want to stay out of the water. The theme captures both the ferocity that a shark can have and it also builds up the tension leading to the inevitable devouring of the victim.

2 Rocky

I dare you to listing to this theme and not want to run up a flight of stairs. This song captures the hidden underdog in all of us and makes us want to stand up from our seats and cheer on as Rocky proves the odds wrong.

1. Star Wars

I don't know if there is another more recognizable or unforgettable theme song than the Star Wars theme. Even if you have never watched the film and are watching it for the first time and the theme starts playing you already know your in for a wild ride as you go to a galaxy far far away.

Well I hope you guys like my list. And again this is my list I know I left out some film theme songs (Superman) but let me know what you guys think are your top 10 theme songs and what are some of the themes from any of the recent films you feel could become classic theme songs in the near future.
