Now Superman fighting DARTH VADER , that's a different matter.

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard!!

I saw the prequels! Anakin Skywalker is the same guy as Darth Vader!!!!!

That's like saying Clark Kent couldn't beat Anakin but Superman could!

For as much as some people claim to hate what Star Wars has become, they sure seem incapable of shutting up about it.

I think those who actually do post such topics, for real, would write of an "Anikan" in the subject, rather than "Anukin"...

Wait, wait. Is it Anikan, Anukin or Anakin?

No, really. Which is it?

Anakin, although I think early, early, early drafts spelled it as Annikan or something like that. But, yeah, Anakin.

What does Lucas have against names like Jeff, huh?

"Hello. I am Jeff, the Jedi Knight. Wanna come back to my place? I seem to have misplaced my salami."

See? It's a good name. Feels all futurey, too.

But OMG lol liek could Anikan win wit Supreman if dey fort in da Matrix and Anikan had Neo's powur and Supreman had Spiderman's web and Soran's One Ring and they could all jump and shoot crosboats liek Van Helsing dude?

The sad thing is that you could probably find a couple thousand of such genuine messages within seconds with a random search engine.


But on a serious note - all those fights are pointless, since it's been obvious for decades that one man could easily destroy all Supermen, Godfathers, Anakins - pardon me: Anikans - King Kongs, et al., with nothing but a finger snap:

i'm thinking tag team combat ...

on one side you have Lt. Commander Data, Robbie the Robot, and Astro Boy and on the other there's Roy Batty, Twiki, and 4-LOM.
oooooh yeah ... in an all-out no-holds-barred robot wrestling match, BABY. my bets would be on the latter team, as Twiki is the only one with a semblance of ethics .... the other two are just plain ruthless MOFOs.

ah crap, but then theres' that "operationalization" jazz. you totally made that word up, didn't you? is that somehow related to the human instrumentality project? i thought so.

EDIT: spelling

If I remember correctly, conceptualization is when you decide what is going to be measured, and operationalization is when you decide how you're going to measure it.

Conceptualization stage:

Turanga Leela and Amy Wong, both well-rested, will be pitted against each other in an oil wrestling match to determine the superior slippery wrestler using Traditional Apefight Rules.

Operationalization stage:

Construct wrestling arena of given size, lay down plastic tarp, slather with 25.7 gallons of baby oil, etc ... using Traditional Apefight Rules, whomever scores three points first wins.

ah ha! it's a social science term. that explains why i've never heard of it. i always get social science confused with pseudo science (or confused with studio gainax)! silly me.

funny, m-w.com had no definition for it, but wikipedia was all over that shiznit.
thanks for educating me, scruffy, and for the entertaining thread! couching the definition in terms i can readily relate to, ie oiled-up ladies wresting, really brought that home for me. it resonates deep, deep inside. deep inside. like, in a fajita.

I'll get back to the topic for a while:

Do we know if a lightsaber can cut Superman?
And now, for your feature presentation:
The Classic Re-re-re-release of Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back.
In this version the word "WOOKIE" has been changed to "HAIR CHALLENGED ANIMAL" and the entire cast has been digitally replaced by Ewoks.

only if the lightsaber crystal was kryptonite. otherwise, i would doubt it as supes can withstand laserblasts pretty readily. however, you're forgetting the operationalization problem ... and perhaps the self-reflexive satire thing too. hmm ... maybe they could use a quantum shadowing technique between dimensions to relate scrabble turns. i bet superman would trounce anakin at scrabble. i mean, anakin never seemed all that articulate. that may have something to do with george lucas, though (i wish that i could just wish away the bad writing).

toward the operationalization quandry--the dimension inhabited by star wars ostensibly is also our own, just a long time ago and far, far away, right? i know of no city in my dimension called metropolis, but surely an incarnation of supes at some point inhabited our dimension. if so, then that superman could simply fly around the earth, reversing it's rotation thereby travelling back in time (a la superman the movie). then he could occupy the same time and dimension as anakin, which would leave the small matter of flying his super butt over to the mustafar and presto ... scrabble championship face-off.

We used to live on "Earth Prime," but that Earth along with most of the others was destroyed during the Crisis on Infinite Earths. Then it was revealed that the post-Crisis Earth is slightly larger than the Marvel Earth, accounting for the extra cities like Metropolis, Gotham, etc. We obviously don't live on the Marvel Earth, but I think we, too, live on a smaller Earth. Since the appearance of a Superman seems to be linked to the existence of Metropolis, and our Earth is too small to host a Metropolis, there's almost no way any incarnation of Superman could exist here.

Unless this is a version of Earth Prime that wasn't destroyed in the Crisis (different timeline, you know), in which case somewhere there's an Earth Prime Superman ... but he's as bad as Anakin; the one from the Crisis Multiverse recently tried to destroy the DC Universe and went on a whiny rampage. (Another reason I don't read the monthly books.)

Our best bet for getting these two together is a reconceptualization ... we must model them in a computer. Perhaps we can distribute the computation load over a number of systems, like SETI@home does. It's certainly just as important.

As for lightsabers ... I kind of doubt they'd even scratch him. Even if they did, he still has super speed to react and fly away from danger. And it's unlikely that kryptonite would be used in constructing a lightsaber, seeing as kryptonite is, you know, only found in the remains of the planet Krypton.

well, you know the old saw--with great power comes absolute whineyness ... er, or corrupted absolution .... or something like that. yeah, anakin does seem to surround himself with a neigh-impenetrable field of whineyness. i wonder, could it be even more powerful than superman's bioelectric field? by the simple metric of my ear, anakin's impressive whineyness is far more insipid than any conceivable bioelectric field.

as it happens, i have access to the supercomputer center at UC San Diego. if we wrote up a decent proposal we could potentially have thousands of number-crunching hours at our whimsy. maybe if we framed it as an AI experiment. any AI programmers in our midsts?

btw, my (female) roommate was reading this thread over my shoulder and just declared her love for you, scruffy! hats off to you, good sir! it's a wonky world when exhaustive knowledge of superman scores high with the ladies.

Dark Lord, tell your female roommate to send me a PM. I am -- strangely enough -- underloved for someone who has a working knowledge of both research techniques and DC continuity history.

As for whineyness overpowering a bioelectric field, I must agree. Superman always seems to be at his weakest when surrounded by angst. This has historically been blamed on the writers, but it may be that adolescent ennui has a deleterious effect on his Kryptonian metabolism. See any appearance of Superman in a Frank Miller Batman book.

(Incidentally, I *love* The Dark Knight Returns and recommend it to everyone here. Just in case you haven't already read it and been overpowered by its greatness.)

awww ... that's a sad tale, my friend. you must be doing something wrong if'n your life isn't full of warmth and love. remember, too much time in the lab or the library will leave you a dessicated husk of a man. you should reconsider your priorities, and start kissing those frogs!

i passed the message along, but i wouldn't get your hopes up. though surprisingly amenable to the nerd fringe culture, i somehow doubt she'd go in for the intertron dating scene despite your charming overtures. she did say she got "all splooshy," before giggling and running out of my room (whatever that means). this from a 30 year old.

chicks.

oh, and i'm with you on the genius that is frank miller. i have yet to check out the loeb books but i've heard good things ...

Very cool comic. I agree about the angst though.

My problem is I didn't spend enough time in the library when a highly-ranked school was paying me to do so. But that's neither here nor there, and I really don't want to go wherever it is. And I'm nowhere near nerd fringe culture. I don't do "furry," or "cosplay," and have only dabbled in role playing games. I'm a mainstream nerd. Unfortunately, that means I also don't do intarweb dating, so I guess I will have to write your splooshy roommate off as the one who got away. Tell her that it was better to have loved and lost ... however that goes. It's Shakespeare, I think; but not Hamlet, so not worth remembering.

As for Loeb ... hmm. I think TLH/DV and Hush are very stylish achievements, but storywise, they're no Dark Knight. I read one or two arcs from B/S and left it alone. I want to pick up When in Rome sometime, since I kind of like his take on Selina Kyle. I also like the completely opposite take on her from Miller, Newhart, and Cooke. It's all good. Catwoman is hard to do wrong. (Though Pitof and Berry certainly proved it's possible.)

s'cool. the top tier academic life is not for the vast majority of sane folks, even if you do love your project down through the bones. in fact, i'm convinced that you have to be a kind of sociopath to really succeed in that world. ie be driven totally by ego, glory/nobel lust, or masochism. as jayne says, "when does that get fun?" i say nev-ahhhh!

i haven't gone the furry/cosplay route either, but i definitely wouldn't judge if someone were into that, you know? people are into all kinds of freaky stuff, but who's to say what's socially acceptable and what's not? so long as the kids are enjoying themselves, i say rock on wit' your bad-ass little furry selves.

it sounds like you have a good attitude, scruffy. if you are open to it, and if you put yourself out there, i'm confident that before too long some lovely little thing will be caught up in your arms, cuddling and snoodling you, and then you'll be like "damn, i wish i had more time to get my dork on at originaltrilogy.com with my bros or maybe read a comic once in a while" and she'll be like "take out the garbage, scruffy" and then it's all "let's have a baby or five" and then with the mortgage and the tuition and the car payments and the insurance, and before you know it you'll already be like 70. dang. if you can quote hamlet, you're already half-way there, smoove.

Why wouldn't it? Superman's the Man of Steel, right? We know that lightsabers can cut through steel, right? So, badda bing, badda boom, Super Shredder.
