I'm not gay like you idiot

Wow...just...wow. I've been rendered speechless by the depth of your witty rebuttal. You're an honour to Newcastle fans everywhere. When you jump off the bandwagon, be sure not to break anything.

I can't believe that I picked Catwoman to go onto round two. The fact that she is more effective than Daredevil is a worry for Ben Affleck's manhood.
There are some other low standard match-ups, like the Sam Spade (The Maltese Falcon) vs. Spiderman (Spiderman) and the Zoro (Zoro) vs. Selene (Underworld) mastchups.
On the other side of the coin, the battle between Mad Max (Mad Max) vs. John Matrix (Commando) is like choosing one of your kids not to face certain death. Matrix would only need one toe to beat up Daredevil.
Btw, anyone who picks Alice over John Rambo is braindead. Rambo is one vicious sob.

I'm relieved to see old school favourite Indie isn't being beaten up by platinum age Marv. Indie has to win this. His only competition would've come from MacGuyver, but he didn't make the cut. :p

Isn't McGuyver just a TV character? I only included movie bad asses, else I'd have been going forever. Buffy was iffy, but technically she was a movie character before her meteoric rise to power.

Personally I want someone other than Indy to win. He got his ass kicked a hell of a lot. :p

Fair enough. Maybe the next round would have TV bad asses, then pit the winners into a Superbowl type finish :p

Marv would kick Indy's ass if they ever had to throw down. That said, Indy definitely deserves to progress based on his legend status.

Marv wouldn't kick his ass. Maybe if they were fighting in a vacuum or something, but Indy has taken on the stereotypical 'nigh on invincible' tough guy in the past.

I don't reckon even Marv could live through an experience with an airoplane propellor.

You are kidding, right? Marv gets riddled with bullets, beaten, hit by a car (three times!!!), electrocuted, and still manages to call them all a bunch of pussies. I'm sorry but cool as Indy is, he'd fry like anyone else if you put him in an electric chair.
