Post by dilbertschalter »

Last time, what seemed like an explosive faceoff turned into a damp squib as Countdown to Heaven beat The Time Bombed Skyscraper. This time, we have:

Movie 2: The Fourteenth Target

vs.

Movie 6: The Phantom of Baker Street

"The energies of our system will decay; the glory of the sun will be dimmed, and the earth, tideless and inert, will no longer tolerate the race which has for a moment disturbed its solitude. Man will go down into the pit, and all his thoughts will perish. The uneasy consciousness, which in this obscure corner has for a brief space broken the contented silence of the universe, will be at rest. Matter will know itself no longer. 'Imperishable monuments' and 'immortal deeds,' death itself, and love stronger than death, will be as though they had never been."

I think I'm going with The Fourteenth Target.
Partly because I once made an MEP part with it :P
I liked it more than Phantom :P

Fourteenth target seems better and well thought up by me. Phantom isnt bad either, though.

The Fourteenth Target, easily. It's less of a movie than Phantom, but it has the most interesting and involving character development of any of the movies (and, frankly, it's superior in that regard to the vast majority of plot-related manga cases).

I like both, but (regardless of the very sci-fi ideas of Phantom) I prefer Phantom for the sake of Sherlock Holmes + Jack the Ripper.

Everything else > 6 > 14

So Fourteenth Target, obviously.

I do love The Phantom of Baker Street. They're both awesome, but personally, I think Phantom a little more so.

I went with Fourteenth Target.  I liked both, but Fourteenth Target was better on a second watch than Phantom of Baker Street.  Probably because the backstory of Eri and Kogoro was fun to get into, moreso after seeing some of their future character interactions.  Still disappointing that there hasn't really been any since then though >_<'.

That was a pretty impressive margin of victory, I expected it to be a fair bit closer than that.
