    Yeah, Star Wars has been around since the 70's, it defined cinematic science fiction, and has one of the biggest fanbases in existence.

    I'm sorry Jordy, but your really not suited to take part in debates. Your ''facts'' are truly dry and untrue and your approach is atrocious. Grow up, will you?

    Star Wars is a more famous franchise than Harry Potter. I'm sorry. It's been around for more than 30 years and still has a following. Harry Potter will surely be like this and is obviously famous and a work of genius (IMO) but it;s not more famous than Star Wars;

    No, don't bother to continue.
    In that case than the Twilight Saga is the better than series like Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter at a point.
    Also, Star Wars was conceived in a time where google didn't exist.

    the reason, Harry Potter is more recent than Star Wars, and therefore bigger.
    You're being serious?

    Jordy, stop arguing with us because we're smarter and better informed.

    No, you shouldn't continue, Jordy. You are completely unjustified, and beyond stupid. Had Potter been made in the 70's and 80's, it probably would have made less than Star Wars. Had the original Star Wars been made in our time, it would have made just as much, if not more than Potter has. It is a matter of fact that money is everything, but it has changed... in that every film will make more money now than it would have back then, as is the way of the market. Google hits doesn't mean a damn thing. Would you now say because of Youtube views, that Justin Bieber is more popular than Potter, simply because he has more views? Pure and simple... Star Wars has more followers in Planet Earth, so, stop trying it with all your gobble.

    Well yeah I mean anything that's more recent is going to be a hotter topic. But that is in no way a gauge for popularity.

    Seeing as the last Harry Potter movie has recently been released, I don't see how we can compare to to Star Wars which has been out for more than 30 years and has proved to stand the test of time.

    youre omitting my biggest point. If you go on the streets, people will know more about HP than star wars, the reason, Harry Potter is more recent than Star Wars, and therefore bigger.
    Wrong. If you were to literally ask anyone if they knew who Darth Vader was, they would know. I can guarantee you right now, that Lord Voldemort is not as well known, and thus... you wouldn't go to every country and find that they know who you are talking about.

    is it about the villains? Who doesnt know who Harry Potter is?
    It is about iconic faces, not villains. If i were to take a picture of Darth Vader anywhere, it would get the same reaction everywhere. If i were to take a picture of Lord Voldemort anywhere, alot of people would wonder who the hell it is. Many would agree with me, including JK herself.

    That picture is shite. Darth Vader isn't even the main villain of the Star Wars film saga. It's always been Palpatine, who trumps Voldemort in every single way. And I will debate that. (Also, Vader did not destroy Alderaan, Tarkin did)
    Star Wars is DEFINITELY a bigger franchise than Harry Potter. I don't know why this is even a topic of conversation. Harry Potter may be a huge franchise of our generation, but as it was stated, Star Wars has been around since the seventies, and the film saga only concluded a few years ago. And the expanded universe...Well, I shouldn't even have to say anything.
    Also, while people prefer the original trilogy over the prequels, I will say that in my opinion, both are equally amazing for their time period.

    Can we just get back on topic please? I just wanted to discuss David Yates and what he did in the last 4 movies...
  • Lord StaffordLord Stafford Posts: 27,353 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Sure, but what's wrong with a friendly debate?

    Friendly? You were abusing Jordy...

  • Lord StaffordLord Stafford Posts: 27,353 ✭✭✭✭✭
    No, i wasn't. If coming up with a response to all his 'gobble' is what you call 'abuse' then i hasten to think of what actual abuse is like.

    Don't patronise me with quotations. So fucking sick of it. As ridiculous as Jordy was being, you have no right to be so fucking rude to him. Do NOT try and cover it up, and do NOT try and justify it, or I will see to it that you are banned from here, I promise you. I'm sorry but people like you really fucking piss me off.

  • Lord StaffordLord Stafford Posts: 27,353 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I'm a mod, and if anyone is to be banned here... it's you. If you can tell me when and where i was abusing him, then i would like to know. If you can't, keep it to yourself.

  • PhineasPhineas Posts: 1,982 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Oh, what the fuck ever. Abusive, insulting, rude, prejudiced, bullying, whatever you want to call it, pick one. The point I am making is that you WERE being discriminatley rude to him simply for having a misguided opinion. Stop relying on specifics, I was using the word 'abusive' very loosely. Jordy doesn't even like me, and I'm sticking up for him. Why? Because I'm right.
    So, IF you ban me, then you will at last prove that you are a cocky bigoted self-righteous tosser, so you'll be doing me a favour. I don't think you ARE that, but you can be at times. And if you do, as I said, I will make sure you get banned also. Anyone who bans someone for a forum for sticking up for someone else is obviously a fuckwit, so I'll bring you down with me.
    So just do something reasonable, for God's sake. Scroll up, read your comments, admit to yourself you could have worded things a bit fucking better, and apologize to Jordy. Then I will be satisfied and I won't communicate with you again.
    In all honesty, I don't WANT you to ban me. I enjoy a lot of this forum. I love the people, and you I can tolerate when you're at least rational and reasonable, but when you level up in jerkass...I can't tolerate it.
    Your choice. Ban me, and I'll find a way to retaliate. Or just admit that you were unnessecarily rude. Go. The fuck. Ahead. Make my day.

    I'm not going to ban you, but if you threaten to have me banned, then of course i will retaliate in the same way, the same manner. Believe me... you wouldn't find a way to have me banned if i did. But i'm sorry to disappoint you, i won't apologize to Jordy, even if that does apparently mean that i'm a self-righteous so and so. I have no reason to apologize, nor do i have a reason to scroll up and have a read through of what's been said, as i already know. One person has been coming up with something that is bound to get the blood boiling, and that one person isn't me. I am perfectly reasonable when i need to be, otherwise i wouldn't be a mod, would i?

    You'll find that alot of other people are pissed at Jordy for what he's been doing and saying. I'm not going to give him the satisfaction of having me say that i'm sorry. I don't mind people sticking up for themselves at all. In fact... if that didn't happen, we wouldn't even have a forum. I have been bullied myself numerous times over my life, and i no longer accept it. I have seen people getting bullied and i confront it. I am no bully.

    Whatever, Stafford. Whatever. Ignore me from now on. You've been doing that for a while now. Do not talk to me again...
