Is there a more satisfying and deserving beatdown of an arrogant character than Vegeta vs Android 18?
- Thread starter DragonSJG
- Start date
So you don't think tony was told about what happened in dc, and steve never said everything that happened about bucky?
Godlike Luffy moments. Bellamy getting whooped like that is so freaking good.
I'm gonna have to go with the writers were idiots, which makes practically all the characters idiots (but in a manner that feels very extratextual).
American Eagle beating the shit out of Bullseye in an issue of Thunderbolts was really enjoyable since I've always hated Bullseye (and the revamp of American Eagle was really cool)
frieza lasted an hour getting stomped while Goku n vegeta mess up fusion
so honestly kind impressive
best beating that goes to God Goku
even Vegeta was doing better then Goku who interrupts the fight gets annihilated
That wasn't a fuck Steve comment. Hishe handled the scene perfectly.
I didn't even know anyone could consider that a satisfying beatdown, Vegeta being arrogant and making a fool of himself was already a trope by then and the androids were absolute menaces so even the people disappointed in how cocky Vegeta was wouldn't root for the enemy or take much joy from it.
Oh I know. I was just responding to others from your past as well.
Is this the one where Skull was racist as shit?
Killer Bee vs Sasuke.
Sasuke was trying to keep up but Bee was just dancing.
JoJo has some of my favorites, can't forget the first time Jotaro meets Kira
When the Crusaders theme starts playing you know shit got real
Maybe Vegeta realized the series would end if he defeated Imperfect Cell? =p
a
Nobody viewed that Vegeta beatdown as that satisfying. Everyone felt the satisfaction in Bellamy and the Celestial Dragon getting beat down. We're talking in the moment satisfaction.
Being mind- controlled isn't a get out of jail free card in real life. I thought Jessica Jones did a really great job portraying how this would effect people long term.
Even if Bucky wasn't in his right mind, he's literally a living weapon who could snap at any time and off a bunch of citizens or a random head of state. He'd escaped merciful captivity just a few days before and did just that! Allowing him to live during one of these sprees would be as negligent as Batman/Joker. Tony - who finds out that this guy killed his parents the same week as the escape and a few days after Rhodey was crippled (again, trying to mercifully capture Cap N Friends, ignoring T'Challa who was trying to murder Bucky the entire film and no one gives him shit) - is 110% justified in trying to end him.

Freeza getting beat-down, so hard that Goku actually tries to quit fighting him in the Namek saga is a much better example of something from Z. Freeza was virtually invincible up until that point, and it was cathartic to see him get the absolute crap kicked out of him by Goku and taken down a peg. By the end of his saga, he's reduced to nothing more than a floating torso and everything that could have gone wrong for him was caused only by himself.
As for something that hasn't been used yet I'd choose Mr. Myagi schooling that tool from the first Karate Kid.

Why does Bucky's human leg make Iron Man buckle to his knee with a kick to the side?
Even though after watching it over again a couple times I realized Tony was right!
I felt happy when Luffy punched that Celestial Dragon, he deserved it.
I'm so happy to see the Civil War "what actually happened" team out in full force here. I do not get how anyone could come out of that and think Tony was in the wrong. ,,
I'm no expert on the manga, but I'd have to give this honor to Mashiba vs. Sawamura. Two sadistic fighters, plenty of blood and fouls, and Mashiba's return to form. Bliss.
The anime answer, however, is unquestionably Hawk vs. Takamura. Watching a sadistic, cocky racist get his ass trounced by Takamura is nothing short of cathartic.
Captain America (and co.) Having cross media plot armour. That's it.
more Hajime no Ippo: Ippo vs. Kojima aka when Ippo nearly caught a body!!!
TALK SHIT GET HIT!!! ONE PUNCH K.O.!!!
by far Ippo's best fight!!!

The thread isn't "best fight". It's most satisfying beat down of a smug character.
Jet Li's Fearless has a montage of Li taking out multiple challengers including one dude who charges at him with "Head Kung fu" and gets KOed in an instant by a kick to his head.
Funnily enough the entire movie is about Li being an arrogant prick, the terrible ramifications of it and finally him making up for it.

I love the Marvel movies but I find them to be simultaneaously one of the most blatant and sneakiest vehicule for exporting the american ethos ( in this case, hyperindividualism, might makes right and unilateral intervention) in other cultures (the sneakiest in my book being ghostbuster and its lowkey anti-government/anti-regulation, pro-business message)

This had nothing to do with ego. Tony literally just found out WS killed his mom and Steve's still all "look fuck you he's my friend" . To not be on Tony's side is to just dislike him lol.
Those 3 things are central to superheroes in general.
Eh, those scenes aren't comparable.
I skipped a page, so sorry if it was mentioned already, but Goku vs Jiren first round fits this bill so much for me. Goku at this point has doomed multiple universes by getting this tournament to happen and still continuously only cares about going toe to toe with the strongest guy there, Jiren, rather than working with his team to increase their chances of winning.
Then Jiren just wrecks him. Culiminating in Jiren destroying a massive Spirit Bomb just by goddamn looking at it. Even when Goku comes back with his Ultra Instinct Jiren plays him for a fool and beats him. Of course being DB eventually Goku beats him and it feels a bit contrived but there's some damn good fight scenes in that whole arc.

The end of Death Note - manga ending.
Light doesn't deserve getting a less pathetic end like from the anime
