The Silver Surfer would fucking body Homelander and it wouldn't even be close. He's the one choice out of these four where you don't need to exaggerate shit to make him win.
Spider-Man is going to be situational, like normal running the mouth Spidey probably going to get his skull crushed in short order. But pissed off silent Spider-Man? Probably in with a good chance if he fights smart and dirty.

Iron Man and the T-1000 are interesting because, well, I'm not sure. Like maybe that laser in the Iron Man suit from IM2 could cut Homelander in half but while the guy is not Superman or Vision, he still moves plenty quick. The nanosuit from Infinity War might do the trick if Tony gets the first hit in and just doesn't let up.

The T-1000? Well, you can't accuse it of playing by the superhero equivalent of the Marquess of Queensberry Rules. So fuck knows; if it can give its knife hands a mono-molecular edge or something it'd probably just pretend to be an adoring fan to make him drop his guard and then cut his fuckin' head off.


Nerding is fun sometimes.
Oh, Silver Surfer, for sure, but Spider-Man? Outside of strength (which Homelander can match if not exceed,) I don't think Spidey has much up his sleeve that Homelander couldn't counter with a casual laser glance. That video imagines a world where Homelander is actually deterred by Spider-Man's webbing... seriously? I've not delved into the depths of comic book canon in decades, but I don't think something concocted in a lab has the tensile strength to effectively inhibit the strength of one who's basically Superman without a moral compass. Spidey might be able to duck and dodge a few,, but the one that lands ends that fight with Spidey split in half.

Spider-Man may not be able to outstrength em, but he can outwit him and trick Homelander into destroying himself. Otherwise, most people with similar powers to HM or are stronger than him. The Powerpuff Girls being one of the manny to outstrength him.

Homelander’s strength isn’t equal to modern Superman: if it was there would be nothing Billy Butcher and his merry band could do about him.

David Fincher is such a clown. Studios should not let directors have these rights over their movies, because too many of them become insane.

Ah, yes. 3 times Academy Award nominated director, with a very distinctive style and several highly renowned movies from the 1990s and 2000's. Total clown because you managed to find an example of one of his films having the "HD Restoration" screw up the lighting. Which as we all know has never been done by anyone competent ever. We should just take rights to films away from the people who made them and give it to the fans who know exactly what goes into the process.

Zekey is just being a salty jelly boy, because he knows he can never measure up to greatness, nor put in any actual effort. Just cry, moan, and troll and acting like the waste of space he achieves to be. Sucks to be him.

"One of his films" shows you don't know anything. This digital revisionism is all over the UHDs of Seven, Panic Room (which never had a Blu-ray and which now looks more sterile with so many things digitally erased) and now Fight Club.

Studios have a better track record than directors and directors of photography.

I guess he added the city behind the drapes because he wanted it to look less like a set, but who gives a damn? With the blue filter added, your attention is now drawn to the window instead of Tyler.

The theme in that South Park episode about the Raiders of the Lost Ark Special Edition was correct. As the public consumes a product, pays to see it over and over, buys the home video releases, it no longer just belongs to the creator. He has a responsibility to them because it wouldn't even have gotten new releases without their patronage. The point of restoration should be to preserve a work as it was.

The unaltered Star Wars will finally be released theatrically in 2027. Respect to Disney for that.

You mean the episode that literally depicted George Lucas raping Indiana Jones? THAT is your proof that creators owe anything to their fans beyond the product?

So no argument, again. Why do you even respond? Almost as bad as Bawlman.

OK, I'll make my point clear here. You want an argument, you got one. But only this once, because quite frankly, I prefer not making myself unhappy by finding things to ***** about. I'm only doing this to make it VERY clear where I fall on the "fans vs. creator" line not just for you, but anyone else.

Creators don't owe their fans anything other than the product. THAT'S IT. I'm not thrilled with restorations that screw up when upscaling to HD. You know what I do about it? Stick to the originals. If a director makes a film that doesn't appeal to me, I don't watch it. I don't say the director is a clown and demand that they make the film I want them to make. That doesn't make me a fan. That makes me a fucking egotistical snob who thinks I know more about how to make a movie than the people who actually make the movie. The very fact that you think studios have a better track record for maintaining quality than the actual people making the movie just shows that you either don't realize how much you don't know, or are actively trying to be a contrarian because you feel like agreeing with anything close to the majority makes you smarter, without realizing that if most people are saying something...it's much more likely that they are onto something than that you are the smartest person in existence and everyone else is just a moron.

Now, the Star Wars example you cited? I'll give that to you, because when George Lucas made those changes, he actually did take away access to the originals. That is the only time where I will say creators go too far with "fixing" their vision. Unless the original is literally made unavailable, though, there are two options to handle changes I don't like to future editions, or remakes I don't care for. I can ***** about it online for literally months at a time, finding everything I can to agree with me and spending far more capital on it than anyone who is actually enjoying the thing I don't like or just ignoring it because a thing existing isn't actually an insult to my existence...or I can just be one of those people who says "not for me", or checks it out, finds it lacking, writes a review that may be quite snarky, and then moves on to find something to actually enjoy. I choose that route, because I like actually enjoying stuff. You seem to get more pleasure out of hating something and telling people they are wrong for liking it. To me, that doesn't make you a fan of anything, it makes you a bully demanding everyone cater to you and your likes and dislikes. Despite that, I do genuinely hope you find something you enjoy as much as you find things you hate.

The Spaceballs sequel is pointless. You can't make fun of Star Wars in a movie format anymore, after Disney fouled it up so badly that it's now widely scorned. It's like making fun of a mentally handicapped child. No joy in it.

Someone told me, "You'd have to make a ripoff Star Wars movie except it actually holds up as a Star Wars movie. Make fun of them by surpassing them." I agree.
