Lycanthropy! 6: Army Beasts (CLOSED)

[Evil Dave]

As I'm sure you've all noticed I've got a soft spot for the shapeshifters. So I made this battle to find out which wolf is the king. Matchups will be chosen by me based on a factor that makes the opponents similar. Please make your selections based on which MONSTER you like better, not which movie you like more. If you haven't seen any of the movies than make your selection based on the pictures and monster stats that I've provided. Thanks!

REMEMBER, THIS IS A COMPETITION BASED ON JUST THE MONSTERS!!!

There will be 12 opening matchups. Winners will move on when they receive 3 votes(including mine), and I will break any ties. The final 3 winners will face off in a round where the highest vote getter will be named champion.

Dog Soldiers[glow=red,2,300]***[/glow]

VS.

Project: Metalbeast

These two contenders are werewolves mixed with the military. Dog Soldiers are a family of werewolves battling a regiment of abandoned Scottish soldiers in the secluded Scottish countryside.
Project: Metalbeast is the story of a frozen werewolf, thought to be dead, who is unthawed by military scientists and given an experimental "living" metallic skin in hopes of creating the ultimate cyborg weapon. Both movies made their initial debut on the Sci-Fi Channel. Here's the stats:

Dog Soldiers
--bipedal version
--change during full moon; can shapeshift anytime during full moon cycle
--Can only be killed by silver or beheading
--highly intelligent
--work as a pack
--very tough
--extremely good night vision
--unlike some bipedal wolves, they're not lumbering, but very quick and athletic
--kill to feed
--extremely lethal when encountered

Project: Metalbeast
--bipedal version
--1/2 beast, 1/2 living metal
--still changes with full moon
--still vulnerable to silver, although it takes much more than a bullet to pierce the "armor"
--kills for pleasure, not to feed
--extremely powerful, but horribly slow
--not incredibly bright
--can be escaped from, but lethal if it catches you
--played by the great Kane Hodder


'Nuff said, vote for your fav army brat.

i thought the werewolf in metalbeast was pretty cool..but i loved the dog soldiers werewolves the first time i saw them...and still do..so i cant go against them

my vote dog soldiers

[Evil Dave]

Yeah, I thought the metalbeast idea was a fairly good one, but I think that very same idea wrote checks that the budget simply couldn't cash.

I'm voting for Dog Soldiers because I thought they looked great, were violent, and were very well done overall.

Dog Soldiers needs 1 more for the sweep..................

[lazario]

The army thing in horror... so already been done. Romero did it 3 times and I had to force myself to get to eventually appreciate Dawn of the Dead. So, I'd like to vote against both movies. Just because.

[Evil Dave]

^^^^^^^^ Read the rules! You're NOT voting for the MOVIES!

[lazario]

You're right. I vote against both wolves. Same reason, naturally.

[Evil Dave]

That makes utterly no sense at all..................but ok.

[lazario]

That's me. No sense.

[Evil Dave]

In this case no, because you seem more interested in being uptight, combative, and negative. If you didn't want to vote, than say so. Or don't post anything and move on. By saying "I'd like to vote AGAINST........." is intentionally breathing negativity into the thread and whether you intend to or not, you're taking something that was meant to be fun for everyone and ruining it. It's petty, annoying, and impolite, and I think everyone's just about tired of it. I mean why are you here? To meet people with the same interests as you and have some fun doing so, or to consistently try to prove your superiority? Seriously, quit being so insecure and get over yourself............nobody's impressed. If all you wanna do is play killjoy, then stay the hell outta my threads and let the rest of us have some fun.

[lazario]

You're reading way too much into this. So I'll try to ignore your hot-air and just stick to the main point:

In this case, it just so happens that the movies' themes cannot be separated from the wolves. Because even the look of the wolves was used to try and enhance the army themes.

I hope that gets by without being misinterpreted.

[tsmooth31]

lemme just say this..laz you dont have to take these things so serious..i mean you can absolutly hate military movies but is it really hard to vote what picture you like better?? iknow when you first look at those pictures you have think one looks cooler..realize we are just trying to have fun here..this isnt some serious thing where the inner goes on and does anything..there are not many people signed up on this board and even much less who post..so every vote really counts..thats why i was trying to get you to pick a werewolf or a zombie for my contest..you were turniing it into some big serious deal when i know you gotta have a preference zombies or werewolves..even if i havent seen the movies you posted i still try to vote based on name or description because its not something serious just a fun little contest..you know what im saying??

[lazario]

Yes I do know what you're saying. But... I feel like I have to stick to my guns or else everything just goes heywire.

[Evil Dave]

Thanks for having my back T!

Now somebody who wants to let fun be fun get in here and vote so we can move on!

[maycanady]

Judging by the pics I'd say Dog Soldiers

[Evil Dave]

The Scottish-weres sack the were-Kane Hodder 3 - 0. Sorry Kane, better stick to hockey masks!
