Leonidas vs. Maximus
15:30:01 Jun 5th 07 - Mr. Roxbury:

King Leonidas vs. General Maximus. Who would win?!


16:13:28 Jun 5th 07 - Mr. Iwasfrozen:

king leonidas

duh


16:16:50 Jun 5th 07 - Mr. Roxbury:













16:53:56 Jun 5th 07 - Mr. Iwasfrozen:

no wait maximus

is pics are cooler!!


18:01:00 Jun 5th 07 - Mr. Durza:

Maximus would win but they are both *beep*ing tanks!


18:12:46 Jun 5th 07 - Mr. Basch:

lol they were an even match. maximus just happened to be the last man standing but he ended up bleeding to death though


18:32:05 Jun 5th 07 - Mr. Durza:

Lol he's very good at that bleeding to death shinanigans


18:35:01 Jun 5th 07 - Duke Erunion Telcontar:

I agree with Basch. Maximus would win, but would die from his wounds, in a dramatic way.


18:36:26 Jun 5th 07 - Mr. Haywood Jablowme:

well, Maximus won an oscar.  I dont think Leonidas did :P


18:54:47 Jun 5th 07 - Mr. Basch:

oh crap i didnt relise who leonidas was at first cause the first 3 pictures didnt show up but still i think they would be an even match one on one (only because a gladiator always fights better one on one) but if they were in a formation then leonidas would be a lot better than maximus


18:58:51 Jun 5th 07 - Duke Erunion Telcontar:

*Stares at Basch*

In command of an army, Maximus would win. He was a brilliant fighter and planner, his men loved him, he could think on his feet, and was one of the best generals of all time. How can this Spartan top that, eh?


19:00:27 Jun 5th 07 - Mr. Basch:

lol have you watched 300?


21:56:35 Jun 5th 07 - Mr. Iwasfrozen:

no way maximus is way better


22:00:10 Jun 5th 07 - Mr. Brannigans Law:

yeah, maximus can only think sitting down...

omg, russel crowe is a *beep*, blatently wouldnt win!

Leonidis has a scary voice too, scared me shltless!


23:53:02 Jun 5th 07 - Duke Erunion Telcontar:

300 three-shmundred!

Well, maybe I should watch the movie before pronouncing judgement, but from what I've seen of Maximus, it'd take a fair bit to top his martial prowess, albeit, Leonidis might be able to kill him hand-to-hand.

By the way, you watched Gladiator?


00:03:53 Jun 6th 07 - Mr. Evan:

i watched both :) but i have absolutely no clue..one guy bled to death..one guy stood there with arrows in him till like...2 million more showered on him..one guy won...one guy lost..but very dramatically and for a good cause..one spartan..one roman..both led troops...one was general..one was a king..

i think..one on one since the maximus guy was a gladiator prolly culd win..and but with armies behind them (or next to them..w,e) i think leonidas cuz they had that whole shield thing going on (if u watched it u know wut im talking about,if not guess)


13:39:49 Jun 6th 07 - Mr. Jetleeomg:

I've seen both movies and would go with Maximus. Leonidas was born in to the role of king whereas Maximus rose through the ranks to become general of the Roman armies - conquering Germania and all that. Leonidas was a greek so was probably in to buttsex and all that.


14:13:21 Jun 6th 07 - Mr. Goldsie:

Maximus + Leonidas = Epic battle + Dead Leonidas

Maximus owns... watch gladiator, u will see.

Oh and Maximus got the shield thing going as well, turtle formation thing... remember!

Oh and Maximus rode a horse and his army had catapults so he'd win no matter what!!!


14:18:31 Jun 6th 07 - Mr. Brannigans Law:

I think gladiator would be intimidated by leonidis, hes fecking massive, just look at that picture! I knowing i would be cacking it!

Gladiator looks like a little girl compared to leonidis!

 


14:31:42 Jun 6th 07 - Mr. Fireforge:

i doubt maximus would be intimidated by his size, lets not forget he had to fight titanus of gaul with a bunch of tigers surrounding him.

on a historical note tho spartans were known as the best warriors there were. i dont think any others compared with their skill, could be wrong but thats how i remember my history


14:40:36 Jun 6th 07 - Mr. Goldsie:

thats more Greek legends then anything else


15:08:45 Jun 6th 07 - Mr. Fireforge:

well, my knowledge of greek history isnt great but i know the romans had advantage over most of their enemies by organization, as mostly their victories were against chaotic armies of 'barbarians'. also i think the spartans were responsible for beating back the egyptians during the first invasion. and while the 300 movie far exagerates what they faced at the end, im pretty sure they killed the persians at a large ratio vs quite overwhelming odds, i could be wrong but i think the only army that can compare are the templar knights of the crusades, who untill a disasterous mistake by a hotheaded general killed them all


15:11:27 Jun 6th 07 - Mr. Iwasfrozen:

did you ever see the movie sparatus

Sparatus was the origanal and the best ^_^


17:40:11 Jun 6th 07 - Mr. Basch:

in a formation leonidas would win cause the 300's first fight was won so easily it was something like 300 vs 5000 and not one of the 300 was killed. also i love the way those guys liked buildings walls :D it was funny as hell lol


17:47:57 Jun 6th 07 - Mr. Dovydas:

no you guys should watch Last Stand of 300 documentary and then decide who is better. That battle was the best ever in wolrds history.


19:34:17 Jun 6th 07 - Duke Erunion Telcontar:

Spartans were excellent warriors, for that was their entire life. They grew up in a completely harsh militaristic society, where wimps were executed, just for being wimps, kids went to military school instead of regular school, and were half-starved to encourage them to use their wits and steal from the main barrack's mess-hall. Penelties for being caught were harsh. Other than a few snippits elsewhere, I don't know of much else concerning Sparta, but what I do know is fact, believe it or not.

I'm not sure who would win 1 on 1, but I believe that Maximus would win if the two of them had exactly equal armies, he earned his generalship, and his men would fight harder for him, for they loved him.

Take a Medieval II setting, Maximus, Maximum command and chivalry= Troops fight harder than they thought they could, and refuse to rout. Leonidas, from what I know, would have lower chivalry and command, his troops not fighting quite as hard and routing more easily, also getting out manouevered. Maximus wins.

One more thing, you must remember that 300 is a legend based on a true story, while Gladiator is a Realistic Fictional Epic based on a true time period. This means that Gladiator will be more realistic, usually.

BTW, How are the Persian Immortals portrayed?


19:46:41 Jun 6th 07 - Mr. Santa Claus The Battle Mage:

You all are thinking wrong. Maximus would win, and for one reason and one reason only. He was a Roman! Romans fight alone in battles. Spartans however always fight in hopliteformation in a large group. That is how Leonidas would be used to fight, in a group. Maximus is used to fight alone. Clearly a huge advantage for Maximus. Leonidas looses his head :D

 

ow, and one more thing, I found a nice movie. For people who dont want to see any material in context with the World Trade Center attacks. Dont watch.

19:52:01 Jun 6th 07 - Dark Lord Osiris:

Romans fight alone in battles <--- since when?


19:57:24 Jun 6th 07 - Duke Erunion Telcontar:

I thought they used brilliant planning and organization of large troops advancing in clever formations, but, I could be wrong. Maximus's only advantage is that he spent a year or two in the gladiator arena, and was the best.


20:33:58 Jun 6th 07 - Dark Lord Osiris:

maximus has in his favour military training higher quality weapons and armour.

Leonidas has in a brutal life long training for battle. expertise in sword and spear.

tough to choose :)


20:36:34 Jun 6th 07 - Lord Senturu:

thats right osi. so the winner is....ME!

you dont know much bout the romans do you? if they werent in a formation they would be useless fighters almost as bad as an untrained peasant.


21:54:02 Jun 6th 07 - Mr. Iwasfrozen:

look heres the truth:

Spartacus would beat Maximus and Leonidas hands down

he was the origanal and the best


21:55:41 Jun 6th 07 - Lord Arzun:

300 and  Gladiator are my two favorite movies by far. And in the end, it would be some death for both of them. It would end up like they both stab each other at the same time and die right there.


21:58:08 Jun 6th 07 - Mr. Basch:

hey frozen have you even seen 300 or that other movie that maximus is in? spartacus would get killed by leonidas. leonidas would be able to kill even achillies.


22:08:46 Jun 6th 07 - Mr. Iwasfrozen:

no way Spatacus took on the whole Roman Empire

and nearly won!!!!

Spartacus caommanded millions of slaves

300 highley trained worriers V's millions of slaves

spartans may be better trained but they are massivily out numbered

one on one Spartacus would also win

 


22:14:12 Jun 6th 07 - Mr. Dos The Caked:

I think we're talking about more of a 1on1 here? If you talk about armies, those 300 soldiers weren't the spartan army. You could argue that he would only have had 300 soldiers or he wouldn't or blah blah blah!

Let's just stick with the good old 1on1 ok? In which case it's Maximus or Leonidas. Although I'm sure your slave is very nice :)


22:52:31 Jun 6th 07 - Mr. Basch:

just go watch 300 frozen and you'll change your mind bout what you think very quickly :) ive seen the movie your talking about and spatacus wouldnt last 30 secs against leonidas


22:57:33 Jun 6th 07 - Dark Lord Osiris:

right that move is soooo realistic :)


02:36:44 Jun 7th 07 - Mr. Evan:

haha..yea ill admit that movie was really "edited" for the purpose of making a kikass movie..

i also saw the thing of the battle on the national geographic channel which is a bit more realistic :-P

spartan warriors were highly trained soldiers and lived thier life entirely for battle so they wuld fight just as hard if not harder to win...

i still go maximus 1v1 but leonidas with armies

 


04:41:53 Jun 7th 07 - Mr. Jetleeomg:

William Wallace!


08:19:47 Jun 7th 07 - Lord Senturu:

Chuck Norris. booyaa


08:24:48 Jun 7th 07 - Mr. Haywood Jablowme:

Kratos would pawn both leonidas and maximus


15:44:21 Jun 7th 07 - Sir Verteccio:

My daddy is stronger than your daddy!

And my cat can beat up your cat!



15:56:09 Jun 7th 07 - Mr. Basch:

my mummy is stronger than both your daddy and your mummy put together lol


16:20:57 Jun 7th 07 - Sir Verteccio:

Yeah well my big brudder is bigger than yours!


02:30:15 Jun 8th 07 - Duke Erunion Telcontar:

My big brudder is smarter, tougher, faster, and stronger than yours. However, yours has 15% higher body fat, so... Yours is bigger.

My dog beat up your cat, your daddy and your mummy, at the same time. Then he yelped and ran under the table to preserve his secret identity as a scaredy-dog.


07:55:41 Jun 9th 07 - Mr. Basch:

dude i got 9 pig hunting dogs that just go sick whenever something happens especialy when we take em out to the bush


14:09:54 Jun 9th 07 - Mr. Draven The Naked:

i think it would be a tie, i liked both movies.


14:21:56 Jun 9th 07 - Sir Vencrow:

Maximus for sure..

He had s3x before his final battle..
