Scrooge is better because he's greedy? wtf?

 

[Scarim Coral]

Ha I was expected Tony Stark so Scrooge McDuck had caught me off guard.

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

No Lex Luthor?

 

[pandasaw]

Tony Stark could win this argument in a cave with a box of scraps.

 

[Shadowstar38]

Theres your topic for next week. Who's better between Launchpad and Alfred.

Also, Bruce wayne never went to the moon, therefore lame.

 

[Proverbial Jon]

But... but... but... Tony Stark?

How does Scrooge McDuck even count?

 

[RadiusXd]

Remember the good old days when Bruce Wayne could be batman while only being a millionaire?

 

[antipope]

Are you sure Bruce Wayne has never gone to the moon there are a lot of insane batman books out there?

Pretty weak quote of the week there... and there isn't really much contest going on here, the crux of the pro-scrooge argument is pretty much that he is the caricature of the selfish rich guy that's so damn tired.

Having Bruce use the money constructively instead of stockpiling it or squandering it on trips to the moon for example makes him a far better person.

 

[antipope]

Actually he is a racist caricature of a Scotsmen more then he is of just a general rich guy.

 

[Redem]

A better question would have been which one better for the economy

 

[Souplex]

You're both wrong.
The correct answer is Tony Stark!

 

[Blindswordmaster]

Ever watch Justice League? Batman had a spaced station built for their home base. Complete with artificial gravity, shuttles, teleporters, and a giant fucking laser cannon. Even Superman had to ask,"How much money do you have?!" After Batman piloted said space station into the planet to stop an alien invasion, he just replaced it. With 12 more. 12 MORE!

Richie Rich was robbed. Bruce Wayne's charity with Scrooge's ostentation. Plus his middle name is $, how does that not win everything immediately?

WHY IS THIS SHOW SO GOOD?

It doesn't even make any sense!

Maybe for next week's debate, you guys can do the most unappreciated sidekick. I mean, I think everyone would want to know who's very unappreciated. I say Scrappy Doo from the Scooby Doo series gets most unappreciated. He saved the series and yet they cast him aside like he was nothing.

Wait, what? Scrappy Doo saved the series? Scrappy Doo? The sidekick whose name is synonymous with "character everyone hates [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheScrappy]"? You're saying he saved the series?

I may have just lost faith in humanity.

(Now, he was really unappreciated, not arguing against that, but it's not like he was underappreciated; he was appreciated just as much as he deserved, which was not at all. The notion that he somehow "saved" the series is what has currently boggled my mind.)

I have no other comments today except for, "You guys are awesome, keep up the good work."
