Hook vs Sparrow

Hook Vs Sparrow

Hook for Me Mates....What say you?

[Capn_Enigma]

Captain Thomas Bartholomew Red!

[Hester]

Hook got beat by Peter Pan! I'd say Jack Sparrow could take him too.

[Miss Rosy Palm]

I'd root for Hook. We single-handed people have to stick together.

[Iron Bess]

Well, I think Jack would really win because he'd just run off.

[Black Hearted Pearl]

So you're saying "He that runeth away, will live to see another day"?

[Iron Bess]

According to the Gospel of *The Great Race* it is...

*He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day. So, until another day Mr. Leslie!*

[Black Hearted Pearl]

I knew I had heard this somewhere before.

[Red-Handed Jill]

PUSH THE BUTTON, MAX!

[Captain Midnight]

Although I think Hook is arse-kicking, my vote will have to definitely go with Jack Sparrow...

[Iron Bess]

PUSH THE BUTTON, MAX!

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!

LORD I love that movie!!

[Caraccioli]

I choose the fictional pirate...he doesn't have to abide by the rules.

Actually, Hook is a cartoon and we know from the Disney documentary, Who Framed Roger Rabbit? that 'toons can't be killed by swords and safes and whatnot. So Hook would almost definitely win. (Now Hook vs. Barbossa from the first movie...it'd be a draw.)

[Captain Jim]

I choose the fictional pirate...he doesn't have to abide by the rules.

They're both fictional Pyrates, mate. Perhaps you need a breather from all those POTC movies; its beginning to affect your grasp of reality...

Hook has a tendency to gloat before the final blow, so Sparrow wins as he always waits for the opportune moment.

By the way, how did Hook escape the crocodile?

[LongTom]

Does Sparrow get to palm the Aztec coin for this encounter?

On the other hand (wait, with Hook there is no other hand), I was going to say, it's a bit cramped to maneuver a cutlass inside a croc.

Well, it was sort of a wry joke. Too subtle?

I'm having a thought - If you don't choose the cartoon version of Hook, my analysis will be flawed. In this case, Sparrow will win because he is the indomitable movie hero (or, perhaps, anti-hero would be a better description) and Hook the villain and Hollywood rules are usually quite firm on this point. Of course, in the POTC movies, it has been shown that Sparrow can indeed die, but only to be retrieved from death so he can somehow be involved in the undoing of the dastardly deed doer what offed him. So Sparrow could lose, but only if he came back and triumphed (after a fashion). In which case, Sparrow would ultimately win.

Sparrow every time, unless it's the cartoon Hook.

"Truly, you have a dizzying intellect."

"Wait til I get going! Now, where was I?"

"Australia."

"Yes, Australia."

[Captain Jim]

I got it, just moving the joke along a bit. Hmmm...I better be carefull of a pyrate with Iocaine powder...

[Rumba Rue]

Sparrow is my choice. Let's face it, this guy can make it up as he goes along.

[Patrick Hand]

I'd still vote for Hook.....

He's a classic.....

Not some Johnny Depp come lately......

"I never lie.... the truth is always much more fun......"

[BriarRose Kildare]

Oooh, now that be a hard one to choose....Captain Sparrow of course is sauve and debonair, but Captain Hook, well now, he is a true villian. And with out Hook there would be no Peter Pan or Neverland. So I would honestly have to choose Captain Hook. But then again....Mr. Depp makes a mighty fine pirate.

[Patrick Hand]

And Captain Hook dosen't wear eyeliner........

What real Pyrate wears eyeliner ?

[Capn_Enigma]

Captain Sparrow of course is sauve and debonair, ..

Savvy and a deboner! My sentiments exactly!

[Hester]

Oh, he's savvy all right. And let's hear it for de boner!

[Caraccioli]

What real Pyrate wears eyeliner ?

FWIW, I read somewhere that that is not supposed to be eyeliner, but blacking around the eyes which is worn because of the sun. (Which, the same source said, was actually used by pirates and sailors in that era. I can't verify that one, though.)

[Hester]

Or it could just be accumulated grime. I don't think Sparrow bathes very often.

[Christine]

Sorry, Captain Hook came first, way before Jack. He's part of the reason why I had an interest in pirates as a little kid. Favorite Hook tho is Jason Isaacs from the recent Peter Pan movie. *fans self* Dear Goddess, that is one very yummy man!
