    Default Best debate in fiction

    What is the best debate in fiction? As a bonus what is the worst debate in fiction?

    I think the best recent debate I seen was Daredevil and Punisher in episode 3 of the Daredevil season 2. The supposed debate between the ideologies of Batman and Superman in the Batman vs. Superman movie is really stupid.

    I was always partial to Spike and Angel getting in a philosophical screaming match over Cavemen vs. Astronauts.

    Nothing tops Crimson Tide's "heated debate" between the two seamen over who's version of the Silver Surfer was better:

    The Cap vs SHIELD/Nick Fury preparation vs fear argument really struck me as interesting. Especially in post 9/11 america.

    That was really good. When you think about it, it was just the current equivalent of the kinds of arguments that used to take place in comics in the 1960's, the only difference being that they were not making philosophical statements while in the middle of throwing punches. Plus in the 60's, it would have been a hero versus villain debate, not a hero and a questionable hero.
    Power with Girl is better.

    The greatest debate is

    book v. movie v. play v. Videogame v. real-life


    There is also musical v. movie

    Fact v. Fiction is also another standard


    Another debate is who invented what and when it was shown in fiction for the first time and if that person was inspired to invent that product via fiction as it's inspiration.

    I think you've completely missed the point of the thread.
