Bugs: Recent Topics Paging, Uploading Images & Preview (11 Dec 2020)
Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.
This is part of a series of bloody matches to the death. Show support for your favorite game so it will do better in the fight. You can support it by writing why you think its the better game and more importantly by betting (i.e. voting for) it. Please make it clear for when I check the bets later. You have until Friday when I tally the bets and declare the winner. I will reserve my bet for any tie-breakers.
Although you should be familiar with both games, there is no rule that says you have to have played both of them. The only rule in Trashdome is this;
Two games enter! One game leaves!

It's not even close. I liked Star Wars and stuff but I have no intention to see it again. I saw Fury Road five times in theatres

TFA is fine for a Star Wars movie I suppose, but its main purpose is a nostalgia-delivery machine for 40 year olds. Fury Road actually tells a story and tells it well.

They're both kind of kids movies for adults - I prefer SWTFA because it has a bit morehumour and Rey is an excellent character.

Both are derivative films from the original work, both are good but not spellbinding by any sense of the imagination. Neither really has any depth to it. It's like choosing between a Panera and Chipotle. You can pick a winner, but who cares?
Chipotle by a mile. Ten bucks for a fucking turkey sandwich?? Fuck you, Panera.

Mad Max obliterates Star Wars 16-4.
My trust in the judgement of FATies is again confirmed to be well placed.

I loved Fury Road and have never seen another Mad Max movie. I can't imagine anyone giving a shit about TFA who wasn't flashing back to SW77. Don't "fix it for me".

That said, it has to be Fury Road. Rewatching it again this week, I am just amazed by it. It's kind of like the other Mad Max movies, but none of them are as insane or explosive. It's also thick with symbolism and really thought-provoking themes about feminism and what home actually means. And if you think that's full of crap, it's probably still the best action movie since Raiders of the Lost Ark. The Force Awakens is great, but Fury Road is an all-timer.
