View Full Version : Season 3 of Deadliest Warrior
The Deadliest Warrior
January 23rd, 2011, 05:25 PM
Just by looking at my Username and Avatar, you can guess what TV show I am a fan of. Deadliest Warrior is well into the production of its third season, and I don't know if many other people have been following it after the end of Season 2 with Navy SEAL vs. Israeli Commando.
They've revealed one matchup to be Genghis Khan (the notorious Mongolian leader) vs. Hannibal (not Lechter but Hannibal Barca, the Carthaginian who fought the Romans with war elephants), and they've also revealed one warrior to be Chief Crazy Horse. They've also told that the first female warrior on the show will be Joan of Arc, but they haven't told either of the two latter warriors' opponents.
What do you think of Season 3 so far? Predictions on Genghis Khan vs. Hannibal? And who will fight Crazy Horse and Joan of Arc?

Looks like some interesting matchups. I LOVED the Season 2 finale with the Navy SEALS (who I predicted to win) and the Commandos. I would say Genghis Khan for that matchup because I'm assuming Hannibal will not be on an elephant. I think to fight Crazy Horse they might throw in a colonial American hero such as George Washington. Someone from that time period, not him specifically.

I actually have to give it to Hannibal myself because here (http://www.spike.com/photos/deadliest-warrior/40307/st/75821) they have a picture of a gel torso after they had an elephant go crazy on it.
Probably they'll have Boudica, the woman-warrior who fought the Romans, go up against Joan of Arc. I'm not quite sure who'll fight Crazy Horse, but here's (http://www.spike.com/video/weapons-in-action/3496608) a preview of one of his weapons.
I hope they focus more on the scientific side of the tests (like Season 1_ rather than the bloodiness and the gore of the re-enactments (like eason 2).
A mix of the two would be nice.

Oh my goodness. That is just horrible. If he is on an elephant, then Hannibal all the way.

However, Genghis' archery skills come to question, but I doubt it will be enough to defeat an elephant...
It would be really cool if they did Delta Force vs. the French Foreign Legion... but Delta Force would win all the way! :D

A new episode has just been revealed and I'm beginning to have slight doubts about it ...
Zombie vs. Vampire? (http://www.spike.com/articles/kl83j9/deadliest-warrior-the-ultimate-deadliest-warrior-matchup) Is that a joke? Sure, I'm always excited to see a new DW episode announced but this is a bit... odd. Still excited and rootin' for the Vampires (they'll prove that Twilight has got nothin' on them :razz:) and can't wait for Season 3 to come out!
What are your thoughts/predictions?
BassistofDoom
March 9th, 2011, 08:36 PM
? Um... Ok. Vampires will almost surely win but I personally like Zombies better. Kind of a strange idea though but I'm looking forward to seeing the Gurkha in action.

I think Ghengis Khan will beat Hannibal, Hannibal was well known for his military expertise, not his fighting skills, and Khan also has more modern weaponry (The recurve bow and steel weapons for example). And if Hannibal gets his elephant, than the khan gets his horse and he will then be unbeatable.
Definitely Vampires over Zombies also.
I would also love to see the Persian Immortals, although, in real life, they were nowhere near as awesome as they were in 300

I'm pretty pumped for the Vampires vs. Zombies episode. Definitely rooting for the zombies. It's sci-fi, end-of-the-world, infected monsters going against teeny-bopper heart-throbs. The vampires will no doubt be given a much cooler image than they've been getting recently, but I'm still going for the zombies.

Thank you for introducing this series to me! It's like the greatest I have seen in recent times. (Fringe aside)
Really looking forward to all the epic battles, and maybe the back for blood special where all the top play royal rumble.
P.S: It's gonna be a one-sided battle between zombie and vampire since the vampire is the ultimate human hunter, but his powers such as hypnotize and blood sucking do not work against the zombie.

I have to disagree. The zombie has no set goal and no intelligence. It's just a kill and hack monster who eats only to survive. The vampires not only possess intelligence but also kill for revenge, cruelty, et cetera. They wouldn't try to hypnotize a zombie but they could turn into a wolf or bat and tear him apart. If things get ugly they could shift into their green mist shape.
All in all, I think the zombie's lack of intelligence and the vampire's excess intelligence will seal the deal here.

William the Conqeror vs. Joan of Arc
Saddam Hussein vs. Pol Pot :wtf:

BassistofDoom
June 14th, 2011, 04:32 PM
George Washington vs. Napoleon Bonaparte
Gotta go with George here. Both were great leaders, but I think Washington would do better in a fight.
French Foreign Legion vs. Gurkhas
Gurkhas all the way. Gurkha war stories have to be some of the craziest I have heard. They are the stuff of legend, and some of the only people that are truly terrifying for the Taliban.
Pancho Villa vs. Crazy Horse
I don't know much about either, so I'll just guess Crazy Horse.
Vampires vs. Zombies
Vampires. I like zombies a lot more, but one on one a vampire would be way too powerful.
Genghis Khan vs. Hannibal
Genghis Khan. He was brutal, savage, fearless, and a military genius. Hannibal rode an elephant.
William the Conqeror vs. Joan of Arc
I'll go with William the Conqueror, despite the fact that he was defeated by his own horse. (http://penelope.uchicago.edu/~grout/encyclopaedia_romana/britannia/anglo-saxon/hastings/williamdeath.html)
Saddam Hussein vs. Pol Pot
I'll take Saddam because I don't think Pol Pot was that much of an up close fighter.
US Army Rangers vs. North Korean Spec. Ops
Obviously the good ole Army Rangers.
Lawrence of Arabia vs. Teddy Roosevelt
Teddy Roosevelt could single handedly take on everyone on this list and have a good chance of survival. Plus he rode a moose across a river.
Hernan Cortes vs. Ivan the Terrible
Ivan the Terrible. Friends don't let friends attack Russians.
US Delta Force vs. *unconfirmed*
Delta Force. I don't need to hear who they are facing.
You heard it here first folks! My brothers and I like to predict the winner of these and so far I'm 17-5. Of course, my final prediction doesn't come until right before the battle.
The Deadliest Warrior
June 14th, 2011, 04:46 PM
George Washington vs. Napoleon Bonaparte
Gotta go with George here. Both were great leaders, but I think Washington would do better in a fight.
I'm going to go with Napoleon. I bet, with both teams having firearms, that this will be a squad-on-squad battle, and Napoleon's men are better equipped, fed, and trained. Heck, Washington's guys didn't even have shoes.
French Foreign Legion vs. Gurkhas
Gurkhas all the way. Gurkha war stories have to be some of the craziest I have heard. They are the stuff of legend, and some of the only people that are truly terrifying for the Taliban.
Agreed. Also, they have one heck of an awesome knife known as a kurki.
Pancho Villa vs. Crazy Horse
I don't know much about either, so I'll just guess Crazy Horse.
Chief Crazy Horse was a prominent Native American general who resisted US expansions and even took part in the Battle of Little Bighorn that massacred General Custer's forces.
Pancho Villa was a Mexican revolutionary who had violent raids on government forces and even attacked a southwestern US town.
I'm giving my money to Pancho because once Native Americans try to use guns, they don't stand a chance. Guns are what forced them from their home, and it's not their weapon of choice. Once Crazy Horse goes up against a gun, he's going home in a casket.
Vampires vs. Zombies
Vampires. I like zombies a lot more, but one on one a vampire would be way too powerful.
Agreed. Zombies are too dumb. Even in a 5 v. 5 battle, the vampires's intelligence will catapault them to victory.
Genghis Khan vs. Hannibal
Genghis Khan. He was brutal, savage, fearless, and a military genius. Hannibal rode an elephant.
HANNIBAL RODE AN ELEPHANT! Exactly! Horses are scared to death of elephants and I'd like to see the Khan try to pull of his fancy manuevers when his horse is crapping his pants about Hannibal's elephant. Those war elephants were fearsome and that alone will get Hannibal the winning edge.
William the Conqeror vs. Joan of Arc
I'll go with William the Conqueror, despite the fact that he was defeated by his own horse. (http://penelope.uchicago.edu/~grout/encyclopaedia_romana/britannia/anglo-saxon/hastings/williamdeath.html)
William's death was an accident - but I agree, he'll take this. Joan is only 17 and William is in his 40's. Joan is a peasant and William is nobility. William is bigger, stronger, better funded and truly trained in war and tactics. Joan may have inspired the French to victory but William drove his war machine right through Harold's balls. :wink:
Saddam Hussein vs. Pol Pot
I'll take Saddam because I don't think Pol Pot was that much of an up close fighter.
Not ever going to root for Saddam Hussein. He's a coward who surrendered as soon as he was found. Pol Pot at least could fight to protect his name and he wasn't executed, either.
US Army Rangers vs. North Korean Spec. Ops
Obviously the good ole Army Rangers.
Same! :D Go USA!
Lawrence of Arabia vs. Teddy Roosevelt
Teddy Roosevelt could single handedly take on everyone on this list and have a good chance of survival. Plus he rode a moose across a river.
I'm going to say Lawrence of Arabia here. He's from WWI so I bet he has more technology and he has fought in pitched battles, just like Teddy, so with equal experience but better tech Lawrence'll win. Think of him as WWI's Indiana Jones.
Hernan Cortes vs. Ivan the Terrible
Ivan the Terrible. Friends don't let friends attack Russians.
Hernan Cortes. Hispanics don't let friends attack Hispanics. :wink: But I really am Hispanic.
US Delta Force vs. *unconfirmed*
Delta Force. I don't need to hear who they are facing.
Even if it's the SAS, I gotta agree! US Delta Force is beast!

If Genghis Khan vs Hannibal starts with both of them mounted then I may switch to Hannibal.
You're right about Napoleon though; George was working with farmers, not soldiers.
Teddy Roosevelt was amazing though; I would much rather face Lawrence then him.
Honestly though I don't get the Pol Pot vs Saddam Hussein thing though because they were both murderers and terrible people; I'm confused about why Deadliest Warrior would have that matchup. Neither of them were really fighters anyway.

Yeah - they did have Taliban vs. I.R.A. and Medellin Cartel vs. Somali Pirates in the past but at least those guys technically have fought battles. Pot and Hussein just order massacres.

Gee, that guy really hates Deadliest Warrrior :lol:. My brothers and I find Deadliest Warrior entertaining, but by no means educational (the most you really learn from that show is what a sword does to a pig). We are all into history so we know a lot about each warrior already but also ever since I heard one of the "ninjas" was actually an actor. I also think it is ridiculous that they would have an episode with Saddam Hussein and Pol Pot considering both were very evil men and neither was a frontlines warrior or real fighter at all and it seems like they just use the episode to generate controversy and media attention for the show.
All in all, lots of what was mentioned in the article I've been aware of already, but I still watch the show because I think it can be pretty entertaining and my brothers and I try to predict who will win. (But honestly, how does a Persian Immortal beat a Celt?)

Heck, I'll comment!
George Washington vs. Napoleon Bonaparte
Gotta go with George here. Both were great leaders, but I think Washington would do better in a fight.
I'm going to go with Napoleon. I bet, with both teams having firearms, that this will be a squad-on-squad battle, and Napoleon's men are better equipped, fed, and trained. Heck, Washington's guys didn't even have shoes.
There is considerable debate as to how good of a general Washington was. There is documented evidence of him not being too keen strategically in the French-Indian War. Washington was a great leader (notice I didn't say general) because of his great tenacity, fearlessness, and quite a bit of luck. I'm pretty sure Napolean could out-general Washington though.
Vampires vs. Zombies
Vampires. I like zombies a lot more, but one on one a vampire would be way too powerful.
Agreed. Zombies are too dumb. Even in a 5 v. 5 battle, the vampires's intelligence will catapault them to victory.
Well, ummm, I guess it depends on interpretation? Since I have no verifiable or even debatable evidence either way, I can't really comment.
Genghis Khan vs. Hannibal
Genghis Khan. He was brutal, savage, fearless, and a military genius. Hannibal rode an elephant.
HANNIBAL RODE AN ELEPHANT! Exactly! Horses are scared to death of elephants and I'd like to see the Khan try to pull of his fancy manuevers when his horse is crapping his pants about Hannibal's elephant. Those war elephants were fearsome and that alone will get Hannibal the winning edge.
Yes, but the Kahn's troops were masters of horseback archery, especially while (apparently) retreating. Hit + run tactics will take out elephants every time, because when elephants get wounded, they were well documented to lose their $#!&. That's why most successful generals stopped using them.
Saddam Hussein vs. Pol Pot
I'll take Saddam because I don't think Pol Pot was that much of an up close fighter.
Not ever going to root for Saddam Hussein. He's a coward who surrendered as soon as he was found. Pol Pot at least could fight to protect his name and he wasn't executed, either.
Pol Pot if we're talking army tactics, Saddam in a mano-a-mano fight.
Lawrence of Arabia vs. Teddy Roosevelt
Teddy Roosevelt could single handedly take on everyone on this list and have a good chance of survival. Plus he rode a moose across a river.
I'm going to say Lawrence of Arabia here. He's from WWI so I bet he has more technology and he has fought in pitched battles, just like Teddy, so with equal experience but better tech Lawrence'll win. Think of him as WWI's Indiana Jones.
Umm... Teddy was there for most (if not all) of WWI as well, I believe. We're talking about men whose primes were twenty, maybe thirty years apart. Not too much technology changes, really. Besides, Lawrence was more a master of tactics than technology.
I would agree that Lawrence would win a battle over Teddy, but if we're talking a fight between the two of them, I've gotta give this one to Teddy with his black belt in Karate and years of boxing experience (plus his well-documented stamina in the face of injury, hardship, and sickness).
US Delta Force vs. *unconfirmed*
Delta Force. I don't need to hear who they are facing.
Even if it's the SAS, I gotta agree! US Delta Force is beast!
Unless their helicopters break down. Then everything tends to go badly. ;)

Those were hilarious! I watched a bunch of the first season, it was entertaining. But a lot of the "tests" were just too dumb, and all the trash talk was too freaking annoying.
And hey, there's doubts that ninja ever even existed, so it can't really be historically accurate at all. And of course a pirate will beat a knight, knights became obsolete because of guns. Without even reading the articles, you can use common sense to show how stupid the show is!!
But they were great reads! I wanna get that Rome game and do my own Deadliest Warrior, haha!

Its a silly show, but it is fun to watch. Once you watch battles of Mafia vs Yakuza and Vlad the Impaler vs Sun Tzu, its hard to take it seriously. Of course, this is on a forum from a game that puts together dragons, samurai, mythological creatures, kyrie, vipers, intelligent gorillas, aliens, elementals, soulborgs, agents from the future...

I for one am really excited for this season. My friends and I love to argue over the results even if it has little to no educational value.
That said, they probably do quite a lot more testing than they let on. In a season one episode they say "after 3 days of solid testing" indicating that it's much more in depth than they show. I'm sure they just air the highlights because that's what viewers really want to see.

I enjoy the show just for its pure entertainment value. The one thing I noticed however, was that for almost every episode (there are some exceptions) the edges are tied, it doesn't matter which is better, but it keeps the mystery as to who will win. Sometimes the tests, I think, are altered to give the edge to a certain group. My biggest example is when they tested the grenades for Green Berets versus Spetsnaz. The Green Berets' just had to kill three people that were right next to the grenade, while the Spetsnaz' blew up an entire washing machine but failed to kill people several yards away.
Just a few complaints, but I find it entertaining so I am definitely watching the new season.

I forget where I read it, but apparently testing takes more than the couple minutes you see on TV. I heard it is actually a day long endeavor.

I thought this episode was going to be horrible at first, but I actually liked the way they approached it.

I thought the vampire/zombie one was pretty unique. I liked it a lot.

You didn't say anything!! Don't skirt the issue!! ;)
To bring in Max Brook of "World War Z," which is beng made into a movie, and the gentleman that wrote "30 days of night" was just brilliant in my opinion.
