Following a link on the sidebar of the video Nilan posted, I found this and now I'm obsessed with Genelia.

I choose Elbow- Grounds for Divorce.

I'm joining too. I'll be playing as Jimmy Olsen from Superman Returns. Name: Jimmy Olsen Powers: None Equipment: Cell Phone, windbreaker, Canon Powershot XS230 digital camera (fully charged) Note: To make sure he's not overpowered, Jimmy hasn't slept or eaten anything in 24 hours, and he is suffering from a severe carpal tunnel flareup, which prevents him from taking more than one picture every 10 seconds.

The person who posted this topic isn't looking for an acutal answer. The song was not the subject of the post, bashing Carrie Underwood was. If you want to actually discuss which film themes I don't personally care for, I'd be happy to. Are we talking about just plain bad theme songs (anything by Nickelback) or so bad it's actually totally awesome (anything by Kenny Loggins.) The James Bond franchise is notorious for its awul theme songs (not counting the classic John Barry arrangment of the Dr. No theme, of course.) Can we count Leona Lewis? Her contribution to the Avatar soundtrack was possibly the worst part of that film, but as far as I know that was her only attempt. Should we include Dazed and Confused, which was a passable movie but ruined several previously awesome songs by pushing them back into the zeitgeist, which led to their inclusion in car commericals and a string of terrible movie trailers? Where do you draw the line?

What is a Zantana?

All fanboy wankery aside, in CBUB matches Marios abilities should be assumed to be no greater or less than those he posesses in Super Smash Brothers (your favorite version,) as that is the closest thing to a version of the character you'll ever see that is balanced for combat. Any claims of bullet timing, FTL, planet busting strength, etc etc do not belong in a "respect" thread. Lying about a character to make him seem super invincible is not respecting the character. In fact, it is the exact opposite- because a list of overpowering feats says that the character isn't "good" enough to just be enjoyed on its own merit. The other major problem with the stupidity claimed here is that video games are designed for a person to acchieve certain objectives, and gameplay is evaluated on an elastic scale based on fun and degree of challenge, rather than any adherence to logic, continuity, or physics. Claiming absurd feats for Mario is no different than stating that Captain America is physically superior to Blackheart and Thanos, because you were able to beat those characters using Cap in a video game, or attributing FTL feats to everyone from Samus to Sora to Link for "dodging" enemy lasers. Not only are these kinds of threads stupid, they're an insult to the basic spirit and nature of the character in question. Mario is a beloved icon with dozens of fun, popular, innovative games to his credit. To try and pair him with The Hulk and The Flash is a horrible bastardization of the spirit of what Mario is.

Surprised nobody has powergamed with WoD Caine/Cain yet. Not that any vampire anywhere has a chance of beating him, but that seems like the kind of thing that would appeal to the CBUB crowd.
