Fight Club – Round 2

I was watching ‘Chasing Amy’ last weekend. If you haven’t seen it, it is a good film. The two main characters have created a comic book and in one scene they describe the target audience…if you have seen the film this next installment will satisfy a similar taget audience…

If ‘Wonder Woman’ and the ‘Six Million Dollar Woman’ had a fight, who would win??
Let’s analyse the combatants… (Note – for all you trainspotters I am referring to the campy TV versions)

Wonder Woman

Strengths:

• Wrist Bans that can deflect bullets
• Tiara can be used like a boomerang
• Has a golden lasso of truth
• Has an invisible jet plane
• Looks great in figure hugging outfit and red leather boots

Weaknesses:

• Susceptible to normal human injuries – to quote Arnie (Dutch) from Predator ‘If it bleeds, we can kill it’
• Compassion
Six Million Dollar Woman

Strengths:

• Bionic body parts never get tired
• Can run fast
• Has super strength
• Has good eyesight
• Super hearing
• 1980’s Farrah Fawcett style hairdo

Weaknesses:

• Bionic parts can be effected by electric currents
• Married Lee Majors

To the victor go the spoils…so who would win? For me it would be the ‘Six Million Dollar Woman’. Why? Well, without the invisible jet, wrist bands and the lasso of truth Wonder Woman is a bit of a three trick pony.
I cannot forget how many times Wonder Woman simply had to fly somewhere deflect a couple of bullets, get out the golden lasso and hey presto crisis over.

The Six Million Dollar Woman however had a veritable arsenal of abilities, and if the going got really tough she could always call in the Six Million Dollar man for help. (If they had kids would they be worth $12 million? Would they still get the $4000.00 baby bonus?)
