So Mike and I have been having this very deep, profound discussion revolving our childhood heroes. Tim's Hero: Astro Boy; Mike's Hero: He-Man.
Ah, the nostalgia.
I'd like you to weigh in:
I propose that Astro Boy could kick He-Man's butt. Here is Astro's intro segment (you can view He-Man's intro on Mike's very cool new blog, "whatthefitz.blogspot.com".)
PS- Please feel free to continue the discussion on "Armor and Sword" or any other previous post.

What a Theme Song! And Oh those Boots! Yes definitely he would kick He-Mans butt. I mean think about it, flashlight eyes, rocket boots, lazer fingers, and he has a way better hair cut than He-Man.

This contest is completely unwarranted! At no point did I ever claim that He-Man could kick AstroBoy's butt! I even said that AstroBoy could win based on the fact that the theme song said, 'Stronger than all the rest...'!
Oh goodness, I just wanted to show a sweet He-Man intro and it turns into a contest...
Actually, I find it quite interesting to consider how we can figure this out conclusively based SOLELY on the following theme song excerpts:
"Stronger than all the rest..."
"The most powerful man in the universe..."
Both are pretty tall orders I would say. But which statement wins for better implying overall fighting ability? There's a lot to take into account here...
Oh, and by the way, there's no way a pretty-boy Alfalfa haircut is cooler than a rockin Kentucky Waterfall!
Haha I appreciate the new disclaimer! My sweet memories feel more safely protected!
He-Man all the way - he is SO much hotter.
Wow! What a great theological debate!
I'm all for Astroboy because I remember that show and I loved it as a kid. But does he really fart out a laserbeam in that intro? Because it certainly looked like it.
How is He-Man not cutting his hand open in that picture....oh, I know...because he's the most powerful man in the universe.
No, no, no, Lisa. The lazer beam comes out of his fingertips. It's a machine gun that comes out of his buttocks!
My point exactly, machine gun buttocks, how can He-man compete? Even after an entire bowl of beans he couldn't compete with that.

Okay, I have to admit I have no opinion on this matter, but I did want you to know that I'm checking (and quite enjoying) your blog. Keep them coming! By any chance are you a reader of Brian Mclaren? I started reading one of his books recently, and I see you share some of his viewpoints.
Can't wait to hear about that little baby Braun!!
I haven't read a lot of Mclaren but what I have I've quite enjoyed. I'd really like to read his "A Generous Orthodoxy" but have never got around to it.
PS - Astro Boy has 100,000 horsepwer packed into that little robot boy's body!
He-Man has fabulous powers....?
I guess every generation has its heroes. Now when I was a kid it was all about Mighty Mouse. I wonder why YouTube doesn't have a video of him...
I always like Animaniacs. Especially Pinky and the Brain.
I can't believe they would make a cartoon where a super powerful robot boy farts out bullets. Does anyone else think this is rather disturbing and is anyone else looking at this at work and trying hard not to laugh out loud? Because I'm trying but it's not working. I'm going to get tossed out soon for not getting any work done.
Mike if your reading this i'm sorry. I have to go with Astro Boy. the reason is that He man's mussels are to big and its kidna ugly haha. sorry. :)
