Take a look at all the picks above and ask yourself if your team could take mine in a street fight The answer is No. My guy has a chainsaw for hand. |

My guy has a chainsaw for hand. Ah!
But you see - you chose Bruce Campbell - not Ash
If we're going this root - I'll start picking Jason, Michael, Freddy and Pinhead

There isn't really a limit, I thought we'd just keep going as long as we wanted to. If you're content with your roster, you can just stop drafting actors and still continue the conversation. We can put it to the board and see if they want to limit picks after a certain amount of time, and devote the conversation purely to debate about whose roster is superior. There was never an endgame in my mind, just a fun exercise to put a team of action heroes together. We can limit it to baseball roster size or football roster size, or keep it going with no limits, maybe I'll post that question tomorrow. Ok then, my last pick of the day, I’ll go old school school man’s man and take Charles Bronson. So I’ve got: Arnold Schwarzenegger Wesley Snipes Keanu Reeves Uma Thurman Chow Yun Fat Sonny Landham Angelina Jolie Charles Bronson This is a great bunch here. Varied skills of all sorts. When all else fails, Sonny Landham can just get bombed and fight everyone.

If we're going this root - I'll start picking Jason, Michael, Freddy and Pinhead And you chose mostly guys that pretend to fight. I don't see that as much of an advantage over other guys that pretend to fight. You also picked Mike Tyson who is no way an action star. So setting aside the fact that the criteria has nothing to do with who would win in a street fight, I still don't think you're route has that advantage you think it does. |

There is a lot of action in 'The Hangover'
I'd argue it is a Comedy/Action flick
And Mike Tyson is in 'The Hangover'
Hence - he is an Action Star

Or, you can just point to him being in IP Man 3 (and a slew of garbage, straight-to-video action flicks). Although "star" is a bit of a stretch given that he typically only appears in a scene or two.

My Chief Diversity Officer informed me that my next pick has to be a woman – so I’ll take Jennifer Garner. The actress who specializes in romantic comedies, I hear you asking? Not so fast – she played the ass-kicking spy Sydney Bristow in “Alias”!

Even with if you concede that mega, ultra, super, gargantuan stretch of logic.. Even then.. He's fucking terrible in it. He's great at what he does, but being in movies is not what he does. Ever see The Hangover 2? It's awful and for some reason they have him sing in it. And it's bad, not in a funny way where it's amusing watching him try to sing, but in a way that you're surprised that he would embarrass himself like that or that anyone thought it should make the final cut. |

Reginald VelJohnson is in Die Hard. Is he an action star? Tyson and McSorley should be disqualified from this made up draft. |

' Like I said, it's your pick. They don't even necessarily have to be from a title traditionally considered to be an 'action' property. Tough guys and badasses abound in drama as well as comedy. '
I think you guys are just jealous that my squad is better than yours right now
And I get it
