Post pictures of the Ninja/Pirate War. Just for the hell of it.

I'll start:

I see your sneaky attacking ninja and offer two fair fights of my own.

Oh, yeah?



Also, what's with the Green Lantern ninja?

Didn't it have its genesis somewhere back in '02?
Cowboys are the new ninjas, and controversially also the new pirates.
(The Western is a big genre)

I have a theory. My theory is that pirates like dogs, and ninjas like cats.

Anyone who can produce photographic evidence supporting my theory will be handsomely rewarded.

I'm not sure if this pirate/horse/plane thing could be considered on-topic but I like it.

It is, of course, much older than 2004 in practice, but that was the last time when one could get away with ninja/pirate stuff without being a big yawn.

WHAZZZZZUUUUUPPPPPPP?

Sorry too soon?

(Ah 2001 how I hated thee. The year of WHAZZZUUPPPP? and Foot and Mouth.)
 
 
Mistoffelees
22:21 / 14.12.05
Aaargh, I misread that as pirates are like dogs, and ninjas are like cats.

ninja/pirate

Prepare yourself for the greatest taboo of all time.

Could a pirate ever truly love a ninja?
 
 
Saint Keggers
23:43 / 14.12.05
No, it'd be similar to a Ghostbuster's "crossing the streams" type incident
 
 
Shrug
23:55 / 14.12.05
Alas I fear it may be inevitable dear Keggers. The question you really should be asking yourself now is "Will this unholy and unprecendented union result in New York being covered in marshmallow or something more terrible indeed?"

O-O-O-Oh no it's not. It's timeless.

May be last year's thing, but the retro waves are coming faster.

Cowboys are the new ninjas, and controversially also the new pirates.

I thought the cowboys were the western samurais.
Great pirate horse!



The Misterious Ninja Pirate! (Or is it pirate ninja? You decide!) Scientists around the world have speculated that, if such creature were to exist, the universe would explode.

Batman = Ninja
Aquaman = Pirate

Ultimate Pirate vs. Ultimate Ninja

Aquaman = Pirate? Please. Pirates can't swim!

I have to say, whilst I love pirates, I can't see any of 'em bringing down a ninja single-handedly. Ninjas are trained from birth for combat, pirates have other strengths, IMO.
 
 
Cowboy Scientist
13:20 / 15.12.05
Aquaman = Pirate? Please. Pirates can't swim!

Okay, but I don't see the Joker being more pirate than Aquaman.

Well, it was always a bit shit.

Mistoffelees rocks my world!

Now I desperately want that to be a movie scene.
 
 
Earlier than I thought
19:48 / 15.12.05
Ninjas are, theoretically, harder than pirates. But suppose it was only one ninja and shit-loads of pirates? How many pirates equal one ninja?
 
 
JOY NO WRY
20:01 / 15.12.05
Oh yeah? Fuck your theory.
 
 
matthew.
20:04 / 15.12.05
Obviously 15 pirates equal one ninja. God, it's so obvious. It pains me to even draw your attention to it.
 
 
Sekhmet
01:39 / 16.12.05
But... pirates can use flintlocks and cannons, see. Therefore your ninjas aren't getting anywhere near the pirate ship, with their cute little katanas and sticks on chains.

i always thought your average ninja was pretty open to new technology and crafty killing ways.
i mean, sam fisher is a ninja, isnt he?
batman uses all sorts of toys too.

cannons and shit are cool for their time, but while the pirates of now seem to have slipped a little in terms of tech, ninjas seem to sail pretty close to the bleeding edge.

ninjas will have boat-busters of some kind, im sure.
invisible ones.

The problem with your basic ninja is that they'll never be able to sneak up on the pirates. What with all those noisy parrots and monkeys keeping an eye out.

Plus, pirates have the added security that a crow's nest provides. What do ninjas have that can stand against a watchful pirate, in a barrel, up a mast? Rice flails? Pah!
 
 
Char Aina

one word answer?
swimming.
another?
underwater.

see, things with ninjas is that they arent really treetop and ceiling guys as much as they are seige experts. they do the trees and ceilings stuff, but their real expertise is in being able to crack a castle and cause mayhem. without people really knowing what is going on.

one might make a parrot squawk at random intervals from a distance so that its cries became meaningless as a warning system. one might also lure monkeys(and possibly crewmen) to their death using bananas laced with rum and killing a watchful crow's nest occupier would seem no harder than taking out snipers and archers, a common task for your average ninja.

after all that, one might swim to the boat, cut a dirty great hole in it, scale the sides, kill your quarry, fuck off and watch the wreck sink, hiding your handiwork.

wouldnt be too difficult for one ninja, but i would reccomend four or five if the game is a big one.

i cant think of a single intrinsic pirate quality that would defend against such an attack. i can think of a couple that would help the ninja at work.

But think of all those sharks that patrol the icy waters beneath a pirate ship. Those pesky ninjas aren't shark proof.

And if they are?

Then god help us all.
 
 
Char Aina
11:59 / 16.12.05
see, every shark is really a dead ninja.

they are reincarnated as the teeth with tails to deal death until ragnarok. i think its their hatred for pirates that leads most of them to be sharks, but there are stories of a crocodilian ninja school.

one time i even saw a dog that looked like a ninja.

i think most animals (except maybe parrots) are the ninja's friend or food.

Ninja = shark proof
Batman = ninja
then
Batman = shark proof

Amaya spots some baby ninjas on the horizon and readies herself for battle.
