50 Most Rewatchable Movie Scenes - 34. Star Wars: The Phantom Menace - Duel of the Fates

Phantom Menace

YouTube - Qui-Gon & Obi-Wan vs Darth Maul

So much went wrong with the prequel trilogy. From Jar Jar to I don't like sand to From my point of view the Jedi are evil. Way too much nonsense. Midichlorians? What the hell? Darth Vader made C-3P0. So landing on the Millenium Falcon were his son, his mentor, his main driod that he never acknowledges again or the one he created that he never acknowledges again. And they are coming to rescue his daughter. The finale for The Phantom Menace is quite like The Return of the Jedi. There is a space battle, a ground battle and a lightsaber fight. They are pretty big time fillers but are ultimately just big action set pieces that add little to the overall story but put a ribbon on everything. Here you have one character we know nothing about, has one line, shows up, looks wicked, kills our main character. But it sounds and looks awesome when it happens. It's well choreographed. Good on Disney for not killing him off but bringing him back in multiple shows and movies.

50 Favorite Adult Swim Characters

I tried to get a good variety and yet be fair to what I like the most. I'm sure there are one I've missed and some that might be surprising but if it aired on Adult Swim - I can use it. I didn't use any characters from either Robot Chicken or Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! as they are basically clip shows and while good, the re-occurring characters aren't used enough. Also, it turns out H. Jon Benjamin is the voice for half these shows. 50. Chains     Fat Guy Stuck in Internet 49. Assy McGee    Assy McGee H. Jon Benjamin plays the mayor. 48. The Mayor    Tom Goes to the Mayor A Picture of Jeff Goldbloom instead of the Mayor, but this was by far the funniest thing on the show. 47. Inuyasha    Inuyasha 46. Satan     Lucy: The Daughter of the Devil Wears Bill Cosby sweaters and is always trying to kill his daughters boyfriend DJ Jesus. Yeah... One of the H. Jon Benjamin voices...

My Top 100 One Drop (CC) Creatures (20-1)

My Top 100 One Drop (CC) Creatures (100-81) My Top 100 One Drop (CC) Creatures (80-61) My Top 100 One Drop (CC) Creatures (60-41) My Top 100 One Drop (CC) Creatures (40-21) 20. Vexing Devil Giving an opponent a choice is never a good idea. However I really feel like it's win win here in the aggressive deck. A 4/3 for one will almost always be worth a card. So the real question is - is it worth a card to deal 4 damage for a red? It's not quite Flame Slash good in a control deck, or as great top deck as Thunderous Wrath but better than Thunderbolt or Lava Axe . 19. Scute Mob Not a true one drop. But by turn six hopefully you are going get a hydra-like insect that will quickly get insanely huge if not dealt with. My biggest issue is that it doesn't have trample. It's still a great costed creature that can do some work if unchecked. There are lots of ways to give it Trample in Green not named Rancor . 18. Dragonmaster Outcast And yet another non-true o...
