Flying Shark Vs. Flying Crocodile

[ProfessorCool]

What the hell is this about?

[Emu]

Flying Shark and Flying Crocodile are going to duke it out. I'm putting my bet on crocodile because he seems to have developed humanoid arms and legs on top of having wings.

[Mockery]

Glad someone posted this, cuz after watching Adult Swim this past weekend I was dying to know whether or not it's going to be a real show. If it is going to be real, I can't fucking wait.

I'd have to go with the shark because I love sharks and they seem much more menacing than a lowly croc.

[Mockery]

BTW, for those of you who know nothing about this, here are the two characters:

Man, I have to make that shark my new avatar haha.

[pjalne]

This better fucking be released on DVD so I can see it too.

[Drev]

This should've been on Wrestlemania. >:

GO SHARK! He has a damn jet pack on! Jet pack > natural wings

Though the croc had more experience with real flying.

WHO SHALL WIN?!? :(

[pjalne]

Crocodiles can breathe air. I don't care what kind of breathing aid the shark has, real lungs are a major advantage.

[Mockery]

The shark has friggin' arms man, I think it's safe to say that both of these creatures are "super mutants" in their own right. I have a feeling the shark has adapted to breathing air, just as he has learned how to build a jetpack. And the fact that he figured out how to build one suggests that he's quite the intelligent shark.

[Bennett]

i thought it was just an undisputable fact that shark beats crocodile like rock busts scissors... the flying-mutant part would just make it more fun to watch.

[Emu]

Do you think the shark could shoot lazers? Hell, if he could build a jetpack, who knows where his technological advancements may stop!

[Spooky]

it's such a toss-up, but flying crocodile has legs, and will ninja-kick his way to victory

[Matt Harty]

The croc can grab the shark with its legs and pulverize it with the fists. I think the shark is basically defenseless.

[Bennett]

if the croc tried to hold the shark at any time, his flesh would be ripped from the bone by row after row of flesh rending razor sharp teeth.

[Supafly345]

Sharks don't have necks, so I doubt he could lean over and bite something that is anywhere other than directly in front of him.

[Matt Harty]

With all of the equipment I doubt the sharks head has that kinda range of motion.


edit: or what supafly said :)

[Bennett]

:/ their entire body is a freaking neck.

[Mockery]

Crocs also have problems raising their jaws after biting down. While they have a powerful bite, they literally have no strength in opening their mouths again once closed. That's why you see even the largest crocs having their mouths held shut by the bare hands of regular people.

Try holding the jaws of a shark shut and see where it gets ya.

[Supafly345]

The shark is much more chic than the crocodile, and I stand behind style.

[Royal Tenenbaum]

The croc has freaking legs, lungs that breath air, and real wings. All it would have to do is break the shark's jet pack/breathing device and he'll win. No contest, the Croc would win.

[Bennett]

There is nothing to suggest that the shark has an artificial breathing apparatus. Furthermore, I personally do not see what the big deal is about having legs. It's just a couple more appendages waiting to be snapped off by the shark's mighty jaws.

Shark vs. Crocodile... shark wins. it just does. this is making me angry like when I think about the fact that people actually voted for G. W. Bush.

[Rongi]

I think this is a parody of something they're doing on discovery. These guys are building a robot crocodile and a robot shark and they're going to have them fight eachother.

[mesobe]

well it is suggested crocs have a higher tolerance to illness and infection, not to mention the ability to sustain huge surface wounds. The crocs wings are more fragile than the sharks rocket pack, but the rocket pack is vulnerable to mechanical failure. Now crocs have more experince with moving around on land even though they are built more for swimming... will this be a factor on speed and agility? because sharks have zero land time. Unless shark plans to defeat croc with air attacks.

[Two-Faced]

wow mother earths creatures on 'roids! which homosexual came up with this idea??

[agroskaterik]

you can vote on the adult swim site

i voted for flying alligator twice

[Emu]

What about...Flying Gorilla? :eek :eek

[Mockery]

Something people seem to be forgetting is that this is called flying shark vs. flying crocodile. And while gators have no experience with air time, Sharks have already mastered some pretty friggin' amazing aerial maneuvers.

http://www.mozambique.co.za/images/gw-shark-jump-belly3.jpg

[Matt Harty]

But I think anything with wings would have an easier time manuevering than a jetpack.

And if you're getting all technical and such the jetpack's jets would probably slice the shark up with alot of movement.

[thebiggameover]

Now crocs have more experince with moving around on land even though they are built more for swimming... will this be a factor on speed and agility? because sharks have zero land time. Unless shark plans to defeat croc with air attacks.

word. i putting my money on croc...

[Emu]

This should DEFINATELY go in thread backups. :lol I love you guys.

[bigtimecow]

you dont' have silver hair! :eek

[Poxpower]

I think that the shark is at a disadvantage in the air because he has no legs and all, but if he manages to take the fight to the water, and damage croc's wings, he would win for sure. Plus the shark has some spikes on his head. He could just ram croc's belly and have a nice intestine dinner.
But the crocodile does have claws.....

And if the shark gets grounded over land (....) he couldn't move much and would surely be defeated.

But since the surface of the earth is more water than land, my money is on Flying Shark.

[Emu]

But if it goes underwater, the jetpack might malfunction. :eek

[Mockery]

But if it goes underwater, the jetpack might malfunction. :eek
As if the wings would be useful underwater? :P

Both creatures can fight underwater, but the shark can move MUCH faster and is far more powerful. He'd make that gator look like a baby seal in no time.

[Emu]

But what if the alligator got to land and was able to take off again? THE BATTLE WOULD BE OVER

[agroskaterik]

no because it's a battle TO THE DEATH

[Bennett]

I would think that for these two animals, being airborne would actually be a lot like being in the water... so the wings would probably give the croc more manueverability than it would in its natural environment. Nevertheless, I think the shark would still have superior manueverability and would gobble that croc up in no time.

[ScruU2wice]

Am i the only one that wants a long, bloody, drawn out fight which may or may not lead to an inconclusive ending :(

[agroskaterik]

I want them to be friends :(

[Command Prompt]

Sharks are cool but they can't stop moving or they will suffocate. What kind of loser has to keep moving all the time WTF :(

[Mockery]

Oh yeah? Gators can only use their muscles for about 20 minutes max before they get tired. Then they have to rest for a half hour or more! Ha! There's elderly people at the local gym that use their muscles for longer periods of time!

[Emu]

I still think Flying Gorilla would kick both of their asses. >:

[Drev]

Would Flying Gorrila have a helicopter strapped to his back?

[Zhukov]

First of all, the shark must only have a limited supply of fuel, there are no unlimited fuel devices around. There is no point going into the realms of fantasy.

Since the crocodile has wings, it must have grown them and used them alot growing up. The shark, on the other hand, could never have built a jet pack when it was young. Crocodile has experience in the air.

A sharks tooth is very sharp, however, it is also very weak. Sharks loose their teeth very easily - this is why they have so many - they also grow back quite fast.

A woman recently tested her chain mail armour against a shark. The armour protected her from it's biting.

A crocodile doesn't have metal, but it does have a virtualy impregnibale hide. Shotgun rounds were fired at a croc that stole a womans baby in the Northern Territory a few years back, they didn't hurt the beast. The crocodile is a whirling cyclone of death and misery.

Even a simpleton could work out that one bite from a shark on a crocidiles hide will not only leave the croc un-harmed, but will render the sharks main offensive weapon useless. The teeth will shatter like brittle cheese.

After this, the croc will stick it's hands into the sharks gills and tear it's head off.

Another point. How do sharks steer themselves? Tail fin. Look carefuly at your hero and see what would happen if he were to attempt to turn his tail: The rocket packs jet trail would destroy any steering/hitting capability it might have once had. Truly, the shark is a weak target for the mincing machine that is a flying crocodile.

Gators can only use their muscles for about 20 minutes max before they get tired.
I accept this. It is damning evidence for our friend the ALLIGATOR.

[Spectre X]

But if it goes underwater, the jetpack might malfunction. :eek
As if the wings would be useful underwater? :P


Wings are, actually, REALLY useful underwater. Saw a tape of a buncha storm birds swimming. Pretty useful, y'know, wings for swimming.

But I say shark wins.

[Bennett]

first of all, ARTIST'S RENDITION.

The jet pack is obviously not going to get in the way of the sharks flight, unless there is some mishap.

Secondly, although Rog mentioned gators, crocs tire easily as well. Which means the croc would be better off with a jetpack himself. the amount of energy he would waste just getting his massive 15 foot long frame off of the ground would make him to weak to even flail at the ever-patient, circling, perfect-killing machine that is the flying shark.

chain-mail armor might be useful against say a tiger shark or something... but if we're going by the pictures, that looks like a great white to me... let's see that lady smear some chum on her arm and hold it in front of a great white and we'll see what happens.

[pjalne]

I still think Flying Gorilla would kick both of their asses. >:

Flying primates were proven useless in Wizard of Oz.

I'm surprised noone has pointed out the fact that a decent punch in the shark's nose will incapacitate it. The shark may have a shot at rushing the croc, but if it fails and the croc is given a chance at getting the upper hand by exploiting the Achilles nose, the shark is cat food.

[DamnthatDavid]

Shark Will Win.

The Shark is Areodynamic, the tail works as a plane's tail rudder. Allowing him to turn, as if he was in the water.
True, sharks loose theath, not because they are brittle, but because they are not hooked it. They are covered with skin, that if looked at closely, is as sharp as the teath.
The Great Sharks are hunters, they attack at speed, fast quick bite, then they let go, and let the prey bleed to death.
After it's prey is dead, a great white bites, and then rips it in half with one shake of it head., and violently shakes only its head back and forth, and the razor blade teeth slice pieces off.


Crocs mimic logs, and snap and hold to the prey. Killing them by drowning. Crocs teath are like grips, and they never do any actual biting and chewing. They twirl around and around to rip of chunks.


The Shark will win. It's movements in the water are more akin to a hunter. The Croc, with all the extra body parts, will be slowed down. It's rate of climb will be greatly reduced, and it's turns will have to be slow, or the whip around of the tail, or legs, will send it into a spin.

[Mr. Vagiclean]

Did the commercial tell where the fight will take place? I have missed it.

[pjalne]

[mburbank]

See, now, I think flying shark has it all over Flying Croc as an idea, but they drew flying Croc with hands, whioch seems to me like an unfair advantage. Give the shark some hands and he'll once again be on top. I think this whole thing is fucked, man. It's obvious flying croc has the war chest for artistic renderings like this, which to me means he's probably in the pocket of the special interests. Flying shark is the peoples flying death machine.

Wait. WAR CHEST could be a good character. Sounds like the kind of dumbass name Rob Liefeld would have given a charcater.

"LOOK OUT MAN! IT'S WARCHEST! AND HE'S GOING APESHIT!"

[Bennett]

Max,

Flying Shark has hands but no legs, which in an airborne fight... i don't see as much of a disadvantage. The only thing more deadly than flying shark would be a flying elephant with a flying shark on its back.

[Rongi]

Flying Shark is going to make a purse out of Flying Crocodile. Flying Crocodile may have legs, but can he regenerate his teeth?

[ScruU2wice]

I'm surprised noone has pointed out the fact that a decent punch in the shark's nose will incapacitate it. The shark may have a shot at rushing the croc, but if it fails and the croc is given a chance at getting the upper hand by exploiting the Achilles nose, the shark is cat food.

I thought it had to be above the nose which is covered in spikes. I'd have to say that all jaws showed sharks are very proficient killers, where lake placid showed that big crocodiles eat cattle. Or was that an alligator? :(

i meant the geological location where these two kickass beasts will hold their match. I am guessing something like, a beach :/

[Bennett]

in the air, man. where else would a flying shark and flying crocodile engage in battle, the hair-salon?

[Cap'n Crunch]

http://www.angelfire.com/tv/spacepark/images/sharkodile.jpg

[ProfessorCool]

The shark is way faster and deadly, but the croc has a chance, since shark's skeleton is made of cartilage. The croc, if he gets his hands on him, can twist el sharko till the shark organs burst. The croc only has one or two real shots, if he misses the shark wil shred him, if he gets ahold of them, shark's gone.

[thebiggameover]

The crocodile is a whirling cyclone of death and misery.


The only thing more deadly than flying shark would be a flying elephant with a flying shark on its back.

:lol :bestthread

[Poxpower]

Awww the crocodile couldn't even fly anyways. His wings are like way too tiny. He's have to flap them like 1000 times per second. So he'd be grounded. And since the shark has no legs, it couldn't fight on the ground.


conclusion: its either a draw because both stay in their respective elements ( land for croc or air/water for shark) or the shark wins because he waits for the croc to come into the water, because it will eventually have to.....

so at least shark can't lose. that's a given.

[Dr. V]

I'm gonna give it to the Croc, just because he has a cool anime pose.

[Spooky]

Yeah, like the shark can grow teeth back during a fight to the death. :rolleyes

[Bennett]

>: Flying crocodile is going to have to regenerate his head after flying shark RIPS IT OFF!!!

[Matt Harty]

In the preview it sounds like they both have to die. :|

[Rongi]

It's a cartoon. Cartoons can do anything >:

[Comrade Rocket]

[ScruU2wice]

There having a real version of this on Discovery channel where they make robots of them :eek

[ProfessorCool]

In the preview it sounds like they both have to die. :|

Cartoons only die in anime.

[ItalianStereotype]

I would say Flying Croc, but knowing Adult Swim Inuyasha's probably going to win.

[agroskaterik]

There having a real version of this on Discovery channel where they make robots of them :eek

yea rongi said that :rolleyes

[Emu]

I would say Flying Croc, but knowing Adult Swim Inuyasha's probably going to win.

you just ruined this for me >:

even though you're probably right :(

[Mr. Vagiclean]

Hey i just saw a commercial from Discovery channel that's actually going to build the mechanized sharks and crocs and let them go at it each other.

I've always wanted the tiger vs lion fight :love

[Bennett]

>: Don't ruin this thread you fucking jerk >:

>: >: >: >: >: >:

[agroskaterik]

Hey i just saw a commercial from Discovery channel that's actually going to build the mechanized sharks and crocs and let them go at it each other.


yea rongi said that :rolleyes

[ProfessorCool]

So I saw on one of these channels which is entirely made to advance one's intellect about the world around them that they were going to do a battle of these two aviation animal fighters YET, they will be made of metal and gears instead of blood and guts, doesn't that sound exciting?

[Matt Harty]

hey guys i was watching the discovery channel and i saw this commercial for croc vs shark kinda like this thing yeah their going to fight to the death

[ProfessorCool]

With all these new shows, the real winner is going to be the Flying Ratings :)

[Emu]

ProfessorCool you are a card! :lol I am going to invite you to my parties.

[Drev]

THEY'RE PUPPET! :eek

BETTER THAN I THOUGHT!

[HickMan]

i didnt know this thread existed until now :(

[Mockery]

I have been so moved by the flying shark vs. flying croc battle that I made my own little tribute to the shark.

Behold:

http://www.i-mockery.com/shark

to be continued...

[ScruU2wice]

i got home saw sock puppets an interview and went upstairs :(

I didn't have the patience to watch the whole night...

i'm so weak....

[Mockery]

For those who have missed out so far, there's video footage of the battles that have taken place along with all sorts of other extras:
http://www.adultswim.com/promos/200403_shark_v_croc/index.html

Check it out now.

And then of course, there's my tribute to the shark:
http://www.i-mockery.com/shark

[agroskaterik]

so who won? :(

[Drev]

NO ONE YET! >:

[Mockery]

Holy shit, check out the voting on the site! Now they're trying to give the croc an unfair advantage! Try voting for the shark and see what happens. hahahah

[ScruU2wice]

yeah I voted for shark like three times just because it was harder :lol

[pjalne]

I wish this computer wasn't a total fag so I could see it :( I'm gonna have to drop by a friend's and mooch.

[Bennett]

Did anybody besides me watch the discovery "Animal Face-Off"?

Oh man, it was good.

The scientists did virtually nothing, and all they really "tested" was the strength of the shark and croc's bites... which while it is a big factor in such a "battle" there are multitudes of other intangibles that the scientists and experts hardly even touched on. All they did was build to giant robotic heads.

The best part by far, was that there was a saltwater croc expert and a shark expert, and the two of them talked smack to each other throughout the whole show. Before commercial breaks they would have the two of them leaning over a table, right in each other's faces, saying shit like:

Croc expert: "sharks have been found in the bellies of crocodiles."
Shark expert: "Not a great white... i can guarantee that."
Croc expert: "No, not a great white, but it proves that crocodiles are tested against sharks."

Then the shark expert would look all sad and say something like:
"I hope you don't think the crocodiles armor is going to protect it... the bite of great white shark can saw right through a giant sea turtle."

:)

[Matt Harty]

No I didn't see it.

[ProfessorCool]

The shark won, with laser vison :hypno

[ScruU2wice]

what the hell i thought it would end on sunday :(

I missed it all :tear

[davinxtk]

My friends and I watch Adult Swim at work (overnights, yuck) and they're all rooting for the croc.
I alone stand with the shark on this matter.


In other news, :picklehat

[Mockery]

Even Adult Swim is making it sound like the Croc is going to win... which is all the reason I need to vote for the shark. Sounds like a big setup to me.

[davinxtk]

Doesn't this end tonight?

[Drev]

And the winner is...

THE FLYING CROCODILE

>: :(

[ProfessorCool]

WOOHOO GO CROC!

what the hell is ted dansen doing in my avatar >:

[Jixby Phillips]

ACTING

[pjalne]

:rock

[Dr. V]

WOO HA CROC'S GOT YOU ALL IN CHECK!

[Mockery]

What a croc...

That was a huge let-down. I mean, they could've done so much more with it. Instead, they have an old lady who says "the crocodile won". While I appreciate the annoying humor in that, I was still hoping for something much more amusing... even if they were going to have the croc win.

Hell, my puny flash tribute was more exciting than their ending was. :/

[ProfessorCool]

This is like wacky deli when they showed nothing but mayonaise for 20 minutes. >:
