The eternal debate...
This ain't the 2000s anymore gramps, move on.
>>198618082None of the above
>>198618278knights are too zesty
>>198618082Pirates is a more appealing for the ladies. Wearing loose clothing, having a European accent, not giving af about governments, eye liner. "I'm in love with the sea". That kind of shit But when you really think about it, Pirates were probably malnourished, jaded, faggots living on knifes edge on their rinky dink piece of wood. Cowboys on the other hand, had true freedom. Outlaws being the most popular story tropes. Saloon prostitutes whenever they feel like it. No running out of booze. Plus you can truly live alone on the frontier...while to be a pirate means having to live with a dozen+ stinky men.
>>198618608the average cowboy was just some fucking peasant who's whole life depended on selling a cow or two, not some le ebin gunslinger either, anon
Cowkeks “win” by default because it’s so expensive and complicated to film seakinoBoatbros, we suffer
>>198619206>not some le ebin gunslinger either, anonWhere in my long comment did I mention guns you illiterate dingus? You're just salty that most men would rather be a peasant living on their own terms than a scurvy ridden sap being worked to death.
Isn’t it cowboys vs Indians? Never heard pirated vs cowboys before
>>198618082we need more pirate movies, like way more. POTC should not be the only pirate movie. We get westerns every year, lets get a pirate movie every year.
>>198618082cowboys have guns that can be short more than once
well the cowboy is holding the other one around his chest like a gay so I choose pirate
>>198618082Ninjaspicrel
>>198619429this movie killed the whole genre, pretty much
>>198618082only one will be crownedthe DEADLIEST WARRIOR
>>198618082>Pirates on land: Might win against cowboys, but probably not.>Cowboys at sea: Pirates win no question.
>>198619782Based
>>198618082It's pirates versus ninjas, you dumb fucking zoomer. Cowboys fight mobsters.
>>198619782Pirates are clearly better fighters because there is little civility or law at sea. Cowboys are tough and capable, but they're lawful and less skilled in combat. The only real advantage cowboys have is superior firearms.
we settled this in splatoon years ago
>>198619857What if they have seahorses?
>>198620388Touche
Official ranking:Samurai > Cowboys > Detectives > Ninjas > Knights > Pirates
>>198620844dumb weeb
>>198618082Pirates are de facto gay
>>198620388I don't think seahorses could successfully attack a pirate ship. It would be cool, but it simply isn't realistic.
>>198620844>Samurai above three classes that have access to firearms Did you fuck up on purpose?
Cowboys were prolific in the late 19th century with repeating cartridged rifle tech. Pirates were prolific in the 17-18 century with black powder weapons. Cowboys would obviously win, even on water. 3 guys with rifles on a small boat can easily kill 100 pirates on a big ship with cannons and shitty flintlock pistols.Not even close.
>>198621026How would Cowboy boat even get close enough to Pirate ship to shoot?
>>198620844Damn, I mustve missed some episodes of Deadliest Warriora
>>198621068Why would they need to? The pirates can't reliably kill the cowboys while the cowboys can hover around and pick them off. Only grapeshot would really be a threat and they'd have to get pretty close for that to be effective, after they use up those canisters then they have no way to deal with the small boat.
>>198620974What if a samurai had a gun? That's right, game over.
>>198619515>well the cowboy is holding the other one around his chest like a gay so I choose pirateHe's holding a lariat, retard.
>>198619717Cutthroat Island is great though.
>>198618082Cowboy is such lame name. Like are they gonna Mooo at the Pirates.
>>198618278>yes suh, right away suh, for god countrydo armorbucks really?
>>198621152samurai DID have guns
>>198621144I don't think cowboys could pull that off. I think a pirate ship could handle a small boat.
>>198621026What if the pirates just sailed the fuck away and cowboys had to deal with the beaner natives?
>>198621333>t. duded-up city slicker
>>198621407reddit guns
>>198619980>implyingMaybe on a ship. A nobody cowboy ranchhand that only uses guns to scare off coyotes would have far more experience with a gun than any pirate. All pirates have experience with using is cannons to hit massive targets and protoshotguns to hit fleeing civilians. Pirates would run and cry if someone fought back.
>>198620844I think Mega-Man should be on top.
>>198618082Pirates, sure Cowboy has a six-shooter revolver but the pirate gets as many weapon as he can possibly carry.
for me it's puritans, either side of the pond
>>198621273>lariatidk gay sex lingo im sorry
>>198621273>He's holding a lariat???
>>198621784When did Ford stop naming all their vehicles with alliterative S words?
>>198618082>cowboys: saloon full of western whores >pirates: boats full of cabin boys Pirates are gay, end of story
>>198621831*E words
>>198621626Without ego or preference, I think pirates are slightly superior. Pirates lived more violent lives, and had fewer comforts. In short: A pirate is tougher.
>>198621626Golden age Pirates are literally soldiers that were sent on secret special military operation to attack and sink ships, also life on a ship is the hardest.
>>198621898Pirates were just edging.
>>198622072>>198621929A cowboy doesn't have a ship to sink and pirates can't hit anything smaller than a ship with a cannon so it doesn't matter. If a pirate and a cowboy got into a "hitting the broad side of a barn with a cannon" contest, the pirate would win. If they were just fighting then the pirate loses ten times out of ten.
Ok let's ask the real question. Rum or Whiskey?
>>198618082what if you added 1 trillion lions to the fight?
Niggers ruined pirates
>>198622586Did pirates ever steal slaves?
john wayne and clint eastwood could solo the entire pirates of the carribean cast if they teamed up
>>198622934That sounds incredibly gay.
>>198622167Whoa, whoa; bro... I'd give you eight out of ten times. Some pirates could probably outdo some cowboys one-on-one. But I'm assuming they're both fighting druk. Pirates do have some advantage. Especially is a cowboy runs out of bullets or dosen't have a gun.
>>198621683
>>198618608>Saloon prostitutes This, cowboys it is
>>198623109Saloon prostitutes were actually stinkier. Modern women already stank like hell, imagine bitches in the wild west.
>>198623153>Saloon prostitutes were actually stinkierhow would you know?
>>198623153You gotta take what you can get when you can get it. Life in the 19th century was hard on a man...
>>198623166I was there. I'm John Wayne and that's why im gay.
>>198621144Until they attempt to board the pirate ship to kill the crew. By that time, they might be low on ammo. Swords and knives don't run out.
Thread theme song incoming:https://youtu.be/fkZ7V8LYFaM
>>198621301Cost too much and made too little and was hugely notable. Waterworld is arguably also responsible. Filming on water, with ships is just insanely expensive. I love Wateroworld and think Cutthroat Island is pretty ok. At the end of the day, they didn't make back their budget. It's Hollywood. They see the numbers. You really can't do a pirate movie for cheap, cause it'll look cheap and people won't see it. Nearly every boat related movie fails. The Ron Howard Moby Dick film bombed. I don't know what it'll take to make them cheaper, but Id like to see more pirate movies. Or even a Sinbad movie.
>>198623363>Filming on water, with ships is just insanely expensiveWhy?
>>198620844Knights > Samurai > Cowboys > Detectives > Ninjas > Pirates
>>198623363It's actually a good thing. That whenever a production has the money for a proper boat kino, you know you're in for a treat. Better to a kino once in while than tons of inferior crap.
>>198623597Knights don't understand the concept of firearms. You don't think a cowboy could take down a dozen Knights with a single rifle?
>>198623652Ever heard of shields?
>>198623511Films are best made in studios where you can control light, temperature and moisture. This also lets you control time better. You wanna set up at 8am and film till midnight? You can do that on a set. You can't do that on the water. Conditions change, and sometimes rapidly. You also want consistency. You don't want dawn, then blue skies, than gray. So, you can film maybe 1/3 the amount of time in a day. So a 5 day shoot in a set becomes a 15 day shoot on water.Boats themselves take a crew on top of a film crew. Then there's extras. Having a saloon full of guys in a western is no big deal. On water, they all have to be insured and go through basic safety training. All of this takes time and will also mean the extras may have to be featured extras or stunt people, much more pay than a guy sitting at a bar wearing a hat. Nearly every place you might want to film a movie on the ocean will need to be near a port town, which will also run up the cost. For a western, filming in the middle of the desert is cheap. You can fly into some gas station stop of a town and not be bothered. If you need sections of a beach closed? Oh....the toursim board is gonna love the new streets this movie pays for. Digital is the way to go, unfortunately. Fake boats, green screen, it's just too cheap and safe to do it that way now.
It ain't about who would win. It's about who is cooler, who is more appealing to be, who would you rather watch on the big screen. Cowboys clear all with private detectives close behind.
>>198623700You think a medieval shield can stop rifle bullets?
>>198618082Both are savage degenerate faggots and criminals.
>>198624493zesty
>>198623652>Childlish concept like "cowboy have guns and thay are better"I guess black gettho thugs are even cooler then cowboys cause they are armed with uzi or mac 10 that shoots faster then colt 1860 or winchester 1873> Knights don't understand the concept of firearmsYeah right....
This is your average pirate fan btw
>>198624743Modern thugs with modern weapons would indeed present a great threat to cowboys.
>>198623363None of the words in your post had anything to do with my statement about Cutthroat Island being great.
>>198625414Do we really talk childlish "who would win?" This is retarded...
>>198622934That would be a cool team up.

no, pirates and cowboys are bros.pirates vs ninjas is the real debate.

Ninja's vs. Pirates would draw the dimes, brother.

>>198618082Hunters of the supernatural are the only archetype that are actually cool.
>>198628203based.
>>198618082The pirates have swords so once they close the distance the cowboys are fucked
Why do pirate stories frequently involve fantasy but speculative elements in cowboy movies are virtually non-existent?I think it has something to do with the fact that the sea is so much more amorphous and more unlivable that it invites things that feel impossible.
>>198623109>fucking some lame saloon whore when you could be fucking a mermaidngmi
>>198621626Hitting a ship with a canon is really hard. The ocean is constantly moving both ships up and down so your timing, not just your aim, has to be perfect.
Guys, the answer is Pirates vs. Ninjas:>pirates at sea come across an island where an ancient mysterious ninja sect has set up a temple>they make landfall and enter the jungle and begin encountering them.>multiple melee battles and firefights erupt. >geishas, concubines, chick pirates>European/Asian swordsmanship>temple/jungle battlegroundThink of the kino. It would work.
>>198638328The Cowboy era overlaps with the industrial era and the triumph of the scientific method. The age of exploration was over and the last great frontier was rapidly being settled and tamed. In the pirate era, the New World is still exotic and only partially explored, scientists are still dabbling in stuff like alchemy, and Europeans are constantly encountering strange new peoples with unfamiliar spiritual beliefs.
>>198618082Deadliest Warrior and Manswers were invented to answer these sorts of questions.
>>198618291Only blacks boys are zesty and black boys were never knights lol
