Leatherface is a pussy for using weapons


Seriously, why is he considered to be one of the most iconic serial killers? He's a coward! It's simple, just take away his weapons and he'd be nothing. He uses weapons because he knows he'd be weak without them. If you take away Leatherface's weapons, a body-builder, wrestler, martial-artist, or a boxer would be able to take him down in a hand to hand combat.

If you use weapons, that means you're weak.

Didn't you post this on the Freddy vs Jason board, whilst totally forgetting Freddy Krueger used knives?

reply

Freddy doesn't need weapons. He has supernatural power. Leatherface is just a fat guy wearing an apron with a chainsaw. WOW SO SCARY! It's so simple, take away Leatherface's mask, apron, and chainsaw and let's see how scary he really is.

Freddy doesn't need weapons. He has supernatural power.

And yet still uses his glove quite often.

A large mentally challenged man with brute strength and a desire to wear your skin as a mask?

That's because Freddy was being a fag and wasn't being serious. even if you take away his clawed gloves, he can still kill people all thanks to his supernatural power. so bite me.

Uhh yea, he's retarted, you admitted it. So yea, I'm pretty sure taking his chainsaw away from him would not be too difficult.

What's so brave about killing with supernatural powers? That's like shooting fish in a barrel.

Ahem, "retarted" is not a word.

Ahh got no real argument eh? I won, you lost, get over it.

reply

No need to argue. Your desire to belittle someone over their mental capacity, yet you can't even spell the insult correctly, is embarrassing enough. Like someone quoting scripture, even though they can't read.

you gave Alien vs Predator: Requiem a 6/10? LOOOOOOOOL! Now I can't tell if you have a higher IQ than Leatherface or not.

reply

I just want to say I love your board avatar! That episode of Courage was great.

To your topic though, with that logic, all horror movie icons are weak. Even though Jason can kill with his bare hands, he still prefer the machete. I think the weakest icon is Chucky. he's just annoying.

reply

If Jason is so strong then why does he use weapons?

reply

If Jason is so strong then why does he use weapons?

Sometimes he doesn't. But the funny thing no one seems to realize is if people left Jason's territory alone, he might not actually kill anyone.

If you have to ask, you will never understand.

I think the OP has a point. They should create a horror villain who kills people solely by punching them in the head.

That'd be brilliant.

reply

All killers use weapons dumba## lol

reply

I think you are missing the point of horror movies.

Hearing the roar of the chainsaw is supposed to terrify the victims. Plus a chainsaw is difficult to defend against.

The same for Jason and his machete, Freddy K and his knives & glove.

In horror movies it is all about the terror, blood and gore. The more inventive, the better.

Sometimes it can be more terrifying to see the results of the off-screen killing. Check out the ending of the old movie Dementia 13. That last killing is memorable, even if there is no direct view of it.

If it were just about killing, a gun or bomb is more effective.

reply

I love how you adore this movie so much to the point where you would defend this shltty movie when someone criticizes it when NO ONE fvcking likes this movie.

This movie has a 36 on Rotten Tomatoes, a 38 on Metacritic, was nominated for Worst Remake or Sequel by Razzie, and was given a 0/4 stars by Roger Ebert in which he rarely did when he was alive.

This movie is garbage. Anyone who likes this movie has horrible taste.

reply

If this is a reply to me, I am not defending the movie, just making a comment about why killers in horror movies use the types of weapons they do.

My only reason for watching this "movie" is an unhealthy fascination with all things Jessica Biel. 

reply

lol why even reply back to the retard op

reply

Leatherface. Terrible tan, I mean really shiddy. Get a goddam sun at the farm. Keep the chainsaw, maybe lose the overalls. Oliver Peoples glasses, Matsuda suit and tie, Ralph Lauren handkerchief, maybe some Armani shoes. Come f@gg0t, let's get a make over.

Can't, I'm afraid. Matinee of Le Miz. Christ, I'll call you.

reply

What?

reply

He could pick up a wrestler, a martial artist or boxer and throw them from one side of Texas to the other.

reply

Franklin should have told him that. His life might have been spared.
