I'll just paraphrase this...

"Dr. Strange would win because he earned his powers."

That's the dumbest reason for such a claim. No, no...it's not the fact that Doctor Strange maybe more proficient in his magic capabilities, or perhaps he's more flexible without the Eye of Agammotto. But none of that matters since, well...according to your strange logic, "x character would win because he earned it."

Weird answer and dare say absurd.

Ok let me elaborate for you. People who earn things opposed to just having it bestowed on them have more experience they are better at adapting to different situations and creating more favorable outcomes. Not to mention earning it usually means better mastery better control. You're less likely to panic when things aren't going your way, you learn how to make weaknesses into strengths. Sorry next time I'll be sure to spell it out better.
 
Dr. Fate wasn't granted those powers. He was chosen by Nabu and was trained to be heavily proficient with such responsibilities. You need to read up on the characters before you make a generalization. The wiki page on Dr. Fate is a perfect source of his history. So yes, Dr. Fate has earned his keep to be part of the legacy of people.

But, your argument does not imply that Dr. Strange would automatically win. You'd have to factor in their feats, strengths, weaknesses. That's like saying Goku should win against Superman because "he's acquired and earned new powers"...when it's clearly not the case, obviously.

And earning doesn't always translate to better mastery since, earning is never truly merit based at all. Some who are gifted and don't have to work as hard can still achieve the same results, if not, better and at a much better, proficient rate.

Yes and no. I've noticed that really talented people who things come easy for usually crack under pressure. Great example is Lebron James probably the most physically gifted basketball player I've ever seen but a lot times falls apart mentally when things don't go his way.
I think its all about character building but I digress. I was speaking in relation to the video that was posted.
 
I cannot comment on Lebron James since I don't follows sports (as they bore the hell out of me), but I do see where you are coming from. But is it attributed to just being gifted or did he train as hard as say, Michael Jordan, to achieve the success he has? Or...maybe with this person, being a person of physical activity, he's just simply not able to think through things in a multifaceted way? Not all highly skilled or gifted players don't think in a single line. Many could approach answers in multiple ways. Perhaps you are thinking about how failure could lessen the morale of that person.

I was quite pleased to see this show get a second season pickup by the CW.

Her character's self righteousness bugs the fuck out of me though. She judges every other zombie yet fails to see how easy she has it working in morgue where she gets all the brains she wants so she's not forced to do some of the more unpleasant stuff the others have to do
 
Keegan-Michael Key Has Learned That He And Dwayne McDuffie Were Half Brothers

[YOUTUBE]A6NQtxABL-M[/YOUTUBE]

Comedian Keegan-Michael Key is an comedian best known for his sketch show Key & Peele, working on MADtv and appearing in the series Playing House. He’s also been in Fargo, Parks And Rec and more.

Talking on the You Made It Weird podcast (embedded above), Keegan talked about his family history, as an adopted child, and tracing his late biological father’s family and finding that he had two half-brothers who had also passed away, one aged 45 and one 49.

One who he described as having worked at DC Comics and Marvel Comics and for Warner’s Animation department, especially responsible for bringing characters of colour on-screen, and who died in 2011.

That’s Dwayne McDuffie, folks. Co-founder of Milestone, co-creator of Damage Control, Ben 10, and the man who put Jon Stewart as Green Lantern in the animated Justice League, who died when he was 49.

Interesting theory but I disagree
Neo for one changed the Matrix by challenging life and death itself, not only with himself but with Trinity.
I will go on but I want to see what others say first

Could you clarify your point a bit more? I love talking about this stuff. No one else I know does.

lol me too
The video says that Neo never changed the Matrix but by actually being the first to not only control life and death (his own resurrection and saving Trinity) he also defied the very laws of physics, he changed the system to suit his needs by at first moving his digital body so fast he couldn't be hit by bullets to eventually stopping them with thought all together. They also said he wasn't born in the Matrix every consciousness born with plugs was essentially born in the matrix especially if you have no other experiences other than the matrix.
He also proves himself to be the one since he is a singular entity not copied versions of a single entity like Smith not to mention his sacrifice is what ultimately ended the war because without the war would have continued.
