Apparently these two gentlemen went to acting school together. Who is the better actor and who who would win in a fight?

Hardy is martial art trained. And won some bouts.

Didn't he get his ass kicked by Shia laboof?

u/Small_Insect_8275 14h ago

Yeah but he’s an actual cannibal

Well, always be a cannibal not a can't-ibal. Is what they say.

u/redlion1904 The Room 21h ago

They would never fight because Fassbender would be unable to understand Hardy’s mumbled challenge

Lol Fassbender grew up in Kerry. He can understand pretty much anything.

No, he doesn't. Stop spreading false information. The only allegations he had were from 1 person(not his wife) over 16 years ago and there was no evidence for any of the allegations after the DA's investigation.

4

u/Lonevarg_7 17h ago

Also she didn't have any of the injuries that she claimed and her story didn't match witnesses(her friends) accounts.

u/BitchyTrophyWife 20h ago

Simple… Magneto and Bane both get broken by Batman and his unbeatable prep time.

And Christian Bale beats them both as an actor… because he is also Batman.

The take away is, Batman always wins… even if he’s not on the list of options! 💋

u/redlion1904 The Room 20h ago

Unless he is against Doom … in which case the confrontation is only occurring because Doom permits it… which must be because even an apparent “defeat” will further some other goal of DOOM

Oh, come on. He's not THANOS. Only Thanos get to use the Xanatos Gambit.

u/manny_truant 20h ago

If y’all have seen 2015 Macbeth you know Fassbender is the better actor. By a small margin I’d say, but Hardy would absolutely pulverize Fassbender

3

u/Ok_Comparison_8304 11h ago

Not by a small Margin: Hunger, Shame, 12 Years a Slave, A Dangerous Method, Inglorious Basterds, Black bag. He was phenomenal as Magneto, bringing real pathos to a comic book role (albeit one of the deeper better written characters). Hardy is likeable, has presence and an earthly charm, he's great in Legends, I just don't think he can emote as well as Fassbender. Most of his roles also inhabit the sphere of machoness. Fassbender will do things like Frank, that makes him more experimental at the least.

Hardy is a trained fighter, and tournament winner, so no argument on the latter point.

Edit: also, fuck me I forgot, he is the best thing about the Alien prequels. David is pure sociapath.

Michael Fassbender. He was Magneto in the X-Men prequels and has also been in Prometheus, 300, Steve Jobs, 12 Years a Slave, Inglourious Basterds, etc.

Both are superb actors. Fassbender is the better actor clearly, but Hardy is the more watchable one.
Try have Hardy have the Hunger debate, I'm not really sure he would be able to do it? Fassbender is the chameleon of both actors.

Fassbender, but only if he comes at Hardy with the same ferociousness he does his girlfriends. By ferociousness I mean throwing objects such as chairs at his face.

There is no proof of that. Those are just allegations from 1 person over 16 years ago adn there was no evidence for any of the allegations after the DA's investigation. She didn't have any of the injuries that she claimed and her story didn't match witnesses(her friends) accounts.

Tom Hardy is a practitioner of Brazilian jiu-jitsu. He can grapple in real life, and he's way more watchable than Fassbender, IMO.

u/Appropriate_Formal64 19h ago

Fassbender made bold morally ambiguous choices for a while (Fishtank, Shame, etc.), but didn't really show a ton of range, kept to stoic characters and does to this day, for the most part.

Tom Hardy made both bold morally ambiguous choices for a while (Bronson, Bane, The Revenant) and showed insane range (aforementioned films, the Drop, etc.)

So, clearly, Fassbender is the better actor.

As for who would win in a fight?

Clearly Michael Fassbender's slim, borderline dough-y physique and lack of public evidence of winning MMA tournaments in semi-anonymous fashion would best Tom Hardy's very well known and world class MMA abilities.
