Ladies and gentlemen of the internet, I come to you today with one of the most important questions of our time, nay, possibly one of the most important questions of all time. Now, I don’t mean to oversell the importance of this question- but that’s okay, because it would be impossible to oversell it. I wouldn’t say that the fates of galaxies rest on this question- because you will implicitly understand such a fact as soon as you read the question. Think long and carefully before you answer, my friend- this is no simple yes or no question to be answered on a whim.
The question I pose before you today: What late ’90s villain had a better orchestral/choral theme- Sephiroth in Final Fantasy VII or Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace?
I told you it was important.

Maul. While watching Advent Children, there’s the big Sephiroth fight scene at the end. The song has a light-hearted bounce in the middle. It works for when listening in the car, but didn’t quite match the mood in the movie.
Duel of the Fates? I can flail around my living room/library for the entire song.
Fates
Sephiroth
I mean, even the Simpsons know this simple fact.
Check out a “behind the scenes” for the song.
I am sad that the lyrics are not “Rah Sha Sha”. I’ll have to modify how I scare my daughters.
Kor-ah, Mah-tah, Kor-ah, Rah-tah-mah.
Kor-ah, Rah-tah-mah. Yood-hah, Kor-ah.
Kor-ah, Syahd-ho. Rah-tah-mah, Daan-yah. Kor-ah, Kee-lah, Daan-yah.
Nyo-hah, Kee-lah, Kor-ah, Rah-tah-mah. Syahd-ho, Kee-la, Kor-ah, Rah-tah-mah.
Kor-ah, Daa-nyah. Kor-ah, Rah-tah-mah.
Kor-ah, Daa-nyah. Kor-ah, Rah-tah-mah.
Nyo-hah, Kee-lah, Kor-ah, Rah-tah-mah. Syahd-ho, Kee-la, Daan-yah, Rah-tah-mah. Kor-ah!
Maul…seriously, why is this even being asked.
Mike, these are the important questions of our time, and they deserve our full, measured consideration. This is why the internet exists. Questions such as this one are just as important to the future of mankind as wondering who would win in a fight, Wolverine or Spiderman, or as crucial to humanity as a hot dog cannon, and I’m tired of you denigrating important scientific inquiry by suggesting otherwise!
P.S. Wolverine.
I, for one, have been educated about Hot Dog projectiles.
P.S. Spider-sense and mobility.
Spider-sense and mobility would help him escape Wolverine, but beat him? Peter Parker’s got no chance when it comes to hand-to-hand combat with the Canuck, while his ranged weapons are non-lethal and will be easily shredded by adamantium claws. Unless he’s hoping to lead Wolverine on a merry chase and exhaust him, I’d say the webslinger doesn’t have a chance.
Lead him on a chase until Wolverine dies of lung cancer. Do those heal? Probably, since he’s been lighting it up since the 60s.
I think Parker could never kill a fellow hero on purpose. I yield to your wisdom.
