Please. This is like asking if Liberace is more macho than Barry Manilow

More like asking if early Elton is more macho than Liberace.
At least the Tinman had an axe and even used it. And could sing and dance and toot his hat. And helped free Dorothy.
C3PO just whined. A lot. A WHOLE lot, complete with cows, lawnmower included. And accomplished nothing of his own doing.
You know, thinking back now, I don't think C3PO even needed to be in the movies at all. He added nothing except translating. That could've been accomplished other ways. I can't recall one thing he did to move the story. All I can remember is how much he irritated the snot out of me, even as a little kid.
Point--Tinman

OK, I just gotta throw in a vote for "R2D2"... Never been all THAT hot over Roddy McDowalll... or the tin dude...LOL!Despite his (it's)? cute, chirpy tweets (which remind me of my very NOT macho little girly cat, "Inky") old R2 could seriously kick some butt... Drop him in one of those fighters and it was "Katy bar the door" for the bad guys! I can almost... (almost...) picture a futuristic John Wayne, with R2 plugged into the south end of a nuclear Star-Wars robot horse, growling: "Yeah, THAT'S my pal, R2D2. You got a PROBLEM with that, pilgrim?"  Between the two, I have to agree with Kat... Leo in Texas "Keep yer' teeth..."

Yeah Leo, R2 didn't bother me nearly as much. I think the only reason I didn't care much for him was the first movie he was stuck with C3. But then R2 actually did stuff, and without him there'd be a void in the movies. Meanwhile, where'd Roddy McDowell come into this from? He was in Planet of the Apes, not the flying monkey. Besides that I LIKE most of Roddy's roles that I've seen. Don't you be dissin' on my Roddy, buddy-boy.  >'Kat |

So sorry to dis your man! I thought he did play at least the "voice" of C3PO... OK... I agree: He DID make a pretty appealing ape. Hot enough to keep Charlton Heston from stealing his gal-ape-with-benefits anyway. Not too shabby! EEEWWW!I'm still with ya on the Tin-Man... He sorta reminds me of a steel-body Stella scoot, with feet and an ax! And bad rings. Leo |

Leo, are you thinking of adding an ax-mount to Minnie Mouse? Egads! Remind me not to get too close to you on the roads!  Never thought of this before, I wonder what it was like kissing with the ape makeup? And Anthony Daniels played C3PO including his voice. Whiney as it was. I guess I could live with that on my resume, considering how well it probably paid (and still pays) the bills. >'Kat |

I gave mine to C-3PO anyways. After all, the tin man only had to deal with an old witch and some flying monkeys....(Hmm, how much did you have to drink?) While C-3PO had to deal with Imperial Stormtroopers, while being filmed in the REAL desert on location and not some air-conditioned Hollywood studio.

Kat,
Oops... Thought it was Roddy. I'm getting old! Nope, no ax-mount on Minnie Mouse. Don't need it so long as my licensed .45 is in the back of my jeans
 Like they say: "God made men. Sam Colt made 'em equal." When it comes to "mouses" I'm not so sure... LOL! As for kissin' in monkey-drag, my mind won't even go there... EEEWWWWW! Just glad she wasn't a French Poodle!  Ride safe... Stay "ape-free"...Leo |

They were both pretty ummm well wimpy.... I mean, goin on about "if I only had a heart" is not exactly macho. Then of course C3-PO didn't exactly have a macho walk-- it's kind of like asking which member of the village people was the most macho.

Oh well, I will just have to do a bonus more macho now. |
