Now vs. Then

Now vs. Then, like War of the Nerds, is a comparison battle. In this battle, Lunatic takes something old and nostalgic and compares it to a more recent remake. Until recently, his battles had more than five categories.

Spectacular Spider-Man vs. Amazing Spider-Man
The Insane Critic compares "Spectacular Spider-Man" (2008-) and "Amazing Spider-Man" (1995-1998). Though in honor of his brother's twentieth birthday, he lets Dimensiondude do the comparison.

 * Supporting Cast (Spectacular wins)
 * Villains (Amazing wins)
 * Action (Spectacular wins)

Ocarina of Time vs. Twilight Princess
The Insane Critic compares "Ocarina of Time" (1998, E) and "Twilight Princess" (2007, T).

Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol"
The Insane Critic compares two different takes on "A Christmas Carol": one from the eighties with George C. Scott and the recent remake starring Jim Carrey.


 * Scrooge (Scott version wins)


 * Supporting Cast (Scott version wins)


 * Past (Scott version wins)


 * Present (Carrey version wins)

The Insane Critic states that the Carrey version wasn't bad and that he just liked the Scott version a bit more for simplicity and nostalgia.
