Marsters Macbeth vs. Tennant Hamlet: the Cage Match.

[fenderlove]

Who would win in a fight between David Tennant's Hamlet and James Marsters's Macbeth? Both are psycho-go-nuts, both would be portrayed by classically trained actors. Tennant has the Royal Shakespeare Company backing him, but Marsters has the Shakespeare fanboi fervor. One doesn't wear shoes, and the other only wears t-shirts and jeans. One never gets laid, and the other has a sexy, supportive domme of a wife. They both see ghosts, but Macbeth tries to punch his in the face while Hamlet cries to his mum. One of them is a Dane- ten points automatically deducted from Hufflepuff (no offense to any real Danes; I've just been watching too much Metalocalypse). Oh, it would be a match-up for the ages. XD

Go buy David Tennant's Hamlet on DVD at Target for $15. It is worth the sticker price just to see him duct-taped to a chair squeeing "Wheeeee!" as he's rolled about. XD

If it was cracking under the pressure at twenty paces - Hamlet
Kicking the shit out of a ghost - Macbeth
wringing the last bit of angst out of a scene - DT
Truly believe he's a good guy gone bad because he really honestly thinks he's doing the right thing - JM
wanting to take him home and put him in footy pajamas and tuck him into bed - DT
wanting to take him home and do unrepeatable things to him - JM

They're too old now but I would have loved to see them in Romeo and Juliet. JM would have been a wonderfully earnest Romeo and DT would have kicked as Mercutio. Although they would rock Julius Caesar as well *swoons*

... but I sorta want to do that to JM too. :D

I think I remember a long time ago, when BtVS was still on the air, a British magazine poll tried to find out who should play the next R&J. James got Romeo, and Kiera Knightly got Juliet. XD Now I want to see the "Slightly Older People's Amended Version of Romeo and Juliet." John Barrowman or Gareth David Lloyd can be Juliet. XD

There would be no footy pj's if James was in my bed that's for damn sure!

Awww, don't tell me that you wouldn't give him cookies and a cuddle if he looked up at you with those big baby blues...

*looks at your icon* And after he has a snack, he can do the hip wriggle thing all about the bedroom. XD

there would be candy if he'd been a good boy.

I earned so many awesome points from my lit professor for informing him Tenant's Hamlet would be coming to DVD. His sci fi geek, anglophile geek, and literature geek kinks were hit all at once, I guess.

It's a good version of the play. I like how it was filmed, and DT was a very active Hamlet. XD
