The reason for this is simple. Arnie is now a politician and no longer a physical threat, I can hardly see Arnie talking marcus to death unless he has an extreme case of halatosis but i think Marcus is more suspect of this. Screw Ink Grenades Marcus could breath on opponents.Last edited on Tue 21 April 2009 by Karlius

This LAST ACTION HERO who possesses TOTAL RECALL, would be focussed like a PREDATOR to erase Marcus Fenix without care for COLLATERAL DAMAGE.
Fenix would be a RUNNING MAN against Arnold who would hunt him down until THE END OF DAYS.
Upon capture, Arnold would pick Fenix up with 1 finger like he was a JUNIOR and dropkick him into the RED HEAT of the sun.
SIMPLE

In the Blue corner we have Arnold "Arnie" "Austrian Oak" "Conan the Republican" "The Governator" Swarznegger. After serving his mandatory one year in the Austrian Army he went on to conquer the world as arguably the greatest bodybuilder who ever lived. Not satified with that he went to Hollywood to make his name in the movies, and began his career with the now lengendary titles Hercules and Conan. Since then he has been a bad cyborg, a good cyborg, a spy, a teacher, an icicle and a governor. Arnie is the ulitmate, he is real, and there is simply no stopping him.
Fenix wins coz Arnie smoked too much. Remember this kids, smoking is bad for you.

The Schwarzenegger cabinet, seeing their leader on the dire straits, would begin a campaign of slander against Marcus, his family, and all of gears of war. Tabloids suddenly fly off the shelves with such eye catching titles as:
"Fenix killed my father and raped my mother! - shocking truth of one young locust's desperate home struggle"
"Fenix: Abusive Father of 2"
"Marcus couldn't satisfy me in bed - Mrs. Fenix tells all!"
Over the next few days, Fenix's wife leaves him (for Baird), Dom is killed in a freak gliding accident, the child locust sues him for every penny he owns, and a pigeon craps on his head. Also he gets HIV. No one knows why.
Broken hearted Marcus, marcus sheds a single tear. The first tear of his life. However, given everything those eyes had seen over his life - that one tear was so dense that it smashed through the stone table on which Marcus and Arnie are wrestling, momentarily giving Marcus the edge back.
Marcus grabs the lancer and piledrives the chainsaw end through Arnies chest, just as Arnie reaches fot the Eraser gun, which shoots clean through the lancer and Marcus.
Both desperately wounded, Marcus turns to Arnie and says
"Why are we fighting?"
"I dooooont knooooow, we are twooooooo peas in the saaame pod"
At which point, a predator and locust (who have found love together) walk past, laugh mockingly, and head-stomp both heroes into the ground.
Who wins between Arnie and Marcus? TERRORISM WINS!
Dun Dun DUUUUUUUUUUHHHHH!

Even though he's a little older these days, sagging in unusual places, he's still out there fighting (crime, pollution, humvee petrol prices). Despite his age, I think Arnie could take on Marcus Fenix and win - simply because Marcus always needs help from his friends to fight his battles.

Night, external ruined city street. Visible signs of damage from Locust everywhere.
A blast of electricity erupts and there stands Arnie as The Terminator, butt naked. He spots a pimp walking past.
"EI NEEED YOUR CLOTHES" He says in a thick Austrian accent.
"No way man, you Motherplucker, get your own threads."
Arnie rips the man's head from his shoulders and takes the purple hat from his head.
"Nice Hat. Hasta la Vista Pimpy."
Meanwhile Marcus is travelling with a bunch of his team to the scene of the disturbance.
"Ah, Hell. I thought we'd got rid of those damn locust."
"Sir, it looks like something else. Something...Naked..."
"Lock and Load brothers. We've got some ass bustin' to do."
Arnie turns to see a bunch of heavily armoured testosterone fuelled army types heading his way. He walks towards them, bullets bouncing off him.
“ARE YOU JOHN CONNAAR?” He asks, holding up one of the grunts by the neck.
Marcus scratches his head.
“What the fluck did he just say? Can anyone understand this guy?”
“No sir, he seems to be speaking in some foreign accent.”
“I’M LOOKING FOR JOHN CONNAAR” insists the still overly Austrian accented Arnie as he tears through the guts of another 2 soldiers.
“Damn, this guy is hard. We’d better get the big guns.” Says Marcus leaning into the back of his truck. “Lucky I had this Lightmass Bomb with me.”
The other soldiers look worried as Marcus takes the bomb out. Arnie walks nearer.
One of Fenix’s men turns to him. “Sir, how the hell are we going to get clear of that thing?”
“It’s all under control.” Says Fenix as he presses a button and the sound of a copter can be heard.
Arnie is almost on them now and Marcus runs forward and hands him the bomb.
“Have a blast, Flocker!” He shouts as a winch makes contact with his arm and the team are pulled to safety.”
Arnie looks down at the bomb. “Oh Fu….”
External Night scene, huge crater, zoom in to Arnie’s crushed head and a fading red light in his eye.
“I’ll be baccccccccc…”
Marcus Wins. Fade to Black.Last edited on Fri 24 April 2009 by pblive

A.) Fictional.
B.) See A.
It is clearly going to be a close thing. However, Marcus does have a trick or two up his sleeve. As Arnie closes in to deliver a massive punch, Marcus stands completely still and lets it happen. It doesn't affect him in the slightest. Again, Arnie swings. Again, Marcus just totally ignores it. Arnie is confused as to why he can't actually hit Marcus at all, despite the man just standing there to take it all.
Suddenly, from nowhere, Arnie finds himself down. A voice comes from out of the ether :
"Host advantage."
Game to Fenix.
