Rickman or Irons?

Bigger bad-ass Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber in Die Hard or Jeremy Irons as Simon Gruber in Die Hard with a vengeance?

Things to consider: The question is about the Die Hard Trilogy, so I'd rather not see the line "At least I didn't use a spoon" (Robin Hood Prince of Thieves) as a justification for choosing Rickman, or anything about Irons voicing the part of Scar in the Lion King.

Yesterday's: First off, Caitlin is automatically disqualified because she chose someone who still has such a thing as good outings and because she this was a sports question and she doesn't have a penis. That said, even as much as I loathe Lindros, I've gotta go with those who said Favre, and here's my rationale. 1. Lindros is not currently ruining his team and stopping them from moving forward. 2. I will never choose Lindros as a winner for anything

Monty: Hands down, Brett Favre.
If he could, that man would play until he needed a halfback to push him around in a wheelchair. He was MVP three consecutive years, but the last time was in 1997, which is also the last time he got the Pack to the Super Bowl--10 YEARS AGO!
He's third on the all-time wins list for QB's, trailing Elway by 9.
If he can produce one more .500+ season to take the sop spot, he should retire on top. If he can't make .500, the Pack needs to look for someone who can.

Nick: I'm picking the gunslinger. For years, NFL announcers and reporters have lined up to slobber at the feet of Brett Favre. Throws into triple coverage that get picked off aren't bad throws, they show how competitive he is and what a gunslinger he is. They never mention that this is a man who doesn't have the arm he used to, and because of that, is now a mediocre at best QB because he never thought the position like guys like Brady or Manning do. He's just a southern retard who used to have a great arm.

Then they say the Packers have to do more to help him, when he chased away Javon Walker, who's pretty damn good, by talking about how Walker needed to end his holdout and get to camp. The media tripped over each other to kiss his ass about that, while never calling him out for his juvenile, maybe I'll retire, maybe I won't hostage-holding act over the Pack in the offseason.

Favre's a bitch who's gotten way too much of a pass, and his ass needs to stay in Mississippi.

As much as I love Jeremy Irons, I'm gonna go with Rickman. He has way better lines AND he gets to wear really nice suits. Plus, I think his voice is about an octive lower than Irons, which automatically gives him villain bonus points.
