Peter Griffin is an inferior character to Homer Simpson

"To paraphrase my opponents main arguments: Peter is fatter than Homer Brian Griffin is superior to Santa's Little Helper Cleveland, Quagmire and Joe are more developed than Lenny and Carl Peter is a better fighter than Homer Stewie is a superior baby to Maggie" "Only two of these arguments actually relate to Peter himself, that Peter is fatter and that Peter is a better fighter." This is true, but possessing better friends, family, pets, add on to the peter's perk as the superior character. A good analogy is that having a nice body will further compliment a handsome face. I am saying that while Peter and Homer may have similar values as characters, Peter has far better perks that make him superior. "Only one of these fact can actually be proven; that Peter is fatter and I have already agreed that it is true. However, Homer doesn't need to be fatter. His weight has been at the core of a thousand jokes over the 20 years the show has been running. In the two episodes where Homer did became fatter (that I can think of anyway) it was only used as a tool for even greater jokes, but he returned to his original weight because it is already perfect." I was merely saying that Peter is superior to Homer is obesity. And as the topic at hand is who the superior character is, I think it is relevant to point out that Peter Griffin is superior in his weight. Superior- greater in quantity or amount. Peter's weight qualifies as being superior. http://dictionary.reference.com... "As for the fighting skills, my opponent is incorrect. Put two fighters together, in the UFC for example, one is fitter, has nearly triple the experience and a proven extreme tolerance to pain and injury against someone fatter with less experience who was also mildly retarded. The latter obviously has the odds stacked against him." I have proven that Peter too can take harsh punishment. If you look at my previous argument, and view the videos, you will that peter fell from a building and survived with a few bruises. Furthermore, my opponent has yet to show any resources or videos to verify his claims. As I have said before, experience does not mean you are the better fighter. If that was the case the oldest members of the UFC will always prevail against the younger members, this is not the case. "The rest of my opponents points show that Family Guy has developed certain other characters in the show far more than the Simpsons has, even though the show has been running half the time. This shows that even the creators of Family Guy realise that Peter will always be inferior to Homer." 1.Family Guy has developed certain other characters in the show far more than the Simpsons even though the show has been running half the time 2.This shows that even the creators of Family Guy realise that Peter will always be inferior to Homer I do not see how point 1 verifies point 2. My opponent speaks of family guy having more characters. That does not mean Peter is inferior to Homer. Just because there are more characters in That 70's Show (1998) than Friends (1994), it does not mean that That 70's Show is inferior. http://en.wikipedia.org...'70s_Show http://en.wikipedia.org... "Everything that can be done with a fat, blue collar American cartoon character, has already been done by Homer. Only by taking the character into more adult situations can new jokes be found. This doesn't illustrate that Peter is better, but that Homer is more family friendly. While only older people can enjoy Family Guy, both children and adults can enjoy The Simpsons." But this also does not make Homer better, just the original. At most, it only puts Homer as the equivalent of Peter. Adult situations vs Family-friendly is irrelevant as they both have their pros and cons. Its true both adults and children can enjoy the simpsons, but I, as a young adult, find the adult situations more humorous. "In conclusion, Homer is very clearly better than Peter in everyway." That is a matter of opinion, and I showed you my reasons for why I disagree. "Homer Simpson beat hundreds of cartoon characters who were significantly older than him to take the second spot in the greatest cartoon characters of all time list." I never had the chance to partake in this vote, and furthermore, no sources are given. Furthermore, Family Guy has Adult situations limiting its audience, this does not mean Homer is superior to Peter. I also point out for a second time that, Homer is 10 years older than Peter. "He is a cultural icon who is recognised by people of all ages, all around the world." Recognition does not equal superiority. That would mean Paris Hilton is superior to you. "No matter how much time passes, Peter will never overtake Homer in global appeal. That is why Peter is inferior to Homer." Apparently my opponent can read the future through a crystal ball, and has seen Peter never overtaking Homer in global appeal. Also I remind the audience that this is a debate to see which character is more superior, not which character is globally appealed. Conclusion: Peter Griffin has far superior perks than Homer. Just because Homer was the origin of the "fat, blue-collared, American cartoon character" Does NOT make him superior. I have given my reasons to why Peter is superior, and provided sources to back up my claims. I Thank tvellalott for providing me this opportunity to debate. And leave the rest to the voters.
