Jack Bauer vs. [Jaguar Paw](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocalypto). Who takes more damage and defeats the odds?

I know who Jack Bauer is, but I don’t know _who_ he is because I’ve never seen 24. On the other hand, I heart **Jaguar Paw** with all of it. He’s gentle, funny and deeply loves his wife and child, is fiercely protective of them, and will fight through pain and danger to save them. He’s brave, clever, and tenacious. Cute as hell too. **Jaguar Paw** was my favorite movie character from last year.

I haven’t seen _Apocolypto_, but Jack Bauer has a gun. Isn’t that how the Mayans lost the first time around?
