Justice League -
Posted: Mon Nov 06, 2017 6:57 pm
So, Justice League is coming out soon, and I'm not sure what to think about that. I had mixed feelings about Man of Steel. I hated Batman v. Superman. I loved Wonder Woman. So how this movie goes is anyone's guess. I'm hoping for something that finally feels like an Avengers film with DC characters, and some of the action scenes look decent at least. That said, I'm already annoyed with how the Flash is like an even nerdier Peter Parker wearing this heavy armored costume while allegedly being a speedster. I'm also not digging Cyborg looking like a human-sized Michael Bay Transformer, but we'll see how that goes.
Mostly, tho, this is an excuse to re-post this old nugget from the Ronin Army forums:
And now, a hypothetical fight between the Marvel Cinematic Universe Avengers, and the DC Cinematic Universe Trinity.
*Thor and Superman are trading punches back and forth, until one punch sends Thor flying through a building. Thor sees the building is about to collapse, and that there are people still inside it, so he flies back to the damaged section and supports it himself to give the people time to evacuate. Superman blinks in surprise as Captain America interposes himself between Superman and Thor, shield up, ready to defend his teammate*
Superman: "What's he doing?"
Capt. America: "Who?"
Superman: "Your friend with the hammer. He's left himself completely exposed to attack. Why?"
Capt. America: *blinks in surprise* "He's . . . he's supporting the building."
Superman: "I can see that. But WHY is he doing it?"
Capt. America: "So that the building won't collapse."
Superman: "I don't follow."
Capt. America: *exasperated* "So if won't FALL on anyone! So the people inside can GET OUT SAFELY!"
Superman: *lightbulb goes on* "Oh! OOOOHHHHHHHHHH! I get it now! If you break stuff during a super-fight, it could fall or fly and hurt someone!"
Capt. America: *still exasperated* "YES."
Superman: "Wait, so you mean when I was punching Zod through buildings without checking them with my X-Ray Vision first, people were getting killed?"
Capt. America: "Probably. That skyscraper you dropped in the streets didn't help anything either."
Superman: "Oh. Wow, no wonder so many people were pissed at me. I need to tell this to Batman and Wonder Woman, this could do a lot to help our image."
*both turn to see Batman driving the Batmobile through the streets, cackling like a madman, running cars off the road, sending them flying into buildings, dragging several cars behind him on tow-cables, and intentionally driving at pedestrians*
Batman: "MARTHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Capt. America: "I think it's too late for that."
