Line #99 WMG/ImAMarvelAndImADC


1	[[WMG:The next Hours arc will focus on Batman.]]
2	Batman, Superman, and Spider-Man are pretty much the main characters of the series at this point. Supes and Spidey have had ''After Hours'' and ''Happy Hour'' respectively, so it stands to reason that the next arc will be Bats-centric.
3	* I don't know; ''Happy Hour'' was pretty Bat-centric, too.
4	** Given all that's happened in Bat-canon recently and [[spoiler: the appearance of Darkseid at the end of 'Happy Hour']], I'm willing to lay money on the odds that the next arc will at least incorporate ''Batman RIP'' and ''Final Crisis''.
5	*** Jossed, Zero Hour actually was mainly about [[spoiler: Green Goblin and Deadpool.]] Doesn't mean the one afterwards won't involve Batman, though.
6
7	[[WMG:Now that Disney owns Marvel Comics, Mickey Mouse will become their new boss, and unleash a ReignOfTerror upon the Marvel Universe.]]
8	We're talking, of course, about the foul-mouthed, fascistic CorruptCorporateExecutive Mickey from the Jonas Brothers episode of WesternAnimation/SouthPark. Since DC is owned by Warner Brothers, Disney's historical competition, the tyrannical Mouse will forbid the Marvel characters from interacting and associating with the DC characters. A new story arc will focus on how they cope with this evil takeover.
9	* Or, it could start like this, only to be subverted with a neat twist showing how everyone believes this will happen, only for Disney to show that it loves superheroes, with a shout-out to the mouse giving Marvel [[WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes a new show]], and a show of UnclePennybags by letting DC stick around as fellow heroes.
10
11	[[WMG:The next comparison videos will cover the area of Marvel and DC that hasn't been mentioned yet: Cartoons]]
12	Bored of just watching movies all the time, the heroes instead decide to watch WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague and [[WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes The Avengers]] and reflect on how their adventures are going on there. The kicker? Next thing you know, a whole slew of those characters will start inviting themselves to Stan's Place, and by the next story arc, we will have a full scale team-up between more than just the core members of the two companies.
13
14	[[WMG: Green Goblin will be the next villain.]]
15	Related to the theory that Batman will be the next superhero because we've gotten Supe and Spidey, we've also gotten a Supe and Spidey villain, and GG has now [[TookALevelInBadass Taken A Level In Badass]] following his fight with the Joker. And yeah, I know they introduced Darkseid at the end, but that could be used to build-up for season 4.
16	* Appears {{Jossed}} for Season 3, although you never know for Season 4. The Randomverse Green Goblin isn't really the BigBad type, though.
17	** And now with [[spoiler:Reboot!Green Goblin]] in the picture, this actually has a better chance of occurring in Season 4.
18
19	[[WMG: The thing Green Goblin was injected with gave him Deadpool's ability to break the fourth wall-including the fact that they're in a web series.]]
20	It would explain why he came up with ending the episode on a cliffhanger scene, and why he seems more nuts than usual.
21	* [[spoiler:Confirmed]] in Zero Hour 3.
22	* Does this mean [[spoiler:Lex also knows he's in a web series]]?
23
24	[[WMG: Zero Hour will eventually turn into a {{Deconstruction}} of the EnsembleDarkHorse trope.]]
25	Green Goblin and Deadpool, the series' two main Ensemble Darkhorses, have gradually gotten more and more screentime, especially in Zero Hours 2 & 3, culminating in [[spoiler:both of them getting sent to the future, AfterTheEnd, instead of Superman]]. This will eventually turn into subtle commentary on just what happens when you let quirky side characters [[SpotlightStealingSquad hijack the plot]] from {{The Hero}}es, just because they are popular.
26	* This seems to be the case so far. When Goblin and Deadpool arrive in the future, Future Lex does not have much hope in them. Not to mention everything that happened in Episode Five... Needless to say, Lex isn't too happy about letting them save the world.
27	** Jossed in the end. It's both [[spoiler:[[MoneyDearBoy sales]] and [[ContinuityReboot the Reboot]]]] that get [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstructed]].
28
29	[[WMG: When Zero Hour starts up again in the Fall of 2010, Deadpool and Goblin will be revealed playing cards or reading comics to pass the time while Lex was just staring in disbelief.]]
30	They both have the power to break the fourth wall and so they might be aware of time that passed. Also, it might serve as a take that to the fans who had been wondering when Zero Hour will start again?
31	* They might do that, but not because the both have the ability to look past the fourth wall. Goblin LOST his ability because of Lex, so now he's just regular Gobby. More than likely, Deadpool would have just asked Goblin to play cards with him and he agreed.
32	* Well, it didn't happen, but Deadpool did at least acknowledge the time passage, saying he waited six months for episode 4.
33
34	[[WMG: Some Bionicle character will make some sort of appearance]]
35	Why? Filler, most likely. Maybe a Bionicle: Mask of Light or Bionicle: The Legend Reborn (yes, I know Mask of light was back in 2003 and The Legend Reborn was 2009. Shut up) Vs. that Direct to DVD Iron Man movie. Why those two? Because both Tahu and Mata Nui sorta look like Iron Man. That, and the Bionicle comics are published by DC.
36
37	[[WMG: ComicBook/SpiderMan's nightmare of his revamp '''[[RunningGag by Sony!]]''' will have at least one HilariousInHindsight moment]]
38	* Creator/RobertPattinson will actually get a role in the new Spiderman movie in an attempt to shed his image as the [[Literature/{{Twilight}} glittering vampire guy]].
39	* The Green Goblin or a variation thereof will be played by either [[Film/TheDarkKnight Christian Bale or Aaron Eckhart]].
40
41	[[WMG: ComicBook/TheFlash will eventually show up in the series.]]
42	And he will play a pivotal role in the arc he appears in, after which he'll become a regular. Meanwhile, one or more of his RoguesGallery will join the villains' bar.
43	* Of course, the only way that'll happen is if they ever happen to actually ''get around to making his movie'', which has been in DevelopmentHell for quite some time. It doesn't help that Ryan Reynolds, who was originally posited for the titular role in the tentative Flash movie, eventually got the starring role in ''Film/GreenLantern2011'' instead.
44	** He gets invited to take part in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=131SDbR47d0&feature=g-all Thanksgiving clip]]. He even does a LampshadeHanging on it.
45	* It WOULD make sense for Flash to be inducted into the regular cast at some point; after all, Wonder Woman's a regular cast member and she doesn't have a live-action movie like Superman, Batman and Green Lantern do.
46	** Flash has been shown in two more recent videos--the video pitching the much-talked-about upcoming ''Justice League'' movie [[spoiler:with Robin John Blake as Batman instead of Bruce Wayne]], and the video showcasing the upcoming "Goku vs. Superman" showdown.
47	** Flash has ''finally'' gotten his own feature video, where he argues with Quicksilver over the advantages or disadvantages [[Series/TheFlash2014 his own series on the CW]] has in contrast to Quicksilver's own [[Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast major]] [[Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron film appearances]]. [[spoiler:Quicksilver's only got one advantage over Flash--the fact that he's got a hot sister in Scarlet Witch--yet he himself doesn't seem to realize it]].
48
49	[[WMG: The presence of ComicBook/GhostRider in the series means there's a chance ComicBook/SpiderMan will [[spoiler:reclaim his memories of his marriage]].]]
50	Considering that [[spoiler:Mephisto is Ghost Rider's chief nemesis]], it's only natural.
51
52	[[WMG: Joe Polachi is actually [[spoiler:ComicBook/TheJoker]]]]
53	* Most definitely confirmed. Seems obvious, really, [[MeaningfulName when you think about it in hindsight.]]
54	* Actually, I've given this some thought, and I have a different interpretation...
55
56	[[WMG: Joe Polachi is [[spoiler:''a'' Joker, but not '''''The''''' Joker]]]]
57	* I'm basing this off of the fact that it was never ACTUALLY confirmed yet if Darkseid [[spoiler: actually killed the Joker]]. There's the probability that [[spoiler: Darkseid just got fed up, and returned the Joker to his reality, yet in the transfer, he was accidently replaced by the [[ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns Frank Miller-style Joker]]]]. Again, I can't stress this enough, '''I haven't read any DC comics'''.
58
59	[[WMG: Lars will betray Lex near the end of the season.]]
60	Because he's that much of a douche. And Spidey likes the hair.
61	* Considering that Lex doesn't ever thank him, and he is obsessed with getting back Lance's head, Lars may feel like TheUnfavorite.
62	** [[spoiler: Confirmed]]
63
64	[[WMG: ComicBook/CaptainAmerica's entrance to the show will be epic!]]
65	* Random Guy seems to hold Captain America above most other superheroes ([[spoiler: after all, it was Captain America who got ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'' of all people out of his HeroicBSOD!]]), so it stands to reason that his formal introduction into the cast will involve something either very [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome heroic]] or very SugarWiki/{{funny\|Moments}}, or both!
66	** Confirmed!
67
68	[[WMG: The Meow Mix in Batman's Pocket Has Something To Do With Catwoman.]]
69	* Suddenly it makes much more sense.
70	** And with Catwoman's upcoming presence in the soon-to-be-released ''The Dark Knight Strikes'', maybe it'll become a ChekhovsGun.
71
72	[[WMG: Joe Quesada will appear in the series as a BigBad.]]
73	This is related to the Ghost Rider WMG above. Since the real-world reason for the events of ''ComicBook/OneMoreDay'' was ExecutiveMeddling on Quesada's part, it will become a plot point in this series, and there's going to be a major calling-out of Quesada by Creator/StanLee himself in-story (with the RealLife TakeThat in the ''ComicStrip/SpiderMan'' newspaper comic strip, where ''ComicBook/OneMoreDay'' got subverted, playing a major role).
74
75	[[WMG: The DC Relaunch is going to be included, or at least, joked about.]]
76	After all, Peter's deal with Mephisto was included as part of the After Hours plot, so it doesn't make sense for a rebooting of the DCU to not be at least mentioned in passing somehow.
77	* Batgirl will show up to help, and someone will ask her "Didn't you use to be crippled?"
78
79	[[WMG: Darkseid has become an OmnicidalManiac]]
80	Darkseid obviously did not take the Joker's revelation well. It seemed like it went so far that Darkseid [[GoMadFromTheRevelation was driven insane]]. Now he wants to destroy all realities in his outrage at being a fictional character.
81	* [[spoiler:Not really. He plans to reveal the fact that comic book characters only exist for their companies' sales and can be rebooted at any time if they affect the companies' bottom line, and by said revelation he aspires to rob the heroes of willpower to do anything further or even to oppose him]].
82	--> ''[[spoiler:The logic of the reboot is the TRUE Anti-Life Equation]]''.
83
84	[[WMG: ComicBook/RedSkull will show up as a future BigBad]]
85	With ComicBook/CaptainAmerica being a regular face in the series now that he's gotten two live-action appearances and several animated movie appearances up to this point, it's pretty much inevitable. Thing is, though, when the Skull appears, one of two things will happen: (1) He'll be how we all know him to be, and possibly even worse for this series; or (2) he'll be made somewhat LighterAndSofter, kind of like how Green Goblin's been made more [[LargeHam hammy]] and lovably AxCrazy as opposed to how he is in the comics [[spoiler:as recently lampshaded by Darkseid]].
86
87	[[WMG:The next BigBad will be a Marvel]]
88	The first three seasons all had DC villains for the BigBad. ComicBook/LexLuthor, ComicBook/TheJoker, and then Darkseid. Marvel is due a supervillain by this point. ComicBook/RedSkull would be a reasonable option, but Galactus would also work. I don't know if there's an Ultron toy out there, but it would possibly make a good choice too. Regardless, the Marvel universe is due to toss out a villain with big plans for Stan's Place.
89	** Or, considering his role in the films, Loki could be the next BigBad.
90	** Or, since he's been a recurring threat for so long, Doctor Doom could finally have his go. After all, who better to finally give Marvel villains a chance to shine then the guy who formed the second LegionOfDoom with the other villains.
91
92	[[WMG: ''Mephisto'' will the BigBad of Season 4.]]
93	Zero Hour de-constructed the idea of MoneyDearBoy. Given how ComicBook/OneMoreDay is arguably the single most hated and injuring incident in comic books, Season 4 will deal with the problem of ExecutiveMeddling. Mephisto will be a powerful and dark figure, but unlike Darkseid he'll be completely aware about being a fictional character. He will be EvillerThanThou to Darkseid(possibly demoting him to TheDragon), who can't simply be broken by the idea that he's fictional or even an action figure. His motive? Use ExecutiveMeddling and CharacterDerailment to kill a character at the meta-fictional level. He will utilize "enforcers" who [[DealWithTheDevil trick characters]] or [[MoreThanMindControl alter their minds]] to become derailed versions of their regular selves. For example, Mephisto would bring Batman's parents back and let him have a happy family, which will lead to him becoming [[ComicBook/AllStarBatmanAndRobinTheBoyWonder Crazy Steve.]] The ultimate objective will be for the audience to abandon their heroes, [[OmnicidalManiac destroying the medium itself.]]
94	* BigBad-[[{{Satan}} Mephisto.]] Mephisto has come to realise that the only way to truly kill off a character is to make them completely unrecognisable. With this, he can slaughter the heroes and thus finally take over comic books. Or maybe [[ForTheEvulz he's just sadistic]], and wants both the characters and [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou readers]] to suffer.
95	* TheDragon-Darkseid. Zero Hour's BigBad, he's fallen through the DespairEventHorizon. Realising he can never win, Darkseid will opt [[SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum for destroying everything he can.]] He will use his mind control powers to corrupt those that don't make a DealWithTheDevil
96	* TheBrute-[[ComicBook/DeadpoolKillsTheMarvelUniverse Dreadpool.]] Also will be TheStarscream so he can kill off non-comic media
97	* TheEvilGenius-The Joker, who will also be TheStarscream
98	** A fun concept. My question, minor though it may be, is who would be the main protagonist this go around? Superman was for ''After'', Spider-Man in ''Happy'', and Goblin in ''Zero''. Who would hold the biggest connection to ExecutiveMeddling to provide the needed {{Reconstruction}}?
99	*** [[spoiler:Probably Deadpool. [[Film/XMenOriginsWolverine "Dude-peel,"]] anyone?]].
