DEATH BATTLE

Stock battle that I don't think has been suggested here yet: Superman vs. Thor: who wins?

I can't recall off the top of my head what Thor's upper bounds were, but I do recall them being ridiculous, so I'd have to give it to him, given Superman's lack of resistance to magic. Unless Superman can outspeed him...

They were destroyed, but he'd probably still get access to them, in the name of putting both characters at their strongest.

They threw down in JLA/Avengers. Supes just barely won, but he was so messed up afterwards, that when every nearby Avenger dog piled him, he apparently couldn't defend himself.

I've never seen the battle myself, but there does seem to be some implication that it could have gone either way (Supes says Thor was the toughest opponent he'd ever fought).

That would still be a good fight, though.

Thor's hammer is apparently magic, so... it would hit Superman just like it would hit Average Joe... That'd be an ouch.

Any good ideas for an opponent for Ryuuko Matoi?

The Guyver? Spawn? Venom?

Guyver and Spawn might work, but not Venom. I take it you haven't watched Kill la Kill?

Just thinking of other characters with sentient/fused suits.

Tigerzord preview is out

Someone needs to tell Boomstick that the cat family's modern larger member taxons are much larger and that much more dangerous than any member of the canid family, extant or extinct.

Clearly, Sabba's ability to speak bird will turn the tide of the battle.

He'll command a bunch of birds to fly to their deaths?

Also, giving this to Tommy cause of this:

Nice little nod of them to use the Dino Thunder theme at the end of the preview.

Well, assuming size and strength are your sole measure for awesomeness.

They did mention that he's been a ranger 5 times. Or more, depending on how you look at it.

5? I only remember 4.

Why does everyone forget he was the Red Turbo Ranger?

Because it's Turbo. I think it's because he passed that power onto someone else early to mid season?

Yeah, I thought so too.

Kinda funny how even though he came later to the team, he ended up being the iconic Power Ranger. People who come into the series late would likely be surprised that he wasn't the leader from the beginning.

Zeo was funny in that he and Jason ended up totally switching places when the later became the Gold Ranger. I never watched enough to remember if that was lampshaded or not.

To that guy who got baked into a pizza. And then became the second best Blue Ranger ever, after the original.

Green MM, White MM, White Ninja, Red Zeo, Red Turbo, Black Dino.

I could never remember either. Then again, I watched very few Zeo episodes, and some were out of order.

I remember when he first received the Gold Ranger powers, Jason specifically told Tommy he was not there to reclaim leadership of the team.

I completely forgot Tommy was ever the Red Turbo Ranger because I remember TJ being the Red Turbo Ranger for most of that show.

Well that makes sense. At that point, most of the old members were gone (I believe Billy stayed on in a support role only), so there was no one left who knew him. All the people part of the team at that point only knew Tommy as the leader.

Or was he saying that as a joke over how Tommy eventually became leader?

I don't remember that being a joke. It felt normal in tone.

Oh.

It should have been actually. That would have been funny.

It's a legitimate concern. When a more seasoned person returns, they usually default back to leadership.
