beer_good_foamyIf we're talking about crossovers, half the fun is coming up with the basic idea; what if Character X and Character Y were to perform action Z, what would happen?
Here's a bunch of ideas of that sort, which I'm sure aren't going to lead to anything, but which I'd still like people's opinion on. And I'm not telling you which character is from which fandom either, because I'm just like that. Just go with your gut feeling here, and feel free to add further thoughts, questions or just general insults in the comments.

- The idea of the poll is for people to pick the one who fits the description and single out the one who didn't. Well spotted, sir.
- Captain Hammer is a deliberate subversion of the good hero role which the others play straight (or doubly subverted in the Middleman's case). Thus, his inclusion is intended to cast doubt on the trope itself.
- Considering Dr Horrible's stated purpose of being evil, and his subsequent success, trying to stop him might be considered by some to be a redeeming feature. Hammer is clumsy, reckless, doesn't care about others... but is he evil? Deep down in places we don't talk about at parties, don't we want him on that wall? Don't we need him on that wall?
- Nooooo! He's just misunderstood!1!!eleven!
- What do you have against Lucky Luke?

Date: 2009-01-18 02:20 am (UTC)Veronica is severely schizo and it's been her behind every murder all along - she's just too psycho to admit it. It would explain her Mary Sue tendencies, the weird are-they-real-ghosts-or-just-hallucinations things with Lily and that dream scene on the bus, the numerous off-screen deaths (Veronica blacks out when she murders people), the easy way she adapts fake personalities, her ease in manipulating others to do what she wants, the "alternate ending" to that episode where Meg dies in the hospital, the way people can be her best friend one day and completely forgotten the next... All along, we've been seeing what SHE believes happens rather than what actually happens. Unreliable narrator. And as she goes increasingly insane, the show becomes increasingly incoherent. Remember that scene where Keith tells her there is no doubt that he's her father? Well, that's just Veronica hallucinating. What he actually says is "Veronica... your real father is a man named Patrick Bateman."

Date: 2009-01-17 03:15 pm (UTC)And no way has Captain Hammer "not an evil bone in his body" - he may not be wholly evil, but his personal brand of smug is a new evil all to itself.
I would so love to see a showdown between Jackie Tyler and Joyce Summers (but she has to be allowed her fireaxe.)

And really, in a drinking contest, is there anyone besides Bernard Black? He wouldn't think of it as a contest. He'd call it a Tuesday night.

And I would laugh so hard if Dutch caught Dexter. He'd have to fall into it.
Finally: Tee hee!

Date: 2009-01-18 06:42 am (UTC)- I started to go with CJ Cregg, because I love her to pieces, but Fred/Kelly is just too delicious to resist!
- What, no het couples -- not even Spike and Xena? ;D
- Not sure of all of the fandoms, but I think Carmella is too pat as momma bear. Then I read the next list and had an image of an AU where Joyce is alive, and she and Wesley have to rescue the Scoobies.
- The trick with House is to get him intrigued. It wouldn't even have to be a medical emergency if you pique his interest.
- Had to guess at Death.

That's exactly why I would never pick him in an emergency, and I'm surprised that so many people did. Sure, if you've, say, been bitten by a rare South American bug that only existed for three weeks ten years ago and it gave you a completely unique form of
lupussome already rare disease, then House is your man. But if you've suffered an ordinary boring accident or illness, he won't give a damn.Re: Rather Random Comments on a Pointless Poll (sounds like a crack!ode)
