I’ve been enjoying Deadliest Warrior on Spike lately, and recently they announced an episode featuring Vampires vs. Zombies (not as a regular type of thing, of course)! I was thinking of some matchups I would like to see on the show (or at least handled in a similar manner) and came up with these: \*\*Joshua (WarGames) vs. HAL (2001) \*\* My pick: HAL; Joshua is powerful but just too childlike to take down the clever HAL. \*\*Norse Pantheon vs. Greek Pantheon \*\* Tough to call, but I’d give it to the Norse with Loki giving them the necessary X-factor to win. \*\*Yahweh vs. Brahman \*\* Yahweh killed pretty much the whole world. Easy one to pick there. \*\*The Iron Giant vs. Voltron \*\* Voltron’s ability to split into multiple Lionbots wins the day. \*\*Hannibal Lector vs. Morimoto (Iron Chef style, secret ingredient: Long Pig!) \*\* Morimoto’s dishes are better tasting, but tragically, Hannibal kills and devours the Chairman and judges before a verdict is reached. Thoughts? Any matchups you would like to see? ---
