How is vampires vs. zombies interesting enough to bother with? As long as you don’t give the humans plot-induced stupidity, humans beat zombies every time. Likewise, vampires beat humans. About the only way the zombies could win is by starvation, if they’ve already wiped out all the humans somehow, and zombie blood is undrinkable by vampires.
And for any matchup involving the Iron Giant, you have to specify whether he has his memory intact. He could do some seriously dangerous stuff, once he remembered how.
Joshua has the United States’ nuclear arsenal at it’s disposal and an army of human saps willing to follow it’s directives. It doesn’t have the weakness of empathy, just the intelligence to learn not to play when winning is impossible.
There was a Threadspotted discussion of the very thing a long while ago. I think it may have been before I joined, even. The general consensus was that the Oompas would win.
HAL also has the high ground. Even with all the resources at Joshua’s disposal, I doubt he has anything that can reach above a few hundred kilometers. Granted, it’d also be hard for HAL to strike at Joshua, but give him a decade or two and he’d probably manage to divert an asteroid or the like.
OK, I thought of some more match-ups I’d like to see:
Smaug (The Hobbit) vs. Vermithrax Pejorative (Dragonslayer)
Smaug seems smarter; Vermithrax seems more vicious; I gotta give it to Smaug in a close battle.
**The Saint of Killers (Preacher graphic novels) vs. Death (Supernatural TV series) **
SOK is apparently impervious to physical harm, and his guns always hit their target and each shot is always fatal. But Death is apparently older than God (and will one day reap even Him!) and besides, how can you kill Death anyway? If it comes down to comparing bodycounts, Death wins just for being around so long, plus he would probably take credit for each of SOK’s kills anyway.
Snake Plissken (Escape from NY) vs. The Outlaw Josey Wales
Come on, it’s Clint…Wales wins. “Dyin’ ain’t much of a livin’, Snake…”
**Family Circus family vs. Hi and Lois family
**
I don’t care who wins, I just want them all dead.
