    Not let one of an extremely few major feature films to star a systemically and historically oppressed minority be premised on the notion that the only way someone of said ethnicity can be "heroic" is if they are a clownish, drunken, jerk.

    I hate you.

    There's no chance in hell any movie/TV version of Batman beats Hancock. NONE. Baleman is what - going to plug into every bluetooth? That's about his most impressive feat. And even then he needs Morgan Freeman to help him do it. Nope. The Hancock hate ends here. And we all going to AA to celebrate.

    Dobby takes down the Terminator.

    Buffy loses because dp4m tried to make a Kyrie Irving joke.

    Why does Alia have to soil herself fighting such a peasant? This really isn't appropriate.

    Star Trek the Next Generation is the kind of show that I am 90% sure had a Christmas episode, in which case he has already canonically lost to the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come.

    Right, three should be straightforward -- I could make a reasonable argument for Ethan Hunt vs. Wolverine, but it's unnecessary since I'm going to win in any case -- so we'll assume (?) Ethan loses, Star-Lord wins, and Dredd wins. So, really, the only fight of note is Alia/Christmas Future vs. Picard. Judges please let me know if you think this is in error (PRENNTACULAR since heels is Honey Badger).

    Wocky is correct about something, at least theoretically: Captain Picard has experienced A Christmas Carol, but not in the way he thinks and not in the way that would be beneficial to him.

    All Good Things... -- one of the greatest series finales of all time -- is this episode, and Q is all of the ghosts. You all remember Q, right? An immortal, omnipotent being -- much more powerful than individual phantoms -- shows Picard his past, present, and future all for the sake of saving mankind. Mankind, literally, was his business. He has also fully experienced dealing with all of his past regrets.

    Q Helping Picard To Deal With His One Supposed "Regret" ("Tapestry")



    Picard Having The Family He Never Thought He'd Have ("The Inner Light")



    Picard Shown His Perfect "Other Life" And Giving It Up For Duty (Star Trek Generations)



    Picard Experiencing The End Of His Christmas Carol / Expanding His Mind ("All Good Things...")



    The Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come holds no power over Picard, a decent and honorable man.

    Which leaves only Alia Atraides, Abomination and Harkkonen-spawn. Who, if memory serves, fights primarily with a crysknife?

    Picard's got a phaser. Also, they're in an office setting -- you think Alia's ever seen an "office?"

    tl, dr Picard Starship Mine's her and takes the win.

    Yes, but unless Dwight (possible) or someone keeps one in the office, there's not one laying about... I argue within the confines of the rules!

    The ghost is not by physical spacetime. Being in two matches at once should be no problem, especially with prep.

    I'm a bit pushed for time, but Seline vs dalek sec is reasonably straightforward. Selene can speed blitz the cumbersome pregnant roller skate.

    Black widow vs Gandalf is reasonably straightforward. For similar reasons that Constantine beat death strike yesterday. It's street level peak human vs top tier mage.

    Really?

    Selene has no way to actually harm Sec- his shields protect him from bullets and physical threats. She has no high-powered explosives or energy weapons. Even if Dalek accuracy isn't always the greatest, one hit from him and she's toast.

    "top tier mage" lol. Movie Gandalf is nowhere near other top mages in this draft. All he's shown is shining light at people, cracking some rocks, and sword swinging. None of which are beyond Widow's abilities to deal with. Can Gandalf dodge or block bullets? No, he can't and he's going to die because of it.

    Gandalf beat up a Balrog - I doubt black widow could do that?
