Most Epic Crossover of ALL Time???

Post by Crossroads Inc. »

Shortly before the events of Episode Six of Gurren Lagann there is a great sundering of the space time continuum, reality breaks open and out from the rift drops a strangely panted Blue Mecha, with a sports car for a head The pilot and his two friends have just arrived after doing battle with evil alternate versions of themselves.

IE... MEGAS XLR meets Gurren Lagaan!!! Possibility for best Crossover of all time? What could happen next? RAR!!!

I'd be more interested in a Getter Robo crossover, if only to see the Getter Emperor eat TTGL.

See that just gets silly, and it goes back to something that bugs me a great deal about crossovers, that they often de-volve int a "vs".

After coming up with this idea, I indeed searched for "Megas/Gurren Lagann" crossovers, and found quite a few, but virtually All of them were "vs" threads, IE, coop vs Kamina. And it always hits me Why? I mean, Coop and Kamina are two sides of the same coin why pit them, or others (Getter Corp included) aginst one another when it seems so obvious that they would make an awesome Team.

I think a TTGL vs Getter Emperor match-up would be pretty much the perfect climax to a GL/GR crossover actually, even if the rest of it wasn't a vs. story. Gurren Lagann riffed on quite a few things from Getter, especially the Spiral Energy, and the Getter Emperor is pretty much the embodiment of the Spiral Nemesis concept. Maybe it's just me, but Ryouma, Hayato and Benkei joining the Gurren posse in some sort of Tengen Toppa Getter Lagann thing to battle the Getter Emperor sounds like the most badass matchup ever.

There is a fixed narrative structure for this kind of crossover. Two universes meet, a misunderstanding leads to awesome battle, and then they unite against a common threat in even more awesome battle.

Not in Super Robot Wars it isn't. :P

That's more: "Hey, there's bad dudes there! LET'S BLOW 'EM UP!"

Though the one time there was a misunderstanding, it was because the bad guys manipulated everyone into fighting. And that was their ultimate goal.

Well, the bad guys didn't KNOW it was their ultimate goal to create a world of war and chaos, but hey, what good would a conspiracy be if everyone in it knew the details of it?

Anyone else want to see a Super Robot Wars movie or OAV with LICENSED characters, if only to see Optimus Prime slap Amuro Ray like the bitch the Gundam pilot is? Or maybe to see Gendo and Keel Lorenz cry on each other's shoulders as Mazinkaiser rocket punches any chance they have of achieving Instrumentality, into the stratosphere?
Please do not make Americans fight giant monsters.

Those gun nuts do not understand the meaning of "overkill," and will simply use weapon after weapon of mass destruction (WMD) until the monster is dead, or until they run out of weapons.

They have more WMD than there are monsters for us to fight. (More insanity here.)

In at least one possible future the Getter Emperor consumes the Andromeda galaxy. TTGL should be kind of easy to chomp on after that. TTGL isn't the only series with huge things!

BOOBS! I was wondering why it wouldn't let me click on that link at work, shame on you for not adding a NSFW on that.

That Aside in the Gurren Lagann Movie, they went even BIGGER and you get the sense that however big the Gurren Lagann needed to be, thats how big it would become.
It's just awesome like that.

No. Also, your obsessive dislike of Amuro is absolutely and completely deranged.

I don't think capitalising that BIGGER was enough, given that when Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann shows up the Grand Zamboa (the same mecha TTGL fights at the end of the series) is just about on eye level with it's big toe.

New Jersey gets completely fucking trashed, regardless of if they fight or the exact location Megas and Co. pop out. This is the rule.
