Curbstomps you would love to see happen
As it says in the tin. What are some curbstomps that you would like to watch?
For me I would pay to see Grunts(Halo) vs Space Marines(40K)

If it says it in the tin, it is not immediately obvious and you fail.
How about 'you (this thread) vs maturity (growing up)'? One sided are the best, right?
Avatar vs Avatar! UC Gundam vs Word of Blake! Space 1999 vs Lensman!

The legions of hell from Dwarf Fortress vs some random dwarven fort.
Than again, I tend to see that one on a monthly basis. Will I newer learn?

It has become clear to me in the previous days that any attempts at reconciliation and explanation with the community here has failed. I have tried my best. I really have. I pored my heart out trying. But it was all for nothing.
You win. There, I have said it.
Now there is only one thing left to do. Let us see if I can sum up the strength needed to end things once and for all.

Re: Curbstomps you would love to see happen
Why would I want to watch ludicrously one-sided fights?
The only ones that even faintly amuse me are the ones that serve some philosophical or symbolic point- where the conflict is about how one side can beat the other with the power of an idea, not just by happening to have overwhelmingly superior hardware.

That's not to say you can't get solid drama out of one-sided or doomed conflict. Sadly, vs debates are seldom about drama.

Re: Curbstomps you would love to see happen
I guess I could understand wanting to see curbstomps that ought to have happened (NR against the YV comes to mind) but didn't because the writers deliberately made the vastly superior side retarded so they could actually have them losing.
Come to think of it, I can think of oodles of this kind of scenarios from superhero comics, but this is the wrong forum and quite likely not what the OP was thinking about anyway.

Re: Curbstomps you would love to see happen
Though the ability of a Halo-verse enemy to stomp nBSG-verse inhabitants has been called into question, I'd like to see Covenant steamroll Cylons (and perhaps vice-versa) simply so each can feel what being on the receiving end of a xenophobic war of extermination feels like.
I'd also like to see what the Yuuzhan Vong think of Cylon skinjobs. "Oh, yeah, it looks human and it bleeds red, but it claims it's a robot."

Re: Curbstomps you would love to see happen
Heck if you want to go that way Sauron's army against the United States Armed Forces ca today, just to show once and for all, yeah, medieval armies, even including giant elephants and orcs that can ignore arrows and have flying annoyances in the form of the Nazgul will get eaten.The Romulan Republic wrote:The Dragon Reborn vs Sauron's army on the Pellenor Fields.

Re: Curbstomps you would love to see happen
Orcs can't ignore arrows. Not sure what you're talking about there.
Sauron himself would probably just corrupt the President though. Hell, he'd probably find it far easier than Sauroman or Denethor. But yeah, against the armies it'd be pretty one-sided. So, US curbstomps Sauron's army, Sauron himself curbstomps US via corruption.

Re: Curbstomps you would love to see happen
River Song vs. anyone willing to straight up shoot her? Actually River vs. some giant mecha or anything else that would leave her a red smear sounds pretty fun. Same with Jar-jar.
But for a vastly different reason than I would normally read/watch fiction, ie I just hate the characters.

I got my movie scenes confused, sorry.The Romulan Republic wrote:Orcs can't ignore arrows. Not sure what you're talking about there.
That depends entirely on who's POTUS at the time, and far from a given at that. Saruman and Denethor were convinced they were lost. POTUS will have near certainty he or she can win effortlessly.Sauron himself would probably just corrupt the President though. Hell, he'd probably find it far easier than Sauroman or Denethor.
The latter is dubious at best.But yeah, against the armies it'd be pretty one-sided. So, US curbstomps Sauron's army, Sauron himself curbstomps US via corruption.

Re: Curbstomps you would love to see happen
Maybe the masturbation is a visual thing. I mean, I guess you might be entertained by a screen full of explosions for 15 minutes; by this measure, even TSW is entertaining. By comparison, anything involving the Xeelee is amazingly boring and uninteresting.
I guess it's a funny side effect of wanky nerds that the vs they like the most (ie, the most one-sided ones between the stupidest matchips with the least drama or content) are the ones that would actually be really boring to watch. Amazing! A superbomb killed reality! THRILLING!

Re: Curbstomps you would love to see happen
You must have missed those Star Wars vs Star Trek stories, where the Empire trounces the Trek powers. Granted we know it was going to happen, but by that reasoning it follows that the story must be by its nature boring because its ludicrously one sided when it comes to fights.Simon_Jester wrote:Why would I want to watch ludicrously one-sided fights?

Re: Curbstomps you would love to see happen
Protip - the only interesting ones WEREN'T one-sided, and contained a substance called 'drama'. That's a bit difference than saying 'I want 90 minutes of Xeelee killing dudes with lameness'.

That's because you were actually interested in drama. Apparently, there's still people interested in duking it out.

Re: Curbstomps you would love to see happen
Never said they would actually be interesting to watch, i just answered the OP: the most one sided curb-stomp battle( I personally have no intrest in curb stomping unless I'm the stomper). Though the blowing up of a intire Galaxy might be visualy pleasing, assuming i wasn't in said galaxy.Stark wrote:Maybe the masturbation is a visual thing.

Re: Curbstomps you would love to see happen
Right, and contentless explosion masturbation has already been covered. If there's no drama, and it's not visually interesting... where's the entertainment? Some kind of amazingly lame 'backing the winning team in a stacked fight' nonsense, that's where.
