MCU vs thread....controversy and chaos

[Luigi]

If this is Agatha with her Wandavision power level, she easily takes this. There's nothing that the GOTG can do to her.

Ronan wins. Next up:

Guardians of the Galaxy

vs Agatha Harkness

Who you got peeps?

GotG. She thinks Groot is a large shrub and he snaps her neck from behind.

Man, you are just ASKING for a reason to complain.

Because, well, you know......I like to be annoying.

 

[Batmannerism]

Gamora should win this. She's physically stronger, and tougher and at least as quick as the Widow.
We saw how Widow did against Bucky in hand to hand, she's only able to slow him down a little.

While tactically the Widow is vastly superior I only see her winning this if she has guns and Gamora doesn't. Alternatively her Widow stings might disable Gamora's cyborg systems, but could she then land a death blow without a firearm ? I don't think so.

Gamora at least 8/10.

So Gamora,

Wanda tried that tactics. It didn't work with a surprise TK SUV, there is little reason to think it would work better with a surprise Groot.

Next up:

Black Widow

vs Gamora

Who you got peeps?

Gamora, in a walk. For all intents and purposes in this fight, this is Black Widow versus someone who does the same things as her, only much moreso.

 

[metaphysician]

Also, I honestly doubt that guns would matter, not unless you spotted Natasha some alien Thanos-tech guns or something. Gamora was repeatedly portrayed as in the same physical tier as Nebula, which means shooting her with a Baretta is probably going to do nothing to her.

Wanda isn't a shrub and her arms don't grow.

Black Widow uses Glocks, and was able to shoot the Winter Soldier in the eye from at least 10 yards away.

I strongly suspect a bullet in the eye would probably stop Gamora, not even sure about how bullet resistant her skull is ? - while we're on the subject Nebula's durability, in fact durability in general in the MCU, is a bit inconsistent as she's able to self repair quickly from a direct hit with a rocket launcher in GOTG , but dies from a single shot from a sidearm in Endgame - that's quite some gun - in Avengers, Steve took a gunshot from a Chitauri blaster and got up again almost immediately.

What does all this tell us ? That durability is only one step away from plot armour and characters can absorb as much damage and injury as the story needs them to, until the plot doesn't need them to be able to anymore.

Also, Gamora has some vulnerability to tasers, or at least a similar level of vulnerability as most folks as Star Lord was able to stun her with one in GOTG - to me, that's Widow's only real chance here, to stun Gamora and bust a cap in her dome.
Much more likely outcome is that Gamora kills her first.

 

[Fosterson]

Natasha gets curb'd. Gamora is a genuine superhuman. And Gamora has guns too, so that cancels out the "Natasha shoots her to win" argument.

 

[Imjenn]

Gamora can do that. Don't forget it's more than just the strength to lift it- she has to be able to balance and stabilize and handle the recoil.

Natasha gets one shot.

 

[Luigi]

Gamora for the reasons stated above.

Thanos didn't call her the fiercest woman in the galaxy for nothing.

Ego the living planet

Vs Doctor Strange

Well, assuming he doesn't have the time stone, Dr Strange is still physically just a human, and while he can erect magic shields ( that could block even Thanos' punches) but eventually I feel that Ego could overwhelm his defences.

At the same time I don't know how Strange could get inside Ego's core and kill him - maybe he could create a portal and get in there and blast Ego's brain.

I'll say Ego takes this about 7/10 times.

 

[InCali]

Gamora wins. Next up:

Ego the living planet

Vs Doctor Strange

Who you got peeps?

Dr Strange. He wins because he's ultra clever and always pulls something out of his.....hat.

 

[metaphysician]

Ego vs Dr Strange:

Hmm. This hinges on a lot of unknowns, mainly "can Ego uses his cosmic energy to interfere with Strange's more esoteric magical powers, like portals and dimension shifts"? Which, given the scale Ego operates at, he *probably* should be able to do, but its not certain.

I'd call it 7/10 in Ego's favor, since while there are a lot of unknowns, Ego ultimately does benefit from being a planet sized being with a moon sized brain. That gives him a lot more leeway in making mistakes versus someone with a squishy human body. Plus, Ego isn't distracted like he was in GOTG 2, its just him versus one ( scarily powerful ) foe.

 

[Luigi]

Ego

The Supreme Sorcerer might be crafty with his magic but he would still get overwhelmed by Ego.

 

[Imjenn]

Strange is clever, resourceful, and quite powerful. If Ego lets the info about his core slip, or for whatever reason Strange ends up near the core, than Strange would win.

The odds of what I wrote above happening? Not very high. Strange might be able to survive long enough to realize fighting on the surface is useless.

I give it to Ego 8 out of 10 times.

Ego wins. Guardians of the Galaxy

Vs New Avengers(team Cap)

Who you got peeps?

 

[Luigi]

Team Cap

Team Cap is going to be playing defense at first, protecting Wanda so that she can hold off Yondu's arrow at bay. Once they knock out Yondu, it'll be easy for them to pick off the rest of the Guardians. Especially since they have Giant Man in their corner.

 

[Batmannerism]

Ego wins. Guardians of the Galaxy

Vs New Avengers(team Cap)

Who you got peeps?

Team Cap 10/10.


The most serious threat is Yondu's arrow, but even that can be broken and Yondu himself isnt particularly durable.

Also Team Cap were holding back quite a bit vs Team Tony, something that isnt a factor here.

All Cap has to do is run interference for Wanda and she can wipe out most of GOTG.

 

[Fosterson]

Team Cap, with Wanda and Scott as the MVPs.

 

[Docker2.0]

I think the MVP is Rocket Raccoon but ok.............
