This thread is so depressing.
1st, the mouldering corpse of fictional character battles has already been done to death by the first corpse of fictional character battles from centuries ago, so the combatants had better be Hella Interesting if you're even going to go forward with this folly, where the path is so worn you could plant TV's in it.
Next, Heroes and Lost are so lame and depressing. Turn off your TV's. It's all crap. Worshipping boring humans from boring TV shows is depressing...like all the Jack Bauer Worship.
I'd never watched 24, so I withheld judgement, but now I've seen most episodes.
He shoots people. He's good at punching them hard. He has no qualms about torturing people, and he has really good and completely unrealistic physical and emotional endurance.
Whoopedy-Doo

Some old bald dude on Lost against repulsor blasts? Absurd.
Next, Iron Man is depressing. Comics these days are depressing. They're so desperate for new ideas and sales that they're just flailing. Big events used to be special and mind-blowing, like the first Secret Wars and the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Now they have a big crossover event every other month. It's the norm now.

Eff that.
Next, Ash worship is depressing. It's just a Pavlovian response in geeks now. Overexposure has killed him and the Evil Dead series was a nice diversion, but it isn't THAT great.
Next, Master Chief is from Halo and Halo is depressing.
Watching geeks s*** themselves trying to shoot people from around the world...all looking just the same in their generic "futuristic humans in body armor with ginormous guns battling creepy aliens" schtick.
It was really cool in "Aliens", back in the 80's.
Anything after that...boring as hell.
