Good Guys vs. Bad Guys

I don't know why I randomly had this idea to write this post. Probably because I was sick all weekend and had too much time on my hands. Or because I've totally had real conversations about this kind of thing before. Whatever the case, here goes. If I were to conquer/fight the world, I would want to have a few people to help me. I've made some Top 5 lists detailing who I would want on my team if I was fighting evil, and who I would want on my team if I was the evil.


Good Guys Team


5. Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather (Sleeping Beauty)

They can turn arrows into flowers. That would probably come in handy. And Merryweather reminds me of Megan from Bridesmaids, and I love that movie.







4. Edmund Pevensie (Chronicles of Narnia)

Who else do you know can fight that well with 2 swords? And he's not bad on the eyes either....










3. Hermione Granger (Harry Potter)

She's smart and magical. She may be pushy at times, but at least I wouldn’t have to constantly stress about whether she’s about to go sneaking off into the dark forest to face Voldemort alone. 








2. Spock (Star Trek)

Three words: Vulcan nerve pinch. 











1. Indiana Jones (Indiana Jones)

He always manages to get out of trouble using only his whip, and he’s pretty freaking awesome in general. Come to think of it, Han Solo was pretty awesome too. Heck! I’ll just take Harrison Ford. With him, I would easily have the best theme music ever! And we both share a hatred of snakes. How fitting.

Now on to the "evil team". I know bad guys always lose because they have some tragic flaw, but pretending they weren’t overcome by that flaw, this is who I would want on my "evil team".

5. Regina (Once Upon a Time)

She always seems to win, and she's really good at covering her tracks.

4. Yzma (Emperor's New Groove)

She has such wonderful ideas about how to get rid of people….

3. Rasputin (Anastasia)

He’s already dead so you can’t kill him. If his arm falls off, he just pops it back in. That sounds pretty indestructible to me! And besides, every group needs some comic relief. I would make a few rules though. Like maybe cut your nails?

2. The White Witch (Chronicles of Narnia)

She’s the only bad guy I know who doesn’t wait to strike. "Oh, you want me to wait while you say your last words? FALSE! Wack!" She's also pretty good with 2 swords. I wonder what they teach them over there in Narnia....

  

1. Lord Voldemort (Harry Potter)

The fact that people are afraid to say his name should already tell you that he's an awesome bad guy. When people talk about Darth Vader, they just say "Oh, Darth Vader? Me and him, man, we go way back." You can't do that with ole' Voldy, or he'll probably kill you or something. He can do anything with or without his wand; Turn into a black smoke cloud, go inside your soul just to say "Dah!" (HP movie 5 reference), breathe fire snakes. He has an awesome laugh, and he kind of resembles a snake. Plus there's like 7 of him.








And a side note that I thought was worth mentioning....
People that would never be considered for any of my teams


1. Rose (Titanic)

I think we’re all still bitter about the whole “hogging the driftwood” thing.







2. Gilligan (Gilligan's Island)

He ruins every plan (90’s kids who watched the same T.V as their parents would understand)







3. Robin (Batman)

I found this little passage that sums up why Robin is kind of lame.
“It seems the person portraying Robin isn’t particularly important. Batman has had several different people in the Robin uniform including a female. But, you have to wonder at the true role Batman had in mind for Robin. The question comes to mind: Why has he has made Robin such an inviting target, brightly colored in red and yellow, while he struts around in dark blue, gray and black. I can almost hear Batman saying to Robin when approaching a dark alley, 'Looks dangerous, you go first!' and then silently to himself, 'I can always find more of you.'” Poor Robin. Just look at his face in this picture compared to Batman's. No thank you.
