1/5
Sam and Max Vs. Timon and Pumbaa (Sam and Max Vs. The Lion King) The art depicts a grassy savannah, with Pride Rock shaped like Sam set against a sunset shaped like Max. Timon is holding Pumbaa up on Sam's nose much like he does on the cover art for Lion King 1/2. The title references Sam and Max: Hit the Road, as well as Timon and Pumbaa's Virtual Safari. Hercules Vs. Adam (Disney Vs. Record of Ragnarok) The art shows a vaase much like the ones Hercules' story is framed on, with paintings of Herc and Adam clashing. Adam's eye is red to reference his Divine Reflection Technique. The top of the vase depicts silhouettes of the women the two men gave up immortality for, Megara and Eve respectively, as well as the lightning symbol of the Gods and the forbidden fruit, signifying the difference between the two. Herc's symbol shows he's on good terms with his world's Gods (Most of them) while the fruit is Adam's symbol of defiance against his world's Gods. The lighting in the background blends gold (Representing Herc's glow when he became a God) and red (Adam's Divine Reflection) The title references Gospel Truth, a song from Hercules, and the titular Ragnarok Adam and other champions of humanity are trying to prevent. The Gospel part is written in similar manner to ROR's title while Ragnarok is spelt like Hercules' title, for irony. The Collector Vs. Ecolo (The Owl House Vs. Puyo Puyo) The art shows Collector's shadow form and Ecolo in his Puyo Puyo 7 appearance, both looming at the center with the Collector's sun and moon symbols down the middle. The sides of the art show a "What if they won" kind of scenario with a Puppet-version of Luz with the Collector's eyes and Ringo dressed like Dark Arle with Ecolo's eyes, both standing against a purple view of space. The title has a Puyo Puyo for the O. The title is a play on Collector's duty as an archivist and Ecolo's name being a play on "Echo". Astro Bot Vs. Nintendo Land Bosses (Playstation Vs. Nintendo) The art shows the Nintendo Land Tower standing with Playstation button symbols surrounded its screen, and Astro's antennae in the place of the crown. The screen is split between Astro and Monita's faces. The background shows multiple IP's from Playstation (LittleBigPlanet, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, Rathet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper, God of War, Parappa the Rapper, Polygon Man, and Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale) and Nintendo (Splatoon, Metroid, Super Mario, Kirby, Legend of Zelda, F-Zero, Pokemon, Master Hand, and Super Smash Bros.) The title is a play on both the PLAYstation and Nintendo's old slogan "Now you're playing with power!"

3/5
The Lizard (Curt Connors) Vs. Man-Bat (Kirk Langstrom) (Marvel Comics Vs. DC Comics) The art shows a POV of the Lizard's toothy maw opening as a shadowy Man-Bat soars towards him with his fangs bared. The title refers to the two's plights of losing their humanity, as they struggle with their animalistic forms and urges. Majin Sonic Vs. Mr. Sys (Sega Vs. Nintendo) The art shows Majin Sonic spindashing through a NES while Mr. Sys shoots holes in a Sega CD with a Duck Hunt Zapper Gun. Majin Sonic has other Majin's grinning in the darkness behind him while Mr. Sys has the same colorbar background from his commercial. Majin Sonic's spindash pose is based on the infamous Archie Sonic "Meaning of war" panel, and the two's slogans are hidden on the NES "Fun Is Infinite" and "You Cannot Beat Us." The title refers to the aformentioned slogans, as well as Mr. Sys' famous song "Unbeatable" from the Friday Night Funkin' mod, Mario's Madness. Ben Chang Vs. Dwight Schrute (Community Vs. The Office) The art is done in the style of the sign shown on The Office's logo, with two male figures representing Chang and Dwight. Chang has his hat and sash from when he took over Greendale, while Dwight has his glasses and the holstered gun he got when he became manager of Dunder Mifflin. The title is spaced similarly to the Office's title. The title refers to Dwight and Chang's seemingly mundane jobs, with the "workplace dispute" being their fight. Waldo Vs. Carmen Sandiego (Where's Waldo? Vs. Where In the World is Carmen Sandiego?) The art shows Waldo holding a wanted poster of Carmen, while Carmen holds a missing poster of Waldo, highlighting the two's differences and similarities. Searchlights are glowing in the background, and the title is colored like Waldo's outfit, with an outline colored similar to Carmen's get-up. The title is a simple one that alludes to both series' titles and themes of finding the titular character.

5/5
Mothra Vs. Shelob (Toho Vs. Lord of the Rings) The art shows silhouettes of Mothra and Shelob clashing, with Mothra spreading her wings and emitting light, alluding to her Godrays, while Shelob is casting dark webs beneath. Shelob also has teeth and pinchers like in the books. The title refers to the Witch King's claim of "No man can kill me!" which is followed by Arwan's "I am no man." The title works as both combatants are powerful, nigh-unkillable entities, but also alludes to how Mothra can quite easily kill Shelob, as she is no man (Neither human nor male). Similarly, it alludes to Shelob's canon fate, as she died to a mix of a Hobbit, a Dwarven Blade reforged by Elves, and her own overconfidence. Son Goten Vs. Sailor Chibi-Moon (Dragon Ball Vs. Sailor Moon) The art shows Luna-P surrounded by the Dragon Balls, with the famous Four Star Dragon Ball at the front and center. The title is meant to sound like an old fable, alluding to Dragon Ball's roots as a Journey to the West send-up and Sailor Moon's mythilogical motifs. The titles given to the two allude to Goten's mother Chi-Chi being the daughter of the Ox-King and Chibi-Usa being the daughter of Neo Queen Serenity / Sailor Moon. Cyn Vs. IC-0n (Murder Drones Vs. Internecion Cube) The art shows IC-0n's cube form with Cyn's grinning face behind her, and the Absolute Solver symbol in the background. The red gleam surrounding IC-0n is based on the same red lighting that appeared when she horrifically morphed a helicopter into a bike for Max. The title refers to the two's mechanical natures and their penchant for body horror. Freddy Krueger Vs. Betelgeuse (A Nightmare on Elm Street Vs. Beetlejuice) The art references a poster for the original Nightmare on Elm Street film, which depicted Freddy's clawed glove reaching over a scared woman in bed. Here, however, it instead reaches over Beetlejuice's snake form which bursts out of a bed with a geyser of blood referencing how Krueger killed Joey Crusel in Dream Master. Beetlejuice's arms are also bursting out tot he sides, and the bed sheets resemble Krueger's green and red sweater. The title references Pennywise's quote "Kiss me, Fat Boy!" which I stupidly conflated with Betelgeuse's "Round boy" line. The "Dead" part, obviously, refers to the two's undead status.

4/5
Donald Duck Vs. Daffy Duck (Disney Vs. Looney Tunes) The art shows two parade floats, one being Daffy's from the Looney Tunes Show, and the other made in Donald's image. Naturally, both ducks are vandalizing each other's floats, with Daffy putting a Duck Season sign on Donald's float and painting X's over his eyes (Similar to the ones he got when Daffy killed him in DBX), and Donald has punched out the eyes on Daffy's float, and is lighting it on fire, a subtle nod to Donald's famous Zeta Flare from Kingdom Hearts. The title has a crosshairs in it, referencing the act of hunting ducks. The title is a nod to Daffy's famous quote "You're despicable." and the fact that the two are ducks. It also alludes to how Daffy and Donald have often played antagonist to Bugs and Mickey. Mickey Mouse Vs. Bugs Bunny (Disney Vs. Looney Tunes) The art has a film real stretching out with multiple items associated with the two toons, as well as the toons themselves, whose ears are poking out. Mickey has Toodles, the Sorcerer's Hat, and his Musketeer sword, while Bugs has the Singing Sword, his Super Rabbit shirt and cape, and the ACME Rocket he weaponizes in Multiversus. The middle part of the reel shows the title on a sign much like the ones "Rabbit / Duck Season" are written on, and Epic Mickey's Magic Brush. In the background, Cinderella's Castle from Disneyworld and the Warner Bros. Water Tower are looming against the night sky. The title is a play on the two's catchphrases, Mickey's "Hot Dog", or rather the extended version of it from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse "Hot Diggety Dog", and Bugs' "What's Up, Doc?" Carrie White Vs. Uzi Doorman (Stephen King Vs. Murder Drones) The art depicts Carrie as a Worker Drone, shocked silent as blood pours down on her. Flames rise behind her, referencing her infamous prom night massacre, and the Glitch logo skull is on her tiara. The title refers to the proms both combatants went to that ended horribly, with Uzi having to fight off Doll and Carrie killing everyone after a prank. The SCP Foundation Vs. The Entity's Killers (SCP Wiki Vs. Dead By Daylight) The art shows the SCP Foundation logo with the Entity's tendrils reaching around it and its spores / puss spreading out behind it. There's a fire below with four screaming faces in it, referencing the four Survivors around a campfire, and two SCP soldiers pointing their guns in the Entity's direction. The title refers to the Foundation's usual modus operandi of securing threats, and the title "Dead By Daylight."
