Nice Peter as Zeus (voice only)

Zeus
How dare you challenge my immortal throne?

I'm the father of the Gods! Put your daddy on the phone!

Maybe Odin could beg me for a truce, 'cause when Zeus lets loose,

I'll put your cross dressing neck in a noose!

I'm like Medusa: I stone a mother fucker if he looks at me wrong!

I'm a bull getting bitches with my swan schlong!

I'm on point like Poseidon's trident!

Rhymes colder than the frosty balls of your giants!

Thor
Allow Thor to retort, you shape-shifting rapist,

And get a taste of this Scandinavian greatness!

Brought forth by my raging thunderstorm force,

'Cause I don't get nice. I get Norse!

Loki
Noirse!

Thor
Valhalla-atcha boy and we'll flyte it out!

But keep your Asgard up; I Ragnarök the house!

You tongue kiss your sister! That's grosser than a Gorgon!

I'm the thunder down under, nailing Natalie Portman!

Who would ever worship someone as abusive as Zeus is?

You're ruthless to humans, your crew is like the clash of the douches,

Ruling over the Greeks: a people weak and frightened.

I'd spit in your face, but you'd probably like it!

Zeus
Only a mindless fool would knock the fathers of philosophy.

My Greeks built the bedrock of democracy!

With astronomy, they charted out the movements of my kin:

All the pimps of Mount Olympus and me the king pin!

Let this sink in: I'm about to rain on your parade!

Itchy trigger finger quicker with the bolts than Usain!

You're history! I'll be the first to put it in writing!

MC Hammer just got struck twice by greased lightning!

Thor
Rain, old man? This is hardly a drizzle.

You couldn't give the women in my homeland the sniffles.

You can keep your astronomers. I'll sail with the conquerors

For thousands of kilometers, discovering the continents!

I'm alpha dog dominant; you can't beat me!

I will drop you like Greece's GDP!

Send you deeper underground than the depths of your Hades!

Now make like your daddy and swallow my babies!

Zeus
You think The Underworld scares the ruler of the skies?

You're joking! Loki must have written your lines!

By the time I'm finished whipping you with wits and rhymes,

You'll need a lighter for your ship 'cause a viking just died!

Thor
Your glory days are over. The Oracle shoulda told'ya.

I'll kick your wrinkly dick back in your toga like "Opa!"

Here, take these drachma for your eyes.

When you get to River Styx, tell your three-headed bitch I say hi.

Cerberus
Woof!

Thor
You've never been to war with the likes of Thor before!

The oracle should have warned you 'bout the blood and gore!

Brought forth by my raging thunderstorm force,

'Cause I don't get nice I get Norse,

Loki
Noirse!

Thor
Valhalla-atcha boy and we'll flyte it out!

But keep your Asgard up, I Ragnarök the house!

I'm a stone cut stud like I stared down a Gorgon,

Got the thunder down under nailing Natalie Portman!

Who would ever worship someone as abusive as Zeus is?

You're ruthless to humans, the truth is you're the God of douches.

And when we're through with this your hubris will send to Hades!

So make like your daddy and swallow my babies.

Zeus
I'm the father of the Gods, Barbie, mind your manners.

Odin can't touch this, let alone MC Hammer!

Flip more middle fingers at you than a hundred hander.

Take your little tool away, you're just a blonde Bruce Banner!

I'm Olympic gold standard on point like a trident.

Drop science colder than the frosty balls of your giants!

Poseidon couldn't fathom the depth of your thickness.

I bask in the sun, you chose the land of Christmas.

"But I have to save the mortals!" Blech. Blow me.

I'll be boozing on some ouzo at the beach with Loki!

There's a 100 percent chance in this weather forecast,

Of Zeus raining wrath down upon Thor's ass!

Thor
Rain, old man? This is hardly a drizzle.

You couldn't give the women in my homeland the sniffles.

You look miserable; old and fat.

And you grope so many mates you surely have the thunderclap!

It's the swan song for your bullshit, with Leda and Europa.

You shape-shifting rapist, keep your dick inside your toga!

It's over, I'll smash you like an ogre!

Thor's a mighty soldier, you're a war carbon copy only older.

Zeus
You call yourself mighty but you're not to my liking.

So I'll strike this weak viking twice with greased lightning!

This blonde shit talker is as soft as Betty Crocker.

I scarred Harry Potter, gave Ben Franklin the shocker‏!

I am the alpha and the O, mega!

You're Thor skinned dick cheddar, smegma!

Conquer the cloud-cold Nectar? Never!

Without the Avengers, you would never be remembered!

 * This is the second battle where the thumbnail was changed, after Frank Sinatra vs Freddie Mercury.
