The list was just them copying all the ideas from a forum thread I believe.

Also Homestuck hasn't been all that relevant on the internet in years. It's very much a niche thing now, if it ever was worthy of appearing.

The Russos Brothers have no identity outside of their name, which plenty people don't even know. Thanos is the only decent option for an Infinity War-specific rep, and he could still be too flash-in-the-pan trendy, which they've stated previously they try to avoid (YMMV on how much they actually stick to that, but Lloyd definitely said it).

As far as "old vs new," the category is far too broad to make any claims about it. There are good battle ideas centered around it, and bad ones. If you want one battle to represent an entire topic, than using that format is probably a good way to do it (like with Ross vs Picasso as the only artist battle they've done). Otherwise there's no real reason to have that connection, because it feels too broad compared to other ideas within that realm.
