Talk:Freddy Krueger vs Wolverine/@comment-39583595-20190604211131

After watching this one and hearing news of the Burger King, Ronald McDonald, and Thanos (and, to a lesser extent, George Carlin) appearing in later battles, a part of me wonders if the battles of this ensuing season will be more oriented towards pop-culture figures than historical ones for the sake of drawing in suspicious crowds. Other seasons have done so, as well, but even those were typically balanced between using individuals in pop culture, historical individuals, or even a battle with both worlds competing against each other. By contrast, this may seem to be more driven towards using more outwardly recognizeable figures in popular media nowadays, which makes me wonder if it correlates with them coming back after their rather lengthy hiatus.

I wouldn't consider such a gesture to be a bad thing at all, and Che Guavera vs. Guy Fawkes proves that they are nonetheless interested and capable to delve into such themes. Regardless, I would be interested to see if this season plays it a bit safe with the choices for now before going into the more particular historical suggestions (like Eastern vs. Western Philosophy, or the myriad of Russians in the Season 2 finale).
