Personally I’d much rather have a Dead Space 4. The ending of DS3 dlc begs for a sequel. DS2 is so great it doesn’t need a remake. What could possibly be changed about it for the better? Don’t say just graphics because at that point it would just be a remaster.

As for the threat that the comment mentions, I have 4 ideas:

1. An alien race or group that is actually advanced. Basically, think covenant or forerunners in halo. Technically more dangerous than necromorphs even if less scary. From a horror perspective this might be the least desired, but story and gameplay wise, this is what Dead Space 3 was building towards. It could offer some interesting lore and world building.

2. Monsters that hunt Necromorphs. Think of xenophages hunting symbiotes in marvel. Similar dynamic. Aesthetically, I think this would have to be the most creative and challenging. How do you make monsters that look scarier and more brutal than the Necromorphs?

3. Necromorph/human hybrid. Basically like the thing (John Carpenter film creature). Can look human but turn monstrous when the situation calls for it. I think this could be a full circle moment for the franchise. Schofield doesn’t want to admit it, but it seems like The thing inspired Dead Space a good amount.

4. More psychological/mental/ghostly. DS3 dlc paced the way for this. More recent successful horror such as Resident Evil 7 and Silent Hill remakes are examples of this. What could the threat actually look like? That’s a damn good question above my pay grade lol. I’d say the DS3 dlc was a good starting point tho. It could look so much better and scarier with modern graphics.

Yes, for the dinosaur/creature side of things, these 5 are the main antagonists/final bosses of their respective movies. Spino is the only one who technically isn’t the final boss but you bet your ass he’s the main antagonist of JP3 dino wise.

Buck, Spino, Indom were given much more memorable things to do in better settings. I don’t think the screen time thing is particularly relevant. Buck shared much of his screen time with Doe. Spino only had like 4 minutes of screen time. I think d rex and giga had similar. Indominus had a lot more, but she’s the catalyst of the plot. JW started with her and the conflict ended with her. Dominion and Rebirth were also like that with giga and d rex, but something about the journey Indom went on was much more satisfying to watch than the other 2.

Giga and D Rex are kinda in a similar narrative role of just being slow moving creatures who are barely in the movie and just stalk humans for a bit in the third act.

Roland said the T. rex was the best predator on earth. I forget the exact quote but I’m paraphrasing. Given what Buck did in the film, he sure lived up to it. Spino just based on the roar was said to sound bigger than T. rex, and he lived up to it (although, technically this is inaccurate because Rexy, the Rex who Grant encountered, is actually bigger than Spino unless you count Spino’s sail. Maybe Grant saw the news of Buck in San Diego in 1997 and heard his roars??). Indom is stated to a versatile threat (paraphrasing) in various ways and she sure lived up to it. She actually drove the conflict of the movie much more than the others especially giga and d Rex who kinda just felt like they were there by accident. Maybe that’s the point for those 2, but it isn’t as entertaining.

Buck had the tent scene and San Diego. Spino had the plane scene and the river scene. Indom had the gyrosphere and the entire island. Giga’s scenes come across as way more lame partially because of being at way less memorable locations. Generic wilderness and facility. Same with D Rex who at least had the helicopter scene which was cool but then in the next scene they nerf his size!

First of all, Ghost is a counter to every Defender except Daredevil due to his senses. Daredevil doesn’t kill tho, which is a problem against a team consisting of no one who has a no kill rule. They also use guns which daredevil doesn’t. So, him and several others would just get shot immediately. Even if you wanna argue he’d somehow acrobatics his way out of getting shot, even Yelena would kick his ass in melee. The fact that she can throw hands with John Walker should put Matt below Yelena considering Matt struggles with Wilson Fisk the Kingpin. Obviously John is stronger than Yelena and overpowered her but she was able to land effective hits and fight him for a bit and resist him. Even her hallway scene puts her above Daredevil who while yes he has some cool hallway fights, they aren’t as impressive combat wise as Yelena’s.

Then the super soldiers have more impressive strength feats in fights than Luke cage who is more durable but can still be KOd. Bucky stopped armored trucks, Red guardian tanked falling debris from skyscraper height, John Walker easily broke through concrete wall after the vault fight, and has that crazy high jump soon after, etc these just put Luke’s fight helping the other defenders to shame. Also you can apply Steve Rogers’ feats (he staggered Loki and Thanos, threw hands with Ultron and iron man. Etc these are above defenders’ feats) to Bucky and John but at this point they are arguably above Steve. Bucky never had a vibranium arm when he fought Steve. Bucky got the vibranium arm later. Considering how close their fights were (and Bucky technically won their fight in Civil War which was their last fight), the vibranium arm should tip the scales in Bucky’s favor. John was already a peak human when he got the serum, and considering he nearly beat Bucky and Sam 2v1, and his feats in thunderbolts, I just don’t see how John isn’t above Steve.

There’s also the fact that the Defenders are outnumbered and I’m not even including sentry or taskmaster for thunderbolts/new avengers. 4v5. I’ve seen people include Elektra for Defenders but she’s literally their antagonist! I’ve seen Punisher be included but he’s not in that miniseries and he’s just plain and simply not a member. Even if for some reason he’s allowed to be included, the super soldiers are better versions of Punisher combat wise.

Thunderbolts/New Avengers would beat The Defenders

Spiderman & punisher or Deadpool & wolverine

Yes yes, Tom vs Tom, but I think there are enough differences between himself in NWH and in BND to warrant the comparison. Also, of course, both sides have all their available resources.

Round 1: no prep

R2: prep

Didn’t have enough time to include “VS” for every slide and I figured seeing the orders of both sides would lead to assumption of who’s fighting who but I want to mention specifics:

Slasher vs T-600 because both are basically the base forms of their factions.

Brute vs T-800 because both are essentially the tank types of their teams.

Hunter vs T-1000 because both have blades, regeneration, and got defeated by extreme heat.

Hivemind vs Harvester because they are giants.

Isaac vs T-X because both have a lot of tech/weapons and can manipulate nearby tech.

Brethren Moons vs Skynet because they are ultimate villains/final bosses of these franchises.

Apocalypse vs Quicksilver

Makkari vs Ikaris

Homelander vs A-Train
