Who’s winning the Battle of The Explorers?

Alright… Who’s winning this?

I love all Five of these franchises, but i’ve always wondered this question… Who wins in a battle of the Explorers?

So here’s the scenario for this! They’ve all gone out on an adventure with their respective casts of characters. Nathan Drake Sets out With Sully and the rest of his crew to find something to get money with. Rick O, Connell comes seeking treasure. Lara Croft goes out on another tomb raiding adventure, The Mission… for Research. And Indy comes to retrieve the artifact to put where it belongs… In a Museum! And Dora is MotherFreaking Dora The Explorer.
But our cast encounter each-other On the way in! and it’s a battle to retrieve the artifact… Who will win?

Rules Are:

Each Character can Bring whatever cast of Side Characters they so desire for Assistance, But there can be no more than 5 Companions. This means that if Nathan Drake is Joining the fight, He’s Bringing Sully, Sam, Elena, Chloe and One other with him.
Indy has a choice of side characters you can choose from to choose who he’d ideally bring with him and same for Lara.

\-No team ups allowed. Lara and Indy can’t just work together to bring down Nate. It’s every Adventurer for themselves. They can team up with their companions though…

\-They Must leave with the Artifact.

Clarification: Leaving with the Artifact means that they don’t necessarily all have to kill each other to win… They just have to get the Artifact and get away with it. (I am not just targeting Nathan here, Cause he can be a pretty sneaky little guy when he wants to be) If they are capable of slipping away, that counts as a win.

\-All feats of the characters are counted, Meaning Indy is a Combined Version of VideoGame, Comic, Novel, and Movie Indy. And Lara is both her Classic and Modern Self, and Same with Nate and any other character. Just so that people can’t nitpick you and say “Well in indiana Jones and the Infernal machine, He did \[Insert here\]” and people be like “Buts that only game Indy!”
Indy Is Indy
Croft Is Croft
Dora Is Dora
Rick is Rick
Nate Is Nate
And their Companions are Their Companions…

\-NO LEGO INDY.
Lego Indiana Jones would be the single most overpowered Character on here. In Lego Indy 2 The Adventure Continues, He Fights what is very heavily implied to be God and Wins… He fights the Hindu Goddess Kali, A Giant Kaiju made of ants and Literal Aliens. LEGO INDY does NOT count as part of this battle, and would so throughly stomp everyone on here, it would not be at all funny in the slightest.

-PLOT ARMOR CANCELS OUT!
Let’s be Honest, Everyone on here has some insane plot armor. The plot doesn’t Favor anyone here, it’s an Equal Brawl.

-Dora Can’t use the Viewer to F-cking Cheat. Dora Can use Map, Backpack and any of her other companions, but the F-cking mouse would just break everything…

\-No distinction between Lara Crofts.
Lara is Lara in this, and this is just the sake of making it easier for the list. Classic Lara is the Same Character as Modern Lara, and that is final, despite whatever character differences they may have, the accomplishments are the same.

-Dora Is her Adult Self from Dora And the Lost City of Gold. I’m not having Indy beat the Shit out of a child…

\-Any feat From Ancillary Media of any of the Franchises Counts as Well for considering characters. Meaning any of the crazy feats that Indy has pulled Off In any of His Game/Comic/Novel Appearances are canon here and can be used in the discussion.

Companion lists do not have to be Limited to any single cast from any single peice of Media, For Example Indy Could Have a Team Of Marion, Short Round, Henry Jones Senior, Sahllah, And Mac With him if you So desire. Same with any of the other characters here, but there is a limit of 5 Characters Maximum.

\-The Companions must be companions and not Villains, who have served as a sidekick/Sidecast, along side the respective character in their media appearances. NO COMPANIONS FROM CROSSOVERS.

-No Hahaha Dora Wins Funeee!
If you think Dora Wins, please just explain why Dora wins and not just “Haha Dora Wins because Dora Funny?”

Who’s winning!?

I will be Reposting this To other Subreddits as well to poll this

BONUS QUESTION: After the Battle, they realized they’ve all been fooled by a team up of villains from their respective franchises… So they all join together in a team! Who plays what role in the team?

I love all three of these franchises, but i’ve always wondered this question… Who wins in a battle of the Explorers?

So here’s the scenario for this! They’ve all gone out on an adventure with their respective casts of characters. Nathan Drake Sets out With Sully and the rest of his crew to find something to get money with. Lara Croft goes out on another tomb raiding adventure. And Indy comes to retrieve the artifact to put where it belongs… In a Museum! But our cast encounter each-other at the secret tomb. and it’s a battle to retrieve the artifact… Who will win?

A teaser for a video i will be uploading to my youtube channel. I’ve done similar videos for hazbin hotel already. And I plan to cover more star wars as well!

This is Satire, but the grievances are not…

So for any future overly In depth analysis videos i make on Hazbin Hotel that feature Charlie, only the complete youtube version will be uploaded here.
But i feel for people who thought my takes were bad faith, i feel i haven’t really explained the nature of the analysis in the video. This is not starting drama and i will not respond to anyone who tries to start anything in the comments.
This is a Civil explanation to something i didn’t cover in the video.

My Analysis is intended to be Equal parts entertaining and Educational.
What I analyze are NOT takes about how i feel about the show, its characters or its fandom.
They are my observations about what the show presents to me on screen. My Passion has always been for knowledge, and so anything i see, i compare to its plausibility IRL, To Both Educate and Inform the viewer of anything that adds depth to the story or the actions of the characters.

They are NOT takes of Criticism with the Plot, Writing, or Characters.
in fact i make it clear at the very beginning that the Plot is not relevant to the analysis. When i say something should be a death blow I mean that In a real fight without any of the restrictions of the plot, “X Hit, Would Kill someone”

When i point out something like “Charlie Has Her Face Exposed”
Im not taking a stance or saying that means the show is bad, it just means that she is doing something that in real life, is not desirable to do in a real fight or battle.

When i point out Alternative moves that could be done, Im not doing so to demean Charlie or any other character, the point is to educate the viewer of what these positions mean in real life, or what were other things the animators could have done to get people thinking.

I have a love for film production and The Creative Process in General.
I love finding the little inconsistencies and Animation Errors that lie in shows, movies, and video games because they are like fun little treasures to hunt for. And i love finding them! they can very funny or interesting and can give an insight into the creative process! They are not intended to be A Sleight against the animators or the production team.

When i say things like “Charlie is using her shield Improperly” Or “A Trident is not an Effective Weapon” These are Factual statements meant to educate the viewer and give the viewer a better sense of appreciation for actions that are done that ARE actually plausible. When Charlie Uses her Shield in a way that actually is proper shield usage, It feels very rewarding and very IMMERSIVE! And small things like this will actually elevate a scene and make it far more impactful.
Charlie’s Sequence of Defensive attacks against Angels Fits with her Character, and that is something that Elevates the scene! Charlie is not only talking like she is Charlie, But Charlie is Fighting Like Charlie! Adam Actually fights like Someone who is unafraid of harm, Vaggie actually fights like she’s received professional training, and Alastor is a Genius! pointing out the Unsound and Unrealistic gives a better appreciation for what is.

My Brand of humor is dramatization, Repetition, Over exaggeration, And Dark Humor. I will usually make jokes that play into a character trait or instance in an overly exaggerated manner. If i say something like “Charlie doesn’t give a crap about the men under her command at all. She just gathers her friends out on the front lawn and is like “Alright Let’s all die for the Alamo.”
That is me very clearly making a joke.
My brand of humor is just over exaggerating something and making it over the top in a rather obviously untrue manner, but sense it based in a true fact (Charlie has indeed gathered all her friends out in-front of the hotel), That makes it have a basis for being a joke.
And me repeating that three times is leading up to the punchline of “Charlie, Despite her desire to protect her precious Hazbin Hotel, Has left her Hazbin Hotel, Completely Unprotected.”
That is the Entertainment part of these videos.

As for why to do this? I am Medically Diagnosed with Autism And Adhd. (that’s what it was called back in 2001 but nowadays you’d say i just have ASD, But i refer to myself as Audhd)
I love over analyzing small minute details about shows i am passionate about and movies i enjoy. It’s why i wanted to do this analysis video because when i first watched the scene, The part of me that grew up watching star wars and reading wargaming books saw Adam’s invasion and thought “Why is he Attacking the Hotel Head On? Behind the Hotel Would be a better move” And so i pictured that scene playing out in my head. And so as i analyzed i realized that “Wow! Vaggie Is a Good Fighter!” Or that “Wow! Alastor is actually showing he is really intelligent without saying a word!”
And I came to have a New Appreciation for the Work in all of its little minute details, as well as having a picture of what it would look like had real tactics been used in the places they weren’t!
Nothing is perfect. People are not perfect, and thus the shows they make will not be perfect, And so there’s nothing wrong with understanding those imperfections along with what works.

That’s what these Analysis Videos Are and will be. To analyze what the Show presents to us, and to educate and help understand it.

Hope this clarifies things!

A protective Membrane has rolled over his eyes while he is talking to Alastor in this scene, meaning Vox is about to feed.

People will know exactly what sect of the community i’m talking about. Theres always some group of people who are like Amy is the New Sally or Lanolin is the new Sally. (Why is it always Sally) But let’s just acknowledge that these guys are all different even if they share similarities…
