Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Long Live the Legion! Speculate: How is The Legion going to defeat Universo in Dream Crime

Well I was thinking of the deer.

Drake???

I keep thinking of Bambii the pornstar versus RODzilla...

And Universo will be defeated by the rebooted TYROC! Mr. T will yodel and shatter the Big U's monocle in his eye... try holding a universe captive when you've got sumthin' in yer eye, never MIND a shattered monocle!

You know... Calamity King could serve the same purpose...

DAMN STRAIGHT we are!!! I need some Hussy-Come-Uppance and BAD!

Incidentally, Bambi vs. Godzilla is one of the unsung greats of modern cinema.

I'm still not clear on this Bambi vs Godzilla business. Is this something I'll find at Blockbusters or do I have to go to one of those dark little shops with the brown paper covering their windows?

And are there any bling blings in that movie?

FC, it was a claymation short film-- REALLY short-- that starts off with Bambi in the center of the frame, idyllic "meadow music" playing.

He's standing around, grazing and whatnot, until we hear a series of loud "THUD!"'s, getting closer.

Bambi is looking around, in wonder.

SUDDENLY, a giant Godzilla foot comes from the top of the screen-- "THUD!!!"

The End.

Ooh, Ooh, but wasn't there a "Bambi's Revenge" or some such???

It wasn't claymation though -- it was a crudely done hand drawing (the one I've always seen anyway).

I have no idea how DnA will resolve "Dream Crime," but here's what I would do. (Hey, I wrote a fanfic. I'm entitled. )

In Saturn Girl's dream world, Garth or one of the other Lost Legionnaires makes a statement they couldn't possibly know. Perhaps something to do with Ferro and Karate Kid being stranded on Steeple. Perhaps a reference to Jo and Tinya's child. Whatever it is, it will shock Imra into realizing the whole thing is an illusion. She will use her powers to search the minds of other Legionnaires and find that Sensor is also resisting Universo's control. They work together to gradually free the other Legionnaires -- Imra using her telepathy to undo the mind control, while Sensor keeps the illusion that they are all enthralled alive for Universo.

When enough Legionnaires are freed, they go after ol' butt-head. A battle royal ensues. Uni thinks he has the upper hand, but -- guess what! -- it's just another Sensor-scripted illusion. He then spends the rest of his life (or until his next encounter with the Legion) back in captivity on Titan, thinking he's won.

Well, if it worked for Moriarty on "Star Trek: The Next Generation," it ought to work here.

My prediction:

Infectious Lass thresholds over and gives Universo a stomach virus that his him hauling ass for the Men's Room.

She frees everyone.

While Universo is stuck on the crapper, Karate Kid stealithly sneaks in and delivers the knockout punch!

Everyone gets want they want: NO Saturn girl saving the day, an impotant, stealthy role for KARATE KID, UNIVERSO on the crapper and Infectious Lass! Hooray!!!

DnA tend to have villains defeated by giving them what they want, so here's my latest theory: Universo so over-exerts himself by taking over so many minds that it allows [fill-in-the-blank with you selection of favorite Legionnaires] to slip out of his control and kick his ass.

Universo gets recalled. The new villain is a blonde porn-star and easily defeated by our favorite shameless hussy.

So, what you're saying, F.C., is that Saturn Girl turns out to be the real villain and defeats herself?

Hey - maybe she is just projecting Universo! And she's put herself in the chair as some wierd penitence, like people who used to whip themselves in Middle Ages Easter processions, and she put Nura in a chair 'cause Nura was on to what was happening ....

after all, it's all a dream.
