YMMV / Super-Hero-Bowl!

Go To

  • Awesome Art: There are over 300 heroes and villains in the videos and all of them look exactly like they do in the movies they're from. Especially impressive when you remember the entire thing is done by only TWO people.
  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: The "Dr Man-fat-tan" scene in the third video, "Super Showdown-Bowl", seems to exist for only one reason: to have a Meaningful Background Event of Ant-Man shrinking himself down and climbing onto Neytiri's arrow. Although in-universe, it serves to show just how effective Oscar's mind-games are at taking out potentially the greatest threat to himself.
  • Crosses the Line Twice:
    • Oscar lasering George Clooney Batman in the BAT NIPS.
    • Depending on your sense of humor, some of the over-the-top ways certain characters get killed falls into this.
  • Fridge Brilliance: In the first video, Batman directly engages Wolverine, Spider-Man, Indiana Jones, and Lara Croft. However he only restrains them instead of killing them. Even in a fight to the death, he won't break his one rule.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Jean Grey at one point refers to Harley as a "Psycho Barbie". Margot Robbie has since been cast as the lead in the upcoming Barbie movie.
  • Moment of Awesome:
    • In "Super-Villain-Bowl!", we have a scene where Darth Vader battles The Alien Queen, what more needs to be said.
    • At the end of "Villain-Bowl" Thanos and Jean Grey as Phoenix are seemingly the only ones left. Thanos uses the Time Stone to revert Jean to her younger self when she was less powerful. Thanos taunts Jean by stating that humans spend so much time developing power that they could just take. Jean's response is to use her telekinesis to snatch the Infinitiy Guantlet from Thanos and complete obliterate him with it.
      Jean: Lesson learned.
    • John Wick shooting all but one of Oscar's orbs in "Super-Showdown-Bowl!"
    • Also Black Panther leading everyone into battle against Oscar.
      T'Challa: Heroes and Villains Forever!
    • Doctor Manhattan's Batman Gambit; as the most frequent winner of the Super-Hero-Bowl, he's met with Oscar numerous times, training himself to retain his memories during each reset. His suicide in the Bowl wasn't because Professor X had influenced him; it was so he could meet up with Thanos in his cell and set him on the road to reverting Jean Gray back to her more heroic frame of mind, so that she could work with her fellow X-Men to build an alliance with all those Oscar had victimized. Without Manhattan's scheming, Oscar would never have been brought down in the first place!
    • Oscar is a walking golden villainous continuous Moment of Awesome, establishing himself as a very credible threat. Against an army of over 300 heroes and villains, many of whom are formidable in their home series, he barely loses any ground, systemically taking down any that dare try attack him. It says a lot the only way the heroes win are by noticing a tiny detail, possessing the means to time travel and by possessing just the right amount of gold to kill him.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Oscar. He is an all-powerful being that creates and forces hundreds of movie heroes and villains to participate in a battle to the death for the amusement of him and his subjects. Then after whoever wins triumph, he kills them and starts the whole process over again. It's implied that he's been doing this for 80 years. Those who refuse to fight are either killed on the spot or tortured with electricity. It's taken even farther when "Super-Showdown-Bowl!" reveals that not only can he create and kill the heroes and villains, but he also took all their powers for himself. And the sequel series implies that he's not completely dead....
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character:
