I don't mean to be annoying but your tie poll has a "difference of .5" where the two results are actually a full percentage point away from each other and same with "of .3" where they are .6 apart, did you mean to do this?

I was thinking of it in the sense of how far they are from 50%, rather than each other. Also I am not always great at conceptualizing math in that sense

[hubristicassholefight]

was listening to my music on shuffle while scrolling and heard the lyric "airplane, airplane, don't you go down today" right when i encountered your tie poll. i think this is a sign that starscream must pull through

There you go, gang, the universe dictated it

[hubristicassholefight]

So, since it seems like it's becoming relevant In the House v Starscream poll.

[hubristicassholefight]

#i think starscream should get it#because of how their universes work#house is meant to win against the diseaases he finds and shit#starscream is NEVER gonna win and usurp megatron but god#he's never gonna stop trying

Gregory House (House MD) vs Starscream (Transformers)

(This poll is inclusive of any version of Starscream)

Propaganda below cut (Beware spoilers!)

House

A medical genius, but when he's bored he ruins his own life, and he's ALWAYS bored.

Starscream

He's an egomaniac and he gets humbled constantly because his schemes to overthrow his boss never fucking work; he gets called a stiletto-wearing creep at some point in transformers prime, and he threw his boss out the window a few times. he's the smartest idiot and also he's killed many

He consistently attempts to overthrow Megatron and then gets beat up for it, but mainly I’m submitting him for what he does in the movie. Okay so Megatron is injured yeah. He and a bunch of other decepticons are traveling in a shuttle but they gotta get rid of some weight to go faster They toss out some of the more generic guys. And then Starscream somehow manages to convince everybody that he should throw Megs out too LATER Starscream is throwing himself a coronation and Megatron (now Galvatron) shows up and murders him Also he does become a ghost and then manages to trick Unicron (robot Satan) into making him a new body Transformers Prime he also manages to fuck up. He quit the Decepticons because Megs almost killed him because of a failed assassination attempt. Autobots end up finding him and are gonna give him a chance for redemption and whatnot. Arcee is the one guarding him. Arcee has lost two partners, one from Airachnid, second from Starscream. Starscream only knows about the one he killed, Arcee does not know that he killed him. They’re talking about their shared hatred for Airachnid and Arcee is like “she killed my partner” and Starscream, an absolute idiot, goes “SHES TAKING CREDIT FOR THAT NOW TOO?” Arcee almost kills him, he almost kills Arcee, gets away. Bro is now factionless Mostly submitting for the g1 stuff 👍 He is a horrid asshole and I love him very much; Starscream is consistently dealing with the consequences of his own actions Here he is, almost killing Megatron and becoming leader, then getting murdered by Megatron at his coronation https://youtu.be/qaNWmd_QyA0?si=CXpM1X5_j5g6ZacI He then becomes a ghost. And then. Tricks robot Satan into giving him a new body. Even though he is way more powerful as a ghost. He is so awful and I love him

[hubristicassholefight]

#how is starscream not winning#my evil cat noooo#also gotta say the propaganda is making me laugh for multiple reasons#one) the difference in how much is there#two) the last few sentences of the starscream propaganda BC YEAH THE G1 STUFF IS SO FUNNY#they didn't even mention his silly crown (its in the video but it wasn't directly said)#ALSO I SAW SOMEONE IN THE NOTES MENTION CYBERVERSE STARSCREAM??? I HAVEN'T WATCHED IT YET BUT GO LOOK AT JUDGE STARSCREAM#there are too many starscreams to be beaten by a human man#and they ALL COUNT bc its Starscream (Transformers) not Starscream (Only One Continuity)#also hi scar! starscream in your activity feed!

Macbeth (Macbeth) vs Adam (Nier: Automata)

Propaganda below cut (Beware spoilers!)

Macbeth

Witches say he shall be king, so with Lady Macbeth’s help he murders his way to the throne, then backstabs his only allies for fear of them plotting against him. According to the witches, he can only die if the forest marches to his gates, so he’s good to go! Until an army carrying a forest of branches arrives at his gates. a classic

macbeth was too caught up in being manipulated by his hot wife that he failed to notice his declining mental state or the fact that treason is, in fact, Not Good; scottish white boy breaking it down ne’er-be-cleaned style

Adam

He fucked around and found out! Adam was a humanoid machine created in front of androids 2B and 9S. He nearly died to them another guy came out of the stab wound but that's irrelevant to his hubris lol. Connected to a network of machines, he became fixated on humanity (which has "fled to the moon" thousands of years ago), and more importantly, their emotions. He started copying the BIBLE, going "hm yes I'll name myself Adam my brother can be Eve ig, oh lookie here apples make you smart, we don't need to eat but let's eat those" and just like. Buddy. I'm not even Christian or Jewish or anything but I don't think that's what the Bible meant. Anyways, he wonders how androids feel emotions, so, as one does, he kidnaps 9S, just kinda puts him through some good ol' psychological torture, and then stabs him and sort of crucifies him, leaving him alive Now onto the hubris! He leaves 9S there, so when 2B finds 9S, Adam tells he he wants to see HATE firsthand. He disconnects from the network, making him completely mortal, and decided he wants to see 2B fight him. And, obviously, she does, bc she is PISSED. Aaaand Adam promptly gets stabbed and bleeds out on the floor. Fucked around and found out lol;

Hubristic Asshole Fight Round 1 Part 3b

Jurgen Leitner (The Magnus Archives) vs The Scarab (Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake)

Propaganda below cut (Beware spoilers!)

Jurgen

Decided he was so rich and smart and special, he could build and keep contained a library of evil cursed powerful books. Of course this backfires, Jurgen Leitner is almost killed and spends the next decade living in a tunnel system underneath London, presumably shitting in the corners of the cave. The one time he tries to leave the caves he gets beat up by a young goth without knowing why. So back to the caves he goes. A few years later he gets brutal pipe murdered.

Jurgen Leitner was a collector of cursed supernatural books that he thought he could control, despite being kind of a nepo baby with no prior experience. He described himself as ‘I saw myself as a guardian, a reverse Pandora, gathering the evils of the world and locking them away.’ In an even more hubristic move, he marked all his books with the words ‘Property of Jurgen Leitner’. When his library inevitably got destroyed and the books started circulating again, he became universally hated and had to live in the tunnels to hide from people who lost their loved ones to them. He was hyped up as some kind of a major villain throughout the first 2 seasons, but when he ultimately showed up in person, all he did was he delivered some exposition, talked about regretting his life choices in a snotty old man voice, and got killed off almost immediately. He was buried under the name of George Icarus, because even his murderer thought he was a hubristic asshole. I love/hate him very much <3

Scarab

Dude spited his boss and followed an old guy, a 29 year old teenage girl, and a cat across universes just to try and steal a job he thought he deserved from a guy he hates too much. Shockingly this did not work; Hes hot and also cute in a gruesome and super fucked up way and can kick your ass, my ass, and his own ass. Hes loves plants and murder.

Lord Shen (Kung Fu Panda) vs Ego the Living Planet (MCU)

Propaganda below cut!

Shen

Constantly met his destiny on the road to prevent it. Wiped out all the pandas? Nope. One got away with her child, and set him on the path to become the strongest fighter in China. Tried to kill him with a cannon? Oops. Ended up sending him all the way to his original village, letting him master the technique he will use to beat you. Reject their offer to turn over a new leaf and instead attack them? Congratulations! You’re about to be crushed because you keep cutting the strings holding up your super-weapon; He spent like an hour practicing his big intro to intimidate Po, and he interrupted it by just saying “Hey”.

Ego

His plan is working. He’s won over his son by telling him how they can be a family again, and he knows peters wanted that since he lost his mother. He then decides this would be the Perfcet time to casually mention that it was actually him that killed peters mother. Surely this will have no negative consequences oH WHAT WAIT IM BEING SHOT AT AHHHH; Quite possibly the only thing that could’ve broken his mind control thing over Peter and ruined his plan. Idiot forgot peters only half living planet celestial and actually no isn’t gonna agree with his reasoning for killing his mother. And excellent hubris in that his downfall comes literally less than a second later. Peter wastes no time in switching sides and trying to kill him as soon as he finds out. Painful scene but also satisfying, which is what hubris is supposed to be.

Propaganda from a friend on discord:

I want to point out there's literally an episode in the second or third season titled "House vs. God"

He has to treat a faith healer and someone unknown (who turns out to be one of his fellows) starts a scoreboard of cures that can be attritbuted to House vs cures that can be attributed to God

(if anyone's curious, God won that round because the faith healer had a type of genital herpes that he infected a cancer patient with and it caused her cancer to dial back)
