Would crossovers matter?

We all know that crossovers aren't allowed via the forum rules, but what if that suddenly changed? If tomorrow, all crossovers were allowed and considered as valid as canon appearances are there any particular fights or topics you would shift your position on given the new evidence?

Honestly, no. Even leaving out the fact that most crossovers are just not very well-written (and use massive amounts of PIS to make fights that shouldn't be competitive last longer than ten seconds), they're still just single showings among the hundreds each character possesses.

"But BOTH Marvel and DC say X" isn't some damning evidence that can't be argued against. At least not to me.

Hell no, the crossovers generally have bad writing and are inconsistent. Imo, that matters are the average showings.

Hell nooooo

It’s mostly fan service

I think most opinions aren’t decided on individual showings, but the overall portrayal of characters. Then people use individual showings to back up their position.

So if crossovers were allowed, they probably wouldn’t be decisive to change people’s minds, but they would provide more evidence for already established positions. Of course, if the writing is terrible, that showing shouldn’t carry a ton of weight.

Is this another one of them UnWritten KMC Rules that tends to change on the whim of the mods?

I'm going to tell you this once: Keep your whiny, "I'm the victim" shtick off of this section of KMC. Or, keep going a hypocrite, and I'll ban you.

Sure Thing Squiggy!

Uh-huh. And just for future reference, the rules are clearly laid out here:

And have been since before you were even a member here.

Wow... Thatsa Lot of Rules!

Yes, they'd matter.

It would definitely prove that Superman going close to all out, using speed, heat vision and flight, is able to barely beat Thor if Thor specifically only uses melee.

Also that regardless of how close to Thor he is, Superman cannot dodge Mjolnir even when Thor shouts he's going to throw it at him.

I was willing to forgive the Superman stuff, but Cardi B? Really?

If it in canon, Then should be matter, But all in all it just a few showings for a character, There are still a lot of other issues to use IMO

If crossovers mattered ... Orion's solid, no-sweat defeat by Surfer would be rather astonishing.

Imagine recognising Cardi B, whoever that is.

Well said. 👆

The Hunger happened before Surfer’s apparent nerf-down and everyone in DC’s apparent uber-amp, so even though it’s astonishing by a crossover’s standard, where there’s an unwritten rule to avoid any one-sidedness, it was not *that* crazy imo

Just admit you want Venom being superior to Superman be usable.

I also think they would matter to an extent. There simply isn't enough crossovers to make a huge difference though.
