Marry, F*ck, or Kill (and a movie trailer)

Banlieue 13: Ultimatum

What's that? A sequel to the bestest free-running-cops-and-robbers-action-movie evar? Ok, the only free-running-cops-and-robbers-action-movie (that I know of), but the point stands. A sequel to Banlieue 13 coming out in February? The gods have been kind.

Next up, a new, and hopefully regular feature here at schmevil, Marry F*ck, or Kill. A quick rundown for the unfamiliar: Marry, F*ck, or Kill is a game, usually involving large consumptions of sugary substances (when teenlets are playing), or alcohol (if aged degenerates are playing). Three characters, people, animals, vegetables or minerals are given, and you must choose one to marry, one to f*ck and one to kill. No fence sitting. No halfsies. Ya gotta choose. So for our inaugural game:

The Trio from Harry Potter: Marry, F*ck or Kill

Avengers AU brainstorm

A scenario for all you Marvel fangirls and boys. Civil War is drawing to a close. Cap surrenders and is taken into custody, as in canon, but when it comes time for Cap to be killed, an agent notices something is up, and sounds the alarm in time for Cap and the others to get out of the way. Cap lives to stand trial and acquits himself well, but is still convicted. Everyone wants to interview him of course, and unlike in CW, he talks the American people about his ideals, about the immoral aspects of the SHRA and how it has been enforced, and he proposes a new strategy of non-violent resistance. He becomes a symbol for a growing movement to roll back the SHRA.

At the same time, the pro-reg side, realizing they're facing a new kind of threat, one they can't punch into silence, start to (publicly at least) clean up their act. They solidify their power, stitch up the holes in the act, make some showy, public moves to demonstrate their leniency. In this scenario the US government has enough time between crises to make some more permanent appointments, and the Initiative gets a little more bureacratized, and comes under much more public scrutiny. People get used to it, but they also get used to criticizing it.

Then WWH comes along and plays out in much the same way, except that the Initiative manages to co-ordinate a more effective response. Hulk and friends still manage to pwn Earth. Tony still offers amnesty to all non-registered heroes who help out. Afterwards, the Illuminati are censured, but Tony and Reed remain popular, faces of the new and effective partnership between government and superheroes. Some heroes take Tony's offer. In this scenario, the excesses of Registration have been restrained, and it seems to kind of be working. And in Cap, dissenters have an alternative to the New Avengers style of resistance.

So who switches sides? Who registers? Who goes to Cap?
