I always kind of wanted Snowden vs. James Bond, but since that won't happen now I'm totally on board with this if just to see Snowden in a battle. They seem a little similar though.Originally Posted by Clemi
EDIT: Oh, forgot that Dante mentioned in his impromptu Twitter Q&A that he likes Snowden vs. George Orwell. I'm also quite a fan of that.

Who won?
Spoiler:
Bon Vivant of Violet
Aquaman vs Ariel. Superhero ruler of Atlantis vs Mermaid Disney princess. I like this suggestion for a few reasons, and I'll list them out for you.
- having a mermaid character in an ERB could turn out very cool if done well
- gives us an excuse to get a very good female rapper in as Ariel (my votes are for either Whitney Avalon or Karmin)
- generally boys like superheroes and girls like Disney princesses
- masculinity in superheroes vs femininity in princesses, and how both of these characters reinforce and challenge these conceptions

Indiana Jones vs Lara Croft or the guy from unchained? (forgot his name)
that's the problem
Uncharted***
And it's Nathan Drake.

What about Forrest Gump vs Benjamin Button?
Okay so I was trying to think of good ideas earlier and I have a newfound appreciation for Marie Curie vs. Amelia Earhart. They both broke through into male-dominated fields and made their mark in them; they also were both ultimately killed by their passions.
I also accidentally came up with Shrek vs. Alexander Hamilton, because they both star in successful musicals, they are both associated with the color green (since Hamilton's on the dollar), and as Sam noticed, they're both part Scottish.
Who won?

Aquaman vs Ariel seems good since you described it. Didn't like it when I saw it but loved it after your description.
Indiana Jones vs Laura Croft could definitely work. I don't really have anything against using video game characters, and I think people remember Croft for Angelina Jolie's decade old portrayal of her. I'd say she's on the border of usable and obscure when it comes to video game characters. Nathan Drake is probably a step too far. I don't think the general public will have any idea who he is. At least with Master Chief, most people know what Halo is.
Forrest Gump vs Benjamin Button is probably one of the more interesting Gump suggestions in my opinion. There's certainly a lot of connection between the two. One problem might be that Button isn't quite as known as the average ERB character. Also, that the connection would be lost on people who haven't seen both movies. Still. I like it better than Gump vs Bolt, because the connection pertains to the Gump character as a whole, rather than just a small aspect of who he is (running).
Marie Curie vs Amelia Earhart seems a bit too historical to me. Not a terrible suggestion though.
Roosevelt vs Flo from progressive and Shrek vs Hamilton seem very very fanmade.
Reaper vs Chris Kyle: I don't even know who that first person is. Chris Kyle doesn't seem like a direction they should really go.
Snowden vs Assange seems obscure, boring and unnecessarily political/edgy
Snowden vs Orwell, anything with Snowden just doesn't seem like it would garner all that much interest imo
