Round One: Geralt of Rivia vs. Deadpool

Publish date: 2024-06-09
I'm on team Geralt for this one.

I tend to think of how these fights will literally play out rather than how Ech picks the stronger of the two based on several categories (not that I'm willing to concede right away that Deadpool is the stronger character, but that's not the point I will be making here).

Here's what nobody is mentioning: Deadpool is a fool. He's an asskicking fool, but a fool nonetheless. There's no way Deadpool is going to look at Geralt in all his badassery with two swords strapped on his back and not think, "Oh my god, I need to sword fight this guy!" Furthermore, Deadpool is cosmically aware and may very well know who Geralt is, which will only increase his desire to cross blades with Geralt.

Of course, Deadpool won't beat Geralt in a sword fight. Geralt has fought off dozens of sword toting baddies at once, and a single Deadpool will not match that level of difficulty. And as soon as Deadpool realizes that he's not going to beat Geralt by the blade, he'll pull out one of his guns and aim that sucker squarely at Geralt's temple, say something goofy, and pull the trigger. Unfortunately, that's when he'll find out that Geralt has protected himself with a Quen spell, shielding him from all damage. The bullet will undoubtedly break the shield, but when a Quen shield breaks it bursts, sending all nearby enemies flying to the ground. Geralt doesn't waste time with goofy one-liners, cuts Deadpool's head off, ties it to his horse, and rides on to round 2.

Of course, Deadpool's body would slowly grow back underneath his head, but by the time that happens, Geralt will already be balls deep in one of his many sexy sorceress girlfriends.
