What if the Justice League was Real?
Welcome back to Lifeís Biggest Questions.
Hi, Iím Ron McKenzie-Lefurgey.
You may remember me from such channels as ìTop 10 Nerdî and ìTop 10 Gamingî.
Ahem, anyway, if this video floats your boat, we have plenty more nerdy videos over there,
so check them out!
And now, in keeping with the Matt Groening theme, good news everyone!
The Justice League movie will soon be upon us, and itís looking like it will be bonkers.
With the public praying that this new film will reach the high bar set by Wonder Woman,
everyone has Justice League on the mind.
Although coming from Top 10 Nerd, maybe Iím just a bit biased.
That said, while the idea of watching superheroes go at it on film may be appealing, having
a Justice League in real life wouldnít be all sunshine and daisies.
So letís explore a subject dear to my heart, and ask the question: What if the Justice
League was real?
One big problem that comes with the Justice League being real is that with Superheroes
come Supervillains.
And supervillains are a bunch of jerks.
We would be living in constant fear of attack; you never know when someone will just turn
into a giant monster, or threaten to blow up a city.
Maybe a giant alien guy will try to destroy the whole world.
Maybe youíll be mind-controlled and forced to do the bidding of your evil overlord.
Supervillains make the world a terrifying and uncertain place.
But the heroes could just beat the villains and everything would be okay, right?
Not so much.
If the Justice League was real, chances are the League would lose pretty darn quickly.
In the real world, villains have a huge advantage over heroes.
Without all those pesky morals getting in the way, itís much easier to get what you
want.
If the Justice League was a reality, they would likely have to loosen their morals and
become a bit more okay with killing dudes if they want to compete against the likes
of the Joker or Lex Luthor.
Because a lot of the time, if you spare a villainís life, you donít become lifelong
comrades after; they generally just come back and kill ya.
So if the Justice League was realÖ it wouldnít be real for very long.
And you know what they say about being ruled by evil villains: It sucks!
That said, all this talk about heroes and villains brings up another point: people would
have superpowers.
With all the crazy energies and inhuman mutations, people around the world would start showing
crazy powers, and not all of them would pick a side.
If there are superpowers, not many people will actually be a hero or a villain.
Many would just keep to themselves and quietly use their powers to their advantage.
Youíd never know who might have secret mind-reading powers.
Maybe thereís some invisible creeper watching you change.
Maybe your mom REALLY DOES have eyes on the back of her head.
The possibilities are endlessÖ and pretty disconcerting.
Another thing that has been seeing increasingly more screentime in both Marvel and DC movies
is the destruction that happens because of the Justice League.
True, the destruction is generally less than it would have been if the League intervened,
but many people underestimate just how crazy it would be in Metropolis or Gotham.
A mugging here, a bank robbery there, a giant space alien intent on total destruction of
Earth over thereÖ life would be insanely dangerous.
Heck, even pop culture would be vastly different.
Shows like Seinfeld would tell the mundane stories of everyday folksÖ except when the
Earth is under attack.
ìJerry, I found the perfect parking spot, the PERFECT spot Jerry, then BOOM!
My car is incinerated.î ìIncinerated?î ìTo-ta-lly incinerated Jerry!î ìYou should
go give Superman a piece of your mindî.
This roleplay was brought to you by: terrible impressions.
Another implication of a world with the Justice League is that wars would be fought far differently.
With so many people being so very powerful, contrary to what they say in the Fallout series,
war would change.
Infantry and artillery become rather useless when you start throwing superpowers into the
mix.
Forget a super soldier serum: if one side has Superman, there isnít a whole lot regular
people can do, even beefed up with the serum.
Letís just hope Kalíel doesnít land in North Korea.
What?
I HAD to have North Korea SOMEWHERE in this video.
And now we return to our question: What if the Justice League was Real?
Well, in a world where superheroes and supervillains constantly fight for control, things can get
pretty hairy for normal people.
Death and destruction would be far more commonplace, and chances are the villains would end up
on top pretty soon.
However, during the rise of our eventual evil overlord, much of our society would change.
People around the world would be harbouring hidden or not so hidden powers.
Wars would be fought almost exclusively with superpowered individuals.
Even pop culture would change, with crazy and dangerous events becoming somewhat mundane.
And, of course, since everyone will be saying it in the commentsÖ the Justice League movie
wouldnít be madeÖ unless it was a documentary.
