PEEHS Superheroes

    Greetings.

    Having had fun through other's labours, I felt it was time to give something back.

    This is a PEEHS game - the aim is to get the most obscure answer, preferably an ace - i.e. one that none else gets. (Just realised PEEHS is sheep backwards. D’oh!)
    As it’s a peehs, no googling. (Or any other search engine, IMDB etc.)
    Scoring will be as follows:
    Non ace answer - points equal the amount of people who choose that answer. The answer with the most choices is the sheep - but apart from being the highest points, no further penalties.
    An ace answer is zero points.
    An incorrect answer earns the sheep + 1 points.

    I've tried to tailor the questions so there is a good mix of large answer pools vs shallower ones to give a good chance for all.

    Entry is open until Friday midnight (2020-03-27 23:59)
    And I hope to have the outcome Sunday evening.

    The subject is Superheroes.
    Some clarifications first:
    When I refer to a ‘movie’, I mean any movie, animated or live action, that has had a cinematic release. Most of the animated movies have not had cinematic releases, so be careful there.
    For the animated movie questions, the answer does not have to have had a cinematic release.
    A TV show is a live action show - none of the cartoons are included in the quiz.
    A Marvel movie/show is one based on a Marvel comic, whether made by Sony/Disney/Fox/Other. The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is a specific subset of this, being a movie (or show) set in the shared MCU.
    Similarly a DC movie/show is one based on a DC comic. The DC Extended Universe is again just a subset of this.
    And a non DC - non Marvel movie /show is obviously one not based on a DC or Marvel comic - whether it’s based on an existing comic hero or an original creation.
    A villain is specifically a main villain, not a henchman or pawn.

    The genre Superhero can be a bit nebulous. For this quiz, I have final say on this (Maniacal laugh) but will be fairly generous with the genre boundaries. In general, we're looking at someone (powered or unpowered, hero or antihero) fighting the badguys.
    Finally, only titles from 1978 onward are eligible.

    So, if you're interested, PM me your unnumbered answer list.
    1. Name a Marvel movie
    2. Now name a DC movie.
    3. Name a non-DC / non-Marvel movie.
    4. Name a DC animated movie.
    5. And now a non-DC animated movie.
    6. A TV show based on a Marvel series(s)
    7. Surprise - now a DC TV show.
    8. And a TV show not based on DC / Marvel.
    9. Any actor to have played Spider Man
    10. An actor who has played a Spidey villain.
    11. Any actor to have played Batman.
    12. And his arch-nemesis, the Joker.
    13. Any actor to play Superman.
    14. Any main villain from a MCU or DC-Extended movie (character name).
    15. Any character that appeared in the Arrrowverse Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover event.
    16. Any character 'dusted' in Avengers:Infinity War
    17. Any Superhero movie with Nicolas Cage in it.
    18. For fun: Favourite Batman / Joker / Superhero movie (for fun - no scoring).

    The one SHEEP/PEEHS I've done where I couldn't give the remotest of guesses how I'll do. I've given answers that I'm not sure if they meet the individual criteria or not.

    I don't even understand the questions.................

    So, yeah, I'll give it a go over next few days

    Just for clarification, for question 14 a it a character name or actor name you're looking for?

    And question 18, isn't being included as part of the Sheep right?

    Good question as it's between the actor and character question blocks.

    I'm looking for character name. I'll update the questions accordingly.

    And the last one is not being scored.

    To edit the title of the thread?

    Only a mod can do so.

    One of the Mods will have to change it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Send Baggly or quickbeam a message and ask them to change it for you, they're usually floating about.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Let me know when and I'll change it for you
