Slice of life: The question to end all questions

NOTE: Above I have added a poll so you can answer the most epic question in the universe

"So Sloan what do you think?"
Maisie looks at me with her eyebrow raised smirking. I have absolutely no idea what is going on, What I do know is:
- I am at camp
- Ava and Maisie are debating something... again
- I am the deciding factor in this debate
- There are 9 animal heads on the walls ( three rams, one moose, four deer, and one mountain lion)
- I probably should  have been paying attention instead of counting animal heads

" umm... what" I say with an apologetic smile
Ava and Maisie sigh in unison
" Marvel or DC" Ava says pulling her dirty blonde hair into a pony tail
Oh god
The question to end all questions
the ultimate debate and I don't have a side
" I can't choose" I say
"Uggh just say DC" Maisie says " I mean they have Wonder Woman and Batman"
" True" I say '" But Marvel has Rouge and Deadpool, both of which are awesome"
" Exactly!" Ava says triumphantly " and don't forget that DC created Aquaman, commonly agreed to be one of the worst superheroes of all time"
Maisie adjusts her glasses and takes in a deep breath
" Marvel created The Fantastic Four movies commonly agreed to be some of the worst superhero films of all time"
"While that may be true" I say " Marvel did make The Avengers, which was not only directed by Joss Whedon, god of awesome, but was overall an amazing movie"
" and" Ava says smiling " Marvel does have a Doctor Who comic"
" Which is a good comic" I respond " but it constantly ignores the source material, which is so annoying"
"That may be annoying" Ava responds " but Marvel does have a bunch of great movies"
" But does that fix the horror that was the Ghost Rider movie"
"It wasn't that bad"
" Casting Nicholas Cage as Ghost Rider wasn't that bad?" Maisie says " He took one of the best Marvel heroes and butchered it"
"Which is true, also DC is extremely successful when it comes to TV, I mean Arrow, The Flash, Gotham."
" Yes" says Ava " but don't forget that DC allowed Batman and Robin to be made"
Ava turns to Maisie
"Which some consider to be the worst film of all time"
Maisie smiles
" Thank you Ava, I was about to bring up the Batman series" Maisie says" Did I mention that DC made The Dark Night series and both of Tim Burton's Batman's, both of which are critically acclaimed and loved by many"
Right as Maisie finishes the bell rings signaling us that it is time for Dinner.
"This isn't over Maisie" says Ava
" Bring it" Maisie replies
We grab our back packs and walk out of the common area, and run towards the dinning hall.

  1. Wow, that was a long argument, so which one DO you like more? Marvel or DC? Great slice!

  2. HAH. I don't know very much about Marvel and DC. Except that they are comic book companies. And Marvel was a character in Suzanne Colins's Hunger Games franchise. And DC stands for District of Colombia.

  3. HA! I would probably have to go with Marvel. IT HAS IRON MAN!!! but DC has Batman, so it is about even, but Marvel wins by a fraction.

  4. Your introduction has some good suspense as we wonder what exactly is going on. And I love your descriptions of eyebrow raising and sighing. Totally familiar.
