Fandom Mashups (1): Desert Island Dream Team

My friend Micheline over at Lunar Rainbows Reviews has launched this awesome, fun new feature on her blog where we build a "dream team" of five members from different fandoms based on a given scenario. The first scenario is:

You're stranded on a deserted island. Who do you want there with you?

Ahhhh, so many choices! Here would be mine:

  1. Tony Stark/Iron Man: Um, is this cheating because he could pretty much just fly everyone off of the island? Eh, whatever, because he's staying on the list, lol! Even if he's armor-less, he'd still figure out a way back to civilization or just build a new one on the island!
  2. Katniss Everdeen: Katniss is one of the first fictional characters who springs to mind when I think of the word "survival." She knows how to live off the land, whereas I am totally useless at that sort of thing. You have to know your strengths, and this is so NOT one of mine.
  3. Lisa Simpson: Not only is she brilliant, but there was that Simpsons episode, "Das Bus," that parodied Lord of the Flies, so she has prior experience with this type of situation as well!
  4. Bronn: I'm thinking of last week's episode of Game of Thrones, where Bronn and Jaime Lannister traveled to Dorne. Bronn had to row a boat and use his formidable skills with a sword and dagger—surely these are skills that would come in handy here. Plus he's hilarious, so look no further for the comic relief!
  5. Sirius Black: Sirius's animagus form could be pretty useful, plus . . . it's Sirius! :D

  1. I would have never thought about Lisa Simpson, but that is a great pick!

  3. I love your list. I used to adore Lisa Simpson. She was even part of my inspiration for picking out and playing the saxaphone back in sixth grade. I had to give it up after that b/c it was just to heavy for me to carry all the time. I wish I had been able to stick with it til this day though. And YES to Bronn all day long.

    1. Bronn has already demonstrated excellent survival skills, lol. I think Jaime chose very well when he asked Bronn to go with to Dorne!

  4. You picked such a great list!! I wish I thought of Sirius Black, he would be perfect on! Also, like you said, he's Sirius so who wouldn't want him on their team, besides Snape that is.
    I love what you said about Tony Stark =D. he would just build a new business and theme park on the island and we would just take a tourist sight-seeing boat off the island :)

    1. Tony would definitely see a business opportunity in this, lol. The island would never be deserted again, thanks to all of the tourist activity he would bring to it! XD
