Goliath had no idea where he was.
Well, that wasn't entirely accurate. He knew that he was on a distant planet, but he had no idea what that planet was.
It was hard to make sure that he could stay safe. Sure, it took nearly 170 hours since he arrived, but he wasn't going to risk turning to stone in the middle of flight. Especially since he had lost the old amulet that Fate had given him to bypass that weakness. Dammit if this place weren't so shrouded in darkness, he might be able to move around more effectively. Maybe even find someone to-
"…"
Goliath turned to where he heard the noise. It couldn't be. Just because he was named after them didn't mean he could move as effectively as them.
"…!"
Now that voice, he recognized. If anyone could navigate this place with little trouble, it would be her.
"…?"
Okay, him too. Taking careful steps, Goliath made his way to the voices he heard.
"All I'm saying is that your fanbase can be pretty insufferable. Almost as blind to your weaknesses as you are in this place."
"And while I don't disagree with you Toph, declaring them all to be as detestable for the actions of a few is not the answer."
"Bats…" Daredevil pointed out, "Your fans decry Superman as 'boring' because he's basically a god who never loses. But then they act as if you're awesome because you never lose. If they can't see that kind of double standard that's literally right in front of them that they themselves perpetuate, then I'm not sure about their ability to stop acting like entitled idiots."
"Clark is actually good at his job though. Actually building for the future. If my fans are too blind to realize that without him, the superhero genre as a whole wouldn't exist as we know it now, then that's their fault for that."
"Uh huh. And how many comments were there that claimed that Panther only won because of Black History Month when he bodied you way back when?" Toph asked.
"Wait, I thought that there were comments about his movie that caused him to win."
"It was both, unfortunately." Batman sighed, "But I'm still not going to demonize an entire group of people just for the actions of a few."
"Bats, every time there's an 'evil Superman' story, your writers more often than not make you the guy who opposes him."
"What's your point, Daredevil?"
"Your writers literally make you, the white billionaire CEO, oppose the literal illegal alien. Given how many times Tony's screwed people over with his WMDs and 'I know better attitude', I'm surprised that you haven't endangered the world yet and forced Superman to take you down."
"So what are you saying? That my writers are racist?"
"No. At least, not intentionally." Daredevil pointed out, "There are plenty of problems that people have, and working through them is the best way to go about it. Nobody's perfect."
"OW!"
"Wait, did you hear that?"
"Yeah, it sounded like… Goliath? What are you doing here?"
"Ugh, I was about to ask you the same thing." The gargoyle replied, "Do you three know what happened?"
"Not in the slightest. We just remember being on the Death Star, then a bunch of explosions happened, and now we're here. Any ideas if anybody else is here? It would be nice to have Ace's fire."
"Yeah. Because his lighting things up would definitely help us." Toph scoffed.
"… I meant for warmth." Daredevil clarified.
"Oh… Right…"
"Remind me again why we can't just kill this guy?"
"You're welcome to carry his remains around if we do, Edward." Tatsumaki muttered.
"I still can't believe that he started a riot and hanged a despot on his own." Mob muttered, "It was… disturbing, if I had to use only one word."
"Oh come now, it was a laugh! HAHAHAHA!- HURK!"
"Thanks for shutting him up, Kenshiro." Ed added, "When you get desensitized to Joker's maniacal laugh, it's… Certainly an issue."
"No problem." Kenshiro replied, "However, I do agree that perhaps we should simply end him."
"We have to be pragmatic about it." Tatsumaki sighed, "I hate it too, but Joker's weird cult is basically all we have as backup for any future fights."
"Yeah, speaking of, do they have to follow so close right now?"
"We want to hear the wisdom of the Joker!"
"Shut up, Harold!"
"I think that they're more annoying than creepy. Like… The concept of a bunch of people worshipping a mass murderer can only be used so many times in a piece of media before it gets very blatant as to what you're talking about, and eventually, people forget that blind worship of anyone is bad, and they say 'my guy isn't that bad, so my blind worship of him is okay.'" Mob pointed out.
"Blind worship and reverence of anyone is bad." Tatsumaki pointed out, "It's not like people are basically just ignoring the horrible things that a person did all because they're the guy they were rooting for."
"… Tatsumaki, did you forget the show that got us here in the first place?" Ed asked, "People basically ignore whatever bad things a character did on the basis that they were rooting for them to win the fight."
"And then there's the death threats."
"And then there's the death threats, and how did he wake up so fast?"
"Oh come on! Where's the fun in staying unconscious?
Pinkie: Okay, so… Any ideas as to why there's a billiards room here? Without any Billiards.
Alexis: Chirp chirp chirp… Tweet?
Pinkie: I don't know. But we're going to find out, and when we do, we're going to- And the door we came in through leads to a different room than we were in before. I really don't like this place.
Alexis: Chirp tweet chirp…
