The giant team-up seems like a retrograde, fannish enterprise — teaming up to fight an ultimate evil — but it also makes for a whole lot of redshirts. In this day and age, with a near-omnipotent super-foe mustering his energy against our heroes, that means someone’s probably getting their arms pulled off. I’m not ashamed to admit that in small doses I can find that thing very appealing, the same way I would watch more television reunion shows for things like Growing Pains or Eight Is Enough if there was more stabbing and less hugging.
