Rocket vs. Iron Man
And, boy are they mad at each other.
What are they screaming at each other so loudly that there is a pool full of spittle?
Wizard Wars. Of course. Tony wants to play the way he wants to play; Rocket wants him to play by the rules. Roll the dice, Stark! Just roll the dice! That being said, it's adorable that Rocket plays a Dungeons and Dragons type game with Thor, Illyria, and Deadpool. (Illyria walks off saying that playing with demons in Limbo is more fun, because they're real, at least.)
Stark insists that his fantasy football 'thing' is less nerdy than this. Alright, Stark. Whatever. Maybe that's the booziness talking. Except it's not. Not when his fantasy football 'thing' is a game played on a worldwide football field with aliens and a coach who goes all swoon-y when Rocket takes his heart advice a little too literally and there are actual hearts flying around. Which Rocket only got involved with because Tony said he would play Wizard Wars fair and square if Rocket could last one day in his fantasy football game. If Tony wins, he can play Wizard Wars how he wants - no rolling dice, bringing in dragons willy nilly, even without the dragons expansion pack.
I think I got kind of swoon-y that Rocket is such a nerd that he gets super anal about the rules of his RPG. It's unexpected and really, really endears me to him. I hate when people break the rules in RPGs, too, which is why the ones I played in had a stupidity clause. (If you did anything particularly stupid, your character could die. The gamemaster would not save you or resurrect you. Keep in mind I played not in tabletop games but online games where the characters were divided up and each player had at least one and up to usually two or three and it was a story we were telling by having our characters react to the others via posts which ranged from one line to multiple paragraphs, bordering on chapters sometimes.) Basically it was relatable and I laughed louder because I recognized myself in this. Yay!
