Just watched Beetlejuice 2. Now I have a question. Who would win in a fight? Beetlejuice from Beetlejuice or Q from Star Trek?

“Ah. Well... I attended Starfleet Academy... I’m a graduate of the Vulcan Science Academy engineering school. I travel interstellar quite extensively. I lived through the Qu’Vat Plague and had a pretty good time during that. I’ve taken the KOBAYASHI MARU EXAM ABOUT A HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN TIMES, AND IT KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER EVERY SINGLE TIME I DO IT... NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT YOU’RE TALKING TO A DEAD GUY... NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK? You think I’m qualified?”

Thanks for the clarification of Beetlejuice from Beetlejuice so I didn't mistakenly think you meant Beetlejuice from Casablanca or Pride & Prejudice or Backdoor Sluts 9.

Don’t read the title out loud. Also, Q.

Random but I showed my partner the first few episodes of TNG, and they refused to believe Q wasn’t played by James Woods, they saw the credits and everything but now I can’t unsee Q as James Woods

[-]

caesarfecit@reddit

James Woods's entire career is playing snarky morally-grey or dark characters so he would have done the role justice.

John de Lancie however manages to make Q likeable despite his character being annoying at best and borderline malevolent at worst.

James Woods I suspect would play Q as a much darker character, closer to Hades from Disney Hercules rather than Star Trek's Puck.

[-]

-totallynotanalien-@reddit

You’re so right!! I really love John De Lancie (although I’m ashamed to say I know him from breaking bad and this only) but he plays the role amazing!!!

I can definitely imagine James woods playing it like that, when I think about him I think about Family Guy, so my first thought when I think of James Woods Is a bastard hahaha, but maybe in an alternate universe that character would’ve been played by him!

[-]

conenubi701@reddit

Q is a better human than James Woods, and Q isn't even human.

[-]

-totallynotanalien-@reddit

Hahaha best roast ever

[-]

Seahawk124@reddit

I'd love to see Q get fucked, for once.

[-]

caesarfecit@reddit

Then watch Deja Q again - arguably one of the funniest Next Gen episodes of all time, just for the exchange between Q and Worf and the origin of the Picard facepalm.

[-]

Seahawk124@reddit

Capt. Picard: Return that moon to its orbit.

Q: I have no powers! Q the ordinary.

Capt. Picard: Q the liar! Q the misanthrope!

Q: Q the miserable, Q the desperate! What must I do to convince you people?

Lieutenant Worf: Die.

Q: Oh, very clever, Worf. Eat any good books lately?

[-]

caesarfecit@reddit

That's the one! Probably one of the funniest things Worf ever says along with "I am NOT a Merry Man!"

[-]

Seahawk124@reddit

I love the books line. Have used that agaisnt bullies at school.

[-]

StanleyRuxy@reddit

Q no question

[-]

ArbutusPhD@reddit

Question: when Q? Like, when in time?

[-]

Malacro@reddit

Trick question: Q exists independent of time (except when he doesn’t).

[-]

StanleyRuxy@reddit

I knew I wasn’t getting it..should have left it alone 😳

[-]

StanleyRuxy@reddit

Nice. Hmm…let’s say the 22nd and 24th century.

[-]

MrSmootholio@reddit

I dunno, does Q have control of realms beyond our universe? Something tells me a quasi-god might have a challenge altering the domain of an even higher power. So if it's in the afterlife, Mr. Juice may have a shot.

In the living world he's fucked though.

[-]

StanleyRuxy@reddit

Yes. Q is immensely powerful, capable of traveling nearly anywhere in existence. Q was able to cross universes and timelines. But, who knows what the after life is. In a way they are similar characters, trickster, observers, and gatekeepers.

[-]

Floydzs1@reddit

Q without any doubt

[-]

Suspicious-Battle916@reddit

Beetlejuice is a Q.

[-]

caesarfecit@reddit

Maybe in an alternate universe. In his universe, Beetlejuice has limitations which the Q do not.

[-]

Averander@reddit

I think Q would like his style, but if it was a battle, Q would decimate.

[-]

caesarfecit@reddit

Would literally be over in a finger snap, Thanos style.

[-]

caesarfecit@reddit

Beetlejuice is a supernatural entity, Q is God-like.

If it was just a pure snark battle, that would be more interesting than just power rankings because on the face of it, they're not in the same league.

[-]

etranger033@reddit

Saying Q Q Q does not work. Nuff said.

[-]

Kulban@reddit

I know everyone says Q. But here's the thing: there is no afterlife in the star trek universe. Q ceases to exist when he dies. Beetlejuice comes from a dimension 100% foreign to Q, so much so his science could never comprehend it let alone conceive of it.

Not only does Beetlejuice come from this dimension he can manipulate reality using it.

Like a 4th dimensional being attacking a 3rd dimensional one, it's one sided. One of them annihilates the other with extreme ease. Q can manipulate his dimension all he likes, but it's still powers bound within his dimension.

I know this matchup is a joke and the answer seems obvious to many here, but I'm not quite so sure.

[-]

DarwinGoneWild@reddit

Beetlejuice is a ghost. He should be matched up against the ghost that Beverly and her grandma were banging.

[-]

StarfleetClassOf2386@reddit

Who's to say that wasn't Beetlejuice

[-]

RunnyPlease@reddit

He is the ghost with the most.

[-]

Superman246o1@reddit

The Juice was loose.

[-]

deadmeatsandwich@reddit

Hey, wasn’t the misty ghost stuff green?! Might be onto something.

[-]

WrathsDetour@reddit

The script :-)

[-]

IceWarm1980@reddit

That would be a crazy crossover. I can see Beetlejuice bragging about it.

[-]

themightythor2024@reddit

Was beetle juice the ghost that tried to assault dr crusher? He is a real sex pest of a ghost

[-]

triggeron@reddit

I'd watch that episode.

[-]

Throwaway_inSC_79@reddit

Who’s to say they wouldn’t team up? I think they’d enjoy some pretty fun antics together.

[-]

MrSmootholio@reddit

I dunno, Q doesn't seem to like bad people

[-]

BabyMakR1@reddit

Whoever the writer wants to win.

I could write a story where Barton's kid tears Superman limb from limb.

[-]

MrSmootholio@reddit

I would read that.

If I were writing it I'd like Q to win because he's a better guy than Beetlejuice. Dude's got lessons and a heart, Beetlejuice is just a scumbag who deserves to lose.

[-]

ArtemisDarklight@reddit

Q is basically a god. Beetlejuice is a poltergeist.

[-]

Electric-RedPanda@reddit

lol Q

[-]

gonowbegonewithyou@reddit

Q. Q. Q.

[-]

awhiteknight1999@reddit

Q obviously.

[-]

regeya@reddit

Has anyone ever tried to do an edit of Bruce Wayne and Beetlejuice together? Seems like he'd make a decent Joker.

[-]

JavierBorden@reddit

You make a good point. Betelgeuse isn't a fighter, he's a trickster.

[-]

regeya@reddit

I think Q would just snap him out of existence but they'd have fun with each other first.

Rick Sanchez enters the conference room

Oh wooooow, a space ship with carpeting. Got to love those little robots that go flying when you hit a gravimetric shear.

belches and cracks open another beer

Look…taking your two action figures and having them fight is fun and all, but let’s get real. That’s boring…blah blah who would win Civil War, Tony or Steve…blah blah can Batman have more prep time? Can Omni-man replace Homelander’s mommy issue’s?

What you really want is to pit them against the greatest officer in Star Fleet history…Miles Edward O’Brien. Because he counts as TNG bitches…even if he was in the far superior DS9 and technically also TOS.

Yeah, I said what I said.

So, so, so, so you gotta look at it from that angle. Who is going to hurt Miles more? How does Miles get tortured the best?

And it’s that ghost with the most, Bee to the El to the Juice! He haunts the living to make them succumb to his whims. Q is powerful but he like warned humanity of the Borg and tried to pork Janeway. Without coffee.

So like on a who is torturing Miles more scale, it’s the undead haunter.
