As someone who is not a sports fan, I never understood the appeal of fantasy leagues. But thanks to a new Twitter challenge from Vanity Fair‘s Joanna Robinson, I think I finally get the appeal. Robinson asked Twitter followers who their perfect Avengers/Game of Thrones mash-up would be, and nerd brains all across social media started speculating about dream teams.
On @StormofSpoilers this week we tried to come up with the perfect #GameOfThrones #Avengers mash-up team. This is mine, what’s yours? #EndgameOfThrones pic.twitter.com/s0iQMesiES

Also workshopped the idea of these Bros for their clanking high fives alone. pic.twitter.com/p0IY3bzVtS

Frankly, I’m surprised it took this long for someone to come up with this. After all, GOT and the MCU are easily the two hottest genre franchises right now, both with devoted social media fandoms and a massive roster of characters. Playing matchmaker between the casts is the crossover to end all crossovers. People have been weighing in on their top picks, here are some of our favorites:

Honestly I see Tony as more of a Jaime Lannister type but I’m into this:
These two would get along like gangbusters. Both snarky and womanizing and love to drink. Bronn is loyal for money, and Tony has ALL the money. pic.twitter.com/ZWKbVjA4Vm

The Hound + Drax Would be a Power Team of Man Anger:

Best part of this pairing would be when Loki inevitably attempts to double cross House Tyrell only to find Lady Olenna two steps ahead and having a glass of wine. pic.twitter.com/b8QJKhROeO
