...Need any more be said?

I seriously need to keep myself reminded of just how quickly I can make something if and only if I actually commit to doing so without the hesitation that's kept me inactive so often for so long.

The Samurai

(Parody of "The Scientist" by Coldplay)

Came here to slay you, shogun unholy;

Shapeshifting master of horror.

I shall prevail like my father before me;

Pinning you down on the floor.

What trickery is this? White rings encircle;

Flung to the foulest of futures.

Hopeless dystopia: extraterrestrials;

Bots spawned from endless producers.

Blade of three gods, what I harness;

Oil's spilled extra-thick by the slash.

Jumping the highest and farthest.

Fractured fairy tales are getting me miscast.

Gotta get back to the past.

Now, through time's marching, I remain ageless

As across a warped world I walk.

Spartans and Scotsmen, flying princes and ravers;

Vikings encased in molten rock.

Once met an immortal, guarding a portal;

Said that I wasn't ready yet.

Then, he was too strong; now, I've waited too long,

And Ashi is getting possessed.

Fallen for darkness's daughter;

Oh, it's such a shame we couldn't last.

Allies around me are slaughtered;

I'll bring it to an end in a final flash.

I'm going back to the past.

Watch ooooout!

Watch ooooout!

Watch ooooout!

Watch ooooout!

I may or may not have this recorded in the near future, depending on any attention/feedback on this post.

Conceptually, this one is pretty average in my eyes: a solid matchup for sure but not particularly unique or humorous like others that I hold more fondly; as one comment stated, it's rather surprising that the idea itself isn't more common and had never been depicted before.

I'll admit that David Ohlsen was miscast as Wesker here; he doesn't necessarily sound bad but it's just not accurate to the character's actual voice, and while he's previously sounded nothing like other characters he's played without me so much minding, I'd prefer to hold my current content to higher standards of vocal fidelity compared to my older stuff.

See the page for Sephiroth's far more conventionally fitting voice actor, Caesar Castillo A.K.A. The Midnight Bard here, as well as here.

The bit with the reanimated Aerith, artistically rendered by @Fruzmig as is so often the case with unique visual elements in my battles, was inspired by a comment I came across during the production of ERBoH's Rick Grimes Vs. Walter White regarding the zombies it was known would be appearing in the battle, suggesting that they would be Walter White's own victims. That would have been particularly appropriate, considering how the most famously graphic such casualty in Breaking Bad was guest-designed by the effects team from The Walking Dead.

The main challenge in writing this was the question of how much to focus on the actual finished products of either film represented versus the history of their infamous creation processes and how different and better they could have turned out. In Zigzag's case, I had little choice but to lean more towards the former approach since by all accounts, his role was the most fully-realized and least interfered-with compared to the other characters and storylines in The Thief and the Cobbler... with the convenient exception of an intended climax involving an illusory dragon, leading to its appearance here opposite the dark deity Supai, both artistically rendered by Fruzmig.

Additional huge special thanks for visual contribution here go to YDGeon for the ending animation.

The idea that evolved into this started years prior as Zigzag Vs. Jafar, with the Genie replacing the latter mid-battle, which I quickly abandoned after Robin Williams' official appearance with the prominent references to his Aladdin role in ERB; it's still crazy how that's still the most representation they've ever given a Disney animated film, though if such had to be limited to a depiction of an actor visually evoking their Disney character while still primarily representing the real person, Robin Williams was certainly as worthy a choice as any.
