Who doesn’t love an awesome super villain? I was lucky enough to be scrolling through Twitter this morning when I saw a thread that combined two of my favorite things. The NFL and what looked like creatures of myth. These AI generated monsters look straight out of a newer Mortal Kombat game. The advances in science is finally being used for good. Who cares about diseases and famine? No, fuck that. These monsters are the cat’s meow.
I hate to admit it, but the Cowboys super villain looks like a more badass version of Raiden. I think they stole the Buccaneer from the Pirates of the Caribbean series, but it’s still sweet. The Texans might suck on the field, but damn that bull head looks incredible, like a cooler Sauron. The Dolphin, well, it’s just not a dolphin but it is sweet looking.
The Detroit Lion super villain is definitely a top 5 new mascot for me. It is a mix of the Beast from X-Men and Raiden. That’s just sweet. The Bengals creature is just kind of mid for me. The colors look great, but I think the neck is just too long. OK, now the Raven is pretty badass. It is what I think the Dementor should have been in Harry Potter. The Chargers character reminds me of Kratos, which is always cool.
Can you say really cool version of Black Panther? Thats is exactly what the Jaguars Villain looks like. Freaking sweet. No comparisons when it comes to the Carolina Panther, just bad ass. I mean come on, this one is easy; the Saints creature looks like the Mountain from Game of Thrones with much cooler gear. The Chicago Bear looks like what I think the Cocaine Bear thinks he looks like while on cocaine. If you understood that, then you’ll agree.
Now I am having a difficult decision with the Rams monster. Do I love it? Or do I hate it? Please someone help me through this one. Hate to admit this because I hate the Pats, but that creature is giving off swag. A much more in fit version of The Thing from Fantastic Four vibes. Eh, is what I say about the Bills mascot. Looks like one of the dumb Orcs from Lord of the Rings. Ok, see the Steelers villain is badass. It is a sweet mix of the Terminator and the Silver Surfer; absolutely sweet.
If you know Hawkman from D.C. comics, the Cardinal is him mixed with Kratos from God of War and I am all for it. It’s weird, in the face the Eagles creature looks like Wolverine and is cool, but the body and wings fall flat for me. The creators of these did a great job on them, but the Browns monster kind of sucks. Just boring. Just like the Browns. The Packers villain is very cool and original. I like it.
If you’re a Game of Thrones fan, you’ll love the Colts monster. It is the Night King with badass armor, and that’s just cool. The Chiefs villain is a top 5 for me. It looks like what I would picture a Mayan, Alien leader. That’s just really awesome. Does anyone else get Predator with sick armor vibes from the Raiders? Now, the Jets. I can’t tell if I love it or hate it. It looks like the coolest version of Aquaman, but does that mean Jets?
While the Viking looks cool, he also kind of looks like big guys from Norway with some armor. Tell me I am not the only one who sees a two-toned Goro from Mortal Kombat on the Giants monster. Oh, that’s not an insult. That is a huge compliment. The Falcons villain is okay. Anyone else see a steroided up zombie Gimli in the 49ers monster? It’s pretty freaking cool and unique.
I did just say the Chiefs monster looked like a Mayan, alien, God-like creature. The Commanders is the same, but Aztec; and they should fight each other, lol. Hmmmmm, the Titan looks like Thanos if he was a Greek Demi-God, and there is nothing wrong with that. I think we can all agree the Broncos is the worst one. It is just not cool and that’s ok. The other villains need to beat up on someone. Last but not least, the Seahawk creature. It is exactly what you would expect from Seattle.
