[Objective]

I take it, Adverse has gotten mad. This topic is otherworldly insane and I'm looking forward to see how the likes of Frank and NYC flips this.

NYC: cut off Superman's dick, eh? lmfao, ye, insane girl for sure. 10/10, wouldn't date. First stanza read and I'm digging this shit, Marvel should hire you for the next big hit starring the Octopus bitch, lol. It worked with Deadpool so I don't see why she can't have her own comic as well.

The quad-train on your second stanza: Everyone should take note, THIS is how you do repetition well! The second half of your verse (from "The lagoon bubbled") had a really nice shift of tone and brought it all together all the way to the end.

Amazing story and being a fan of Marvel myself it hit a soft spot speaking to me as a reader, it's this kind of creativity and writtens I'm looking forward to reading and voting on. Your verse is of champ match quality imo, you caught the essence of the topic and made it yours. I'm definitely hype for Frank's verse now.

Frank: Your first stanza is dope af, catches the atmosphere and the storytelling in these two sentences alone sent shivers down my spine:

There were a lot of watchmen flogging on those lonely nights: out on the South Pacific vignette
Since their wives couldn’t follow them, some swimmed to their death, filled with sorrow, drowning: drifting to bed"

Just excellent writing right there. Same goes for this shit:

Where the sharks readily fed on their desires like a frenzy of chum
Fish swimming in and out of their eyelids, descending and sunk
There exoskeletons plunked & glided over the ocean floor becoming sediment crushed
Bodies washing up alongside the shorelines in treasure trunks, headless and stuffed
The Ancient Mariner spoke of a two faced Creature, with a feminist touch

Reading on and getting this: "just to see for themselves, and get this debunked", all I can think of is: man, humans are dumb af and if this was a real story it's this exact stupidity that'd happen, lol.

" It smelled like fins and guts and trimethylamine oxide, a bucket of trimmings and gook"
^lmfao, disgusting af. This story reads like a classic black & white horror movie situated around myths, pirates and mermaids and got that cult status no one can touch. Loving the shit out of it, this on some Moby Dick on steroids x10 kind of shit.

The atmosphere and closing stanza is neatly tied in a bottle you wish you didn't reach bottom of cus you know it'll leave you feigning for more. Good fucking shit.

Vote: Champ match worthy battle right here, and it's tough af to choose a winner among these 2 verses cus both are equally dope to me. Storytelling is dope af in both and capture the essence of the topic given extremely well, tons of character and style to both verses.

Unfortunately I have to pick a winner and it honestly boils down to how fucking well NYCSPITZ use of repetition worked for him here. It's such an incredibly rare thing to see done well, and it was a joy each time "THE DERANGED OCTOPUS BITCH!" came into effect. But man, Frank's story is an epic tale as well and wish this could have been a tie cus both of them deserves the W here.

MVGT NYCSPITZ in the best battle this season of AOWL has seen yet!
