I think it's interesting how we judge the outcomes of the battles of Beleriand when the elves are up against a foe that, objectively speaking, cannot be defeated by elven might. Like, you can say the outcome of this battle or that battle might have been different, but it seems like there is no way to defeat Morgoth without drawing on the gods and also breaking the land itself.
I think there's a way that this turns questions of strategy into questions of honor. The question "how do we best defeat Morgoth?" has a very simple answer ("you don't"), and I think by the end of the first age most of the elves know that. So there's that feeling I get that the real questions of the latter battles are more along the lines of doing the right thing than doing a sensical thing. Is it more honorable to try to hold out for as long as possible against an unstoppable force, or to go out in a blaze of glory? Is it more honorable to retreat and save what men you can, or to rush in and die alongside your men who are being slaughtered?

"You can't argue about Victoria Dallon, you're biased/a zealot!"
Yeah, well you can't argue about Victoria Dallon because you don't know jack shit. We are not the same.

wrath
wrath: "uncontrolled feelings of anger, rage, and even hatred. feelings of wrath can manifest in different ways, including impatience, hateful misanthropy, revenge, and self-destructive behavior." basically you have anger issues. you tend to seek vengeance and hold grudges for a loooooongggggg time. but that's only because you're looking out for yourself and the people you care about. you're not afraid of a fight and are very confrontational. you're strong-willed and thick-skinned. don't forget to show ur soft side every once in a while :)
gluttony
gluttony: "overindulgence and overconsumption of anything to the point of waste." basically you overeat. honestly same. once you start something you find it hard to stop. you tend to overly focus on whatever you're working on and lose yourself when you're "in the zone". but you're really good at what you do!! and have lots of undiscovered talents. don't worry, people will notice soon ;)
greed
greed: "an artificial, rapacious desire and pursuit of material possessions." you're greedy (obviously). you have a very competitive nature and always strive to be the best. you also really like money but hey, who doesn't. your dream is to be rich and successful, and you'll do anything to get it. you have few friends, but the ones you do have are basically family to you. don't forget to slow down and cherish the people around you ;)

Many people forget that majima kidnapped haruka — actually they dont forget that. They try to spin it as some fun game where oh majima is doing this under orders from his boss but it was like a fun game with haruka , they forget that he tied her up and tossed her in the dusty little storage room of the batting centre on the fucking floor then closed the door and waited for kiryu while ignoring her completely like the guy is not a good host but i still want to be inside him

Vicky corssover ask: The MCU, The DCAU, My Hero Academia
Oh MCU question would be easiest so I'm doing that one haha.
Okay, so it really depends on when Victoria shows up in setting + who she meets first.
Things change a lot depending on Vic meeting Shield vs meeting Spider-Man vs meeting Dr. Strange.
I think she'd be a bit distressed at how unorganized the heroes and government are? The Protectorate and PRT just seem so much more on the ball and unified compared what everyone gets up to in the MCU. Even the Wardens, who are literally managing several different apocalyptic threats, interdimensional wars, and extremist hate-groups while getting their asses kicked... well, they at least do a decent job of getting mostly every hero working together so no one immediately dies.
In comparison, Victoria would be pretty confused about the events of Civil War (hero teams do fight in the Parahumansverse, but they aren't really large-scale ramifications), the bizarre implementation of the Sokovia Accords, and the lack of secret identities for everyone except Spider-Man. The latter is pretty funny since she herself is a minority of maskless heroes in her own universe.
And of course, utter confusion at the existence of Gods and Magic that aren't Entity related in some way.
