the Captain Marvel deleted scene reminds us of how this should be done
the classic trope where the heroes run into each other and fight for 5 pages before realizing they’re on the same side against the bad guy
just have a scene where there’s a passing encounter of like Carol Danvers-type feminist vs like a Gambit-type womanizer and they both keep escalating until it becomes a real fight
and use the way they’re shocked that the other has powers as a metaphor for the way they’re shocked the other would stand up to them, and shoot it honest, like intercut from her perspective of how she’s fighting off this dudebro to his perspective of how he’s fighting off this crazy bitch
then use the way they learn to respect each other as fighters as a metaphor for how they recognize to respect each other as people
actually no do it with Guy Gardner and Fire and/or Ice, that’s your new comedy Justice League right there
