Over-Egging the Cake

"Anticlimactic," said Legolas, watching clouds of debris rise from Mordor.

"No problem," said Superman. "Sauron expected you to come across country, I just tunnelled there, took the Ring up into Mount Doom." The sky rippled, and a glowing portal appeared. He flew up, vanishing with a faint sonic boom.

"Let's head back to civilization" said Boromir.

"Aye," said Gimli.

Overhead Defiant decloaked and fired quantum torpedoes at the distant volcano. Samwise half-heartedly cheered.

"Works for me," said Frodo.

"We need a new quest," said Aragorn. "This one's buggered."

"Hmmm...." said Gandalf. "Did I ever mention a boy called Harry Potter...?"

It's not just over-egging the cake, it's doing so in an unbalanced way so as to remove all dramatic tension. Now, if the villains from each of these settings were showing up in concert with Sauron as well, that would be a simply over-egged mess.... although interesting to see someone try, perhaps.
