Welcome back to the Tournament to End All Tournaments! We officially have our first shut out of the tournament! Robocop soundly defeated Illidan Stormage with six votes to zero, nada, and zilch. Once again, I feel the random number generator set up someone to lose, but perhaps deservedly so. There might just be some serious Warcraft haters in the house. But honestly, the more popular and awesome character was probably the one that advanced.
Help me find out who the most awesome/badass character/person of all time is!
How would one accomplish such a task? Why by pitting every awesome and/or badass person/character/historical figure in a 512-person bracket style tournament that leaves only one person standing in the end. Who will it be? You will decide.
There is no voting criteria. You can vote for a participant based on whatever you please. If you feel that person would be the victor in a fist fight, or if you think they're more badass, more epic, have better hair, or if you just like one better than the other. It's completely up to you, the voter. I want people to have fun with this, and perhaps imagine the two participants squaring off face to face.
So now we have a slightly more even match-up. We have world famous wizard, Gandalf, of the Lord of the Rings universe, taking on the classic equestrian hero, The Lone Ranger. While the ranger hasn't done much lately, he certainly lives on in the minds of us all. However, overtaking the badassness that is an Ian McKellen character is no easy task no matter who the opponent is. Still, I'm thinking this at least won't be a shutout again, and perhaps you voters may even surprise me. To battle!
Gandalf the Grey/White
