Welcome back to the Tournament to End All Tournaments! Yesterday ended very closely, with Richard Petty edging out Ron Jeremy four votes to three. It was very indicative of the match-up I like to see, although with more votes obviously. Today could be even closer, if you can imagine that.
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.
On this Saturday we have one of the greatest comic book villains of all time, Magneto, taking on possibly the greatest horror special effects guru of all time, Tom Savini! Magneto speaks for himself, he's probably one of the most well known villains outside of comics, and his legendary status within comics reserves him for only the most epic of story archs. On the other side, if you aren't familiar with Tom Savini's work, you are most certainly missing out. There's a reason for his legendary status, which began with a little movie entitled Dawn of the Dead(1978). Perhaps you've heard of it? His work in special effects has spawned an entire generation of films and directors. He is no less than a film icon.
