Welcome back to the Tournament to End All Tournaments! Edgar Allan Poe prevails! I'd say this was expected. It takes more than a minor sitcom character to top one of the greatest poets of all time, but it was worth a shot. Onward!
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.
What's what? Another super hero versus a celebrity? You better believe it, buddy. In one corner, we have The Thing, of Fantastic Four fame--easily the coolest character of the group, and perhaps the only one. In the opposing corner, we have cinematic legend and funny man, Bill Murray. Or as Woody Harrelson would say, Bill f***in' Murray! Murray speaks for himself, or at least his memorable roles do. The Thing is another memorable comic book character full of depth, and far more than your average super hero. Is it clobberin' time for Bill Murray?
Thing
.VS.
