Welcome back to the Tournament to End All Tournaments! Forgive my hiatus, my computer completely betrayed me and forced me to completely reinstall my OS. I'm back now, with the news that Dr. Evil triumphed over Martin Riggs with a 3 to 1 vote. C'mon, people! I expect more than that for our next matchup.
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.
Today we have one of the most famous literary characters and detectives of all time, Sherlock Holmes, taking on the mythical beast of Greek lore, the Minotaur! Holmes is, of course, influence for all great detectives today, including Batman, while the Minotaur is a champion of all half-bull/half-man characters through the world of literature, movies, and games; and of course, Mantaur. Try imagining Holmes thrown into the Minotaur's labyrinth.
