This is it- The Chamipinship! Let' give a round of applause to The Winter Soldier, for making his presence known, and etching his name among the villain elite. However, it was The Joker who finally put a stop to him. The clown reaching the finals was perhaps a foregone conclusion because he made it through with relative ease. Loki on the other hand, had a harder go of it, skirting by sometimes only just barely. I've got to hand it to you- I never expected Magneto to be eliminated, (and thought maybe he even could be the one guy to knock The Joker off) but here we are! What does it say that we are down to Loki and The Joker? On the surface they have charisma in common. But maybe it goes to show that powers and physicality isn't everything without a conniving mind.
So now, after several grueling weeks, we've reached the end. It is time to decide who has been The Best Comic Book Villain on screen. This tourney might come back around in a few years, after we've gotten new Jesse Eisenbergs and Jared Letos and Ultrons and Black Adams. But if there are any other tournaments you'd like to see (I've gotten great suggestions for Best Heroes, Best CBM Babes, Television, and more) be sure to let me know in the comments. It has been fun to see the community opinion, so I thank all who voted for my crude, silly little game. Didn't play out quite like you pictured? I'm putting out blank brackets here, so you can fill out your own personal winners. (I will be doing the same because Zod got screwed! lol) The Crown will be handed on April 27, and there will be prizes, games, babes, food, maybe more- who knows?! So be sure to come back next Monday for the announcements and celebration!
Tale of the Tape:
Loki (Thor, The Avengers) vs. The Joker (The Dark Knight)
Somehow, some way, Loki beat the Master of Magnetism, likely by exploiting Erik's weakness for fellow mutants. A more emotional Magneto wept when Loki went after the people he loved. It was the same situation for The Joker, once he learned The Winter Soldier's true identity, he went right for the traumatized emotional nerve of who he taunted in his fiendish voice as "Little Bucky."
