Rank the 5 Best-Looking CBM Visual, Special Effects Characters!
For those returning from the DC and Marvel Editions of the Character-Actor Rankings, the Top 5 Costume Rankings, and the Top 5 Practical, Visual Effects Characters, welcome back!
Your job is to rank what you believe to be the 5 best-looking, visual, special effects characters.
The format is pretty simple. Provide the name of the character and the specific film in which the effects you’re ranking are prominent or the character name and associated actor in the case of a character who has been featured in multiple adaptations by different people.

The Scoring System
The system here is a bit different than previous ranking challenges. As I’m asking you to provide your own results without any guidance on my behalf, I simply cannot tally the votes. Also, under the same reasoning, a simple tally-and-average is not viable. I did originally say the tally-and-average method would be the scoring system in the Costume Rankings, but I discovered while tallying this method would not be effective for the task. For instance, Wonder Woman received 14 varying votes for scoring average of 3 while one user provided the sole vote for Captain America’s Civil War duds and as the top option, thus averaging out to 1. That system is clearly flawed, so I updated the system for the Costume Rankings, and will be using the same, new system here: tally-amount-average. For this system, I will tally all the votes for every character voted upon, pull the 5 characters with the most total votes, average their votes, and rank accordingly. If you can think of a better system, I’m all-ears. As for now, this is what we’ll use.
Now, let’s lay a few ground rules (some are for me, so don’t think I’m being a dick).
-
I will keep this up for two weeks. I may take it down sooner if there is a long enough lapse in recent rankings.
-
I will vote after everyone else. Once I do, polls are closed.
-
There will be no ties. If two characters average out to the same total, the tiebreaker will be determined by my original vote. If for some reason neither of the tied rankings were included in my Top 5, I will simply choose a winner.
-
You may vote for any character in any LIVE-ACTION MOVIE (except porn parody; throwing that out there just in case).
-
Only vote for characters who are always based in CGI, mo-cap, and effects of the like. Every CBM features a character who requires effects touch-ups in certain sequences, so we’re going to leave these rankings to characters who are based in the effects all the time.

Characters whose suits are constantly CGI in places do NOT count (Deadpool, Spider-Man, etc.). As of now, Cyborg in Justice League is my only exception. If you feel you have a case, comment and tag me. We’ll figure it out.
-
Your vote is based completely on your opinion.
-
You can provide reasoning as to why you voted the way you did, but you don’t have to.
-
I have no issues with disagreeing with/debating someone else’s rankings, but I’ll report anyone getting too unfriendly about this. I want it to be fun, and I hope you do, too.
HAPPY VOTING!
