online. Now loading the Geekcast radio network

of podcasts. Welcome to GCR and Wars Tournament

90s Villain Edition. I am your host, Steve Megatron

Phillips, and joining me in this adventure into

the 90s is... Moogerville Dan, how's it going?

Pretty good. And so yeah, I originally got this

idea for this tournament after we did the 80s

villains a few years back. Seems like it's been

a while. Yeah, and that was yeah, I wasn't part

of that but remember listening and that was a

lot of fun So it's uh, I'm I'm I think you and

I both grew up more in the 90s than the 80s So

this is more this is much more of my wheelhouse

Yeah, and that's and that that's kind of why

I was like well if if we're gonna do a 90s one

I definitely want to build this one out and I

managed to double the contestants in this particular

tournament because there's just so many memorable

villains and I know I'm forgetting some, but

I tried to grab the most iconic and somewhat

diverse of some of the characters. Yeah, looking

at the list, I think it's going to be... It's

a good... Group of you know random characters

that I'm really interested in seeing just looking

at the matchups which will think I'll be fun

But just especially as it gets gets the later

rounds and you get some of these characters from

all these different walks of Entertainment from

the 90s. That should be a lot of fun, too. So

Yep, and then you got a good group here Thank

you. Yeah, and there's a lot of Disney in there.

There's a lot of other types of animation. There's

a lot of stuff based off video games. There's

a lot of stuff based off 80s properties that

have been revived, or comics, or just a great

deal of alternative villains than what we had

in the 80s, which were kind of selected. Yeah,

we did the the 80s one in 2013. Man, man. And

we did the the funny thing was we did the video

game icons in 2014. And I've had this this concept

and it's just not it. It was kind of a magical

timing of this actually coming to play at this

point in time with the top 100 coming up. Yeah,

it seems It's great because it gives you a nice

little preview and you know We may be talking

about these characters again, and I might actually

know the wonder this might It'll be a good thing

to fill in the resume for the top 100 as well

Like yeah, I should definitely be higher because

I won the worst ornament. So So yeah, so We'll

be covering the first half of the tournament

this week. And so I have a new voting setup Uh,

for this, uh, tournament, which I hope to continue

through future tournaments. And, uh, I think

the listeners will have a lot of fun with it.

Uh, it's, it's very visual, but it allows them

to have a head to head, uh, voting and everything's

all on one page. So it's not click bait. So it

should be a lot of fun. Uh, so I look forward

to seeing what happens in the comments based

on this episode. So without further ado The first

matchup is between Reese's two and professor

James Moriarty and For those that are not familiar

Reese's two is from Captain Simeon and the space

monkeys Which was a very short -lived show it

it only survived 26 episodes So Uh, one of the,

uh, it, it had a lot of iconic voice actors.

He had James Avery, Jeff Bennett, Michael Dorn,

uh, Maurice LaMarche and Malcolm McDowell. So,

uh, but I don't think it got as much love as

it probably should have. Um, but Reese's too

is an enforcer of the main villain. But the,

the funny part is, is he's, he's very, uh, He

gets the ability to change his brain out to come

up with more devious ideas Interesting So he

constantly can swap between brain one and brain

two to get better ideas to defeat Captain Simeon

Because Lord Nebula his boss is basically like

Galactus in a sense Wants to eat up the universe

and make it one with him so So yeah, I felt that

this was a very nice pairing between James Moriarty,

who is also a very thoughtful strategist trying

to defeat his nemesis, although this one takes

place in the 22nd century. I actually remember

that cartoon. The person I was not too well versed

but I feel like that came like near the the like

late 90s if I remember if I'm not mistaken and

I remember it having like it was one of those

shows that tried to experiment with like CGI

animation and regular animation and like the

early days and You know, they had Sherlock of

course go to the future, but it was supposed

to be like the Sir Sherlock of the past So yeah,

and they actually funny enough they took Sherlock

Holmes corpse and They had this technology where

they could revive someone and give them back

their like cellular rejuvenation technique and

so they brought Holmes back and It was to combat

James Moriarty who was also brought back So It

was it was a very fun show. It did come out in

99 And it also lasted about two seasons 26 episodes

and The the fun thing for me is that this one

has voice actors from Beast Wars Which seems

to be a trend amongst some of the villains today,

yeah, so But no, I felt that these two and the

funny thing is is Richard Newman is Moriarty

here who plays Rhinox and Tankor and Beast Wars

Beast Machines and He's also gonna be playing

a villain later on in this side of the bracket.

So Nice. Yeah, I mean I think like just based

upon reputation and notoriety that you'd have

to Lean towards more more art more. Wow worry

already and that's uh, just be you know The guys

go in toe to toe with Sherlock Holmes who was

basically, you know batman's very much uh Model

laughter in some ways. So I think you know, he's

not maybe the most physical presence in the world

pretty sure certainly Certainly is a finger as

you as you said so I I would just think he would

be a pretty formidable foe on that end and I

would think that I think I agree with you in

this sense, which hopefully in future episodes

we have more co -hosts to kind of have differing

opinions and some things, because there may be

some instances like this where we completely

agree. But it'll ultimately come down to you,

the listener. But I have to agree that Moriarty,

because not only for the fact that he basically

fought a 19th century... you know, early 20th

century version of Batman in a sense, but they

revived him to come back to the 22nd century

to cause havoc, which then caused the Scotland

Yard of the 22nd century to bring back Sherlock

Holmes. So I feel like that would win this bracket,

this particular section. I think that Moriarty

would take it. Because he only needs yeah, I

mean he does he only needs one brain like us

all but yeah so Moving on to bracket Battle number

two we have the Mandarin from Iron Man the animated

series against leader from the Incredible Hulk

animated series Interesting So to Villains known

for two different two different things for two

different ways of going about it for sure, you

know the leader of course being the Hulk's villain

known for his enormous forehead and brain and

Mandarin with his magical rings and His heat

of technology so They actually kind of I think

even if even though they're both villains, I

don't think they would get along very well No,

and it's it's kind of interesting because I would

almost wonder who would take it because they're

both kind of conniving and and Very much like

to be a top dog And they're both green I Think

I would lean towards Mandarin I think just because

I think the leader is a stupid character that

doesn't How much no just compared to Just in

the comics he was ever one of my favorites, but

the mandrake rings are not to be messed with

like he they all they all end up they're almost

like You know a good comparison would be the

infinity gems are not necessarily the same power

level, but they have Certainly a lot of strength

to them, and I think that is something you know

the leaders not one to like Take someone on one

-on -one. He's one more to you know, utilize

others or create other creation and things like

that. So Where I think demand runs does that

as well, but I think he's got a little bit He's

he's willing to get his hands dirty a little

bit more yeah, I I think I kind of agree with

you on that and there's not really much else

I could add to it, but I I think that And most

of what leader was known for in the animated

series was And nobody messes with leader, you

know, and just kind of kind of refers to himself

and he's sitting there just In his little safety

net throne room not really going outside, but

he's running his machinations from in there.

So I think that if The Mandarin would get past

leaders Defenses it would be game over Yeah This

next one this next battle will be pretty fun

You have Dark Phoenix from x -men the animated

series with Skeletor from the new adventures

of human and this is Skeletor's revival from

the 80s so I'd be curious because you I think

know more about human than ideas. So who would

you lean towards in this matchup? It would be

Dark Phoenix. She's got mutant power. She's got

the Phoenix power. She's a force to be reckoned

with, with the Axemen alone. Whereas Skeletor

was trying to escape He -Man, and so he goes

to this other world, in essence, to escape, in

a sense. and runs into these evil mutants of

Denebria, which Phlog is the military commander

there. And somehow, I saw this movie a long time

ago, but he accidentally gets brought to Primus,

Skeletor does, and forms an alliance with them.

And then the thing is, Phlog is to help Skeletor

destroy He -Man. And he man of course has to

leave Eternia to go to Primus to fight the evil

mutants and Skeletor and Skeletor gets a makeover

In in this new basically battle armor Just so

It was it was interesting when I saw the the

animated movie thing of it, which was basically

the first three episodes, but When I was a kid

and I had the VHS and watched it a lot, but I

think that Phoenix would take it this In this

fight, I would say the one the one chance he

would have is Phoenix is mentally unstable Dark

Phoenix for sure so if he was able to somehow

can I be conniving and because you know Jean

Grey who or Phoenix who becomes Dark Phoenix

was became that because of what mastermind did

and was able to kind of trick her and I don't

think he necessarily has the telepathy or thing

anything of that nature, but He I think he may

be able to Use herself against her like she's

she can be very self -destructive but That would

probably be the only possible Avenue because

yeah, if there's so far I would say the Phoenix

would probably be my pick to win it because you

know Dark Phoenix is one of the most powerful

entities in all Marvel comics So it's it's it's

tough to mess with it's it's not infallible.

I mean, it's you know, they're able they were

The X -Men were able to obviously defeat Dark

Phoenix and things like that. So but one -on

-one it's she's a tough matchup Yeah, she's she's

gonna be a tough matchup. I think in this side

of the bracket At least for sheer power At least

so far yeah, yeah But yet Skeletor I could the

only way I could see him winning is if he like

you said kind of Schemed around her And had a

backup plan to take her out. Yeah, so and then

of course he has the power of magic so He could

he could do he could do some damage true with

his his band of mutants So The other nice thing

about human the image there the new adventures

is most of the voice cast are Vsauce cast again.

They were pretty popular in the 90s. They're

in a lot of the shows that we're going to be

covering villains from. The next battle is the

High Evolutionary from Spider -Man Unlimited

and Dr. Luther Paradigm from Street Sharks. I'm

a street. I love street sharks as a kid. I don't

know what there's something about people with

sharks. Just really you know it It struck a chord

with me. It was like Ninja Turtles, but with

sharks You know what that's exactly that's exactly

it instead of being like ninjas. They were just

like brutes They were they were just surfer dudes

that they were sharks. Yeah And in paradigm kind

of looks like Like if you mix Serpentor and dr.

Mindbender you get him yeah, yeah, it almost

looks like a little bit like a Character from

image and spawn called ever kill who was kind

of bald with big shoulders and stuff like that

Very very common look in the 90s But um, yeah

the high high evolutionary See this series only

got one season For spider -man unlimited Because

it was so bad That was Marvel's antidote for

Batman Beyond So But yeah, the high evolutionary

was disgusted with behavior of human on earth

and believed that a greater genetic diversity

heightened survival traits So he left earth to

counter earth and created human -animal hybrids

So, yeah It's there's like He's actually in another

high evolutionary character To like that's more

of an Avengers villains. I don't know if that

was a different take on that same character It

might have been yeah Yeah, so you have to two

mad scientists basically who like to who live

animal splicing so they you know, they Actually

be in the same like villain club, there's a good

chance that they hang out. Yeah And it turns

out that the High Evolutionary was in Thor. Yeah.

In the Thor comics. They just repurposed him

for this. But yeah, in Paradigm, the only thing

I could see going wrong is the High Evolutionary

is calm and collected. And Paradigm's kind of...

manic? because his he mixed his DNA with that

of a piranha and So They named him dr. Paranoid

later on but yeah, his his mutation doesn't cause

a dramatic increase in mass, but He he changes

under stress like the Hulk Interesting so The

high evolutionary is a tough because like he

he's kind of a loose on the word but almost elitist

in a way like he I wondered if he would just

like You know, he would see this dude who's a

piranha and like crazy and just be like, you

know what? I'm gonna I'm gonna go about my merry

way. He rather than rather than you know, facing

him one -on -one. So I don't know. This one's,

I'm not really, I feel like this could end in

a draw in a way, but I'd probably go high evolutionary

just because I think he probably, like you mentioned,

has less of a, he won't let his temper get in

his way and he's a little bit more self -sufficient

in that way rather than being self -destructive

as, you know, those 90 villains tend to be. Yeah,

and that's and that's kind of how most the 90s

villains were they were either calm and collected

or psychotic and In this instance you get one

of each. So yeah, I think high evolutionary but

It would probably depend on how much paradigm

flipped out Yeah, so You go. Oh, yeah, you go

full Hulk Rage and that could carry over. Yeah,

it could So the next battle is nega duck from

dark green duck and Don carnage from tailspin

Brings me back to the greatness of Disney afternoon.

That's And this this is this is an interesting

matchup because Like now you basically have their

dark green duck was like the Disney Disney version

is kind of of Batman in a way and he he's an

interesting character because he's But then you

have a space putter a sky pirate. So it's like

Who who wins in this? Yeah, that's kind of a

hard a hard decision there because They're both

notorious And they're both scheming so I Don't

know it with negaduck you would have gadgets

and Some of that but pirate would have henchmen

and not be flying solo Yeah, I always feel like

when in doubt go pirate because He's got he's

got to think a little bit more physical physical

skills Megaduck's a little bit, you know, you

have basically a duck versus a fox, and usually

in that battle foxes went out, so I think physical

strength would probably be on his side as well,

so I don't know. But you said gadgets can always,

even the technology end, over a guy who, I mean

I guess he has his ship and whatnot, but I don't

know. Think in this instance, I'm going negaduck,

but that's just because it's Like the it's it's

it's almost like reverse flash to flash or Does

he also go back in time all the time? Yeah, I

don't think that's allowed. It's Disney. They

just roll with the punches Yeah, yeah, like I

said, I'm gonna go pirate just because it's You

you you can ever trust a pirate and they always

they always find a way as Jack Sparrow often

does, so I'll go inspired by that. I'm going

to go with him. That's a good point to make.

Go with Jack Sparrow and all else fails. The

next battle is Dark Cat from Swat Cats and Lord

Dragonus from Mighty Ducks. Two crazy looking

creatures. And Dark Cat is the main villain of

Swat's Cats. And, uh, yeah, he's a very smart

and dangerous crime lord, uh, but looks like

a demon and he's a, uh, tactician scientist.

And then you get Lord Draygonis who is the leader

of the Saurians and the main, uh, very, uh, powerful,

uh, alien. So. Yeah. You get brute force and

intelligence The money ducks cartoon was was

interesting and he but it was a concept. I'm

surprised they got off the ground It's like yeah,

they're alien ducks from another planet that

come and play hockey and Somehow that we made

a tv show. Um, yeah, this one is is a challenge

But Huh, I don't know. What are your thoughts?

I like them both but i'm I'm more partial to

dark cat because he had the ability to sway all

of the other villains and, uh, he was very independent,

but he had the ability to sway the other villains

in, uh, uh, mega cat city and SWAT cats, uh,

such as dr. Viper, which was voiced by Frank

Walker. And then the metallic cats were basically

like a, uh, SWAT cats version of if you took

Android 18 and 17 and Gave them the appearance

and ability of Ultron Yeah, so it's kind of like

he worked with them a lot so and he also knew

who the SWAT cats were Whereas like dragoness

is kind of a brute from another world. That's

that's coming to to earth for you know to fight

the ducks and Get his Dark magic working again,

so I Don't know. It's kind of kind of a toss

-up, and then you get Tim Curry voicing Lord

Dragonis See that's I mean that's you know having

courage voice behind you get your characters.

I think gives you extra points for sure So that

fact alone makes me want to go with Dragones.

But I think I'm going to go with... When you

can take out this wildcats like that and they

have one of the best plane vehicles in any cartoon

ever, I think I'm going to go with you. Plus

he looks just majorly badass. So they both kind

of do, but I feel like he... I enjoy his design

a little bit more. So technically that gives

nothing in a battle, but just because I'm gonna

When I'm gonna go go for him, but I Don't know

it could go either way Yeah, dark cat. The other

nice thing is is he kind of reminds me of the

cross between dr. Claw and dr. Doom And like

some of his like bulky kind of crime lord thing

and then he's got the Kind of scary Scientist

tactician thing of dr. Yeah, so his designer

look reminds me a lot of a character called taskmaster

in a way kind of his face is almost skull -like

So But uh, yeah, I think I'm gonna go with with

dark cat despite the fact that that Tim Curry

is voicing dr. Jonas So Going to the next battle.

We're starting with a Tim Curry villain We're

getting skull master versus Hades and skull masters

from mighty max and Hades from Hercules and Skull

master is the main antagonist of the mighty max

series Uncompromising loathsome treacherous relentless

just Downright cruel and sinister villain and

the way that Tim Curry portrays this character

is just disturbing Where you have James woods

doing Hades which is much more, you know comedic,

of course So I think if you're going off sheer

power, I might get You know Hades being a Greek

God probably would have Possibly more but he's

also he's also kind of an idiot in a way like

I guess I mean he You know, he is Hades. He's

certainly he's not without his Without it without

his strengths that in his beat ability to be

conniving but I think to sometimes his arrogance

and Just like Don't think he's nearly as serious.

So I think that could kind of he might not take

it serious enough and that ends up kind of being

his downfall so that would be like I think the

one thing even though he probably is Much more

powered it would be possibly see Hades I could

see in a sense winning only for the fact that

he can't die But that is also that's a good point

But he could have what happened to him in the

movie happened to him to where he's out of commission

for a while. Yeah. Because of his arrogance and

skull master has he's an ancient warrior sorcerer

whose power has driven him to destroy like the

Atlanteans and he wants possession of these Crystal

of souls these soul crystals and so he's in prison

deep within the earth, but he can occasionally

Get out in a sense and funny enough Frank Walker's

the other counter villain in this series lava

lord Who was who's down there but Don't know

I think I'm gonna go with with Tim Curry and

in skull master just because he's very cold and

calculating and he's constantly got I mean it

took mighty max and His his crew to go through

portals constantly just to get away from skull

master Mm -hmm and clean up the mess that that

was put out there by him Yeah, that's good point

in Think I think ultimately though, I think I'm

gonna go with Hades just because I don't know

You don't know you want to mess with the Greek

God, you know, he's able to kind of Take on Zeus

and all he obviously he can Utilize he'll utilize

the Titans in the in the in the film as well

I don't know if that's an option on the board,

but you know, I think when Hades is a character

that uh certainly Is not to be under underestimated.

So I think just he seems to be always one step

ahead Even if he might be a little bit uh sardonic,

so Yeah, and he's got the fates too and he's

got you know, the the titan. So I mean, I I guess

he does have his own kind of crystal ball and

in in Army as well. So yeah, um, I think that

those two would go pretty much toe to toe. Yeah

so Don't know be interesting to see who wins

though in the the tournament. Yeah, cuz it's

often often what we see is but You know popularity

what character you like the most but try to think

of it more so if you were if you know Outside

of that so I'd be interested to see well I would

be interested in and hope that everybody votes

in the sense that you know if you were watching

a You know like a sports tournament or something

yeah want you know who would you think would

win you know? Like ultimate if they were all

like it ultimate fighting octagon or something

like that. Yeah so so next up is Scarab from

mummies alive against Jafar in Aladdin and they

both have a snake scepter they both have a very

similar garb and The whole Outfit and Yeah, they're

they're just very similar in many many ways Scarab

was the royal advisor and regent to amend hotep

and And and prince rapses in the show and so

he's of course trying to Steal the prince's life

force again because the prince is reincarnated

Which is why he's got my mummy battle bodyguards

and then Of course, Jafar wants unlimited power.

And everybody knows everything about Jafar. In

an itty -bitty living space. I'm assuming we're

going with Jafar before he becomes a genie. Just

normal Jafar. Yeah, just normal Jafar. Yeah,

I mean, I'm tempted to go with Jafar just because

Aladdin's probably my all -time favorite Disney

movie. Yep, me too. And he's one of those...

Disney villains, I think that gets Closest to

succeeding more so than anyone else it helped

it helps that like the Sultan it's kind of a

food buffoon and and whatnot, but you know, he

He has some of his tricks I think he obviously

is a separate you can do mind control and things

like that but I don't think necessarily he has

like the power of the scarab that you mentioned

like I Feel like he is he has kind of parlor

tricks and that's why he's trying to get this

Get the lamp where, you know, if he was going

against like a more powerful sorcerer, I don't

think he would be able to hold his own. It would

be my guess. Yeah. I think in this, this instance,

even though I want to vote Jafar, I think that

Scarab would, would take it just because he's

got all of the, the power of the undead and,

uh, the ability to transform. Like, the mummies

to battle. And he's got a lot of magic, so I

don't know. I would love to vote Jafar. But I

don't think he could physically take this guy

on. Yeah. I mean, you could seek Iago after him,

but, you know, maybe you'll just annoy him to

death. That's always an option, but... But yeah,

I think he my guess is Jafar is gonna win because

he's far more popular which I'd be fine with

plus It'd be interesting in because if Jafar

wins and Hades wins, we'd get a Disney villain

showdown. So there's always that option It'd

be interesting though. Yeah, cuz cuz then you

could get you know, Don carnage and then you

could get Lord Dragones and Dark Phoenix and

you know, yeah Cuz cuz Marvel is you know But

Disney would own half the characters on this

on this board anyway, so Yeah, yeah, I mean it

helps that they had like the best cartoons in

the 90s. So and So second to the last battle

for this episode is Between Laurence Limburger

from biker mice from Mars and bloth from the

Pirates of Dark Water both shows I've seen enough

of to know a little bit about but not I wasn't

a Full -on watcher of them like I was most of

the other series we've covered Yeah, I did watch

both I don't know like I can never I had a lot

of actually had a few biker mice from Mars Toys

and I you know, it was fine. I wasn't the biggest

fan of it per se I think I would watch it sometimes

when I before like when I wake up for school

but again, I feel like You basically have your

corporate stooge versus a pirate. And again,

I'm going to go with pirate because pirates find

a way. They're like dinosaurs in Jurassic Park.

Yeah. And Laurence Lindberger is an alien who's

solely concentrating on conquering other planets,

strip mining them for the natural resources,

and moving on to the next planet. And he tried

to conquer planet Mars, and that's when the biker

mice got him. So he came to Earth. So he's still

a loser. And then you get Bloth, who has an intense

love of treasure and gold and watching opponents

squirm. And yeah, he's a pirate sea lord who's

ageless. And so, yeah. I think I'm gonna go Bloth

in this round just because Crazy pirate with

the the power of the sea and the dark water Yeah,

yeah, that's kind of a no contest to me in this

one, but never know And then the final battle

of the night is between apocalypse from x -men

Lord Zed from Power Rangers I had to throw in

the one live -action because I did say 90s villains

I didn't say animated so it gave me that out

And he was pretty much the most iconic villain

we got in the 90s With her from live -action,

I would say it's certainly yeah, I think I mean

you guess you can argue Rita, but I think he's

much more powerful character badass Yeah, he's

much more awesome -looking sounding and just

the chrome and the the brain exposed and Just

just the overall look of him it's just intense

so So you get you get Lord Zed the Kind of dark

energy powered magic thrower sorcerer in a sense

against a mutant with just crazy amounts of power

yeah apocalypse is interesting because even like

his power set is so It's kind of ill -defined

in the show and in the comics. He can manipulate

his size. He has morphing capabilities. He has

celestial armor, which certainly kind of makes

it difficult to really have any effect. He can

be immortal in a way. He has the ability basically

to regenerate himself. So he's really difficult

to kill. You kind of have to find the right...

time and place they really even have a shot because

of just how powerful a character is being the

first mutant and everything like that. So it's

it's it's interesting. It would be cool to see,

you know, a gigantic Zed fighting a gigantic

apocalypse like that would be a fun battle to

witness. So, you know, that has magic, though.

So that's one, you know, that's one thing I think

that apocalypse has not really gone up against

per se. He's In the comics at least he's fought

like Thor and he's had trouble and stuff like

that. So that might be a weakness that could

be exploited, but I just think that apocalypse

power set is just so enormous and Like I said,

it's so he's so difficult to kill and he has

future technology ability actually even has a

time machine at time so I think you just know

that that has trouble with the Power Rangers

where You know, I sort of think he wouldn't really

be able to stop apocalypse. Yeah, I don't think

that he would be able to stop apocalypse despite

the fact that. You know, he looks cool and he's

a sorcerer, but yeah, apocalypse is pretty much

this undying. Mutant original mutant that's survived

millennia and. Just. Constantly rebirths and

so it's Yeah, I mean he's got superhuman strength

stamina and vulnerability flight teleportation

biomolecular alteration size alteration Transmutation

energy generation telekinesis immortality. So

yeah It's it's Very it would be very difficult

for Zed to win and Serpenterra would not help

Yeah, yeah, I like what I really like both these

characters as villains and so that's Apocalypse

is probably it was one of my all -time favorite

character I have a gigantic apocalypse torian

on my desk right now, but so maybe I'm biased

I'll say that but I just you know, like I said

apocalypse is is The big bad one of the biggest

bads of you know x -band and marvel per se um,

so and maybe you know zed has some powers that

we're just not really seeing Um, but like i'm

thinking of like the movie when it kind of gets

kind of brought down the sides by ooze So would

I would think that? Apocalypse would do something

similar. Yeah, I kind of think that would happen

in that instance as well Um, but yeah, he's Zed

is considered one of the greatest villains of

Power Rangers history, so Because he's the Emperor

of Evil Which doesn't mean anything if you're

going against a mutant that's lived with immortality

Yeah, so true. Yeah sure So yeah, but I would

be I would be interested to see what people think

though because you know, I like I know a lot

of people who love the Power Rangers, who loves

Zed as a character. Apocalypse, I think there's

people who really like him as a character, but

his movie wasn't very good, so one of that will

sway people to go more towards Zed. So I could

see a really potential upset, at least based

upon our thoughts with this round. Yeah, I would

definitely be interested in hearing what everyone

has to say about all of this as we come into

the voting round. Of course, we'll in the next

episode reveal who won this side of the bracket

and kind of go down the round two of, well, part

two of round one with the second side of the

bracket of characters, which you'll get some

more kind of video game, comic -y and other characters

of that nature. battling each other so Some of

them I was surprised were actually 90s. So I

thought the borderline Yeah, I think I'm really

looking forward to that because there's a lot

of cool characters that are really yet to come

from some really noticeable TV shows and I What

things like we talked about Phoenix? I think

there's a people a couple people on the other

side of the bracket that might have a shot of

taking her down if she makes it all the way through

so it's a good it's a good balanced board as

you want to see oh and let's just say we'll talk

about it next week but matchup number 15 that

might be the best matchup of all that we get

at least in the first round so i i know it's

it's funny because blanchard was like uh you

should have used this other character to go against

him because he voiced them both and i was like

that's not a good enough reason I'm like you

you have to put the craziest, you know the ones

Kind of amongst each other so Yeah, or the ones

with the most similarities I should say I think

you made the right choice. Yeah, so Should be

fun should be fun. I tried to pair them as well

as I could to their Physical attributes so that

it wouldn't be a popularity contest at least

in the first round Well, it might be but it always

is but that's unavoidable But I think that's

where the comments come in where people can kind

of rally support for their different sides based

upon the good arguments I think we've seen that

in the past and so it's a good opportunity to

do that So yeah, so until next time check out
