90s Villains Tournament Round 2

This is The Brain, and you're listening to the

GeekCast Radio Network. Yes! Hello, and welcome

to GCRN Wars 90s Villains Tournament. I'm your

host, Steve Megatron Phillips, and joining me

in this episode is movie refolt Dan. Hey, how's

it going? Pretty good. And so, yeah, the, uh...

Contestants got whittled down in this this last

tournament this one had a little bit more voters

on it, which was nice Yeah, I mean a lot of heavy

hitters this round were the last round Or the

second round of second portion of round one.

So especially I think a little bit more Debate

regarding some of the bigger mantras, although

looking at the vote it seems like It was a lot

of runaways. I was surprised someone who's one

a little closer there were a few that were closer

than i thought they were going to be and then

a few that um were clear blowouts yeah um so

yeah running down the uh round two or not round

two uh round one part two uh we have koopa against

king k rule and koopa took it away at 85 percent

not really surprised no no i mean i don't think

that goes in a much more popular of a character

from a more popular franchise, so that makes

sense. And then the second battle was between

Ink and Shadowmaster, which was a little bit

closer at 61%, but Ink took it away. I did not

expect Shadowmaster to get that much love on

us. I didn't either, but it was kind of surprising.

You should have to play, but that's... Yeah,

it was kind of surprising this round how many...

people actually recognize the characters this

time I Think it helps with that a lot of them

like were are kind of characters in their own

right or at least tied to some major franchises

whether it be a video game or You know 80s cartoons

as well. Yeah, I think that definitely helped

And then the third battle we have is between

dr. Wiley and dr. Doom and Dr. Doom pretty much

ran away with it at 94 % blowing out Wiley. I

think there are a few Mega Man fans that threw

their votes, but other than that Doom kind of

kicked butt there. I kind of figured he was going

to take it away though. Yeah. So. And yeah, Wiley

got literally one vote. Which is the only reason

he got there so the the next matchup was between

GI Joe extremes iron claw and the deep GI Joe

of Cobra commander and Cobra commander took it

away Yeah, I think again, I think more people

are far more aware of Cobra commander even from

even if they want to watch the deep series just

the character in general, so Well, and he's more

awesome than Iron Claw. True, true. And you have

Chris Lotto. So, yeah, he took it away at 89

percent. This one for a minute there was neck

and neck. This next one. And it was between Green

Goblin and the Joker. The Joker took it away

at 71 percent. Interesting. I was wondering how

that would go. I'm not too surprised. I thought.

Personally, I think I would still go Green Goblin,

but I, you know, Joker's not one of them. I mean,

when you go in toe to toe with Batman as much

as you do, I get why people were like, well,

that guy can walk away from Batman. So he can

probably watch what pretty much take anyone else.

So I get that. But yeah, I'm sure Joker's going

to be a wild card in this franchise in this.

So I think he I think he is not done anytime

soon. No, it'll be surprising to see what happens

next considering the next battle, which was between

Captain Pollution and Bad Rap, which was really

close, honestly. The Pollution got 59%. Three

more votes than Bad Rap, so I was a little surprised

at it. Yeah. You know what? It's because Bad

Rap is a killer grill. I think that helps us

chances. And then we have for the next battle

Lex Luthor against David Xanatos, which I kind

of figured Luther was gonna take it away. He

took it at 83 % Yikes. Yeah, that's no surprise

there And then going into This one was either

way. It was gonna be the same The next one it

was gonna be Megatron or Megatron and it's it's

just which evolution version the one that's you

know 10 and beast machines or Beast Wars and

They're the same character, but the Beast Wars

edition was definitely a More remarkable character

over as a whole Yeah, I think it probably came

down to what show do you like more and I think

more people probably prefer Beast Wars over Beast

Machines, so I think that certainly helped his

cause. Yeah, I definitely think that's what helped

it, aside from the fact that Beast Machines did

have better animation aesthetics in some regard.

But it had Megatron physically taking out Cybertron,

but he actually did something in Beast Wars,

so I can see why people voted for him in that

version. The next battle was between Megabyte

and Cell. And cell took it away at 78 % Yeah

cells gonna be I mean any Dragon Ball Z character

like just their their power set is so Expansive,

you know in their multiple forms. So it's He

was one of the last Dragon Ball Z kid like villains,

right? That like didn't before the franchise

and like kind of went a different route Yeah,

they they had Frieza who was the main heavy hitter

which had I thought about that I would have included

freeze as well, but Then they had they had cell

and then they had Majin Buu. Oh Yeah, I can remember

I always forget which order they I knew Frieza

came and then it was Majin Buu and cell and the

androids I I Where cell places in that lineage

like if he's before after all that so yeah, but

uh cell I would I would argue is just cooler

looking and harder to destroy Than the other

ones And then getting to the final battle where

you have two guys with red eyes black black eyeballs

with the red iris and the the red hair It's like

and one has like a mustache. The other one has

crazy eyebrows. It's they would make it like

a good like 1980s WWE tag team like they would

like Dr. Praetorius and Dr. Robotnik Robotnik

surprisingly took it away with with two extra

votes and I think it's a lot Because of the video

games Oh for certain because even put even the

video games I feel like he was kind of a Like

I put like a pretty pathetic villain like he

was a tool. Yeah, so I don't think he has much

of a chance going against any no matter anyone

else in this in this tournament, so Yeah, I think

his Cinderella story will end shortly. Yeah,

I definitely see that coming so without further

ado We can get into the the actual breakdown

now for the round two battle of the bracket Which

I'm pretty excited about Definitely, so Yeah,

it's it's gonna be interesting to see who takes

away this round so we have for the for the first

battle of round two Professor Moriarty against

the Mandarin Wow, that's probably the first time

in the history that they These two characters

have ever kind of come face to face with one

another your brains and brawn in a sense Yeah,

you know, I think Mori is certainly probably

a higher intelligence level, but Mandarin, you

know, he... He himself is well knowledgeable,

highly knowledgeable, specifically with mystical

arts and things of that nature. And he has his

power ring. So I just, you know, I think the

fact that James Moriarty has none of that. Well,

I know this is like an advanced version of him,

but still I would have to lean heavily towards

the Mandarin. Yeah, I'm thinking that it's going

to be Mandarin as well. I just I can't see how

Moriarty is gonna take it away in this one when

you have the the power rings Which is almost

like infinity gauntlet level power And you have

this this Cree alien type person that you know

goes toe -to -toe with iron man who's very brilliant

as well, so Yeah, I don't think the the 19th

century brawn and alien or brains of a 19th century

person and In a lane are going to compete much

now. I mean, I think James already is a much

better character But if you're talking about

you know a knuckle drag -out brawl, I'm gonna

gonna go with the mandarin Going to round two

of or the second battle of round two we have

dark Phoenix against the high evolutionary Yeah,

yeah I think we talked about in the first round

Dark Phoenix is a heavy favorite to go very far

and I don't see you know high evolutionary he

has all his crazy creatures and things like that,

but You know, he doesn't have the mind tricks

that you could possibly pull on the Phoenix Nowhere

near a power level. So I think that's this is

a pretty easy easy decision to make Yeah, I kind

of agree with you on this as well. I'm pretty

sure Dark Phoenix is going to mop the floor with

him because he's basically a mutant. And she's

mopped the floor with quite a few mutants in

X -Men. So I don't think that he's going to be

much of a contender in this. No, I highly agree.

Going to the next battle, we have Negaduck against

Dark cat So this one I'm interested to hear what

because I feel like you are much more first and

swat cats than I am so Who are you leaning towards

in this matchup? I'm leaning towards negative

not negative Dark cat because not only does he

have his his criminal underworld that he controls

and in kind of the mobster scenario But he also

will do his own dirty work. He's he's very intelligent

He's not above using some very high caliber I

would compare him almost to like a vandal savage

of DC to to SWAT cats and that he creates in

this essence his own league of Guys to go against

negaduck who's also a part of his own version

of a league so I don't see negaduck holding up

that well to It dirt cat Dark Hitch is more menacing

and he has these two henchmen that are basically

Ultron type robots that he could have go after

him and yeah negaduck is is like reverse Darkwing

and They're both a little bit bumbling at times

Makes sense I I think You make a lot of good

points and I think you know negative because

He's a funny character. But yeah, like if he's

going against Like basically a gigantic mob boss

in a way with with that looks like like a tiger

on steroids I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go with

your assessment as well. So Going to the second

to the last battle on this side of the bracket

we have skull master against Jafar Which will

prove to be interesting when it gets voted out

Yeah, that's that's tough. I mean school master

is hugely powerful I would you know Jafar's biggest

benefit is going against people that he can kind

of outsmart and don't necessarily have you know

The same type of power level he does. I mean

Even if he gets his genie form when I hit from

like the you know, the second film maybe he has

a chance but I just a general sorcerer I I don't

think he's in the same league as someone like

skull master. Yeah, I kind of agree with that

assessment I don't think that Jafar while I like

the character I don't think he can hold a candle

to skull master, especially when Kind of in prep

for some of this I was I was going back and rewatching

Mighty Max because of this tournament and Skull

Master manages to like almost completely outsmart

everyone and he can open up portals wherever

and he uses the Soul Stone as a power source

and he can have the ability to if he possesses

that and Mighty Max's cap he can alter history

but he also has the power to summon In a sense

like almost like how Power Rangers villains can

summon villains except his are like really Almost

like Greek God level type of creatures so it's

I Think skull master is gonna mop the floor with

them But I'm sure it'll be kind of neck -and

-neck as far as like a popularity contest and

yeah and functionality, but I think skull master

should take this I mean before I just have a

talking parrot. So That's something to keep in

contact with but yeah, I think I think That's

a good point I myself need to go back and watch

my next I watched that a good deal as a kid,

but I've not watched it in Decades. Yeah, I watched

the the finale on on YouTube Nice last week,

and I was like I was like how did this show end

again? I was I was so confused in it It's kind

of a I won't spoil it, but it's it's kind of

an interesting way that they ended it in a sense

So the final bracket on this side of the of the

or the final battle of this side of the bracket

is Bloth and apocalypse and Yeah, the power of

dark magic and dark water and and a pirate isn't

really gonna hold candle to an immortal mutant,

but Yeah, some people's opinions of how it could

I? Me too. Yeah, I mean when you have I think

Apocalypse who kind of doesn't have to breathe

or like he's I don't know like he's been in space

before it's hard. It's scary His power set is

so on undetermined. It's Frustrating but yeah,

like grow himself into a giant. He has morphine

capabilities. Yeah has some ability to Use telekinesis

in some ways and he's got celestial armor. So

Yeah, I mean, I think he's again a big favorite

to go much further Yeah, and it's it's gonna

be interesting to see how much further on this

side of the bracket who were Two characters that

you believe are going to make it to the the semi

-finals Well, I think Mmm, that's a good question

or or the three that you think will make it because

there's there's a spot for three and there's

a reason why there's three in the semi -final

stage I Think you know, like we mentioned Dark

Phoenix and apocalypse. Certainly you're gonna

be two ones that are challenging to The third

one's where I struggle. Part of me's thinking

Jafar could be a dark horse because Aladdin's

such a popular film, so I think he can get a

lot of love there. But also the Mandarin, I mean,

like he, you know, magic kind of gives you a

lot of opportunities to do things and things

like that, so. Yeah, I think he might be someone

to look out for, too. I'm personally thinking

that it's going to be Apocalypse, Dark Phoenix.

Just based on their placement in the bracket,

it's going to be kind of hard to not have it

turn out that way. thrown it it could either

be mandarin or it could be skull master but yeah

i think i'm on the same general thought process

that it's going to be some of the same characters

though makes sense so uh yeah we're going to

go over to the other side of the bracket which

uh i've been itching to see how uh this was going

to turn out and i will preface this with saying

had i Planned out the graphical locations better

I Would have had a different arrangement and

when I say that I mean the last two battles on

the On this side of the bracket of the the 17

18 19 20 For the round two, I should have flip

-flopped Two of those those battles so they would

have ended up on the other bracket because now

we have human against robot human against robot

But that's neither here nor there Yeah, too late.

I could go back and change it and just say editors

choice, but that would kind of be a crapshoot

just to rig it So yeah, the NHL doesn't do re

receding after every round, you know, yeah Yeah,

that would be a mighty convenient receding Yeah.

So yeah, we have King Koopa against Ink. And

I, yeah, I'm going with Ink. There's really no

contest here. She's an actual femme fatale villain

and the power of clay face. And you have a walking

lizard turtle dinosaur. See like I I most I think

King Koopa has some powers that might Benefit

him. I think the I can't remember but I felt

like fire had an impact against ink and I feel

like it would it was water in in and Ice, but

I'm not entirely sure on fire. I don't know if

they actually used that I feel like it I feel

like it might um Like also like I Having that

shell and being like like such a thick and powerful

creature. I don't know how much damage ink could

do like if she would be able to really Hurt King

Koopa. So I actually I'll go the other one I

think King Koopa has a with his fire breath has

I know he's kind of a goofy character, but you

know Push comes to shove. I think he might be

able to actually pull the upset. So I think you've

actually swayed me in that direction because

I wasn't thinking about that aspect of it before

that he's almost like impenetrable and and the

fact that He can breathe fire. He could technically

light her on fire incinerating her I don't know

like that's one thing is I can't remember if

that and those ever demonstrated that was a weakness

so that could do nothing, but I would I would

think you know It would have considering the

impact water and ice does it? It would mess with

her molecules in a way. The other thing is she's

basically immortal though. So it's like how did

how does King Koopa? Take her out and you know,

that's a good question because I don't think

there there is a way really I think she can just

keep Well, eventually in the series walking back

into her original form Well, she did get damaged

by the the ice ray And it messed up her molecules

and she had to absorb more of that chemical that

allows her to do this to keep her form. So maybe

fire would have some more impact. Yeah. Alright,

makes sense. So the next one is Dr. Doom against

Cobra Commander. I'm kind of excited about this

one. Yeah, I know you're a huge GI Joe fan, I

think probably more GI Joe. Cobra Commander fan

compared to Marvel. So does that make you want

to sway towards Cobra Commander in this? I want

to vote Cobra Commander. It's a very biased vote.

Yeah. But yeah, I don't know. I'm kind of I'm

kind of torn on that because like dr. Doom is

is brilliant he's taken on a lot of the Marvel

universe on his own and Cobra commander has like

repeated setbacks that Don't always work out

for him, and then he's got the treachery of his

own yeah amongst him, so I I don't know it's

I want to vote Cobra Commander just because I

like the character better, his armor looks better,

he doesn't look like a dude wearing a shop class

looking face mask and a hood. Because Dr. Doom

almost looks like something left over from the

druids or something and Cobra Commander, had

I used his face mask he would have looked like

something else from... the 1800s but I chose

the battle armor because I like that more but

I don't know I think you know Cobra commanders

dealt with some some kind of weird stuff too

you know between the Cobra law and in the comics

he's dealt with transformers as well and in some

regards he dealt with the transformers too in

the animated series but Don't know. It's it's

kind of kind of difficult. I'm gonna go cover

commander just because I prefer the character

more so I'm gonna go doom just cuz cover commander

can be kind of bad kind of bumbling and doom

is you know all hail doom like He's got mythical

abilities. He's you know, he has shown the ability

to travel through time. He again is has his kind

of He the mechanical abilities near near to that

of a Tony Stark along with the kind of sheer

genius of Reed Richards in a way He also just

he's a man with a plan and he's always one step

ahead where if you're like, you know Cobra commander

is almost like a Kind of ad -libs or doesn't

think things through nearly as much as someone

like doom does so But you know, I guess it commando

does have his gigantic army of Cobra behind him.

So who I think I Don't do as people tend to love

him, too but you know, you Would they fight for

him? I I think that's where you might Cobra commander

could exploit a weakness because unlike, you

know The Marvel characters are more they're not

gonna go after the people of that area, but someone

like Cobra commander could which would be like

a tactic he's not really prepared for. So that

might be an opening, but overall I think Mono,

Emono, Doom would take out Commander. I think

that's gonna, the G .I. Joe fans come out and

support Cobra Commander and the comic fans might

have Doom. I'd be interested to see that back

and forth as well. Yeah, we'll have to wait and

see, I guess. Should be kind of interesting So

yeah next up on the matchup we have the Joker

against Captain pollution I'm going Joker, but

that's just because he deals in a lot of this

stuff a lot of the pollution a lot of chemicals

a lot of Plus he's crazy. I know Captain pollution

supposed to have powers and be crazy too, but

I Just feel like Joker would know how to reverse

engineered enough to dismember Captain Pollution

back to his rings because he's also devious and

has the ability to outthink. Because I mean if

you look even in not even counting Batman Beyond

although he did figure out how to cheat death

by putting himself on a microchip and planning

himself on Robin so he could come back you know

30 years later to mess with Bruce Wayne but uh

he also was the only one smart in the the legion

of doom and justice league uh unlimited where

they captured batman and they were holding him

in this the cell and he's like you need to kill

him they're like don't hold him he will get out

and they're like uh and he's like don't say i

didn't warn you you know Like he's he's crazy,

but he can channel it. So I feel like he could

turn it off long enough to Take out Captain pollution

Yeah, I don't I don't see how like when you have

a character that was Created through toxin would

be able to be hurt by it. I guess to a certain

level but yeah, I Don't know I guess maybe that

like the power Captain pollution cuz I think

he can fly and has some sort of Enhanced strength,

but you know Joker I think Joker is crazy enough

to figure out a way to kind of get get Adam and

I don't think he's a character with Captain pollution.

It was specifically designed to go after one

type of individual Where at that individual visuals

not to Joker so I don't think he'd be nearly

as prepared to take on a character like him,

so. Plus, I mean, come on, I want the Joker to

go on. I don't want to see Captain Pollution

in the semifinals. Let's be serious here. Yeah,

I agree. I don't want to see Captain Pollution

there either. I'd love nothing more than to see

the Joker end up in the semifinals, if not the

finals, which. Was debating whether I was gonna

do this and it before the the tournament came

out Because I went with a higher villain count

than we did in the 80s tournament On purpose

the next round the quarter finals will actually

start the unbalancing and what I mean by that

is It's gonna be a free -for -all between multiple

characters Not just a one -on -one battle So

it'll be interesting to see how that plays out

because there's gonna be five Fighting in the

next round and there was only two other two options

I could have two on two and then have one automatically

go to the semifinals. I Think I think I think

multiple would be a little bit more fun. That's

what I thought I thought it would be something

to change it up and then the the semi -finals

will be you know three combating because only

uh because i'm still having it break down in

a sense that one will move on more easily and

then there'll still be it'll be basically like

the top three make it in to the semi -finals

and then there'll be a team versus battle uh

so there will be two survivors of the semi -finals

on either side and then you'll have a uh Interesting

team up I hope So We'll see how that goes after

this this next week of voting so Who ends up

in that pile and who can work together I think

that's where you can kind of get some you may

people get a little bit an upset, you know Where

you can have the two big two insane powerful

characters kind of kind of destroy one another

and then you know the The smaller more weaker

Underdog just you know, kind of off to the dust

settles walks away It's you know, there's a lot

of a lot of different scenarios that gives you

so I'd be interested to see how that changes

and maybe that could lead to someone Unexpected

making it to the finals compared to like what

you would typically get was just the one -on

-one battles That's and that's kind of why I

was wanting to do it is because I thought it

would just be interesting and fun to do So, back

to the voting round. We have two battles left

on this side of the bracket before we go into

the quarter final battle. And that will be between

Lex Luthor and Beast Wars Megatron. This one

I like a lot. I think this is a lot of fun. This

one scares me. I know you're looking for Megatron.

Maybe obviously greater than that of Cobra Commander

He is a gigantic robot against just a normal

every or not every day But just like Luther so

is that Kind of leaning you to take on to take

on Megatron as the person who would walk away

in this battle It's it's kind of difficult. There's

a lot of a lot of Variables That could sway the

battle either way Like you have for instance

the Beast Wars characters aren't that much bigger

than proto humans which They they show the size

comparison in Beast Wars and The humans go up

to basically Megatron's waist in this and that

was it for a kid so I feel like Luthor would

be maybe a head or two shorter than Megatron,

at least in this form. So I don't think there'd

be much of a size differentiating there, but

I do see the fact that they're both brilliant,

they're both egotistical, they both play to other

people's emotions, and they're both cunning.

So I mean you have that kind of going the only

thing that could possibly throw it is because

of the fact that Lex Luthor Kind of survives

everything You just find a way because he's had

brainiac he's had Dark side which he did die

in that battle, but He did the brainiac thing

he did Go toe -to -toe with Superman But I don't

feel like that the The kryptonite would do any

good in this scenario that powers his suit like

yes It would give him enough power to do like

rock them soccer robots between the two of them

Yeah, but Megatron could also just pop him in

his head and take him out I know it's a low blow,

but I think I think definitely for a first time

encounter like, you know, he's just running into

Megatron. It's Something you know the robots

he's dealing with even with Brainiac. He's not

really dealing with someone kind of like Megatron

who has You know, it's beyond the artificial

intelligence on the you know Brainiac of course

is Has that but there's He doesn't have the kind

of the viciousness of a Megatron behind him So

I think that I don't think Lex Luthor would be

prepared now if he had obviously the it's like

another role for Batman It's like how much prep

time does it get and I think Luther is similar

to that where he would probably be able to construct

something to Kind of find the weakness within

Megatron in his suit like if he knows about the

spark and or you know targeting that I think

would Something you'd be able to do but if you're

just dropping them in a neutral location for

the first time I think he you would he would

he would kind of be unmatched a one -on -one

but you know, I Megatron does time tend to overestimate

things and He tends to be his own worst enemy

so that could where with Lex Luthor He tends

to end up losing because Superman's got like

every power ever created so that back he could

Lead to try to have Megatron kind of lead to

his own demise, but I don't know. I think I agree

I think I would probably lean towards Megatron

in this but and I don't know who would win this

one I think is probably gonna be one of the closest

ones because you have so many Transformers fans,

but you also have Lex Luthor often Written and

listed as one of the best comic book films ever.

So I think this one's gonna be really close see

for for me like obviously I'm biased but And

I make no qualms to hide that with being able

to do the voice and following this character

since I was a kid. It's not hard for me to decide

which one. But, you know, the other thing about

Megatron, though, is he also he may underestimate

things at times, but he also pretty much knew

that Starscream was going to betray him in a

sense. Which is why he gave him the crapshoot

mission when Starscream came to Beast Wars Even

though he didn't count on him actually going

to the Predacon base to attack it, but he knew

that he couldn't trust him and He also worked

with the He got ravaged to release him he managed

to take rampage in control of his spark Who's

indestructible so Megatron could have easily

also sent that but the other thing that kind

of cripples Megatron is he kind of leans on for

some reason he loves Dinobot because he keeps

resurrecting him and various clones in the series

and they all betray him and it seems like whenever

he relies on his henchmen his plans fail but

if he's the one that's running the machinations

and he's the one that's that's that's actually

entering into the fray and and doing it himself

he succeeds and when he's set out to do yeah

so yeah i i mean i could see it going either

way but again it would it would kind of depend

on like you said the prep time of luth or kind

of being able to at least analyze something to

uh At least somewhat damage him Yeah, but I mean,

yeah, you gotta you gotta consider the fact Lexus

are just a normal dude, you know He's a guy with

no powers that's going against Superman and even

when he's faced like, you know something like

Superman Red Sun where you have a Soviet Superman

he's been able to Kind of find ways But Megatron

doesn't have that like key kryptonite weakness

per se so that that's where It becomes challenging.

But I think I think this last battle may not

be as heavily debated as some of the ones we've

had today. Yeah, I mean, it's it's I think it's

going to be a pretty close shot here, but. Out

of any of them on this side of the bracket anyway,

I think it's going to be one of the closest shots.

Aside from. Cobra Commander, Dr. Doom. But. we'll

see i guess um we'll see how much uh nostalgia

uh and and franchises come into play and and

the actual uh how they would be attacking each

other so the final battle of the night we get

sel against dr robotnik yeah this this is kind

of a toss out yeah like i said this one's pretty

Pretty obvious. Obviously, it's Dr. Robotnik

now, of course. You have Goku against a guy who

can't stop a rodent from basically destroying

himself. So I think it's pretty easy to determine

who would take this out. Yeah, and I'm obviously

going with Cell just because I like the character

more than Robotnik. the fact that a bunch of

furry creatures were able to defeat Robotnik

and He's just an ordinary dude with with mechanical

Capabilities and cell just can't plain die and

absorbs the Z fighters to learn their powers

Yeah, it is just gonna kill a mustache. But still

I don't don't know if I can go with them So who

do you think you know? Looking at December bracket

same question. You asked me who would you pick

for the semi -finals based upon who's left of?

side to I'm gonna go sell because obviously he's

he's a very strong contender With all of his

is Dragon Ball Z powers and his healing capability

and The fact that if you don't eradicate even

him down to the very last cell he can come back

So that's definitely gonna be one of them I'm

gonna vote the Joker because I think he's crazy

and Sometimes crazy works and he can figure things

out even if he's not Going to win or if he knows

how to play to people's Emotions and do this

like mental reverse psychology thing to kind

of screw with them enough so that he can destabilize

them to kind of push them in the direction he

wants. Or at least distract them enough that

he could possibly take them out. And then I'm

going to go with Megatron. Because it would be

awesome to have two robots fighting as a team

in the versus battles in the end. Yeah, I think

I grew with you and so I think he's he's going

to be hard one to take out. But I think I would

also say Dr. Doom, because You know never cannot

doom and For the thirst I think Megatron too.

I think Megatron is gonna if he can get past

Lex Luthor I think that's gonna Be a good sign

for him for the semi -finals, but i'm going doom

doom Megatron and uh in cell but you know ink

I think might not like ink. I think it's like

by a lot of people and again, she's got She's

like her power set is really hard for unless

you have someone like a king couple like I did

you make be difficult for someone to find a weakness

so she she may make You know make you pretty

far as well But I think this side is a little

bit harder harder to determine but you never

know because I think The power sets are a little

bit different, but there's also some really really

popular characters. He's not sure how that will

impact it like There's a good chance Cobra Commander

could be Dr. Doom even though I wouldn't agree

with it, but that's still that's a strong possibility

So we'll have to see next week how all this plays

out Yeah, I'm definitely looking forward to seeing

how this this particular round Takes place because

that's going to determine the entire Rest of

how things play out On both sides of the bracket

and I honestly I mean, you could end up with

contenders of Apocalypse and The Mandarin or

something in the championship level in team battles

or something and having Cell or Megatron with

Doctor Doom or something. It would be a bit insane,

honestly. So yeah, leave your comments on the

episode post we did get some feedback on the

on this side of the bracket, which I'll read

really quickly kind of surprised that Didn't

get a little bit more feedback, but I'm always

grateful for what we do happen to get and Yeah,

so we had walking dread I had closed the poll

unfortunately early and then I reopened it because

I Didn't think that even voting today was gonna

really count for all that much other than just

adding a vote to Everyone because there was enough

stacking that unless we had like five or six

people voting. It probably wasn't going to change.

Yeah but I reactivated and then deactivated it

like shortly before the show and then Haley Bailey

says, this has been fun. Green Goblin is her

choice against the Joker because Goblin is faster,

stronger and probably smarter than the Joker

because Green Goblin is a genius who went insane,

whereas Joker just is insane. And he also has

the equipment and could just carpet bomb the

entire area that Joker is in. And obviously that

didn't play out that way. Epicurious says well,

it's not like Joker hasn't faced a guy with a

flying machine and crazy equipment before and

walked away, okay? And then Green Goblin is used

to being the craziest guy in the room The Joker's

craziness will throw him off leaning to Joker

just taking advantage via pencil to the eye And

then Brian Jackson says a lot of great matchups

this round hardest one is Joker vs. Goblin I

went Goblin because he's got the crazy tech and

superhuman strength. He won't be intimidated

by Joker's crazyness craziness at all heck he

maybe will top it and Well Joker took him Interesting

so sometimes the comments are not so it'd be

interesting if you're someone who voted for Joker

to be me Defend your guy because it seems like

the comments are leaning another direction Yeah,

and that was kind of interesting because five

of the votes were for goblin and 12 were for

the Joker So I was kind of surprised at the fact

that there was no Joker love in the comments

down there. I mean there was by Epicurious but

uh, yeah, I mean obviously myself I voted Joker

but that's because I Just I prefer the character

and I think he wouldn't take them. So yeah So

yeah that about rounds this one out so looking

forward to seeing what everyone comments and

votes on this next round and Yeah, it's it's

gonna be getting more interesting as we get closer

to the end of this and ride right up until the

top 100 For sure, so great. So if people want

to live up to just go to get casperator comm

To do that on the episode post? Yep, go to the

episode post, comment on there, vote on there.

If you want to get other people involved, you

can also share it on social media for the individual

polls, because there is a social share option

to where you can share it to Facebook, Twitter,

Google Plus, and Tumblr, among other things.

So yeah, that's one of the other nice things

I liked about this particular voting platform

was that You can kind of do all that I kind of

I really like this this new way of voting opposed

to the the way we did it in the past and Having

to create custom graphics for everything and

then set up non graphical poll system So but

yeah, it's it's it's been interesting so they

can they can comment on that It'd be easy to

get to you on the website Should be in the slider.

I Imagine it'll be in the comments. It'll be

in the latest podcast unless it gets blown out

of there But there is a relive the previous battles

of GCR and war section on the main page You can

click to and it will be listed in there. So nice

if you can't find it, it'll be there So until
