AFI’s 100 Heroes and Villains Battle Tournament


​

The Hype crowned The Shawshank Redemption the greatest American film of the last 100 years. Now it is time to find the greatest hero and villain from film. Kindly Atticus Finch and the evil and twisted Hannibal Lecter hold the top spots on thier respective lists. Can they hold on, or will Hype favourites from some of the biggest blockbuster films of all time knock the two down? Or will an unexpected hero and villain reign supreme? Only this battle will tell!

​

The heroes and villians will face off in their respective groups. The lowest seeded hero/villian will face the highest seeded hero/villian, and this will continue throughout the tournament. In the case of odd numbered rounds, a three way battle will take place between the three lowest seeded heroes/villains. When the Hype's Greatest Hero and Villian are decided they will face off in a battle to determine who the greatest one is.

​

Updated scores will appear in this post throughout the duration of the tournament. Please check here to see how your favourite characters are faring.


​

RULES​

• Players may vote once per individual battle
• The winning film will be determined by having at least 8 votes with a margin of victory of 2 within a 72 hour period (from the beginning of the battle)
• If there is no clear winner by the end of the 72 hour period, a sudden death match will be announced. Once sudden death is announced by either War Party or myself, the first three votes in will determine the winner. All players are open to vote in sudden death even if they have voted already in the battle except the organizers and those mentioned in rule #4
• To make sure no one creates accounts to throw the tourney, you may only participate in this tournament if you have at least 50 posts OR have been registered at the Hype for at least a week. Players who do not meet these requirements will not have their votes counted.
• The organizers of this tournament reserve the right to tweak the rules when there is need.

Lastly we would like to remind you all to play respectfully. This should be a really fun tournament with some heated battles.


Good luck!

BTW what did andrew even do that hero worthy? i've seen the movie, but why is he considered a hero, i think the lawyer (Denzel Washington) would be better matched as the hero.. Andrew just sat there the whole movie.
