Official Contest of Marvels II Discussion Thread

Holy crap... I'm winning the Sphinx v. Psycho Man debate?!

 

[Phaedrus45]

And, trouncing Psycho pretty damn good! I debated that match the best I could and think I gave everyone one of the best reasons to vote off one of the most uber contestants in this contest. This definitely puts Sphinx as one of the top characters to take this whole thing. Good job, Zoken.

 

[Darthphere]

Did I vote already?

Yes you did

Well, I watched Shut Up and Dance last night. It's the documentary on the Dixie Chicks that follows them from 2003 when they made their infamous comments on President Bush, getting them banned from a good number of Country stations across the US, to the beginning of 2006 when they released their new album that just swept the Grammys. I enjoyed it well-enough; but, not as much as many of the critics I saw review it. There are things you notice within the film. Much of what happened to them, especially currently with country radio, is a result of their own actions. They claimed that now they can finally break free of country radio and do even better. But, when you hear the songs, it's still country music. I think they believe it's not; but, it is. And, they go out of their way to distance themselves from their country roots now. (Natalie even compares herself to Springsteen and Dylan; but, those artists sang about political events, not themselves. I haven't heard their new album, except for a few songs; but, it seems like they are singing more about themselves than the political environment.) Also, you get the feeling the other two gals are followers, and Natalie is one of those people who just says what she wants when it comes into her head and the other two in the group are constantly saying they back up her right to say what she feels.

You could only purchase tickets for $225.00 with the Best Buy Reward Zone code. I wasn't going to purchase them; but, I wanted to see what I would have gotten. Tickets went on sale at 10:00, it took me about 1 minute, and they were already sold out. Now that was a waste of time.

I am sure you can scalp some if you want them badly enough....

Thanks, Ahura. You gave one heck of a debate though. I originally didn't give Hyde much hope, but he's surprised me.

We just need a more strict screening process. How Hippy ever got in is beyond me.

 

[wiegeabo]

I think large amounts of alcohol was involved.

 

[hippy fascist]

You tricked me. You're not really Patrick Swayze!

 

[Phaedrus45]

Hippy, did you get my PM? The results in Thread 2 need to be edited on the Armageddon/Dr. Doom match.

Man, I'm disappointed. I thought I had that Sunfire/Magnus match won. Oh well, 2 out of 3 isn't bad. Next week's going to be real difficult for I think all of my matches. What's the location?

[wiegeabo]

Is the Demask bio the right one? And do we have a pic?

 

[Zoken]

What is the Zodiac Key made of?

 

[Harlekin]

I pulled the Negative Zone location from this post. If Phaed or JH want it changed, notify me and I'll edit the post.

For those interested, here is the upcoming list of remaining locations. A couple might be iffy; if they are too general, I'll drop them. I don't have enough locations to make it through the season, though. Any suggestions for the remaining rounds would be appreciated. We want to try to stay away from duplicating a previous location.

Plus, what about the final location for the final battle? Any suggestions??? Do we want to do a vote and vote for our favorite location, having it be the final one? (Since we still won't have an indication of who the final two will be, we can do a vote after Round 2; that way, nobody will know if they are going to have an advantage with a certain location over another.)

Round 2, Week 1 Muir Island
Round 2, Week 2 Negative Zone
Round 2, Week 3 Asgard
Round 2, Week 4 Genosha (After destruction)
Round 2, Week 5 Wakanda
Round 2, Week 6 The Raft
Round 2, Week 7 The Vault
Round 2, Week 8 Madripoor
Round 3, Week 1 Danger Room
Round 3, Week 2 Alcatraz
Round 3, Week 3 Limbo
Round 3, Week 4 Helicarrier
Round 4, Week 1 N-Zone - Not sure on this one. Might need more specifics
Round 4, Week 2 X-Mansion
Round 5, Week 1 Age Of Apocalpse - Not sure on this one. Might need more specifics
Round 6, Week 1 Savage Land

I'm seeing we are missing 3 locations. I think we end up having 9 rounds.
