Thor Ragnarok vs Logan gave me the most pause but honestly Thor Ragnarok is one of my favorite MCU movies.  I've already watched it like 4 times.  It's fucking incredible.

Day 2? No Day 1? 

 

Never mind see it @ The Center. 

 

Some of these I haven't watched in a long time.

Yeah, I think Logan is a crowning achievement for FOX but when it comes down to it I would watch Ragnarok over Logan.

[webhead 519]

Agreed.  Logan was incredible but Ragnarok is just watchable as fuck whereas Logan is so depressing I don't want to watch it that much.

[Nick 38]

Pretty sure I ended up going with all the popular choices.

[Deimos 100]

I figured that would be the case which is why I did 64 instead of 128. The whole first round would have been fodder. 

[webhead 519]

Probably a good choice.  Get the red shirts out at the start.

Batman Begins vs Dr.Strange

 

Dr Strange was probably the better film on first viewing. I find it incredible how they managed to make the fantastic elements work. But what film would I be more inclined to watch again today? Batman Begins, easily.

Captain America: The First Avenger vs Black Panther

 

I thought this was Civil War v Black Panther which would have been insane - the first movie that Marvel film fans felt we could REALLY point to as an example of just a good movie vs the first movie the rest of the world started sniffing around on their own accord.

 

But now I see it's the First Avenger, I'll pick Black Panther.

Avengers: Infinity War vs Ant-Man & The Wasp

 

 

Infinity War. Only easy choice here. I have a lot of time for Ant Man but there was a lot of dumb in that movie.

Thor: Ragnarok vs Logan

 

 

Fuck you. Fuck. You. FUCK.

 

I think Logan might be the better movie but I love Ragnarok on a more personal level. Old Man Logan isn't a comic I'm super keen on, but I adore Thor the most and adored World War Hulk/Planet Hulk and that's basically what this movie is. Ironically, nothing like the Ragnarok comics lol

The Wolverine vs X-Men

 

 

Fairly easy. X-Men was iconic. Everything between X2 and First Class was bollocks.

Sin City vs Kick-Ass

 

 

I can see the merit in both, but Kick Ass was just awesome and Sin City never appealed to me really.

The Punisher vs The Amazing Spider-Man 2

 

 

Not overly keen on both, but seeing THAT SCENE in Murrica was a strong memory.

Wonder Woman vs Batman

 

 

Wonder Woman, easily.

 

This tournament is gonna get BRUTAL.

[webhead 519]

I'm curious what people are thinking that voted Amazing Spider-Man 2 over Punisher.  Honestly ASM2 was barely a movie.  I'm a huge Spidey fan (derp) but even I didn't like it after I got over the initial hype. It's just a straight up bad movie.  The Punisher wasn't PERFECT but Thomas Jane did a great job.  I like that guy.

[Galeigh 308]

4 and 8 were tough AF

 

I gave 4 to Logan because that movie has stayed with me longer and hit me harder than Ragnorak. 

 

I gave 8 to Batman cause that movie pretty much defined my entire childhood. 

[webhead 519]

Batman was a big part of my childhood for sure.  I'm not quite old enough that it was totally hot shit for me when I was old enough to comprehend it, but I've definitely seen it a few times.  That one was relatively hard to choose as well.

[Olly 39]

Are we talking the Burton Batman here, I assume? I couldn't vote against it, mad nostalgia of how scared I was as a kid

[webhead 519]

I assume it's Burton Batman, yeah.

[Deimos 100]

It was. We're on day 3 now!
