March Madness Round 2! The Whedonverse Character Tournament

So if you're just stumbling on to this now, you're right on time for Round 2 of this "March Madness" tourney - Whedon style. It's been designed to find the best/fan-favorite character of the entire Whedonverse (Buffy, Angel, Firefly and Dr. Horrible). Don't blame us if the choices are crazy, they were random at first but now are the result of your picks. From now on it's the "best of the best" and I know I'm scared.

Most of the last part were blow-outs. With the exception of maybe Connor vs. Lindsey (Lindsey won) they were all pretty one-sided. In fact, We finally had the first all out sweep in which Anya was victorious over Adam 50-0. This enraged Michelle since Buffy's match wasn't the same (Kendra managed 2 votes against her.) I think it has more to do with Adam's lameness than anything else. Here is the full list of winners:

The Mayor 36 to Simon 14; Wesley 37 to Joyce 13; Connor 18 to Lindsey 32; Anya 50 to Adam 0;
Buffy 48 to Kendra 2; Inara 40 to Moist 8; Illyria 35 to Dawn 14; Andrew 39 to Whistler 11

A few stats if you're into number geekery: As far as shows go, BtVS is winning since it retained 52% of it's original characters. Dr. Horrible is in 2nd place there, holding on to 2 of the 4 that were placed in round 1. Angel held on to 46% and Firefly is last as they lost quite a bit of their team and only have 44% left. Come on Browncoats! Don't get a jelly-belly on us now.

Finally, and most importantly, here are the next pairings which are for the first part of Round 2 (ending in 3 days - Thurs March 19th at 11:59 pm EST.) Just like always, if you want to play leave your choices in the comments section of this post!

The Sunnydale Region:

Oz vs. River







Jenny Calendar vs. Malcolm Reynolds







Faith vs. Spike (another could've been hot couple..check them out!)






Darla vs. Ethan Rayne (Ethan's still hangin with the big guys, huh?)





The Serenity Region:

Xander Harris vs. Charles Gunn (who will take it??)







Winifred "Fred" Burkle vs. The Master







Willow Rosenberg vs. Tara MaClay (I know, I know.)






Principal Robin Wood vs. Captain Hammer (Wood meet Hammer! Oh, that sounded both innocent and dirty at the same time.)

  1. Re: Zacki and the whole Angelus/Angel thing - Sorry if there is confusion, we actually did discuss this once upon a time when we decided the characters. It's weird b/c we separated Fred and Illyria...but if we separated Angel from Angelus then we'd have to separate Spike from Souled!Spike and then it's a whole thing. So yes, you can lump the Vamps with Souls together with their evil counterparts for voting purposes.

    When is someone going to name their band Vamps with Souls? Come on already!

    Ok, on to my torturous picks. Some of these were extremely difficult for me. I'm not even going to bother explaining b/c I don't even understand the explanations:

    The Sunnydale Region:
    River
    Malcolm Reynolds
    Faith (they are so frickin' similar!)
    Darla

    The Serenity Region:
    Charles Gunn
    Fred
    Tara

  14. Sunnydale Region:
    Oz - Love the guy!
    Mal - I really didn't like Jenny.
    Spike - This was so hard! I went with Spike purely as I think he had more fun moments.
    Ethan - Darla's voice just grated on me.

    Serenity Region:
    Xander - another tricky one! But I am loyal to Buffy over Angel.
    Fred - Although I did like the Master as a big bad.
    Willow - HARD! but I only really liked Tara in s6 (when she got a personality).
    Captain Hammer - Not keen on Wood!

    Some hard ones there!

    *Malcolm Reynolds (Jenny wasn't that great)

    *Faith (Easy choice for me. Loved evil Spike and his character kind of went downhill for me even though he did have many fun moments)

    *Darla (Opposed to Spike, Darla's character got better as she came back in Angel)

    The Serenity Region:
    *Xander Harris (Easy choice, one of my favorite characters)

    *Fred (Another easy choice)

    *Willow Rosenberg

    *Captain Hammer

  20. River- this was the hardest pick for me

    Mal- Captain Tightpants rules!

    Spike- another tough one

    Darla- I didn't vote for her in the first round and I did vote for Ethan but Darla I do like Darla better than Ethan

    Xander- he was funnier and had a deeper character

    Master- never a fan of Fred

    Willow- battle of the les witches, Willow gets the vote cuz she went all veining and Tara didn't

    Hammer- funny wins out again for me

  34. Yeah! Post number 36, motherf^&*%*s! I have no idea what that means. On with the show!

    - Oz because River is not a slayer I don't care what you think and la la la not listening.

    - Mal because this isn't even contest. I hated Jenny before and I'll continue to hate her even after the Rapture comes to scoop her up and take her to mythical Jesus land.

    - Faith because because I prefer my redeemed former murders with vay jay jays. It's just my way.

    - Darla because I didn't even vote for Ethan the last time Sorry, I guess, Ethan, but not really.

    - Charles Gunn because he actually had to be turned into a vampire in order to become a complete douche. Xander is just naturally that way.

    - The Master because he's got punch bowl mouth.

    - Tara because she wouldn't flay someone or get "addicted to magic" like a toolbox.

    - Captain Hammer because Robin is still a wussy name.

  37. Oz - I really want to say River, but the fact he's a former Scoob just makes me love him.

    Jenny

    Faith

    Darla - Ethan NEVER should've beaten Fray. I still don't get how he did!

    Xander

    Fred

    Tara - I think I just died inside a litle. *sob*

    Hammer - I think he's an arogant twat, but at least I have some kind of emotion for the character.

  89. Wow, some tough choises. Mostly from pairs which clearly won't make it all the way in though.

    So, Sunnydale region:
    -River (a bit of a headscratcher)
    -Malcolm
    -Spike (as nice as Faith was, Spike was essential)
    -Darla (again, a toughie in the minor leage region)

    Serenity region:
    -Xander
    -The Master (not a fan, but Fred wasn't that interesting either)
    -Willow (nobrainer)
    -Captain Hammer

    Spike
    Darla
    Xander
    Fred
    Willow
    Wood

    The explanations:
    Oz was a perfect boyfriend: devoted, supportive, and ready to kill anyone who hurt Willow. He was also the character most likely to put things in perspective ("we survived... high school.").

    Mal Reynolds: fiercely protective of his family, but also knows when to be silly. He's the one person you want at your back in a crisis.

    Spike: tough choice here, but as gorgeous as Eliza is, half my BtVS quotes list is from Spike. Too smart and too cool to get caught up (as Faith did) in the whole "good" vs "evil" dichotomy, Spike only ever did what was awesome.

    Darla: The first scene of the first episode set the stage for the entire series.

    Xander: I never really connected with Gunn. Xander had few chances to be the hero, but those he did get he did well.

    Fred: adorable nerd hero vs camp villain? No contest.

    Willow vs Tara: These two were adorable together, and I think Willow did as much to bring out Tara's confidence as Oz had done for Willow. But alas for Tara, in direct comparison she will always be in Willow's shadow.

    Wood: better at intelligence, romance, and even at being a hero than Hammer was.

    Xander Harris
    Winifred "Fred" Burkle
    Tara Maclay
    Captain Hammer

    Seriously, though? I had to choose between Faith and Spike? Willow/Tara was easier than that. Oz/River was a tough one too, just because the characters are so different.

  131. I thought I was going crazy when I couldn't find how to vote. Then I looked in the comments... (duh)

    Could we perhaps use an online poll thingy instead to make this easier??

    Anyway, here's my choices for this round:

    Sunnydale Region

    Oz
    Jenny
    Faith
    Darla

    Serenity Region

    Xander
    Master
    Tara (Willow's awesome, but Tara... MMmmmm...)
    Wood

  132. I just stumbled onto this today,so I'm not sure I really understand it, but here I go anyways.

    If we are talking "They are in a horrible situation and I can only save one" I would pick Oz. If we are talking "who would win in a fist fight" that would be River.

    I pick Mal over Jenny any day.

    I pick Faith over Spike.

    I pick Darla over Ethan.

    I pick Xander over Charles

    I pick Fred over the Master because I like her more, but the Master would most def win in an actual fist fight.

    Wood over Hammer.
