Discussion Topic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80708068 (if you want to complain about this topic series do it here and not in the current topic)

Rules: If you list more than 4 things I'm gonna just tally the first 4 you say. If you list the same character multiple times it won't count. Be nice. Don't shove your personal definition of "Mount Rushmore" down others' throats. Have fun. If you're going to majorly change a vote please quote your old vote to make it easier for me.

Greek Mythology-specific rules: I am looking specifically for characters from the Greek mythology, so no Homer because he was a real dude. I am talking Gods, deities, monsters, all that shit. Please try to use their Greek names and not their Roman names (Heracles/Hercules).

Characters need to be an actual part of ancient Greek mythology and not late additions, so no Kratos. If you want to vote Zagreus please do it because you love the... very VERY obscure story of Zagreus (who might actually be Dionysus anyway??) and not because Zagreus from Hades is hot as fuck (he is).

YESTERDAY: This was a lot of fun although I was expecting some bigger votals. I suppose it's hard to get people fired up over a color. Not a big presence from the green fandom on B8.

This was by far the closest race for 1st we have ever had, with Hulk and Kermit consistently within 1 vote of each other into the high 40s until Kermit finally pulled away. Hulk actually lead Kermit by 1 most of the time so this is kind of an upset.

Grinch never truly came close to Luigi who had way too good of a start. There was very little discourse on actually having green skin being a qualifier but that did not stop Green Mario from taking 4th.

Shoutouts to Wicked Witch for doing so well despite not getting any support for the first half of the topic. Also shoutouts to the TMNT who each got at least 1 vote.

I briefly considered not counting the Green Lantern votes because there's like 5000 Green Lanterns and no one specified which one (other than the one vote for Jade) but w/e he didn't get a lot of support anyway

WTF answer: Link, who is clearly a blue character.

I feel like those three are a lock and I'll just wait for discussion on who gets the fourth slot
It's tempting to linger in this moment, while every possibility still exists. But unless collapsed by an observer, they will never be more than possibilities.

Kinda wanted to pick Hermes, Aries or Athena, but wasnt sure what to pick for 4th. I feel like the first 3 are locks though due to their appearances in stuff.

I still maintain that Hercules/Heracles is a lock. He's too famous to leave off of here.

Achilles is really slept on because Achilles Heel is such a well known expression

why is Hercules so popular btw? Is it just off the back of the Disney movie?

Because every guy with even slight muscles is nicknamed Hercules

I mean the story of Hercules always been a famous story even before the movie.

The movie didn't make it famous. They made it because it was a famous story already.

For the weebs, theres Fate where Heracles is a servant.

Specifically in Grand Order, hes a really good unit.
Incidentally Grand Order has an event going on right now involving Space Odysseus.

I just have questions about it because of the Greek/roman split of the name throwing me off and the fact that so many facets of the labors tale are condensed

but on the other hand, I guess when you think looks like a Greek god you tend to think of him and he was stretched out so much by the Romans that Hercules just took over the name so alright sure

dont think he would make my list (and stretching Roman myth may even make me think of Aphrodite/Venus at a spot) but I can at least see it now

Warning: I'm literally VeryInsane.
I made 100 Rushmores and not a single one did all 4 Green Characters. It absolutely refused to do Kermit or Luigi and I ended up having to describe what they looked like instead of using their names, which STILL did not help with Kermit and made some truly awful Luigis

It had no problem with Hulk and Yoda though

I don't think the beasts outside of maybe Medusa are on par with the top Rushmore choices.
It's Reyn Time.

The azuarc of the contest universe is long, but it bends toward Guruship.
I mean there's no point doing a separate thing for Roman mythology because it's basically the same thing with different names, so the fact that he's Heracles in Greek shouldn't matter here

Although maybe I should add Uranus because of the joke
