Genesis Rhapsodos vs Dangerous Arianna like only 50 entrants in

This is vcharon's programming at work for sure

Oh wait I see what happened

Lu'cia hung around forever hidden and Delita happened to kill Tidus in the final 3 then finished Lu'cia

Silly

Ah yes, my second favorite Final Fantasy character *checks notes.* Lu'cia.

Is this some wacky glitch in how the program works or what?

I'm going to do one but it sounded like this is not what you were expecting so I'm curious how it happened.

No ugh I still love that stupid meme/movie

Oh goddammit, is that the movie where the Rock is hired to retrieve someone's son, and the son tries to get him killed by telling some guys that he's an assassin?

Yes!

Everyone who nominates Wakka has adhd and/or wants every other nominator to pick up the slack and so no one does and he gets booted

I never expect anyone to pick up the slack but don't care enough about the contest enough to f5 when I'm busy. Whiskey Nick is his number 2 saver and also doesn't care enough to f5 it is a bad combo.

It's a toss up who reaches 10 boots first imo.

X-Death and Wakka are the only ones who can hope to win it

Retiring winners is a good way to kill interest in a hurry

I'm certainly not interested in seeing X-Death get his participation award win in SMFFFC LXVIII after the top 66 entrants were retired. Talk about an empty win.

Yeah

He's definite above and beyond a bit. Kinda like if a Plantation Owner got the Captain America serum or something. Peak Plantation Owner. But still would call extreme greed his biggest sin with the way to making that money most efficiently being so awful due to his world setting-- a top tier evil person isn't negotiating for Broomhilda to begin with for example because they'd rather maintain control than have $12000.

Anyway he's clearly got the win here and I think that's likely correct but think the character would not seem quite so gross in a different world setting is all I'm saying which is why I think he's a middling entrant.

I forget what Jihl actually did in the plot. Something involving capturing Dajh (or whatever Sazh's kid name was) I think.

Eventually we'll all get a shot to see out favorites win, right?

Unlikely!

Closest I ever got was Yuffie (who is maybe top 5 for me) who faced a FFD fueled Zell. Doubt Yuffie can ever make that push again.

But I'm cool with seeing good characters win in general.

I mean I guess Tidus is one of my favorites but that run never felt like mine.

And saying "That's just what they did in those days!" is always a weird argument to have. It's like the argument the Nazi's had.

I'm not saying he isn't evil more that he isn't notably more evil than most plantation owners in those days and if you dropped him into today he'd probably just be some exploitative corporation owner instead which while still evil isn't really something worth talking about in this field.

The thing is although slavery was legal and accepted in the time not everyone that wasn't a slave owned a plantation so we aren't talking about something on the level of pure numbers as Nazis either. I fully believe basically everyone who had a huge number of slaves had to be pretty darn evil though, and that those types of people still exist today heading corporations or hedge funds or whatever else.

I distinctly remember being 15, and seeing Dwayne Johnson in a movie, and Arnold shows up for a cameo, telling him "good luck." I don't remember what movie it was, or what the context of the cameo was, but it was obviously Arnold joking that Dwayne Johnson wants to be the new Arnold.

Ironically this is The Rundown which you'd mentioned not seeing earlier in this topic

It's also the only great movie The Rock has imo.

I like the movie ones best as you may have guessed so I'll pick one of the few that hasn't been done yet

Suprak/FFD/Lopen/Andylt/Swordz - I know that I am very opinionated, and I can be very abrasive when our favorites don't necessarily align, as is the case with quite a few characters that you guys like (even in the course of this very contest). But as always, I do apologize for my attitude, and the fact that you still helped join the Vanille train and pushed her over the edge (that's 50 of her votes right there) means so much.

1. I don't associate Vanille with you. I do associate you with Fang but I think Vanille has a bigger save core to the point where I don't think of any one person with her.
2. I generally don't let people influence who I save-- especially not anymore.
3. I didn't find you particularly annoying this contest.
4. Even if I did you'd have to be PRETTY DARN ANNOYING as I'm pretty sure I save Vanille more than pretty much everyone who isn't Vanille main or Vanille trade agreement. I know I helped her in her late run last time. (I wanted to ask bot but my bot syntax is bad and bot may not even be watching)

So I mean while it's true I didn't hold anything you did in my mind with respect to my choice to support Vanille once Seymour was out there are so many layers to it that this angle was pretty unnecessary but thank you for the shout out anyway I guess?

Bot who are the top 25 Vanille savers all time

Vanille & Sazh are the only good ones

nod goes to Vanille for the narrative focus

This exactly

Wow. I thought Locke was gonna win easily

Pleasant surprise!

The ranking says no but the writeup didn't seem that bad for the stuff that matters to me. I think I will watch Dark Fate someday. Feel like it has potential to be my third favorite Terminator movie.

End of Days

I feel like a lot of Calvin's evil can be attributed to his society and that if it wasn't so profitable for him to treat slaves as he did he wouldn't. Not that that excuses him per se and not to say he doesn't go above and beyond "business" nor to say wanton greed to the extent where youd inflict suffering on people isn't evil but it hurts him as a top tier entrant imo.

Can't really say I know enough about the other character to be sure though. Reads like the character is the result of a psychotic break from trauma which also hurts evil credentials to me.

I feel like Calvin is the right vote here but wish we had actual arguments in these topics for matches like these.

I believe Linda Hamilton as a badass soldier girl, I do not believe Emilia Clarke. She's 5'2", she has the musculature of an elementary school student, and she can't act at all. There should never be a point in your action movie where I think "I could beat this person up

I believe this is my biggest problem with Genisys, phrased pretty much exactly how I would phrase it. The butchery of the mythos and stuff I'm less offended by.

As Dark Fate brings back the genuine article Linda Hamilton I feel like it's impossible to be worse than Genisys for me.

Ah man I KINDA wanted to see Terminator Dark Fate cause I was like "well there's no way it can be worse than Genisys" and then I see you're saying there is a movie worse than Genisys (good god it was bad and I agree with that write up wholeheartedly) and I just feel like "maybe I shouldn't"

Yesss. Incredible power. I like that you had an opponent abusing the location as well and still destroyed them.

Carnage

Norman Osborne thing seems like bad spin. Carnage definitely is not a mindless killing organism and "I am having less fun murdering things than I would like and would like to spice it up" is not a sign you're not evil at all. In fact to the contrary I think that shows why he's evil in that the suffering is important to him more than just the killing itself.

Dolores is a terrible person but feels more grounded in being terrible than this field is. Like there are probably thousands of real life predators out there as bad or worse than her.
