Mount Rushmore 2-specific rules: Happy President's Day!

US Presidents only, real ones and not someone like Dick Cheney because he was president for a few hours while GWB had surgery. The only presidents not eligible are the ones on Mount Rushmore 1 (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt, Abe Lincoln). If you want you can imagine they are building this down the way from Mount Rushmore 1 (if location matters to you).

Please keep extended political talk out of this topic. I understand that there's going to have to be some but let's not turn Mount Rushmore 2 Toxic please. I will absolutely close this topic and we will forget it ever happened.

YESTERDAY: The Top 4 were never contested and we had the most things with single votes we have ever had. Going into page 2 there were only 3 votes for the FF Main Theme, when users Waluigi1 and Ulti pointed out how that is crazy.

Turns out it did legit seem some people were confusing Prelude with the Main Theme, and while the Main Theme did recover a bit after this, Prelude was way too far ahead, and came close to overthrowing OWA several times. Main Theme ended up finishing in a distant 5th but probably would have done worse if it wasn't for the mid-topic debate.

AI Rushmore: It kept just making angels with one or more wings. I kind of like this one because it is not a lady but an actual monument (with a single wing):

"Video game characters known for their titties"

I couldn't do this because I don't pay for chatGPT so it won't talk about tits

I had to talk about the female form and how it would appeal to a bunch of us JRPG/Nintendo nerds in our 20s, I also mentioned that there needed to be relevantly available commercial art of the character

TJF is a science and I majored in it

I don't need you guys to specify which version of Prelude unless someone feels VERY strongly about one version being different enough/elevated enough to specifically be on the Rushmore

Same goes for any other recurring song. I think it's easier not to get granular

Also, if anyone has any other noms or noms they want to second, please do so. I'll work on the extended schedule once more people say what they want next

EDIT: the pic came out too small, I'll leave it but here's a google sheet that's easier to read: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uCR-viOTP-yKhRZnTyvaoXj7teKRA12gz7m-1rfmhoY/

If you don't see what you nominated on here it's because it is on my extended schedule, I am taking all nominations down.

YESTERDAY: Ended up being one of the most predictable days we have ever had, "box art legendaries plus big Pokemon from the anime" was the obvious answer and while very few people actually had that combo of 4, these guys were all over the votes.

There was a brief period where Pichu lead Ho-Oh, but I've noticed that as topics go on the weirdos who are regulars in this topic (all the people I have tagged as friends) all have their votes cast and the people I don't recognize as well show up to vote for what is more likely the "correct" answer.

I had to throw out a vote for Espeon and a vote for Umbreon because two people did not read the rules. It didn't change the results though.

I think it is notable that there was a single vote for Totodile, which prevented that entire line from being snubbed. What will be the first starter line to get 0 votes in one of these?

AI Rushmore:

Once again the model obviously is trying to avoid Pokemon for copyright reasons although I did get it to give me a Pikachu once. Despite me changing the prompt a few times to try to get more than one, it always just spat out one big Fakemon. Here's the best result:

I think what "saved" the movie for me is that I went into the top corner of the mostly empty theater and wrote notes every time something stupid happened (so constantly)

there were some scenes where I legit wanted to talk out due to a combination of frustration and boredem. the notes absolutely saved me

I have no idea how people are sitting through the whole thing. I DARTED out of the theater as soon as the credits started. i didn't want another second of this movie

If you don't see what you nominated on here it's because it is on my extended schedule, I am taking all nominations down. The extended schedule is a work in progress and is not available at this time, mainly because you all had so many (non-Pokemon) good ideas.

YESTERDAY: The top 4 were set and did not budge for the entire topic, but we got basically every "classic" bad movie represented at some point on the tally. Not much else to say other than "it is morbing time."

There was a brief point where Troll 2 was close to Cats so that can be the honorary 5th place.

Tiebreaker was really close the entire day, Blue Shell was trailing several times before finally overtaking the Keyblade late last night. Easily the closest tiebreaker we've had.

I actually didn't have a ton of problem with the acting outside of Madame Web's mom, Ezekiel's intern and a bit of Sydney Sweeney trying to be a sheltered nerd. Nobody was good in the movie but nobody was truly bad (outside of Madame Web's mom)

Most of my issues are with the absolutely insane plot and bad screenwriting

Actually somewhat tempted to change the Room to Jack and Jill

I have gotten too much enjoyment out of Dunkaccino to flip but this is a great option also

the "tough decisions" made by higher ups are usually from misinterpreted data or bad information/understanding of a situation. they will then double down when they find out it was a bad idea so that they don't seem stupid

Epic Movie

Fateful Findings
Madame Web

I have a semi-viral LB review on Epic Movie: https://letterboxd.com/zenofthunder/film/epic-movie/

Recency bias on Madame Web, see my (spoiler-filled) notes here: https://letterboxd.com/zenofthunder/film/madame-web/

I wanted bad superhero representation on here and I think Madame Web deserves it. I've seen mostly all major superhero releases in the past 25 years and Madame Web is the worst I've seen by far

Above rule is to stop someone like Uwe Boll from dominating the tally, although I am not sure how relevant he is anymore

The movies you nominate should be generally considered bad, so no, don't go nominating Titanic or whatever cuz "THERE WAS ROOM FOR BOTHA DEM ON DA DOOR!!!!!" I think my dad would say that. Don't be my dad.

If you don't see what you nominated on here it's because it is on my extended schedule, I am taking all nominations down. The extended schedule is a work in progress and is not available at this time, mainly because you all had so many (non-Pokemon) good ideas.

YESTERDAY: Surprisingly a ton of fun to tally. It seemed that the top 4 would be Master Sword/BFG/Buster Sword/Keyblade for a long while until Blue Shell started picking up steam. We had a few people who nominated other Mario items flipping to Blue Shell which helped it get the tie.

There was some discourse about whether or not the Master Sword is "iconic" enough and I think that's the WTF answer for the week. We also had someone bring up Metal Gear and I think if that had been mentioned early enough it would have done well.

Shoutouts to the BFG which actually briefly lead over Master Sword and Buster Sword. Other than "FPS Mount Rushmore" I don't know what other Rushmores Doom would do so well in.

The weapon should actually be used to do damage in some way, so Pokeballs don't count as they do not actually do any damage.

the fact that blue shell was basically a character in the first big Mario movie shows how iconic it is

im pretty sure she became fully aware of what the internet thinks of these Sony spider-man movies when the trailer dropped if she wasnt aware after morbius

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/e/edc58e21.png
If your nominations look like: "Master Sword, Hookshot, Buster Sword, Sephiroth's Sword," I will keep Master Sword and Buster Sword and throw out the other two

The focus here should be tangible, physical weapons, not spells of any kind, which can be a different Rushmore. The weapon should actually be used to do damage in some way, so Pokeballs don't count as they do not actually do any damage. The primary usage of the weapon should be to deal damage, so no Hylian Shield or anything like that

Similarly, let's not get into the "are Pokemon weapons" territory here because I don't want Charizard on a third Rushmore

This is probably the most rules I've ever done for a Rushmore, I'm going to try not to be the fun police but this topic is a little more abstract IMO

YESTERDAY: Not much competition here. Some mild debate over whether or not Lara Croft and Jill should count and a small push for Aya at the end. I thought the 4th spot would be a bit more debated but KP came in pretty early to remind everyone of the KOS-MOS pic incident and that seemed to give her a comfortable enough lead that she never had to worry about Lara.

The real story was in the tiebreaker, seeing Jill lose not only on TJF day, but on Valentine's Day. Heartbreaking! Leon gets our 4th spot on the Capcom Rushmore.

Most WTF answer: You know it's gotta be Nidoran F. Also someone voted for Rufus (SF) and I had to throw that out as Rufus was never actually in a contest but it was a good joke.

it was very boring AND frustrating, if you have any intelligence at all (and I'm talking "middle school diploma") then it will be difficult to sit through. it takes forever to get going and you can tell the FIVE SCREENWRITERS had trouble making "future sight" a cool or interesting power

This is what happens when you take a character with no good source material and try to get a screenplay out of it

so you have Madame Web in the cartoon, who really doesn't do anything but say some cryptic shit every few episodes, and you have... 48 issues of comic book material:

https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Cassandra_Webb_(Earth-616)/Appearances

they also use Jessica Drew's costume from when she becomes Madame Web so I guess you can count that brief period she was being actively used as Madame Web II as source material also

but unlike even Morbius, Madame Web never got spinoffs or one shots about her character. She exists to be a plot device. This was easily the most ill-advised movie Sony could have made

oh wait

I have been thinking about it nonstop, and I am pretty sure Ezekiel is the worst villain in a superhero movie, probably ever. I cannot think of anyone worse outside of maybe... whoever was the bad guys in Ghost Rider and Elektra

Ezekiel klls Madame Web's mom, not in a cool way, just with a gun, because he "has to" because he had a rough childhood. The movie does not elaborate on this, he just says it once, to justify his... murder.

He takes the Willy Wonka-looking spider form Madame Web's mom, and my assumption was that he was going to sell it for money, but I guess he let it bite him off screen so that he could get powers, because he definitively seemed to know that this exotic, previously undiscovered spider would DEFINITELY give him future sight and spider powers. Train of thought: the same spider gave Ezekiel Spider-Man powers AND future sight but only gave Madame Web future sight. She mentions this as weird but they never address it again because it would be too hard for the screenwriter to do another pass.

So we time skip and Ezekiel is... just living the good life. He DIDN'T sell the spider and has it as a pet or something. It is unclear what Ezekiel does for a living, I think he's just a "bad guy."

Ezekiel's ONLY motivation, the ONLY thing that makes him attack the girls, is that he has this recurring vision that the three of them would one day Comedian him out of a big glass window. Because of this he is determined to kill them so he can... live.

There is no deeper plan here, Ezekiel isn't like "oh man these girls are gonna stop me from... shooting a big blue laser into the sky and turning everyone into spiders," he JUST WANTS TO NOT GET THROWN OUT OF A WINDOW

He also has like, an intern or something? The bad guy has a "man in the chair" and they never explain who she is to Ezekiel or what she really does. He just yells at her over the phone a lot

I am just baffled at how weak the motivation here is. Ezekiel and his intern are also dumb as hell too, he sees the three girls get on a train together and it doesn't click to him that maybe he is writing his own destiny by basically being the reason that they form a girl power team to kick his ass

Maybe my expectations were a little high because Ezekiel was a big part of the early Spider-Verse stuff in the comics. I thought his motivation would be related to that. But nope. He just wants to not get thrown out of a window.

Then it doesn't even fucking matter because his vision is wrong and he is crushed by product placement

This is not even half baked, this is like, raw ingredient still in the cupboard

EDIT: this movie may have driven me insane I can't stop thinking about it

If you don't see what you nominated on here it's because it is on my extended schedule, I am taking all nominations down. The extended schedule is a work in progress and is not available at this time, mainly because you all had so many (non-Pokemon) good ideas.

YESTERDAY: We now have another exciting tiebreaker as Jill failed to secure the bag here despite having a comfortable lead over Leon multiple times. In fact, at one point, very briefly, Leon was tied with Phoenix, until people just... stopped voting for Phoenix. Then people just... stopped voting for Jill, mysteriously around the time the Morrigan fans showed up, seemingly a day early for the TJF poll.

This all culminated in Jill being BEHIND going into the last page, by only two votes, getting those two votes and tying it, and then not being able to actually break that tie as the last vote after tying was for the iconic RE character Nemesis, who has fucked Jill over one last time.

Most WTF answer: Honestly I'm into all of these answers but it was a bit weird to get a vote for Ryu BoF so early on. We got more abstract answers towards the end when it was obvious who the top characters were including Ada Wong, Servbot and Mike Haggar. Shoutouts to Captain Commando and Tron Bonne for getting TWO votes.

I want an actual top 128 Pokemon 1v1 tournament but that's a lot to ask of one person to organize and run
