My top choice was John Wick, and he did pretty well. Think he should have done better tho.

Also shocked at Deathstroke doing as badly as he did.

Top 10 had some strong choices, and a few oddball choices I would've never guessed would go this far.
---

Great final round. First of my picks to win I think.

It's only because I decided to go bbq that Bruno lost. uwuuuuu
---

I can't remember if I was the one who nominated Dusknoir or not, but seeing him make the top 10 was awesome. More people need to play the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, especially the Explorers games that he was from, because they're amazing. Flonne, Ange, and Jack making the top 25 was cool too. On the other hand, seeing Ezio go out so early was a bit of a shock, especially since he's a former champion of a previous Save That.

All in all, this was a fun one, and even though he wasn't one of the character I was supporting, Bond winning is absolutely a great choice.

Even if Bruno would have made the finals, no way he's beating Bond.

Bond doesn't even have a stando.
---

Golgo and Jaws were criminally low.
---

This was fun, nice to see Bond win!

Jack and Zel didn't go as far as I hoped, but its nice to see Dusknoir make it so far.
---

I didn't vote for Bond to win, but him winning is great, as he's a fantastic character and assassin.

I'm glad Miho and Anna did well, however sad to see Gazelle go so early, and Killer No. 2 as well. More people should see Bunraku.

Overall great contest!

Are you planning on doing anymore? These seem to be dying down just a little bit. Once I'm done with Magic Users, I'm thinking about finishing up with either Fighters 3 or RPG 2. Or maybe just do them less often afterwards.
---

Yeah, I'm curious about Pop's next Save That contest, both what the theme will be and when it will happen. I'm starting to feel like having multiple contests going at once (like we usually have) is negatively affecting the popularity of all of them. For the past couple of months, we've had this one, Kaja's Save That Magic User, and Waffle's Save That Video Game (which I haven't been following) all going at once. I'd still like to see these contests continue, but maybe making them less frequent and having less overlap between them would be a good idea.
---

I'm taking the approach of slowing down. I have no intentions to stop them, I took some decent sized breaks in between my last few Save That's to keep myself from burning out. And that's what Imma do here.

As far what I'm planning for next, Save That Dog, Dogs are super common in media, always make some of the most beloved characters.

Save That Doctor, there are all kinds of doctors in media as well, also full of really fun characters.

Save That Ghost. Would be fun. Ghosts come in all shapes and sizes and from damn near any genre of anything ever. Sure we'd have something for everyone.

Also would like to Revisit Save That Pro Wrestler in the future, but it's lower on my priority.

To gage my personal interest, Dogs and Ghosts are what I lean to. Maybe a little more to Ghosts, but I think Dogs would be great.

So I'm not sure which one I'm gonna do. Any feedback on which ones you'd like to see would be great.
---

Out of those, I'd really only be mildly interested in Save That Doctor or Save That Pro Wrestler 2. Dogs and Ghosts really don't interest me at all, so if you went with one of those, I'd probably just sit that one out.
---

Of those listed, in order from most wanted to least wanted...

1. Ghosts
2. Pro Wrestlers 2
3. Doctors
4. Dogs
---

Actually while make my noms for all four categories, just for fun, I 'd prefer either ghosts or dogs.

Edit: In fact, I'll be fine with any of those categories.

Michael did better than I thought he would.
