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.

Time Travel Movie-specific-rules:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/5/5b183827.jpg

Movie must feature time travel as a core component of the plot. Time travel cannot just be something that's a throwaway gag or a deus ex machina. The main character does not need to time travel themselves, there should just be a major character(s) time traveling in a way that impacts or drives the plot forward.

YESTERDAY: I threw away a good amount of votes for Thanos. I don't think the movie version is different enough! I worked at a comic shop for 6 years! My ruling stands! Another exclamation point!

Really great showing by Dr. Evil. There's so much latent love for Austin Powers, I cannot believe Hollywood has not tried to resuscitate that franchise.

4th place was an absolute battle the entire time. Due to the variety of characters we had Dr. Evil, Joker, Terminator, Freddy and Hannibal, all tied with each other for 3rd or 4th constantly for most of the topic. Dr. Evil managed to pull away and Freddy looked like he'd have 4th, but he stopped getting support after page 2. Freddy's Dead.

Back to the Future
The Terminator
Groundhog Day
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure

Back to the Future is like the time travel movie. Terminator spot could also be 2. I feel like there should probably be a movie not released in the mid 80s-mid 90s time range but I have a really hard time picking anything over any of these.

Though I should probably mention here I have never seen Primer.

Man, if Thanos doesn't count somehow despite all the differences between character, motivation, scope, then I really don't get how Joker does. One's a completely different person, the other takes the darker characteristics which already existed, especially in Arkham Asylum and Midnight. The personality he acted actually existed in the comics already, whereas Thanos' personality in MCU is pretty much made up.

your ruling is objectively wrong. you used AI to rule on Groundhog Day and it's AI telling you that Ledger's Joker shares more in common with the comics than Thanos' MCU version with the comics. factually, objectively, wrong.

I didn't even vote for him, don't think he deserves it. But don't see what logic is being used to DQ him when Ledger's Joker was explicitly an example of where the line is, and Thanos is well past it. Basically fair for him to lose due to not having enough votes, not fair to DQ.
