Here it is...the final battle...
Having started with 64 of the finest superhero actors to have graced the small screen, we have gradually whittled that number down, round by round, in order to reach this point: our Grand Final.
Now it is over to you to determine which of these actors is our forum's favourite. Just like previous tournaments, to ensure as much involvement as possible, in this final we will have a 24 hour time limit for receiving votes. Simply put, the superhero actor with the most votes by this time tomorrow will take the glory.
(Note - as usual, in the event it's a tie after the time limit expires then I will do a Ceann Comhairle job and cast a vote to break the deadlock.)
So then, let us take a closer look at our two TV actors...Grant Gustin (The Flash)
Path to the Final
Rd 1 - Defeated David Jason
Rd 2 - Defeated Lou Ferrigno
Rd of 16 - Defeated John Wesley Shipp
Q-Finals - Defeated Clark Gregg
S-Finals - Defeated Ming-Na Wen
VS
Charlie Cox (Daredevil)
Path to the Final
Rd 1 - Defeated Ardal O'Hanlon
Rd 2 - Defeated Lee Majors
Rd of 16 - Defeated Adam West
Q-Finals - Defeated Jon Bernthal
S-Finals - Defeated Hayley Atwell
It's Grant Gustin, who stars in the title role of The Flash, versus Charlie Cox, who stars in the title role of Daredevil.
Two actors who have gained their respective shows a huge following due to their performances, but only one can be our winner. In this DC vs Marvel showdown, which one will have your support?
Cast your vote now within 24 hours of our final deadline which I am going to set officially as Monday, August 8th, 11:00 p.m. The actor with the most votes when the time limit expires shall be our champion.
So folks, for the final time, I ask you: cast your votes now!'It is better to walk alone in the right direction than follow the herd walking in the wrong direction.'

Well folks, it is now time to reveal the winner of our Best Superhero TV Actor tournament which began with 64 of the small screen's most notable talent and which was gradually whittled down to just two names: Grant Gustin and Charlie Cox.
Your votes have been cast and I can now confirm that the winner of our Grand Final is...

.Grant Gustin!
Yes it is the star of The Flash who gets the glory and who prevails in the Marvel vs DC showdown.
In the early stages it looked like it could be a rout as Gustin raced into a 3-0 lead; that was pegged back to 3-1 as Cox got on the board but then Gustin got another vote as it became 4-1. Then, however, a Cox fightback started as 4-1 became 4-2 and then 4-3.
Gustin's supporters would bring some breathing space to make it 5-3 but Cox's fans would respond and make it 5-4. The tie was finely poised now but Gustin's following were there for him again: 6-4 the new score. But Cox's fans hadn't deserted their choice: 6-5 now. The next vote would prove crucial...and it would go Gustin's way.
7-5 to Grant Gustin it would finish. Gustin just had that bit more support needed to see it home.
Had I been called on to give a vote in the event of a tie, I would have cast my vote for Gustin. While I like both actors, I feel Gustin brings a great deal of warmth to his role that I haven't seen too many superhero actors be able to pull off.
That then concludes this tournament and I enjoyed watching this one unfold and thought we got some interesting debates going, plus we had some very close ties especially near the end. Thanks once again to everyone for participating.
What's next?
This tournament will be my last one of these for a while as I don't think I'll be able to commit to it properly right now.
If others on the forum wish to take on the mantle they are welcome to give it a go. Some possible options for future games could be:
'Best Overall Superhero Actor' - combine the names from the Film and TV Actors tournament to determine the best overall one.
'Best Superhero Theme song' - self-explanatory.
'Best Superhero Game' - unsure if you'd get 64 options here but it might work on a smaller scale.
I'm sure there are a good few more ideas that can be tried which I haven't thought of.
The way I've tended to work the format of these has been:Rd 1 - 32 ties total - 3 votes needed to advance
Rd 2 - 16 ties total - 3 votes needed to advance
Rd of 16 - 8 ties total - 4 votes needed to advance
Q-Finals - 4 ties total - 4 votes needed to advance
S-Finals - 2 ties total - 5 votes needed to advance
Final - 1 match - 24 hour timeline with the winner having most votes
Of course other methods could be tried.
I'll still be visiting and might even try participating in any new games. :cool:
Cheers folks.'It is better to walk alone in the right direction than follow the herd walking in the wrong direction.'
