    Deadpool

    It's two films which proved a lot more successful than initially expected, as 2014's Guardians of the Galaxy goes up against 2016's Deadpool.

    Which film should reach the quarter-finals? First to 4 votes advances.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    This will probably be the toughest choice of the tournament for me. Two landmark Superhero films that proved there is still a lot of life in the genre.

    I'm leaning more towards Star-Lord and his band of misfits though, so gonna go with Guardians of the Galaxy.

    What a dramatic tie that was. Deadpool raced into a 3-1 lead, but it was soon all square at 3-3, only for Deadpool to then edge over the line to reach the quarter-finals.

    We are halfway through the round now as we come to our next tie which is another Marvel meeting...




    The Avengers

    Captain America: Civil War takes the final spot and brings us to the end of the round.

    Things certainly picked up there in the final few ties with some very close matches and that suggests we could be in for an exciting quarter-final round.

    I won't be posting up the quarter-final tomorrow because it's actually my 30th birthday (am I the old guy on the forum now?) but I hope to have it up on Sunday evening about 8pm or so. Hope to see you then. :cool:

    Happy Birthday Mr.Nice Guy have a great one.

    Your still a kid to me :p

    I'd hope you're not the old guy on the forum now, as I'm only a few months off 30 myself and I'm still one of the young ones... I hope... ;)

    I wish I could remember my 30th. I'd even settle for my 40th tbh. But seeing as I'm not a forum regular, yes, you probably are the old guy here. :P
