Villain Bracket Fourth Round Breakdown

Please note, the names in italics are the movie/comic/cartoon/game that the villain appears.

Comic Book Region:

Galactus Fantastic Four (5) vs.

 Joker Batman (2) –

Matt- Galactus just barely got by Loki but he won’t make it past Joker.  If this was just about who would win in a fight, the trophy would have been awarded to Galactus three weeks ago.  This is about who is the most evil, the worst villain out there.  The fact that the Joker is so damn nuts makes him the perfect candidate to advance from the comic book region.

Nik- Agreed. I’m pleasantly surprised to see Galactus having made it this far. But I do believe it to be the end of the line for the big planet-eating cuddle bug. The Joker is just too cool, and as Matt said, too evil, to not keep up his momentum.

Cartoon Region:

Megatron Transformers (1) v. 

Shredder Teenage Mutant Ninja

Turtles (3) –

Matt- Megatron squeaked by last round, almost succumbing to the might of Mumm-Ra.  Shredder proved he was the baddest mofo (yup, I just said mofo) in the Turtles universe, and now he takes down his 80’s counterpart.

Nik- Again, gonna have to agree here. There is too much nostalgia for the Turtles and Shredder here. I know the same generation that had Turtles had Transformers too, but I just think that Shredder had more of a role. I think we like the Turtles (and therefore their villains) more because they were more relatable in some bizarre way (i.e. not robots).

Movie Region:

Darth Vader Star Wars (1) v. 

Predator Predator (2)–

Matt-  By the narrowest of margins the Predator squeaked by the Xenomorph last round.  Alas his luck has run out and Vader Imperial Marches all the way into the final four.

Nik- So sad to see the Xenomorph taken down here. But, as every crummy Aliens vs. Predator movie has taught us, the one human survives to tell the story. In this case, Anakin Skywalker just so happens to be that person. But he’ll definitely put up one kick-ass fight.

Video Game Region:

Bowser Super Mario Brothers (1) v. 

Ganon Legend of Zelda (2) –

Matt- Bowser is awesome, but it has to be Ganon here, right?  At least Ganon has mixed up his evil plans over the years while Bowser is still capturing the damn princess.  Koopa’s reign is over.

Nik- I hate to do it, but I agree with Matt on this whole lineup. Yes, Bowser is one of the original baddies. He’s incompetent, a single dad, and never gives up, no matter how many times those little Italian stereotypes thwart his plans. He should have his own sitcom! That being said: you all know that I will go with Ganon to the end. Too cool not to win it.
