3rd place?

Horrible/Walter (16-8)
Tony/WALL-E (13-12)

After a competition of mostly shutouts, the last handful of matches have featured so many neck-and-neck back-and-forth battles that part of me thinks there's a solid 6 or so characters who, on a luckier day, could've made this finals match. It's been exciting!

Good finals. Breaking Bad wasn't for me but I can recognize how good it is.

I have no real love for Walt but this is basically the most fitting final you could have had.

I'm going to give it to Walt. Tony doesn't get to the hall of fame class until much later on in the MCU.

If it makes any difference this contest counts all future appearances of the character too.

True, though I think I'm also of the opinion that Walt is great from the get-go, and only improves as the show goes on, whereas Tony was mostly fine in the beginning, and becomes great by the time Endgame hits. Not necessarily the reason I think I prefer Walt of the two, but it doesn't hurt.

This is about as big of a finals as I could've hoped for, though I wouldn't have really complained if any of Joker/Dr. Horrible/Eli/WALL-E/Jesse had managed to grab a spot here. White vs Pinkman could've been fun (though it'd likely be an easy win for the former), Joker v Iron Man would've essentially pitted the MCU against the Nolan Batman films, and Dr. Horrible v Eli would've been a great underdog battle

One of the best TV shows vs. the best MCU film!

Great, but expected, finals!

I think RDJ pretty much nailed Tony from the beginning personally; while there were certainly good to great superhero portrayals before Iron Man, I think it was a whole new level at the time, where you just couldn't separate the actor and character without ruining everything else in the film. Although I will say the identity of "Iron Man" was definitely utilized better as the MCU went along.

Even as Tony got more likeable over the course of the MCU, he was always at least a little bit grating to me honestly.

Would have been cool with him going up against Ironman, Joker, or Jesse. And actually Wall*E is also great. What a strong year!

I guess that's more of what I mean. Like he definitely did great portraying the character right off the bat, but I think that didn't mean as much to me until later films

I might also be biased because I've always been a huge X-Men fanboy and that series was still in good standing by this time

Wish I had remembered to vote in a few previous matches, even though there's tons of characters I don't know in this bracket.
