Fandom Madness 2023: Round 2—Vote for your favorites!
By Dan Selcke
We’re currently in the midst of Fandom Madness, our yearly tournament where we pit 64 characters from sci-fi and fantasy against each other in a winner-take-all brawl. The winners are entirely up to you and your votes!
The first round of voting is now over. There were some surprising upsets. Who expected Cocaine Bear to pull out a victory over new MCU big bad Kang the Conqueror? Good Omens stars Aziraphale and Crowley bested buzzy newcomer Wednesday Addams, the vampire Lestat sucked Harry Potter dry, and Galadriel from The Lord of the Rings narrowly beat out the Doctor from Doctor Who.
It all lays the groundwork for some interesting new matches. Which Henry Cavill performance do you like better: Superman or Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher? Who would win in a throw-down between Jon Snow and Darth Vader? Or Batman and John Wick?
As always, you can use whatever criteria you like when voting. “Who would win in a fight?” is only one option. It could be who you’d rather hang out with, who has the better hair, or just who you enjoy more as a character.
How you vote is up to you, so long as you get to voting! Check out the new matchups below:
