Aziraphale and Crowley from Good Omens win our 2023 Fandom Madness tournament!

Every year, we pit dozens of characters drawn from the worlds of sci-fi, fantasy, movies, TV and books against each other in a March Madness-style tournament. It’s Fandom Madness, and it’s always unpredictable.

Last time, Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones came out on top. This year, she was knocked out of the running pretty early on, and new narratives began to take shape. On one side of the bracket, Joel from The Last of Us gained traction. On the other side, it was all about Neil Gaiman. Dream from The Sandman and Aziraphale and Crowley from Good Omens rode a wave of enthusiasm deep into the tournament.

Eventually, the final matchup came down to Joel on one side and Aziraphale and Crowley on the other. But there was no stopping this momentum. Aziraphale and Crowley cruised to a crushing victory, becoming our new champions!

Aziraphale and Crowley win Fandom Madness 2023 in a blowout

It’s always fun seeing what fandoms turn out for the tournament. I didn’t expect Neil Gaiman characters to take over so thoroughly, but it was a great time! Check out the final bracket below:

The first season of Good Omens, adapted from the book by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, told the tongue-in-cheek story of an angel and demon who team up to prevent the apocalypse, having grown fond of life on Earth after many millennia spending time there. The second season, which goes beyond the original book, is due out on Amazon Prime Video this summer.

Congratulations to Aziraphale and Crowley and to the Good Omens fans who made their victory possible!
