There were some surprising upsets in the Second Round of voting. After Prince Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender was leading in the match-up against Rand al'Thor for most of the time the polls were up, The Wheel of Time fandom rallied and secured Rand a photo finish win. Dune characters have been completely eliminated from the tournament, with Aang from Avatar beating Paul Atreides. And in perhaps the biggest upset, Laszlo Cravensworth from What We Do In The Shadows bested Homelander from The Boys. Witty vampires beat out sociopathic superheroes; anything can happen!

Without further ado, let's get to the polls:

And here's our schedule for the rest of the tournament:

  • First Round: March 21-24
  • Second Round: March 25-27
  • Sweet 16: March 28-31
  • Elite Eight: April 1-3
  • Final Four: April 4-7
  • Fandom championship game: April 8

Who will win Fandom Madness 2024? It's all up to you! If you want your favorite to come out on top, feel free to tell other people in the fandom and get them on the case. It worked for Rand. It can work for anyone!
