Greatest Sci-fi/Fantasy Hero Tournament

[RealmOfX]

Rogue (X-Men)

[Frinky]

Lt. Felix Gaeta (BSG)

[L-JADE]

Starbuck (Kara Thrace)

[Jedi_Master_Bra'tac]

18. Harry Potter (Harry Potter) - Very long odds; he's current and popular, but not very heroic.

He is, they are a number of times he's risked it all to save someone

sorry if the spellings wrong

[Callista]

I have a question. When dealing with the Battlestar Gallactica crew, are we automatically assuming the current series? I've only seen the current one once, but I used to watch the original series all the time when I was a kid. I'm planning on voting assuming the old guys (Dirk Benedict, Richard Hatch, Boomer was a guy....) unless you want to specify that it's the new incarnation.

True. Maybe I just haven't forgiven him for being such a useless gimbert in Order of the Phoenix yet.

Yeah, If he hadn't been so rash Sirious may still be here

Unless specified, take it as whichever you want, for instance, Starbuck was voted in as Kara Thrace, and not the original, but Apollo could refer to either the original or the current, so I took it as being both.

MY VOTES

Dana Scully (X-Files) - Not really heroic, just doing a job
Fox Mulder (X-Files) - Same, only with added conspiracy nut
Harry Potter (Harry Potter) - Don't even get me started*
Marty Mcfly (Back to the Future) - Not much of a hero IMO
Sam Beckett (Quantum Leap) - Just trying to get home
Turanga Leela (Futurama) - Same as Scully


* the books are good, but Harry is only a hero by Zoe's definition "someone who gets other people killed" never takes responsibility, and only does things when its of some benefit to him, or if it settles one of his grudges, he's the annoying kid in school who gets all the attention and praise for being a wonder child when they don't deserve it... aka me

[TheWarrior]

Round One:

Inigo Montoya
Ker Avon
Kosh Naranek
Major Kira
O'Brien
Vincent

[Jedi_Master_Bra'tac]

My Votes
Sam Beckett- Never watched Quantum Leap but I have a friend named Sam Beckett who can be quite annoying at times.
The Doctor- Not watched many episodes but I find him over confident and annoying
Xmen
Superman
Batman
Spiderman

[Mr Prophet]

Round 1

Anakin Skywalker - A man who never did anything for any cause but his own gratification is no hero, nor even an antihero. He's not even properly tragic, because his fall results not from an inevitable flaw but from a series of transparently rotten descriptions.
Buck Rogers - Jumpsuits. I know it's shallow, but there it is. That and Gil Gerard's 'reinventing rock'n'roll' dance routine haunts me more than just about anything, bar the credits of the pilot movie.
Harry Potter - Like Anakin, there's a selfishness to Harry. It's more forgiveable because he's actually a modern teenagers instead of just acting like one, but I don't rate him as a great hero, although he might make the grade for book 7.
The Crew of the Battlestar Galactica - Good at their jobs does not heroes make. A number of the individual crew members will likely follow this nomination in short order, because BSG is simply not heroic science fiction.
Vincent - I know it was because the first actress left the series, but you don't get beast-props if your beauties are plural. Angel take note.
Yoda - Mentor, sage, bad mother(shutyourmouth). Not a hero, however, largely because he is always a mentor.

Favorites

Buffy Summers
Hoban "Wash" Washburne
John Crichton
Kaylee Frye
Malcolm Reynolds
River Tam - Almost reminds me of a SPARTAN II supersoldier from Halo, with added psychosis and mental instability. She may be a programmed human weapon, but she loves her brother and is doing good and saving lives
Simon Tam
The Doctor
Zoe Washburne

[kmiller1610]

Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars) Just a flawed person with great gifts
Jayne Cobb (Firefly) A mercenary with misgivings
The crew of the Battlestar Galactica (Battlestar Galactica)
Turanga Leela (Futurama)
V (V for Vendetta) (revenge man .......)
Vincent (Beauty and the Beast)


Ptah, how did you manage to end one tournament and start another on the same day? Amazing .......
