I apologize for missing an update. I had a very long internet outage. And... Spider-man vs. these other arachnid men is tied. Doing the standard first vote in the next day breaks the tie thing if anyone is inclined, otherwise tossing a coin. Meanwhile Saban wins over the source material. How tragic.
Bracket
FIRST BATTLE!

Remember, if you're breaking yesterday's tie, to specify that that's what you're doing, and not confuse me what with the TV sized version being on the table for today. I think I mentioned but it actually was a really influential series on a lot of things to come, particular when it comes to the giant robots that would become a real recognizable Super Sentai hallmark.

Pacific Rim (main theme) submitted by

You know what? Even after all these years, I'm still bitter as hell that we were denied a proper Pacific Rim sequel. We had a really interesting setup for one, and I'm pretty sure del Toro was keen to follow it up, but then as part of the whole mess of woes he's had, that didn't happen, and instead producers went and rushed one out that not only completely missed the point of everything, but also just really ruined the characters of the two actors they managed to get back for it. That said I still love the fashion sense of the mass robot production CEO there. Wish she was in a better movie.
NEXT BATTLE!

I kinda miss the days of big international media projects. Used to be every cartoon was a mix of American, French, and Japanese animators and it really made a nice international blend. We wouldn't have kaiju movies as we know them today if not for the international crossover that was King Kong vs. Godzilla. I guess we have Wakfu/Dofus' whole Korean/French MMO/cartoon/MMO weirdness today, but still, we need to hold hands across the oceans again as a regualr thing.
VS.
Rakuen no Door (Sukeban Deka) submitted by

Fun fact about Sukeban Deka: It's been adapted as both an anime series and this live action version, and over the live action show's run, three different girls all went to town on nazis and such with deadly yo-yos, eventually leading to a very good movie where they all teamed up together. Oh and then there was a more recent sorta rebooty movie that sucked, but still, should you ever dive in, there is so much of this series to enjoy.
Very tough matches to vote on here. I think I'm just going to vote for the two crimefighters who sling things with wrist flicks though.
This vote should end at a more usual time.
