Ultimate Bad Guy – Top 32 Debate
Alright, we are a step closer to starting our brand new bracket battle called Ultimate Bad Guy, the second one we’ve done here, with Ultimate Bad Ass being the first. Continue →
I’ve gone through ALL your nominations and pulled out the 32 names I think are the best, and put them in a numbered list. Continue →
Ultimate Bad Guy: Let the nominations begin
If you are new to Pop Critics, you may not know about the Ultimate Bad Ass contest we held about a month ago. We nominated the top 32 people who we thought were “bad asses” and pitted them against each other March Madness style. Check it out if you want to see how it all went down. Continue →
During that contest we discovered that Benjamin Linus had somehow gotten on the list, which was fine, but he really was more of a villain than anything else. And that got us thinking about bad guys. Continue →
Ultimate Bad Ass: The Winner
A simple contest that was begotten from a Friday Question we posted, which turned into a discussion about who was more of a stud, Jack Bauer or Chuck Norris, and that became what we know today as Ultimate Bad Ass. Continue →
The most hilarious thing is that here at the very end, neither Jack nor Chuck made it into the final round. At least we can thank them for inspiring the beginning of this thing. Continue →
Ultimate Bad Ass: The Championship Round
It’s finally here. The Championship Round of Ultimate Bad Ass. Continue →
We’ve gone through a lot of interesting matchups and while I knew Jason Bourne would be here at the very end, I couldn’t predict John McClane would end up as his opponent. Continue →
Most of that is due to the fact that seeding Jack Bauer in the same bracket as Jason Bourne basically eliminated that potential matchup where it maybe should have been, but regardless, the Bourne versus McClane battle should be great. Continue →
Ultimate Bad Ass: Semifinals Game 2
Our combatants are getting tired by now as we near the end. Even the mighty Jack Bauer seems to be stumbling down the stretch. Now we get a matchup of a kind we haven’t had yet thus far in Ultimate Bad Ass:
Man versus Woman.
Yikes. Will our action hero guy take it seriously? Or will he [...] Continue →
Ultimate Bad Ass: Semifinals Game 1
Well, we’re down to the Final Four contestants in Ultimate Bad Ass. Continue →
It’s been a long road, but a satisfying one. I think at this point the only major surprise is that Chuck Norris failed to make it far, and that Ripley was eliminated early as well. Continue →
Now it’s time for Game 1 of the Semifinals, which perhaps could be the championship game itself, but we’ll wait and see how things play out. Continue →
Ultimate Bad Ass: Quarterfinals – John McClane bracket
So we’re down to our last matchup for the Quarterfinals of Ultimate Bad Ass. It’s been…interesting, but so far the races haven’t been as close as a few were last round.
This time we’re looking at the John McClane bracket. Luckily for the Die Hard action star, he made it through to the Semifinals, unlike fellow [...] Continue →
Ultimate Bad Ass: Quarterfinals – Women's Bracket
We almost had another crisis on our hands with the Women’s Bracket in our Ultimate Bad Ass contest. It seems the girls are a lot tougher than the guys and their duels go down to the friggin’ wire. Continue →
With the voting ending at 7:30pm last night, I noticed at 5:00pm that both matchups were tied 9-9. After 5 days. Amazing. Continue →
Ultimate Bad Ass: Quarterfinals – Chuck Norris bracket
Let the embarrassment sink in Chuck…it’s going to be awhile before you brush this off.
Last week in Round 2 of Ultimate Bad Ass, the Chuck Norris bracket featured Norris against Han Solo, while Jason Bourne took on John Rambo.
Bourne easily dispatched the older, slower Rambo with a 17-8 margin of victory, but the second matchup [...] Continue →
Ultimate Bad Ass: Quarterfinals – Jack Bauer Bracket
While Jack Bauer skated by with a 25-8 victory over Dirty Harry, the second matchup from last week’s Jack Bauer Bracket was a heck of a lot closer and came down to a single vote. Continue →
