Sam had to join the quest because he beginning of FOTR clearly shows he's a Peeping Tom.

The only answer is Atticus Finch.

The first name that entered my mind when I read the thread title. I was so shocked that he even made the list that I missed Dr. Jones (or at least that is my excuse).

Anybody that voted from Frodo over Sam is 10000% wrong.

That I agree with.


So you are wrong. I don't do these things right.

This just seems like a no brainer to me.

Sam's "that guy" that drags your ass, passed out halfway on the sidewalk, halfway in the street, back in the yard. And then you get up the next day and tell him you're so sorry then later that night wreck his truck. And for some pathetic reason, Sam just keeps bailing your ass out. Even makes you stew now and then.

The world needs more Sams.

The first round is in the books. The top 5 vote getters were Spider-Man, Thor, James Bond, Gandalf, and Indiana Jones.

Rocky Balboa knocked out Atticus Finch 60.8% to 39.2
Indiana Jones took out Ethan Hunt 89% to 11%
Davey Crockett proved history > fiction in defeating Benjamin Martin 74.3% to 25.7%
Dirty Harry didn't care for Jefferson Smith at all, defeating the good Senator 72.2% to 27.8%

Josey Wales eliminated the Preacher 72.2% to 27.8%
William Munny outdid Ethan Edwards 54.4% to 45.6%
Wyatt Earp was far more mean than Tom Doniphon, 87.5% to 12.5%
Rooster Cogburn 54.2% to the Man With No Name 45.8% - perhaps the name really did matter?

In something of a surprise, Rey lost a decent lead against Anakin Skywalker and these two ended up in a dead tie, 50% each
Obi-Wan Kenobi apparently withheld some lessons from his student Luke Skywalker and beat Luke 63.5% to 36.5%
Not surprisingly, Han Solo bested the alien killer Ellen Ripley, 84.9% to 15.1%

Bilbo Baggins beat Boromir 54.3% to 45.7%
Samwise Gamgee 71.8%, Frodo Baggins 28.2% ... some friend you are, Sam
Gandalf blasted Gimli 90.3% to 9.7%
Aragorn 81.4% to Legolas' 18.6%

The weakest Avenger, Clint Barton, took out Elastigirl 68.1% to 31.9%
Tony Stark bested Bruce Banner 80.6% to 19.4%. So much for the strongest Avenger.
Thor, the mightiest Avenger, proved it in beating Aquaman 91.7% to 8.3%
Bruce Wayne beat the Wolverine 67.6% to 32.4%

Spider-Man 93.1% to Captain Marvel 6.9%. Nope, not gonna call Spider-Man the mightiest Avenger.
Wonder Woman beat Black Panther 79.5% to 20.5%
Superman 61.6% to Mr. Incredible's 38.4%
Captain America 83.8% to Black Widow's 16.2%. Yeah, America!

James Bond 90.5% and Jack Travern 9.5%
John McClane's witty one-liners were more than enough to beat down the guy who is too old for this, Roger Murtaugh, 83.6% to 16.4%
In our second closest battle, the Terminator finally terminated Jason Bourne, 51.4% to 48.6%
Martin Riggs proved psychotic enough to overcome the muscled Cimerian (sp?) 54.2% to 45.8%

I was hoping for more with Philo Beddoe, in one of the funniest movies I've ever seen that was not necessarily a comedy, but John Rambo knows how to take out the opposition 87.5% to 12.5%
General Maximus and his mis-spelled name Maximum didn't give a crap who Jack Burton was, 69.4% to 40.6%
Dutch must have looked at John Wick's dog wrong - John Wick 73.9% to 26.1%
Neo beat Snake Plissken 58.6% to 41.4%. When asked after the defeat, Snake is quoted as saying "I don't give a ****."

So we have a tie that needs breaking. I did not vote in this, so I could cast the deciding vote there. Or should I run a poll just for that match-up (Rey Palpatine Skywalker vs Anakin Skywalker) to break the tie?

Davey Crockett vs Dirty Harry

DAVY Crockett didn't die at the Alamo after killing 2,000 Mexicans with his bare hands while simultaneously playing the fiddle and curing Jim Bowie's syphilis with his own Bowie knife so you could disrespect him by spelling his name wrong.
