Since we might not get this showdown... what is more awesome?

Ride of the Rohirrim may be my favorite scene ever. It's also why I put RotK over FotR.

While the speech and Ride are badass, there is just something that is special about Gandalf saying to Eomer
"Theoden, King, stands alone"
and the next 20 seconds

TO THE KIIIIING

I didn't want to make the other post to jumbled, but something I really liked that Jackson did.

He had a prior scene where Faramir and others falterd under the flight of arrows. Then in this charge the big ugly is smiling confidently as he orders the first flight, then orders a second flight. Suddenly they are all starting to panic and backpedal as they realize it isn't stopping the charge from slamming home.
It was impressive what facial emotions they were able to depict on those orcs and goblins and whatever else was there.

Neither, but only because I'm not into Sci-Fi and I've never seen a Marvel movie

What are you into?

Girls?

What do you mean you're resigning as Emperor to take a job teaching magic?

He is 100% taking the Defense Against the Dark Arts position..which you know is open.

I know this is kinda like the reverse of me joking with you about never seeing Top Gun.

None of the comic book movies do anything for me, just never been into them. SciFi I guess it'd depend on what we are categorizing there.

The round-robins are turning out well and I"m pleased I can logically re-seed for the final four to presumably make the semifinal matchups as fair as possible.

Definitely seems like we're shaping up for an epic finale showdown.

I think Marvel moments will be next, Disney+ finally got Infinity War away from Netflix yesterday, feels like a sign.

No idea how big to make that field. 512? 1024?

"On Your Left". #1 seed

LOL

I wonder which movie will have the most. I can think of about 6 from Endgame that should be on there.

I saw Iron Man and liked it. Saw Iron Man 2 and thought it was just ok. Never had the desire to see any of the other Marvel movies. I'm also a biased fan because Batman has always been my favorite superhero, so I'm more into that universe than Marvel.

I think why I liked Batman and Iron Man is that they were more or less closer to real people.

You should give it a try. Watch Cap Am. If you don't like it, then give it up.

Thanks for the input y'all. I just really don't get much out of the superheroes like Superman and Spider Man, etc.

Like y'all said, the more regular guys type heroes sound more interesting, I'll give it a shot. I think I saw Iron Man 3 as well now that I think about it.

What do I watch next?

Good deal, thanks. I liked playing as Captain America on some old arcade game. Anyone know which one I'm talking about? May also have been a Nintendo game, I can't remember.

Good call, both good movies and Winter Soldier is just fantastic.

On the game, maybe Marvel vs Capcom?

Definitely sounds like Marvel vs Capcom. Played the **** outta that at the arcade during high school.

Marvel vs. Capcom seems right.

My favorite thing about Winter Soldier is how good they fool the audience with the title and the previews. It set up like just another "there's a bad guy, hero stops him" like cap 1 and the first 2 iron men and Thor and Hulk; suddenly much more complex issues; the enemy within; getting one of the greatest actors of his generation to be a bad guy in a comic book movie, etc.

Which made it the first true genre film in the MCU and opened the door for a run of really great movies. Still my favorite MCU film.

I'd like some input on how many seeds to make the Marvel best moments tournament, because it's already spiraling out of control. Traditional 64? 96 like this last one? Thanks in advance

The board is set. The pieces are moving. We come to it at last. The great battle of our time.
