CUTTING ROOM THROWDOWN - SEMIFINAL A

Propaganda below:

Kotora/Raitora propaganda:

to this day we still don't really have a proper quadrupedal tiger pokemon. pretty much every pokemon is either anthropomorphic (like incineroar) or a hybrid with another type of cat. also they're so round.. just look at them. and the worst part is. they were cut TWICE.. they were most famously cut from gold and silver when the spaceworld demo leaked several years back, but a somewhat more recent leak shows that they were planned for red and green too, at some point. since then, this evolutionary line has never come back, and with the shinx line filling the "electric type feline" niche, i fear we will never see them make an official debut…

Wapeach propaganda:

She's cute

She is SO. CUTE. As soon as her concept art dropped people were scrambling to draw fanart and she's gotten so many cute pieces despite never debuting. Truly beloved character. Also Wapeach has been something fans were speculating about for years before this, so finally seeing her made a huge impact. I love you, apricot! (<- fan name)

Got any favorite/amusing submissions so far?

I think the one that caught me most off guard is the Zeus LEGO minifigure. Other than that, they've mostly been stuff I expected or stuff I'm not familiar with.

Thanks for asking!

[its-to-the-death]

Submissions are open !!

(PT: Submissions are open !! /End PT)

Rules are in the form, however, some clarification:

If a character has had multiple iterations, such as different versions in different games, or has been played by several different actors, please clarify, otherwise I will, by default, go based off of the image submitted.

I will cut the responses off when I feel like there is a number that I can work with for preliminaries. I will decide this number once I see how many responses there are.

Characters who made it to round 3 last time cannot be re-submitted.

I am allowed to exclude characters and/or parts of propaganda that I am uncomfortable with (however, I will try to edit the wording of propaganda as a first resort, before cutting it out)

Additional propaganda can be submitted through asks throughout the tournament.

[its-to-the-death]

SMT and Persona are weird when it comes to whether or not they're the real deal. the simplest exclusions you can make are any character specific personas as they are manifestations of that characters psyche, beyond that it's up for interpretation

I'm not to sweat allowing them in too much

[its-to-the-death]

Well, this doesn't tell me anything. Based on the one comment I got, I will give the benefit of the doubt and allow it.

Okay, question time. So, I just got a bunch of submissions for the Megami Tensei/Persona series and since I'm not familiar with the media, I'm wondering if these are supposed to be versions of the gods or characters that just reference them.

PROPAGANDA

Jumba Jookiba

He's a evil genius. He was arrested for illegal genetic experimention. He's a gay uncle. He's great

He's a chunky alien mad scientist who wears Hawaiian shirts. I'm sorry to say but that's my gender.

Heinz Doofenshmirtz:

You see Perry the Platypus when I was a young lad back in Gimmelshtomp they used to have annual Mad Science competitions. I had entered that contest every year and yet my various -inators were all overshadowed by GARY with his evil baking soda volcano! And so now I have created the EvilBakingSoda-Inator which will turn the whole Tri-State Area into a baking soda volcano! And Gary will cry because he could never make such a good evil baking soda volcano as I!!!!

THE mad scientist

He's the very definition of mad! His inators are bat shit crazy ideas that no one needs, most of the "problems" he's trying to solve aren't problems and could certainly be handled without spending millions on a machine that doesn't even work. Yet he keeps trying to take over the Tri-State Area.

His parents never showed up to his own birth…he was raised by ocelots…he was forced to stand still and be a lawn gnome for years….😭😭😭 Also he can be read as transmasc YAY

Doofenshmirtz evil incorporated, propaganda. He was a garden gnome for a time, his parents didn’t show up for his birth, he’s a great dad, his best friend was a balloon, his new best friend and low key boyfriend is a teal platypus in a fedora, he’s legally an ocelot, he blows up everything he makes.

Okay, question time. So, I just got a bunch of submissions for the Megami Tensei/Persona series and since I'm not familiar with the media, I'm wondering if these are supposed to be versions of the gods or characters that just reference them.

[its-to-the-death]

This might be a weird ask, but in the Greek Gods media poll what is the range allowed? Are Titans/pre-Olympian deities included?

I usually consider someone a god if they have a domain. Like, Chronos is god of time even though he’s a Titan so I’d count that.

[its-to-the-death]

Are versons of hercules eligible for the God Games? He's most famous as a Demigod but he does become a full god at the end of his legend

I'm going to say no since he's most known for being a demigod

[its-to-the-death]

Does it count if the character is Very Strongly hinted to be a particular greek god (has the god's attributes and field of expertise and companions) and has the name of the god, but canon was never clear on whether it really was the actual god or just references to the god?

Submit it anyways and I’ll take a closer look!

Greek God Games Submissions

Hello and welcome! For this tournament we will be competing different iterations of Greek gods in media and seeing how these interpretations stack up against each other.

Submission rules

Must be a god: I'm not accepting other figures in Greek mythology for this tournament. Even if they have some divinity in them, I won't take them unless they're a god.

I will also not be accepting "real life Greek mythology" as a media: I think putting the source material in against the spin offs would be unbalanced.

Please don't submit individual artist interpretations: This is mostly keeping something like Epic in mind where people have different preferences for how different artists draw the characters. The overarching media is still Epic. (This may apply to other things too)

Your character has to be a version of the god, not just referencing them.

No OCs please

Nothing NSFW

Only one character per submission but you can submit as many characters as you want

Don't spam one character repeatedly

I base the size of the bracket on how many submissions I get so don't be afraid to submit a lot!

Submissions will close on Saturday, July 5 at 12:00 AM EST (midnight). Have fun!

Fourth Wall Fight Winners

And that concludes our tournament! The finale was very close, but now for our winners...

In third place... The Narrator from The Stanley Parable!

In second place... Mother from Shoot From the Hip's The Leftenmost Window!

And in first place...

Bugs Bunny from Looney Tunes!

Bugs, icon and ruler of our fourth wall breakers stands at the top of the podium. It was a very close match. I give my respect to the Shoot From the Hip fans because you guys fought hard and were in the lead for a little bit there.

This has been a really fun tournament! I liked running a more lowkey one this time around. Submissions for our next competition will be out soon! I'll see you there!

[its-to-the-death]

Do you think you'll ever do this again? I recently discovered a character that I think would have been perfect for this tournament but didn't get submitted.

I always have an option to return to a previous tournament when deciding what to run next. As of now it has never been chosen, but it’s always a possibility! Maybe one day I’ll make all the options sequels.

Fourth Wall Fight Finals

Bugs Bunny (Looney Tunes) vs Mother (Shoot From the Hip - The Leftenmost Window)

Propaganda for each character below the cut! May include spoilers

Bugs Bunny

He outright addresses the audience once every appearance, looking at them, winking, and even outright calling them out. My favorite example being looking at the audience and asking them "what did you expect? A happy ending?" at the end of What's Opera Doc.

Mother

From video clip (starting at 5:19) until 6:25. It’s just such an iconic scene

MOTHER she literally walks into the audience

Obviously mother, I mean, she didn't just break the fourth wall, she went FULLY through it.

[its-to-the-death]

A vote for Bugs is a vote for Drag solidarity!!!!
