Final notes...

everyone, thank you so much! when I started this poll I wanted to celebrate one character, but I've had such a good time beyond that - hearing about your passion for different characters, learning different words for ladybugs, paying homage to gay awakenings, hearing some awesome music, getting to experience incredible character designs, connecting with my mutuals on main, and discovering that sometimes two guys are really just one guy. it's up in the air whether I do another one of these poll trounaments due to the time investment (if so, it'll be on this same blog so you'll all know), but if I do I sincerely hope my experience will be as good there as it was here. thank you so much, you all rock! ♥🖤🎃🏮🐞👿😈🐱‍👤🧛‍♀️

MILES MORALES has vanquished his foe in the field of battle and is now a FINALST!!!

Congratulations to Zagreus for a good run!

Semifinals: Match 2

Miles Morales/Spiderman (Marvel comics) vs. Zagreus (Hades by Supergiant)

Miles Morales

- The mans needs no introduction - the coolest spiderman

Zagreus

- i have a spreadsheet with which i grade my favorite characters based on a set of criteria that they all tend to share, the first two categories being “Red” and “Black.” out of 50+ characters zagreus is #1 with a score of 940, which is clear of the runner up by over 150 points. i won’t claim to be some kind of arbiter of truth about red and black characters, but actually that’s exactly what i’m going to do. if shadow the hedgehog doesn’t win then zagreus will.
