March Madness – To most of us here at FTS, we don’t care a whole lot about basketball. What we do care about, of course, is movies! So with inspiration from Dylan of Man, I Love FIlms, formally from Blog Cabins, we decided to make our very own bracket tournament (much like the ladies of the 80’s and 90’s tournaments that Dylan ran perviously.) Our bracket? The Ultimate Movie Character Badass Tournament! See how it works after the break!

Ok so here’s how the bracket breaks down. The FTS team assembled a list of 32 of biggest badasses in film and then filled them into a single elimination tournament bracket. Every day a new matchup of badass movie characters will be posted with a poll attached for everyone to vote on. Then the winners will continue onward in the bracket (you can see/follow the bracket here.) Each badass will be listed with their strengths and weaknesses, including possible weapons at their disposable. The criteria for voting should be WHO WOULD WIN IN A FIGHT? Because we didn’t want to have certain badasses sweep the tourney, we didn’t include superheros that weren’t human (like Thor for example) but only those that had flaws and vulnerabilities.

So take a look at our full list below and get a whiff at what’s to come in the weeks ahead. Then check back here daily to vote on the new match ups.
