ROUND 3: Shego VS Sancho Panza

Shego (Kim Possible)

Sancho Panza (Don Quixote)

Voting ended onMay 31, 2023

Propaganda under the cut!

Shego:

"The definitive girlboss of a generation and real powerhouse in the operation"

"She's such a good number two, that Dr Drakken doesn't bother initiating an evil plan if she isn't around to execute it. She steals or destroys things for him, proteccs him, beats up or evades the good guys. She's such a good villain that other villains break her out of prison to help them. Hidden skills include a degree in child development."

Sancho Panza:

"he follows quixote around everywhere and is super loyal to him. he feels a lot of fondness & affection for quixote. also they're foils what's not to love.

and he's the second-in-command of the protagonist of the #1 best-selling novel of all time. that has to count for something right"

ROUND 3: Kim Kitsuragi VS Kronk

Kim Kitsuragi (Disco Elysium)

Kronk (The Emperor's New Groove)

Voting ended onMay 31, 2023

Propaganda under the cut!

Kim Kitsuragi:

"Really needs no introduction, but he’s very cool, very little seems to phase him, he’s very patient with people who might not deserve it. One of the best characters in any video game. I’m counting him as second in command because Harry leads most of the detective work in the game."

"Universally beloved by the fan but is canonically a big dweeb who just likes fast cars and being a cop. Perpetually exasperated by his alcoholic amnesiac partner, who nonetheless outranks him. Secretly an incredible dancer.

Kronk:

"look at him. they guy is such a stupid himbo. And he's fluent in squirrel and can tALK TO ANIMALS!! also like. he's the origin of a lot of memes,,"

"Pull the lever, Kronk!"

ROUND 3: Luigi VS Zoe Washburne

Luigi (Mario Series)

Zoe Washburne (Firefly)

Voting ended onMay 31, 2023

Propaganda under the cut!

Luigi:

"Oh yeah, Luigi time!"

"i don't know if he really counts tbh but anyway. weegee time."

Zoe Washburne:

"Zoe is a badass that takes command of situations, well versed in battle techniques, sarcastic, witty, and not afraid to be in love while on the run."

"She fought beside Malcom Reynolds in the war of independence. Upon their loss against the Alliance, the two besties stuck together for years after, becoming outlaws to flip the bird at the solar system's new dictators. She often runs cooler than Mal, with a dry sense of humour, keeping a firmly logical presence... but she can be quite warm to the crew and her husband, Wash. She's loyal, always the person Mal falls back on, and generally she's just really dependable and kickass."

ROUND 3: Luke Triton VS Spock 

Luke Triton (Professor Layton Series)

Spock (Star Trek)

Voting ended onMay 31, 2023

Propaganda beneath the cut!

Luke Triton:

"He's fairly competent on his own but still has a lot to learn. Him and Layton also have a father/son dynamic that just warms my heart every time I see it. Not only that, but according to the new trailer Luke is now a detective himself! The student has become the master :') Oh yeah, and he can talk to animals."

Spock:

"The model first officer of Starfleet, Captain James T Kirk's right hand Vulcan/Human hybrid. A genius scientist in every possible field, a skilled ship commander and the eternal voice of logic. Available in Leonard Nimoy, Zachary Quinto or Ethan Peck varieties."

"Him and his captains devotion to each other literally started modern fandom ❤️"

"He and Kirk are space husbands"
