Which song fucks you up more?

Jungleland

Traveller's Oncore

Voting ended onSep 27, 2024

Jungleland (Bruce Springsteen)

Outside the street's on fire in a real death waltz/Between what's flesh and what's fantasy/And the poets down here don't write nothing at all They just stand back and let it all be/And in the quick of a knife, they reach for their moment and try to make an honest stand/But they wind up wounded, not even dead/Tonight in Jungleland

"Oh man. I was introduced to this song as “the greatest song ever made” as a kid. Jesus, it really might be, at least it’s definitely up there. It’s about a piece of shit guy who lives like a piece of shit and dies like a piece of shit while a crazy world goes on around him just out of his reach. It’s so amazing, you need to listen to the whole thing front to back, the violins in the middle really fuck me up good. If you don’t expect an orchestral rock opera song from Bruce Springsteen (early in his catalog too) then you need to listen to more Springsteen. I love this whole album, and this is the ultimate closing track."

Traveller's Oncore (Outer Wilds)

Listen. The entire game comes to this moment. And you hear Travellers. But then you play the DLC, and when you get to the end…it changes you. You know that at the end of it all your friends are there. And it’s the universe loving you back. (If I say any more it’ll defo be spoilers for outerwilds and you Have to go into that game blind.)

Super Mario Bracket: FINAL ROUND

"You're about to have a really terrible experience!"

Vivian

SEED: 1 (215 nominations)

PREVIOUS OPPONENT: Daisy

SPECIES: Shadow

DEBUT: The Thousand-Year Door

BIO: Vivian is one of the main characters of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door for the GameCube and its 2024 remake for the Switch. while she is introduced as an antagonist along with her sisters, she later joins Mario, at a time when all of Mario's friends have abandoned him.

Vivian's arc is one of the most memorable parts of one of the most critically acclaimed games in the greater Super Mario franchise. the 2024 remake of The Thousand-Year Door was specifically praised by critics and fans alike for making Vivian's transgender identity textually explicit in the English-language release, which had been censored in the original 2004 localization.

in the Super Mario Bracket, Vivian has consistently been one of the strongest competitors, from before the bracket even began. in the preliminaries, she received over twice as many nominations as the second most nominated character, Luigi. she has yet to finish a match with anything less than 70% of the vote, as can be seen in her previous matches against Dribble & Spitz, Goomba, Kamek, Count Bleck, Big Bertha, and Daisy.

[Super Mario Wiki article]

"I'm The Old Psychic Lady with the Evil Eye Who Reads Fortunes and Knows Everything Before It Happens."

The Old Psychic Lady with the Evil Eye Who Reads Fortunes and Knows Everything Before It Happens

SEED: 38 (17 nominations)

PREVIOUS OPPONENT: Luigi

SPECIES: Human

DEBUT: The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!

BIO: The Old Psychic Lady with the Evil Eye Who Reads Fortunes and Knows Everything Before It Happens is a character from the live-action segment "The Great Hereafter" from The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!. she is a spirit medium who brings Mario and Luigi into contact with the ghost of their deceased grandmother.

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! is, among English-speaking Mario fans, one of the most well-known of the Super Mario franchise's non-video game works. its live action half-episodes were either paired with animated Super Show! episodes, or (as is the case for "The Great Hereafter") with episodes of the Legend of Zelda animated series.

The Old Psychic Lady with the Evil Eye Who Reads Fortunes and Knows Everything Before It Happens is introduced after Mario suggests to Luigi that they should talk to "the old lady with the evil eye that she could tell fortunes and she could tell things before they happen", just before the woman in question rings the doorbell and says her full title out loud.

in the Super Mario Bracket, The Old Psychic Lady with the Evil Eye Who Reads Fortunes and Knows Everything Before It Happens has gained a notable dedicated following, winning new fans over almost entirely from her name alone. her pure appeal has led her to win against Ms. Mowz, Funky Kong, Yoshi, Elvira, Rosalina, and Luigi: a remarkable achievement.

HAVE A CHARACTER WITH A BOWLCUT? COME WATCH THEIR ASS GET BEAT!!!!!

this is a tournament about characters with bowlcuts!

submissions will likely end September 1st. it would be great if you rb'd this so i could get submissions!! also the date may extend if something is an issue <3

HERE IS THE LINK TO THE SUBMISSION FORM

form for if you'd like to be tagged every round

characters that have bowlcuts for specific scenes/time periods are allowed (examples: a character who has a bowlcut for a comedic scene. a character that only has a bowlcut in one of their comic runs and none of their other ones. a character who has a bowlcut for one movie/episode/season and it changes. etc.)

characters who are only described to have a bowlcut are allowed (book/podcast/a media without image or video) but you have to send proof (a quote) before i'll include them

if i, the mod, ever think a haircut is not a bowlcut i will post a poll before the tournament asking if it's a bowlcut

i will not accept characters from harry potter, south park, or hetalia. this list may change but those medias make me uncomfortable </3

CGI animators should unionize next. normally, their jobs would be too precarious to strike, since studios would replace them without a second thought, but if it's part of this larger general film strike, they might finally have meaningful power to better their working conditions

[studentofetherium]

if CGI animators unionized, it would kill the MCU. straight up. the the entire business model is built on exploiting CGI animators
