Peter Petrelli for the win. RIP Heroes

I would pay just to watch Rambo communicate with SpongeBob and Mighty Mouse.

I'm loving the Petrelli pick and Rambo picks the most. Petrelli is the ONLY reason I voted for venom's team.

 

[Jespher]

I think Rambo could best V, however, Peter Petrelli and Jean Grey clearly have the upper hand on their cartoon opponents. I'm going with Venom_7 .

I'm starting to change my mind about the cartoons, I couldn't let this originality result in a sweep.

No contest. Spongebob has a home field advantage, surrounded by creatures that have been guided by nature's cruel folly. I have yet to see anything that can destroy Spongebob.

Also, Mighty Mouse? Really?

Mighty mouse can fly in space to chase down Jean Grey if he has to. I won't even get into the advantage that Rambo has over Petrelli...but here's a hint:

please refer to my elaborate write-up...

don't let good, clean effort be trumped by gimmicky picks!!!

It's kind of funny to imagine the battle, especially with a team as serious as mine vs. well... what I would consider a team of gimmicky picks.

while the humor is there, I would hate to see my three page write-up disregarded for cartoons... AGAIN, for the second year in a row. Reward effort, that's Allstates stand. Are you in good hands?

What on earth are you on about? Your writeups are included in the post:

I know very well the write-ups are referenced in the post... I was reminding people to consider them when voting.

The fun part for me was the write-up, and I'd hate to see it ignored on the competitive side. I'm not bothered by those who voted for Spongebob, but I'd like a little more consideration for those who put forth the effort to describe their team dynamic.

Okay, you just have to be aware that it's completely justified to just vote according to the matchups. While I don't necessarily agree with a novelty team such as vikinginferno's (you can see i voted for you), I wouldn't disagree with anybody not paying too much attention to the writeups. The emphasis, imho, is on the drafting, not the things that happen later, if one team is simply superior, then so be it.

 

[Jespher]

Bump...Still a few more hours to vote for your favorite hero team .

 

[Jespher]

Congratulations Venom_7. You are moving on to the next round .
