Geekdom Madness 2015: The Semi-Final

Here it is. Just two more weeks to go. This week the Elite Four square off to see who makes it into the final match.






Here's:

MATCH 1:



THE POWERPUFF GIRLS




They've rattled the Roadrunner, xylographed* the Xenomorphs, and neutralized Nightcrawler. Do they have what it takes?



THE BRIDE



She's defeated the Dude, gored Gonzo, and smothered Smaug. Does she have what it takes?

MATCH 2:


ABBY SCIUTO



She's bopped Brundle, charred Charizard, and perforated Penguin. Does she have what it takes?



HERMIONE GRANGER


She's dumped Data, destroyed Dinobot, and sliced Scar. Does she have what it takes?

Final Thoughts
Alright, I will admit it: I thought that the final match would be Smaug vs. Hermione. Clearly I underestimated something. In any case, I still feel Hermione is the strongest contender here - even though Abby won against two wildly popular characters to get here, it was through tiebreakers. As for Powerpuff vs Bride, well Powerpuff has more name recognition, but The Bride slew the freaking dragon so she has an equal shot in my book.



As always, make sure you're viewing the WEB version of the site and vote in the polls (remember, there are two now) on the right-hand side of the screen. Polls close Friday, and results posted on Saturday. Feel free to discuss your picks in the comments below.


*This means to print from a wood engraving. That was the only "X" verb I could find in the English language that does not contain a hyphen.

Update: The polls ARE up now. Sorry about the delay, it's been chaos here.
