Live Poll: Good vs. Good!

bump

Good poll! :)

Bump.

Kramer vs. Kramer

Kramer vs. Kramer: Although I thought it would be better for the child to stay with the father and not subject him to another emotionally damaging change, I did not demonize Streep's character, JoAnn, in the least and she was right about many things. Both parents were very sympathetic characters. 'Great film and great feminist film. 'Great idea for a poll, as well! 

My first thought was the brothers from Warrior. And there they are!

FYC:
Les Miserables Valjean vs. Javert
Inherit the Wind - Drummond vs. Brady
Adam's Rib - Adam vs. Amanda
The Fugitive - Gerard vs. Kimball
Rocky - Creed vs. Rocky
Catch Me If You Can - Hanratty vs. Frank
Top Gun - Maverick vs. Iceman
The Social Network - Zuckerberg vs. the Winklevi
This Means War - Foster vs. Tuck
Breaking Bad - Hank vs. Walt
Person of Interest - Carter vs. Reese (first season)
Looney Tunes - Road Runner vs. Wile E. Coyote
Yogi Bear - Ranger Smith vs. Yogi and Boo Boo

"vs." should have a period. Place change the title from:
Good vs Good!

To:
Good vs. Good!

- - -

Also, place change "vs" to "vs." in choices #1 through #13.

I've already told you this, but this really is a great idea. :)

I just noticed a little typo. There's a missing "s" at the end of a plural word in the intro, as shown below in bold:

When good characters compete against bad characters it's easy to choose sides.

I disagree with Walter White and Hank. Walter is definitly on the bad side, even if he's sympathic! Hank is on the good side for sure! Same with Wylee Coyote and Road runner. Even if the Road Runner is mostly a unsympathic nuisance and Wylee is a pitiful looser, Road Runner is good, Wylee is bad! The rest of the list is pretty good! I like it.

I think you should stick to movie options, and maybe keep the TV rivalries for another poll, right now, the balance isn't quite there between movies and TV.

The "Rocky vs. Apollo" rivalry is tricky, if you're talking about the first film, then obviously Rocky was the one we were supposed to root for, in the second, the problem is that we might root for Apollo but in the script, he's clearly depicted as an antagonist, and it's one of the reasons I didn't like the first parts of the movies. You would think Apollo might have learned a lesson of humility after the first game but instead he insults Rocky, calling him 'lucky' and other names... he uses the media to ruin his image etc. Meanwhile Rocky went through so much crap (from the wasted money to the lousy job, not to mention Adrian's coma) that it wasn't difficult to root for him.

FYC

Rick Blaine vs. Victor Laszlo
Snipes and Harrelson in "White Men Can't Jump"
The Grumpy Old Men
Woody vs. Buzz
Fast Eddie Felson vs. Minnesota Fats in "The Hustler"
Sharks vs. jets (if not good, they're equally bad)
Mmmm maybe Mozart vs. Salieri?

Paok,

I agree with ElM that perhaps it would be best to exclude the TV characters. There was also some discussion about Zuckerberg vs. The Winklevi earlier; they should probably be removed.

Yogi and Boo Boo vers Ranger Smith D:

My vote: Adam vs. Amanda from Adam's Rib

My vote is for Civil War : it was really hard to choose a side between these two character.

Tony was right that they needed boundaries and it’s part of what separates them from the bad guys but Steve is right on not trusting the government.
