THE DEAD CUP 2014 BEGINS!

World Cup Fever has gripped the planet and we here at Skybound World Headquarters are not immune. I find myself yelling at my monitor over red cards and arguing with Mackiewicz over Offside rules. So we thought, why not bring some of that magic to TWD? We want to know who you’re FAVORITE TWD COMIC CHARACTER IS (we’ll do TV at a later date), and what better way to do it than a tournament bracket? We’re skipping the round-robin group stage and going straight to a 4-group, 32 character single-elimination tournament! It’s gonna get bloody! Vote today for your favorite character in each match up and check back when the next Group starts to see the results! You know how they say “it’s not a popularity contest”? Well this is!

Today: GROUP A.
DEAD-CUP-GROUP-A-s

Rick-vs-Shane
Our first match up is a doozy! A real personal grudge match!
Rick struggled with his innate desire to lead for a long time, seeing sometimes disastrous results. He’s finally come to a place where he’s realized that great leadership requires sacrifice. Like your hand.
Shane was a good man with some inner demons. Jealousy and selfishness caused him to self destruct and things ended… kind of poorly.
[yop_poll id=”42″]

Dwight-vs-Herhsel
Sometimes our seeding system will lead to some odd pairs and this is one.
Dwight’s loyalty was hard to pin down for a long time. Hell, it still is. Good guy on the wrong side or blatant opportunist? Maybe both?
Hershel isn’t quite the series defining paternal figure he is on the TV show, but he is a good man, and a real boon to the group. Also, if he had a badass fighting name, he’d be the Amputationer.
[yop_poll id=”43″]

Maggie-vs-Earl
A Hilltop rumble!
Maggie has shown as much growth as anyone in the apocalypse. From farm girl, to loving wife, to mother, to badass leader. Gotta love anyone that puts the smack down on perv Gregory.
Earl Sutton, the blacksmith. He hasn’t too much of a chance to shine, but he cranks out bladed weapons and in his spare time whipped up a prosthetic hand for our main man, Rick. I think Earl’s popularity will rise throughout the year.
[yop_poll id=”44″]

Eugene-vs-Morgan
The Mullet enters the arena!
Eugene went from craven liar to invaluable member of the new world. And he lost some weight! Good job, Euge!
Morgan arrived very early in the series, and at a very pivotal time for Rick. He rejoined the group later, a little worse for the wear, but still surviving. Morgan’s was a tragic story.

        Nothing to do with you at all why would you think that? My work in the summer is crazy I go in at 7 and don’t get off sometimes till 8 or 9 . So by the time I wind down its time to sleep I get on and check on the new headlines and see what y’all are talkin about. I’m gonna be like the season 5 premiere or like Arnold said I’LL BE BACK

          I just wanted to make sure there wasn’t any other reason for you being AWOL. You know if someone was on here being nasty, we’d have to regulate! Then I worry about myself because I blow this site up….was hoping that it’s just as fun to you as it is to me (I’m sure I get on some people’s nerves, but there are only a few that make me care & you’re one). Anyway, just wanted to let you know it ain’t the same withoutcha!!

      You know the 1st one for me! Dwight, Earl (that was the toughest), & Morgan. You?

      Reply
      • Jason Thomas says:
        9 years ago

        I picked Shane because I feel like he is a very realistic example of what someone would be like in that kind of situation. Next I chose Dwight because his character is so mysterious I want more of his background story .. Maggie because I really love how her character has developed. And for the last Morgan and Eugene this was extremely hard for me I changed my mind multiple times but my final answer is Eugene because he has now become one of my favorite characters.

          I’m a little shocked you went with Shane & glad I’m not alone! This will definitely be interesting!!!

          • Bastet says:
            9 years ago

            I seriously thought I’d be the only one voting for Shane & that it would show up on the results as 0.000000000001%

          • Jason Thomas says:
            9 years ago

            Never lol .

          • Jason Thomas says:
            9 years ago

            Those results are pretty wild I thought Shane would have more votes and I also thought Eugene would win .

          • Bastet says:
            9 years ago

            I’m kinda surprised with the Dwight/Hershel results.

          • Jason Thomas says:
            9 years ago

            Me too I was Dwight all the way on that one .

          • Jason Thomas says:
            9 years ago

            Morgan / Eugene was the one I was the most interested in seeing the results of .

          • Bastet says:
            9 years ago

            I have never liked Eugene….even now, I don’t care for him. He just reminds me of a guy who stalked me, hid in the woods near my job, & followed me home one day. I’d go Full Shane on Eugene & pull an Otis stunt on him, just to pick ’em off.

          • Jason Thomas says:
            9 years ago

            Oh wow sorry to hear that dudes can be so weird sometimes .

            9 years ago

            Shane didn’t have enough frames in the comic. Let’s see what happens when we get to the show Cup. But then again, he may not be up against Rick.

    Honestly, I don’t think he could have created a society like Rick has. I dare say he would have eventually become another Governor or Negan.

        I agree. Rick did not start out as a good leader. Shane got it in the beginning. I think with Shane, the confrontation with the Gov. might have been very different. Rick was MIA for most of that. However, Shane had demons. Many. Once Rick hung up the imaginary phone calls to Lori, things improved.
