New Idea: The Fantaverse Creates Our 100 favorite Movie Characters

New Poll Idea!!!

So I was thinking, since we haven't implemented the rankings system yet, and we are going to go with someone else's character list, why don't we just make our own instead???

Even if we don't use this (but I would really like if we did) It would still be cool to run.

The Poll:

The 100 best Movie Characters of all time

This will run a little differently from my history of rock poll. Because there will be no eras, it will not be broken up in groups of 16. Instead, post as many as you want.. You do not need to post 100, obviously.

Also, any character that receives a second and a third will be moved on to the tournament.

You do not have to post them all at once. If someone posts a character and you want to add your name to the list of supporters, just like the movie polls have been done, go ahead.

Once a List is compiled, I will ask anyone whoever is willing to do so to rank them in order. I am hoping to have at least 5, preferably closer to 10 people ranking. We had way more top 100 movies than that, so i don't think its too much to ask.

The list would then be the average of each of the lists.

It will take a while, and I hope no one minds that they are missing out on rankings as our posts increase. I just think it would be better to have a personal list, rather than someone else's list, especially one that has some huge faults.

What do you say, Fantaverse?

Capital idea, geez!
