Re: Favorite OOTS Character Tournament: #7 ELAN vs #2 REDCLOAK
These are literally my two favorites in the strip, so it hurts to cast a vote against either of them. *sigh*
At the end of the series, maybe I'd give to Elan. He has a had a lot of growth and moments of surprising poignancy, some of the best in comic even. I expect he will continue to grow and his particular spirit may ultimately prove to be one of the most crucial elements of all. But Redcloak is still just more compelling to me personally. The depth, the tragedy, the complexity and ambiguity of his character are perfectly done, and I honestly feel like he could go in a lot of different ways by the end, so I am always hooked to get more clues about how his plotline and related plotlines will conclude. When it's over, maybe I'll like him a lot less for choices he ultimately makes, where I think Elan is a lot more certain to make the right choices. But for now, it's still gonna have to be Redcloak.Last edited by B. Dandelion; 2017-09-07 at 01:21 AM.

Re: Favorite OOTS Character Tournament: #7 ELAN vs #2 REDCLOAK
Just to be clear, Peelee isn't asking about "root for" as in "support" - that's pretty standard English, not slang. The question is about number 5 here.

Re: Favorite OOTS Character Tournament: #7 ELAN vs #2 REDCLOAK
Yes. I'm easily amused, and the thought of a significant numbers of English speakers reading post after post of rooting for people, but meaning something else, amuses me. Originally Posted by Hamste

Re: Favorite OOTS Character Tournament: #7 ELAN vs #2 REDCLOAK
Peelee, it gives a whole new meaning to hearing "Get your kicks on root sixty six" when that song is on the radio.

Fun fact. One of the regional sports networks on cable in the US branded itself as "Root Sports" for a while. Still called Root Sports Northwest up in the Pacific Northwest, as a matter of fact. Originally Posted by Peelee

Re: Favorite OOTS Character Tournament: #7 ELAN vs #2 REDCLOAK
I think most people (me included) pronounce it "rowt" when talking about any route, and "root" when talking about a soec8fic route. Originally Posted by KorvinStarmast

Re: Favorite OOTS Character Tournament: #7 ELAN vs #2 REDCLOAK
I have some homework to do first, so there's a couple hours left for last minute voting. Then I will tally and the winner will go on to face the winner of O-Chul and Monster-san.

Re: Favorite OOTS Character Tournament: #7 ELAN vs #2 REDCLOAK
I keep going back and forth and I have no idea who's winning, but I'm gonna register one for Elan. It just feels right.

Re: Favorite OOTS Character Tournament: #7 ELAN vs #2 REDCLOAK
Okay, I'm calling it. I predict that this tournament will not contain a single upset.

Re: Favorite OOTS Character Tournament: #7 ELAN vs #2 REDCLOAK
Well.... O-Chul has a decent lead over Redcloak at the moment. But then, they're only one seed apart. AND we've seen similar early leads fall apart soon after.
Elan's performance was damn impressive. He didn't upset Redcloak, but if there were a Vegas in Stick-world, he definitely would have beat the spread.
