1 Male Serious TV Role Thomas Magnum - Magnum P.I.

1 Female Serious TV Role Xena - Xena: Warrior Princess

3 Flex Characters General Zod - Superman II, Cosmo Kramer - Seinfeld, Han Solo - Star Wars

 

Wow - this is a good team. I thought they were strong in the last round, but now even more so. The only weaknesses I see are Magnum PI and Leeloo, but I suppose that's a matter of opinion - many loved the show Magnum whereas I thought it was weak. As for Leeloo, I am a HUGE fan of a hot chick wearing nothing but a gauze bandage, but she didn't have much dialogue and IMO there were far stronger choices at serious female movie role. That might hurt this team down the stretch when every player is a difference maker.

 

That said, Pinhead, Zod, Chewbacca, Han Solo, Jessica Rabbit, Nigel, and Xena make up for any perceived weakness on this roster and I think they have a shot.

 

Team B

Male Serious Movie Role: Tony Montana - Scarface

Female Serious Movie Role: Marge Gunderson - Fargo

Male Serious TV Role: James T Kirk - Star Trek

Female Serious TV Role: Emma Peel - The Avengers

Male/female Funny Movie Role: Frank Ricard - Old School

Male/female Funny TV Role: George Costanza - Seinfeld

Cartoon Character - Homer Simpson - The Simpsons

Sidekick - Barny Fife - The Andy Griffith Show

Horror/Bad guy/Villian: Roy Batty - Blade Runner

Flex: John Shaft - Shaft

Flex: Hannibal Lecter - Silence of the Lambs, etc.

Flex: Gamera - Gamera films

 

Easily on par with Team A, this roster is deep and has a lot to like about it. Lots of subtlety here, and I understand why so many have misunderstood this team as a pretender, not a contender...make no mistake - any team with Shaft, Costanza, Marge Grunderson, Hannibal Lecter, Captain Kirk, Emma Peel and Homer Simpson has a shot.

 

TEAM C

 

Male/Serious/Film: Michael Corleone - The Godfather Trilogy - 1.9

Female/Serious/Film: Ellen Ripley - Alien(s)3 - 3.9

Male/Serious/TV: Sonny Crockett - Miami Vice - 2.1

Female/Serious/TV: Daisy Duke - Dukes of Hazzard - 9.9

Male or Female/Funny/TV: Alf- ALF - 5.9

Male/Funny/Film: Borat Sagdiyev - Borat - 4.1

Cartoon: Roger "Race" Bannon - Jonny Quest - 12.1

Sidekick: Walter Sobchak - The Big Lebowski - 10.1

Horror/Villian/Whatever: Marv - Sin City - 7.9

Three (3) Flex Characters:

Inspector Harry "Dirty Harry" Callahan - Dirty Harry, et al. - 6.1

Travis Bickle - Taxi Driver - 8.1

Lt. Col. William "Bill" Kilgore - Apocalypse Now - 11.9

 

Team C, to me, stands out as the weakest of the 3. While I love the Marv pick in name value because he's a great character, he's more a "whatever" than a Horror or Villian. He was a hero in most ways...just a little misunderstood. And while Michael Corleone, Ellen Ripley, Dirty Harry and Borat make for a strong core of this team, I'm a little worried about depth. Alf, Roger Bannon and Travis Bickle, while decent draft values, just don't match up well with the competition.

 

With all due respect for the fine squad put together by C's manager, this appears to be the weakest of the three. But there really are no losers here, considering the heart and passion every one of these team managers brings to the field every day.

 

C gets my vote for elimination.
