YEP! Its started! I know, its only taken me...what? A year? But that's partially cause SOME OF YOU ARE...
...oh, right, not the place or time. Anyway, before we get started, just recapping the rules:
-Vote on the scene only if you've seen it. IF you haven't, you can watch it, but if you don't feel like watching it, don't go "This scene wins/loses cause I said so!" for the other. This is common sense here.
-Please make your vote distinguishable in some way, either by bolding, deleting the other entry, etc.
-For scenes with Time notes nearbye, that's cause some of these are hard to get isolated, and people wanted to nom specific instances, so only vote based on what's there. If only one time is listed, that means the scene starts there, more or less watch til the end (or at least, until it seems like a logical ending place in some cases).
-THERE WILL BE SPOILERS! Assume that every topic from here on in has them. WATCH SCENES AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION! I REPEAT! THERE WILL BE SPOILERS! (Note: I have NOT seen all the scenes in question, that's why I have a helper here!) Note that scenes are labelled in ways that they are not spoilers.
-Some scenes were hard to find, so scripts for them were provided instead; this will only be done for those that mostly require dialog rather than visuals.
As for a reminder, its split into 4 divisions; 2 matches for the first 3, the last one gets one match cause it had half as many entries. The Divisions are to be viewed as followed, more or less:
Drama: Genuine serious, well handled scene, with good writing, voice acting, what have you; basically its one of those "deep" nonsense things.
Style: Vote on that "Awesome" factor. How cool it looks, how ridiculous it can get, etc. Basically, scenes good for "Shallow" reasons.
Humor: Scenes that are funny, and are meant to be, be it for random slapstick, funny lines, what have you. This is NOT based on stuff like "BAD VOICE ACTING!" or what not; this is INTENTIONAL humor. That stuff goes to...
Wrong: I was debating using "AWESOME!?" for this one, but I figured that might get confused with Style, which sometimes gets referred to as "AWESOME!" Basically, scenes that are remembered for all the wrong reasons. Unintentional ham, bad memorable voice acting, Good-Bad Translations, what have you! This is the one where your standards don't need to make sense!
Naturally, I expect you to vote primarily based off the divisions specialty, so don't say "Scene A is funnier, but I'm giving Scene B the win cause its better drama!" when the scene in question is humor; I expect you to go for what you found more entertaining. Of course, I can't hold you to vote that way, but please remember WHAT division you're dealing with before you make your assessment.
Also, in ALL cases, vote for which scene you think/liked more; yes, this applies to even Wrong, despite how the name may state, its NOT a division of failure.
