It is foolish to judge a comic book movie in comparison to comic books themselves. The medium of serialized superhero comic book fiction does not lend itself well to a film adaptation that can be both faithful to its source and fiscally successful.

12PM is noon. Due Saturday at noon, EST.

OH MY GOD JACK IS POSTING ANO oh wait this is pretty useful. Thanks guy.

I will be in attendance.

I don't like playing Street Fighter 4 without it on.

Yeah, no.

I think the source usage is fine; I don't see this piece as a vehicle for original writing; stylistically and harmonically things stay with it. Fantastic arrangement; great percussion too, some of those fills are really awesome. Love the guitars and the performance throughout. I like it! Tally ho! YES

Great arrangement. Straightforward, but still expands. Not crazy about the synth lead; kind of vanilla. Love the organ stuff at 2:20. Some timing issues on the rhythm guitar, but it's not a dealbreaker. YES

Very nice work. Breakdown helps, but once I refamiliarized myself with the source tunes, had no trouble following. Fantastic sequencing on your part, great part-writing, very cinematic. The dynamics in this piece are very broad and well utilized. Just great. YES

Hey guys, just wanna say, these Proto Man Round 1 mixes are pretty awesome.

What is this remix? I don't see it on OCR.

In other news, my apologies to ImmoralBlack. I missed one of your votes and I've added you back into the results. I've re-uploaded the zip file for this week's mixes because I forgot the album art in the tags. Grab the files again, or wait until the very very end of the competition in a month or two when I post ONE BIG ZIP WITH ALL THE REMIXES.

No, it's not really that big of a deal in this case, but I just wanted to make sure to say it, because more and more people were talking about maybe doing it. I'm not trying to single anyone out.

There seems to be a lot of talk about "starting early." I figured it wouldn't need to be said but don't start your mixes early. Obviously I can't enforce this but we should all try to play fair and adhere to the start and stop times. It's good to be competitive but lets try to maintain a sense of sportsmanship.

Results are up, with voting tallies linked below the bracket graphic. I really, really need to stress the importance of voting in every battle that is posted. If you just look at the thread for Draconiator vs. prophetik, you'd think he won, but there are a lot of votes for him that had to be discounted because those voters didn't vote in some other battles. We need to be fair to all participants, which means if you're voting in a round, make sure you pay equal attention to all the contestants' entries. Also, like I said before, you can't post "it's a draw!" That isn't a vote at all, and I ended up not counting someone's votes because they did that. It's a shame, but it's fair. Also I realize that having separate threads and voting this way is not the most efficient and makes us more prone to forgetting to vote on certain tracks, but right now I don't have the time or the resources to build a voting system the way I want it to work. Hopefully by next year (or this fall during GMRB 2011) I'll be able to build a voting system that works better. Congratulations to the folks advancing, and really everyone who participated in the first half of the first round. Proto Man remixes will be going up after I eat lunch.

Guys, when you vote, you can't declare a draw. You have to vote for someone. Argh.

No worries.

Guys, please refrain from posting unofficial tallies. I have to go through and figure out which votes are valid and are not. Some people didn't vote in all the battles, which can affect the closer races. I don't want remixers jumping the gun for the next round.

Looks like rexxz isn't sending a mix. I have 15 mixes. Tallying votes right now, gonna take a while. Please don't bug me or post crap like "OMG I CAN'T WAIT," because it's just going to annoy me and I will delay things out of spite, because I am a petty, petty man.

I still need remixes from Xarnax42, rexxz, and chroxic. EDIT: got chroxic

I have AeroZ, JakeSnke17, and DusK.

I am Sunstar.

It's Friday and I only have AeroZ's submission. Proto Men are bringin' it down to the wire.

That is as creepy as it is amazing, and vice versa.

There is nothing prettier than a Blood Elf.
