2018 CBM Year End awards: Best Hero

Him losing makes him unworthy of the crown he does not have the right to be black panther per his own heritage's rule. If its ok for BP to go all mutiny, what stops the other tribes ?

Iron Man

Tony, Thor was not a hero at all in Infinity War. Sure he was a fantastic character and had a badass entrance, but what he did to Thanos is something you would expect a villain to do, not a hero. In terms of heroes this year, it'd be between Tony, T'Challa, and Wade for me

Iron Man for me. He did the most when you think about it.

he only survived due to outside interference. The other tribe that saved him said as much. This is pretty clear. No outside influence is allowed. Therefore he does not have the right to be BP

Captain America. Asked for best hero, not most powerful hero (though I admit Thor was pretty damn heroic).

Changed the game? Not only did he fail to one shot Thanos He failed to save half of the life in the universe.

Half of the life in the Universe >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Wakanda.

People are alive because Thanos only meant to kill half of the life in the universe at random. The other half were just lucky. It also doesn't answer the fact that Thor wanted Thanos to suffer. His obvious hatred and revenge still doesn't make him a hero. I'll even go as far as to say that Thor's motivation in going to Wakanda is only to make Thanos suffer. His first words upon arriving in Wakanda were "Bring me Thanos".

Anecdotes don't really mean anything other than the number of people watching the movies. Infinity War is certainly a much much bigger cbm event than Aquaman. This however, doesn't mean that Thor's entrance in Wakanda is automatically the best.

We've seen Thor used his aoe lightning ground strike before.

Aquaman's entrance on the ocean floor is something much much more unique, imaginative and creative. Nobody has ever seen anything like that before in a superhero movie. It certainly deserves much more credit. Aquaman's entire 3rd act is his epic superhero moment. I can't say the same thing for Thor.

Thor easily, Iron Man comes second.

Iron Man.

When did Thor get so much wank?

he lost the battle one on one. IDC what anyone says when the rules are established. Listen the guy living in his mom basement playing video games all day CAN want to take out some evil force but if he doesnt have the capability due to lack of training? A for effort? no, you fail you fail.

Strange

Two voters have mentioned their votes go to strange, so far. Thor has 34 votes in the poll

Steve, Thor and T'challa all surprised me this year. I think Thor had the best moments and grew the most on me.

Thor is my best hero for 2018.

Mikes Morales...since people forgot about Spiderverse.

@zepta_pon: Your obvious hate for Thor is noted.

What Thor did vs Thanos>>>>>>>>>>>what ALL other heros COMBINED did to Thanos. Also you are looking at it all wrong. You claim Thor didn't go for the kill shot????? Not true at all. Usually An Ax strait to the heart is actually a Kill shot just slower then decapitation.. Many who go for the kill use the heart nothing wrong with that except in this case Thanos was still able to snap, which Thor do not expect....So your point is rather moot. Oh and anything Aquaman (who I like) did is nothing compared to what Thor did.

Oh and you talk about Thor wanting revenge?? Well I'd say Duh on that one his entire race was wiped out there is NO hero who wouldn't have wanted that. Put your boy Aquaman in that same scenario he's more hot headed and would have done the same or less..thanks for the convo though

@amonfire1776: it's intentionally omitted

I don't hate Thor. I just dislike how Marvel treated and handled his character in the MCU. The same way I disliked how WB handled Batman in JL.

Thanos mocked Thor in the end saying "You should've gone for the head". He's right. Aiming and hitting the head gives a much much higher chance of instantly killing or knocking out an opponent. Thor had no intention of instantly killing Thanos because he wanted him to suffer first. He put his motivation of hatred and revenge first before saving half of the life in the Universe.

This thread is not about who's more powerful - it seems that the term "Hero" had lost its true meaning here.

We look and judge these characters based on the actual movies they're in, not on what if scenarios.

@zepta_pon: I mean I get what your saying but again A shot to the heart is a kill which almost Zero heroes go for the decapitation think about that. How many heroes would go for the decapitation off the bat?????? Maniacs would even some villians would not think to do that first..

Plus Thor lost everything literally. His hammer father then entire race. Nearly dies at hands of the star that nearly killed him all to stay alive and Go to earth save his friends and find thanos. If that's not heroic I don't know what is...

Thor was the coolest, Iron Man was the best.

@citizensurfer: then vote for him. One vote could make the difference

Aquaman

Imagine still thinking Black Panther was even semi-decent.

Thor, everyone else was bland or somehow got worse.

Thor and Iron Man were shining pretty brightly in this film. I voted Iron Man, but I totally understand why Thor received a higher percentage.

@apex_pretador: Why though?

BP. It was his year. Wakanda Forever.

@amonfire1776: it's live action only.

@apex_pretador: Ok, please tag me then.

Odinson.

Miles Morales from Into the Spider-Verse.

not sure why so many people voted for Thor from Infinity war. The dude was just out for vengeance. His motives did seem at all focused on sacrificing himself to save the universe unlike Tony who went thru a no going back situation. Tony was definitely more of a hero than Thor in the movie. Wanda is up there as well and so is Aquaman.

@apex_pretador: aha, now that I see this thread I understand better the one with Mera and other "secondary" characters...

Thor was absolutely amazing in IW, he has my vote.

Please tag me for your next polls.

1. Thor

2. Miles

3. Hmm... I liked Wasp.

Thor no contest. His Ragnarok and Infinity War performances were next level.

2018? Thor not even close
