He must have been in a weak bracket?

****, this is as bad as drafting Tayson Jackson.

Taken was a terrible movie, but Liam Neeson was a total badass in it. The voting is for the characters, not the movies.

Is Bryan Mills capable of figuring out that he's fighting a robot, and then using his particular set of skills to take it down?

Bryan Mills will probably cause some damage to our Terminator. He will approach the Term thinking that he's approaching a normal human. Tries to round house kick him to subdue him. To his surprise, the Term will grab his left leg and break it. Proceeds to break Mills' neck and perhaps steal his jacket because BM has a decent taste when it comes to dressing well.

Sorry if it wasn't intended, but I take into account the quality of the character and the movie the character is from when determining my vote. Even Liam Neeson couldn't save Taken from being a boring pile of shit. Every second where he wasn't killing someone was worthless and there were far too many of those seconds.

I fuggin hate Terminator as the number one seed. Personally, I don't think Terminator should even be on this list.

Agreed...been saying for awhile now that his list was far too broad.

It is not even a hero, just a fuggin killing machine that follows its programming. Doesn't think for itself at all.

I agree, but he is so he gets my vote. Not sure what the bracket looks like but if he was going up against either Lee or Riggs he'd be going down this round for sure. I bet he'll be gone next round.

The problem with the T-800 is that there are a number of modern weapons that could easily dispatch a T-800.

A .50 caliber firing Raufoss ammo would make short work of one.

An RPG would completely incapacitate one as well.

Mills is a smart guy with great skills and training...but he also has access to them.

I need to know more about the dynamics of the situation before I vote.

I hear all of these arguments and they are sound, but I'm a little weary of vague military history and training as a replacement for an original character. At least with the Terminator they had the decency to not insult the audience and just say, "Oh, **** it. He's a future robot."

Every matchup is essentially the same - dimly lit maze, both sides have access to the same weaponry.

Good points on the weapons. The Terminator is not invincible by any means.

And as I stated in the other thread, yes Bryan Mills was in a weak opening heat.

Biggest frauds: Bryan Mills (benefited from a weak opening heat against Colt Seavers and Remo ****ing Williams, who got the shaft), Josey Wales (Robocop should be here), The Terminator (his heat was decent enough, but Jules was way too easy in the second round).

An RPG does Mills no good in a maze unless he has about 20 meters of clearance.

I could see Mills, knowing that the T-800 would be after it, using mines to deter the T-800, but they'd have to be anti-tank mines to make a real difference.

I love that this is being established AFTER half of the field has been eliminated.

It was established in the second poll, after the arena setting in the first poll was deemed too favorable to ranged experts.
