I normally wait until after the voting's wrapped up, but I suppose we could start with some of the crowner options that aren't doing so hot.

[up] Oh I didn't mean immediately, but yeah. (sorry if I wasn't being clear, I did mean after the voting was done)

Stan Lee now leads; tied but with better ratio.

I also prefer Stan Lee because Bill still blurs the line between Cool Old Guy and Badass Grandpa too much.

More lazy GIS-ing.

I prefer Stan Lee as well...but MAYBE that's because I'm a total geek for Spider Man

Darn, nothing is at or above a 2:1 ratio...we need more votes.

Bumping for more votes since Clint and Indy haven't been on the crowner very long.

Several options in the green right now. Clint Eastwood is at +5, Bill at +4, Stan Lee at +3, Indy at +1.

You don't mess around on the front lawn of an badass old man armed.

I have the same problem with Clint as with some of the others. There's considerable overlap between Cool Old Guy and Badass Grandpa... and that's OK, but for the trope image, I think we're better off having an Old Guy who's not obviously Badass. (Stan's being mock Badass, but obviously just goofing around in a way that shows what a Cool Old Guy he is.)

That's a point brought up again and again but rarely heeded.

I completely agree with it, and Stan Lee is good.

I have NO problem with Stan Lee beating Clint. Because like I said...Stan is awesome, I love that old guy.

I say call it, it's been up for a while. Stan Lee is a perfect example, he is in the lead with a 2:1 ratio. I say put him up, and the others can be imagelinks and such.
