Discussion: The 2013 SuperheroHype! Awards

[Marx]

We've made it another year and now it's time to celebrate as only hypesters can! The annual awards extravaganza known as The SuperheroHype! Awards is back! Over the years, the awards have become a nice way to close each year out and remember all the things that have happened. (From heated conversations on various topics, to blockbuster movies and fanboy wars, to members being forced into retirement, and everything in between.)​

Some of you might be familiar with how this works, and some of you may not...so here are the rules and guidelines.​

* Each category will have an 'official' nomination thread for you to post your nomination in.
* You do not have to nominate someone for every category if you do not want to.
* For the categories that you do participate in, please only nominate one person for each category. (Or two people for 'pair' and 'rivalry'.) (One thread for 'Thread of the Year'.)
* Please do not nominate yourself. (As great and wonderful as I'm sure you all are, if other people feel the same way...they will nominate you!)
* Only the 'Top 3' nominations in each thread will make the cut.​

The nominations part of the awards will come to a close on SUNDAY, DECEMBER 15TH. ​

Once the nominations have been tallied into a 'Top 3' for each category, the voting will begin!​

With that said, let's start the discussion and nominations!!!!​

 

[Sawyer]

No Villain of the Year?

What? What?! WHAT?!

 

[ComicChick]

i miss most improved poster, but i can't think of anyone right off hand who has really improved like in years past

 

[Spider-Aziz]

No Villain of the Year?

What? What?! WHAT?!

You remember the fiasco of last year, it made it hard for Marx to keep the thread standing

 

[hopefuldreamer]

I thought the fiasco was when it was called 'dick of the year'...

 

[Xeno]

I thought the fiasco was when it was called 'dick of the year'...

The name should have stayed the same since it's fitting. But calling people out like that is never cool, even when they richly deserve the title.

 

[DarkSentinel]

I'd have voted for FilmNerdJamie

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

No Dick of the Year? I'm disappointed?

Some people just can't handled being called out on their *****ebaggery.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

FilmNerdJamie had a lot of fun last year in that nomination, him being here was a blast
The way a few nominating members handled that thread made a mess of things

 

[TheIrishAvenger]

Uh oh, time to start making avvys for everybody so I'll get that 'Most Helpful' award.

 

[Hush]

I concur, lets bring the Dick back into these awards. What would the awards be like without some Dick, I mean Dick is kinda a staple of the awards.

 

[Anubis]

We want Dick!

 

[DarkSentinel]

Guys, please, the LAST thing we should want is for Cheney to be involved with the awards

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Oh you guys

 

[Sawyer]

No Dick of the Year? I'm disappointed?

Some people just can't handled being called out on their *****ebaggery.

I can! I was aiming for that ****ing award.

 

[Teelie]

And much like Dick Cheney, it appears you are now just randomly firing at whatever moves near you.

 

[MrMaooz]

So...anyone getting drunk at the after-party?

 

[Sawyer]

Shut up, Moose.

 

[MrMaooz]

What if I told you I can bring Peter Capaldi to the pahtaay?

 

[Marx]

I knew there would be discussion about the list of awards. The only comment that I would like to make in regards to the exclusion of the "Villain"/"Dick of the Year" award is this...

There is a certain mentality that runs throughout this board that does not allow for an award like this to take place. While it is true that this particular award has been a staple for quite some time, the hype just cannot handle it. It was always meant to be a "good natured" roast or ribbing against whatever hypester happened to be nominated (or ultimately win the award.) Time and time again, it devolved into nothing more than a way to viciously slam other hypesters.

There was a lot of discussion among the staff over the last year and our decision was to put this particular award on hiatus. I would sincerely ask that you all respect that decision and do not railroad this thread (or any other thread) into yet another misguided rant against the staff.

As I said in the original post of this thread, these awards are meant to be fun! A way to laugh and reflect on all of the things that have taken place on this board over the last year. Let's keep our focus on that!

Thank you.​

 

[Erzengel]

Actually, Marx, the Dick of the Year was a way to usually stick it to an unlikeable poster, usually a moderator. It seems now that it's evolve/devolved into an award that certain posters now want.

 

[Immortalfire]

I will not win any of these.

No one likes me.

 

[Hush]

That's because you would have won Dick of the Year.





I Kid, I kid.......just mad about missing a week of picks two weeks ago and subsequently being fined.

 

[Immortalfire]

Could be worse, you could have been the one I just kicked out for missing two weeks.

 

[Hush]

Damn, that does suck and if it helps you were close to my nomination for Mod, but i've nominated you in the past and I like to try and make the Noms a tad different each year.
