Pick two to advance!

[Spider-Dan]

Another easy choice.  X2 and Logan are my two favorite X-Men movies by a sizable margin.

I think Logan, in particular, is a special movie in this contest.  I think both Logan and Dark Knight stand out as "films" that you don't need to be a comic book fan to enjoy.  But Logan was the first movie that treated Wolverine in an ultra-serious manner.  Zack Snyder has been trying to churn out grimdark DC movies for years, and Logan accomplished being grim and dark with a lot more sunlight.  I think Logan stands as the best accomplishment of "cinema" in this competition.

Spider-Man and Logan were easy choices for me.  X2 was a good movie too, but didn't make the cut IMO.

I picked X2 and Spider-Man. 

I like Logan, but didn't love it like so many others did.  I think I might be over-rating X2 also, but I have fond memories of it.

I really still like what Spider-man did for comic book films.

Daredevil is a turd.

Voting has ended!  Logan and Spider-Man advance to the next round, where they will face Deadpool and X-Men.
