Y’all have been doing such a great job that Atticus Finch has made it to the Final Four of Clay Morgan‘s March Movie Madness tournament. It started with 64 teams. Now Atticus needs your help to make it to the final two of this Best Movie Hero competition.
Atticus is up against some stiff competition, namely Indiana Jones. We’ve all seen the Indy flicks. But most people have not seen the final one, entitled “Indiana Jones Falls to the Zombies.” Here’s photographic evidence… in fact it’s the only image not copyrighted by fans of The Walking Dead:
Besides the fact that Indiana Jones is now a zombie, why else should you vote for Atticus Finch?
- Atticus needed only ONE movie to become a hero.
- Atticus could wear any hat and still be Atticus.
- Atticus comes first alphabetically.
- Atticus is not afraid of snakes.
- And of course, there’s all those justice/integrity/equality/role-model-single-dad/blah-da-blah-da-blah reasons.
So do it. Click over and vote for Atticus and save humanity. You have until noon EST Saturday to do it.

Just for fun: who’s your favourite cartoon movie hero?
Atticus Finch over Indiana Jones? HA!
I sneer in the face of such absurdity.
Indiana Jones was a hero with the first movie – he was such an awesome one, they had to make a few more.
Atticus? Unworthy of a sequel.
Plus, he’s now added to the list of lawyers that screwed Andy Dufresne from The Shawshank Redemption.
Your zombie tricks will not fool me, oh ironic one.
Are you bitter over what happened to Andy? 😉
Bitter? BITTER?
The lofty winner accuses me of bitterness – while the very one you champion would be screaming with cries of injustice over defeating someone who spent twenty years in prison for a crime he did not commit!
No bitterness here.
Nope.
None.
Not at all.
Really.
I swear.
Atti would have saved him.
I got you and Ferris going up in the final–wahoo!!!!
El, your loyalty to Renee is amazing.
Alas, I could never vote against Wesley.
I hear you Kelly! I adore Wesley, but Renee spends hours with me on my writing. And I am nothing if not loyal!!
I love El. And we always have each other’s backs. And fronts and sides. And if someone doesn’t like it? Baseball bats and golf clubs!
The competition is especially stiff when it’s all been zombified.
Wordplay of the day goes to Mr. Claytion! 🙂
Ironic Mom just has a way with making things stiff.
You made me gasp. You can vote however you want….
Leanne: Done. And for real, I want to go head to head with you. I have the write-up in my mind. That is probably preposterous and presumptuous of me…unless you tweet your minions and ask them to SAVE FERRIS.
Cyber buddies AND best protagonists compete? Would you? Could you? I will if you will.
I said head and someone said stiff.
iykwim.
Renzay & Shirtsleeves?
Cause and effect? I think we make a fine team, Renzay!
You girls are having way too much fun! it’s time to roll up the sleeves and make some last minute campaign signs and buttons. Go door to door, call your neighbors, pull in every favor. Get in touch with your old friends from high school, but why stop there; grade school. Go to every Starbucks and hand out cards with the link,
YOU CAN DO IT!!!
Great idea, Susie. And unlike the Girl Guides, what we deliver is calorie free.
Hey I am all about free!
See, that’s the problem with voting – when it goes from a true character’s merits, to who has more social media power.
Hmm.. funny how it parallels the government..
Wesley should take it all.
If you google “best movie hero”, several experts have Atticus (and Indy) at the top of the list…
Kelly: We will have to agree to disagree. I really don’t think Westley is the best movie protagonist. In fact, I really dislike The Princess Bride.
And just like in political races, it is my duty to use social media to spread my message.
But I will accept whatever Fate comes to my sweet (yet naughty) Ferris.
So here is the thing for me. Atticus is a literary hero, but the movie has no relevance for me. I have to go with Mr. Jones.
(Save Ferris!)
Indy is a great character with a great hat. I’ll give him that.
Kelly is a better person than I am because I AM BITTER that Atticus beat Han Solo. I don’t think he really would have. Had I not been visiting my parents over spring break making sure my parents didn’t talk to my kids too much about death (what age does this start? 77?78?) And for the fact that the deluxe capacitor on the Millennium Falcon was broken. (I may be mixing movies here.)
Bitter
Bitter
Bitter
I wasn’t sure Atti was going to come out of the Han Solo race either!
Batman, of course!
