Bender Region: #1 Bender Bending Rodriguez vs #3 Kif Kroker

[on:]

In the Bender Region final, we have the eponymous Mr. Rodriguez versus the amphibious Mr. Kroker. In this battle of robots and crazy space creatures, who'll move on? Discuss now and the poll opens at noon Sunday.

This is the only one of the four matches that I see a really clear victor. Gotta be Bender.

I gotta concur with the predictability of this match with spira.  The others are nowhere near as obviously in the bank (so to speak) as this one.  Even if the result is the predictable, I am going to vote for Bender rather than Kif.

As good a character I personally think Kif is, he still does not get to a Bender level.  But if Bender should ever meet Zapp or Zoidberg, Bender will not get my vote.

[Reply #3 on:]

Bender, definitely. Kif is a great character and all, but Bender always delivers in one way or another while Kif can have some meh moments.

I think I'll have to go with Bender, for "Godfellas" and "Lethal Inspection" alone. I like that the writers utilize the one main character who's not a human to explore a lot of deeply human fears and concerns.

That said, Kif is a sentimental favorite, and it will be sad to see him go.

Again the username should give it away. Bender will always win with me

I've always loved that, too. He's a great vehicle for plots about mortality and humanity.

Anyway, I agree with everyone else here. As much as I love Kif, he doesn't stand a chance against Bender. He made it pretty far, at least.

Excellent description:)

I'd have liked to see Kif vs. Zapp for the final, but it appears it is not to be. I don't think I can bring myself not to vote for Bender when he's up against somebody as squishy, green, boneless, and ultimately... secondary as Kif.

[Reply #9 on:]

If you voted anyone but Bender tnuk I'd hit you.

[Reply #10 on:]

If Bender comes up against Zapp, you're going to end up hitting me.

[Reply #11 on:]

Yeah I will. I'll make sure to leave a bruise too.

[Reply #12 on:]

Bender, hands down.  If Kif wins, I think I'll shit my pants.

[Reply #13 on:]

Quick, everyone vote for Kif to make Free Hot Meal shit themselves!

[Reply #14 on:]

If Kif wins, I think I'll shit my pants.

Do you really need an excuse? We all have accidents sometimes.

[Reply #15 on:]

Bender gets my vote because he's better than Kif, simple...

[Reply #16 on:]

Another no brainer.

[Reply #17 on:]

I am a bit surprised that Kif managed to get 5 votes. Still, that character did a too good job that it deserved to go down completely destroyed (so his votes are more than deserved).

[Reply #18 on:]

Really?  Kif is a good character, I am not surprised he got this far.  But neither am I surprised by the outcome.

[Reply #19 on:]

Obvious result is obvious.

[Reply #20 on:]

No surprises, good result, go Bender!...

[Reply #21 on:]

Bender wins 23-5. Continue discussion in the General thread.
