TNIAAM Marvel Not-So-Secret Wars 2021: Final Four

Last year, in lieu of a basketball tournament for the Syracuse Orange (either team) we tapped into our affinity for pop culture and comics to fill the COVID sized gap in the sports year. That led to the TNIAAM Marvel Civil War. With the drop of Black Widow last week and the finale of Loki this week, now seemed as good a time as any to refresh that bracket. I give to you, the 2021 TNIAAM Marvel Not-So-Secret Wars.

Round four is in the books.

Some of the shocks:

• It was all chalk with the 1s and 2s facing each other in every regional, yet surprisingly, the 2-seed won in each case

Without further ado, the updated bracket:

In the first matchup, Thor gets another crack at Thanos. While this bracket is largely based on the comics, MCU viewers may recall Thor’s had mixed results against Thanos. Perhaps this time, voters go for the head.

The Master of Magnetism against the Sorcerer Supreme. While both characters are pretty formidable, it’s at least a little surprising to see both in this Final Four — especially over “more popular” options like Wolverine and Spidey. Alas, one of these two will go up against the equivalent of a god in the final.

Polling closes for both matchup on Thursday Night night at 9 p.m. ET.

Seeding and selection was a collective effort of various #DisloyalIdiots including myself, Andy Pregler and John Cassillo. Send any and all ire our direction.
