Dark Tower March Insanity 2025 Round 2

The first round of the 5th Annual Dark Tower March Insanity is in the books, and we had not only a first but TWO of them! We had two ties in Round 1. We have never had a tie before so on the fly I decided to literally flip a coin on these two, not idea but with the tight timeline not a whole lot of better options!

Cast your votes for Round 2 and let’s hope there are no more ties, but who knows because one thing about these brackets is they only get harder!

Also for the first time starting this year we are doing a parallel bracket for Non-DT King where we are crowning Most Hated Character, so cast your votes there as well!

King March Insanity 2025 Round 2

Round 1 is in the books, and there were some tight races in Round 1. Some of them are ones I would not have counted on to be tight!

Cast your vote to help us decide Round 2 and crown the most Hated King Character Outside the Dark Tower Series!

Also the 5th Annual Dark Tower bracket is going in parallel so check that out as well!
