None, however, were as preeminently badass as the Mountain King Troll seen at the end of the movie. Now the question is, does this giant troll stand a chance against an enormous smiling marshmallow?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/mountain-king-troll-thumb-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-43015\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/mountain-king-troll-thumb-1.jpg\" title=\"Mountain King Troll\" width=\"107\" height=\"107\" \/><\/a><strong>Mountain King Troll<\/strong> \u2013 Living in such a cold environment would make anyone angry. The Mountain King Troll is also enormous, so his ill temperament usually leads to him destroying anything in his path.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Strengths:<\/span> Like many of the monsters in this tournament, he&#8217;s big and strong. He could squash just about anything just by stepping on it. Also, his anger is one of the driving forces behind his destructive nature. If you make him mad, watch out.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Weaknesses:<\/span> Ultraviolet light. However, with a troll this size, it would take a lot of UV rays to turn him to stone. One wonders if Stay Puft could get hold of any concentrated UV anyway.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/stay-puft-thumb-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-43016\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/stay-puft-thumb-1.jpg\" title=\"Stay Puft Marshmallow Man\" width=\"107\" height=\"107\" \/><\/a><strong>Stay Puft Marshmallow Man<\/strong> \u2013 Imagine being thrust into existence simply because someone thought of you during a battle with a demonic force that was going to use his next thought as a weapon against him. Considering his very short lifespan, Stay Puft was able to wreak some havoc as a giant sugar-infused monster.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Strengths:<\/span>  I&#8217;m not really sure that he has any other strengths other than being really, really big.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Weaknesses:<\/span> Obviously, he&#8217;s quite adverse to Proton Packs. Also, I&#8217;d think that a horde of boy scouts jonesing for s&#8217;mores could take him down relatively easily. He just looks so tasty.<\/p>\n<div id=\"polls-320\" class=\"wp-polls\">\n\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Stay Puft Marshmallow Man vs. Mountain King Troll<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"polls-320-ans\" class=\"wp-polls-ans\"><ul class=\"wp-polls-ul\">\n\t\t<li>Stay Puft Marshmallow Man <small>(61%, 36 Votes)<\/small><div class=\"pollbar\" style=\"width: 61%;\" title=\"Stay Puft Marshmallow Man (61% | 36 Votes)\"><\/div><\/li>\n\t\t<li>Mountain King Troll <small>(39%, 23 Votes)<\/small><div class=\"pollbar\" style=\"width: 39%;\" title=\"Mountain King Troll (39% | 23 Votes)\"><\/div><\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Total Voters: <strong>59<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" id=\"poll_320_nonce\" name=\"wp-polls-nonce\" value=\"dcd46ee586\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"polls-320-loading\" class=\"wp-polls-loading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-polls\/images\/loading.gif\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading ...\" title=\"Loading ...\" class=\"wp-polls-image\" \/>&nbsp;Loading ...<\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/chucky-leprechaun.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43010\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/chucky-leprechaun.jpg\" title=\"Chucky vs. Leprechaun\" width=\"523\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/chucky-leprechaun.jpg 523w, https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/chucky-leprechaun-300x103.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 523px) 100vw, 523px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Two pint-sized horrors go up against one another in this match-up. This is one of my favorite head-to-heads in the entire tournament. Couldn&#8217;t you just picture these two awkwardly stabbing at each other as they each try to pull the scariest <em>&#8220;I&#8217;m gonna get you&#8221;<\/em> face that they can muster? This is a really hard battle for me to pick a winner.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/chucky-thumb-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-43013\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/chucky-thumb-1.jpg\" title=\"Chucky\" width=\"107\" height=\"107\" \/><\/a><strong>Chucky<\/strong> \u2013 Who knew that a demonic talking doll would go on to make sequel after sequel? When I was younger, just seeing a cover for a &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/bluray.highdefdigest.com\/2453\/childsplay.html\">Child&#8217;s Play<\/a>&#8216; movie at the local Blockbuster would give me the willies. I never looked at dolls the same way again after that.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Strengths:<\/span> Chucky seems to be invincible in some way. Sure, he&#8217;s died plenty of times at the end of each movie, yet there&#8217;s always a way to bring him back. It&#8217;s hard to kill demonic possession.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Weaknesses:<\/span> Chucky has been melted, sliced up and shot. However, each time he dies, he just comes back to life in another sequel.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/leprechaun-thumb-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-43014\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/leprechaun-thumb-1.jpg\" title=\"Leprechaun\" width=\"107\" height=\"107\" \/><\/a><strong>Leprechaun<\/strong> \u2013 Here&#8217;s another bloodthirsty ankle biter who can seemingly kill grown people with ease. This horror movie always made me laugh, mostly because it starred Jennifer Aniston running away from a tiny Irish death.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Strengths:<\/span> It always amazed me how Leprechaun and Chucky could take down full-grown victims. This seems like a pretty big strength.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Weaknesses:<\/span> Four-leaf clovers and giant explosions.<\/p>\n<div id=\"polls-321\" class=\"wp-polls\">\n\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Chucky vs. Leprechaun<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"polls-321-ans\" class=\"wp-polls-ans\"><ul class=\"wp-polls-ul\">\n\t\t<li>Chucky <small>(76%, 41 Votes)<\/small><div class=\"pollbar\" style=\"width: 76%;\" title=\"Chucky (76% | 41 Votes)\"><\/div><\/li>\n\t\t<li>Leprechaun <small>(24%, 13 Votes)<\/small><div class=\"pollbar\" style=\"width: 24%;\" title=\"Leprechaun (24% | 13 Votes)\"><\/div><\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Total Voters: <strong>54<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" id=\"poll_321_nonce\" name=\"wp-polls-nonce\" value=\"e2bece858f\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"polls-321-loading\" class=\"wp-polls-loading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-polls\/images\/loading.gif\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading ...\" title=\"Loading ...\" class=\"wp-polls-image\" \/>&nbsp;Loading ...<\/div>\n\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We had some really close match-ups over the weekend.
