Does Anyone Know What Happened to Legendary's March Madness Character Competition?

I apologize in advance if this is a repeat topic. I haven't seen any topics about it, but if it needs to be locked as a repeat and/or this question has been answered elsewhere, so be it.

The title sums it up basically. 

During March Madness, Legendary's Facebook page was running a bracket where people could vote for their favorite Legendary characters to advance to the next round. 

They got down to the Final 4 (Godzilla 2014 being one of the four), and then I haven't heard or seen anything more about it. 

When googling it, all the twitter and facebook pages that were previously associated with the contest say they are no longer available. 

Does anybody have any more information about what happened or why? Did they just cancel it because it was taking too long to tally votes? Fraud? Lack of interest? 

I don't know exactly, I was having fun following it, then it just disappeared, and I was curious to see if anyone actually knew anything about it. 

Thank you for your time and assistance!

yep, just checked and you're right. there are no march madness competition posts on legendary anymore. could it be the ncaa had an issue with them using "final four" because I know in the newsrooms you are prohibited from having that as actual text, super strict stuff.

 

this used to be one of the status updates on the marchmadness competition from legendary, youll see its missing now:

I highly doubt Batman would have won the votes. In every posting I saw, even if he wasn't involved in the matchup, I'd see posts like "Does it really matter? Godzilla would waste all of these guys", "LOL Godzilla's gonna win in the end anyways".

Godzilla was the majority favorite.

that's because those were in Godzilla's fights. If you looked at Batman's fights, they basically said the same thing about batman like "batman would waste these guys. batman always wins" every round he was in, like Godzilla. But we will never know who wouldve topped in the godzilla vs batman round, they mysteriously just removed everything relating to it.

That's what I was saying though, even in fights where Godzilla wasn't involved, people were still saying he was going to win it in the end.

Huh, I didn't even stop to think it might have been legal/copyright issue. I have heard that the NCAA can be be ruthless about that kind of stuff.

I do wish Legendary would say something about to confirm at least some type of explanation. But I guess on any list of things it wouldn't be considered a 'big deal'. I am stoked for advance purchase tickets :-) :-) :-)

@DANNYBLAZOR Yeah, I originally thought it was going to be a 100% popularity contest, and that's how it would have ended. 

Then the whole 'Alan beat Zod' thing happened. I still have trouble swallowing the legitimacy of that, but it renewed my engagement in the contest with a 'anything can happen' sort of spirit. Then the contest vanished :-(

When I last saw any news on it it was godzilla vs allan from The Hangover and it looked like godzilla was going to win overwhelmingly

I don't believe it has anything to do with an NCAA rights issue. Dozens of people are always using a March Madness bracket for fun purposes. Now if Legendary created the contest one theory could be that maybe Godzilla was going to get trounced by Batman and the studio wanted to avoid any embarrassment. It's more likely that someone at Legendary dropped the ball and forgot about the contest.

The March Madness battle was already one-sided in Godzilla's favor anyway. He could plow through Nolan's Batman no problem at all.

Heck, even Facebook (which is known for it's stupidity) is smart enough to know that it was one-sided.
