This Hollywood Chris Had The Best Year & No One Can Fight It

Designed by Janet Sung.
2018 was a big year for the Hollywood Chrises. If you’re new to the planet (welcome!), that means Chris Pratt, Chris Evans, Chris Pine, and Chris Hemsworth. Attractive, affable and conventionally amusing, these four men have come to symbolize all that is good.
And even in these trying times, they delivered. They gave us full-frontal nudity, superhero drama, fun Twitter exchanges, memorable sartorial choices, and some pretty killer dancing. One of them even came back from the dead!
Still, the trouble in ranking the Chrises (though many have tried) is that they are inherently defined by their identity as a unit. They each have some individual quirks that make them their own specific brand of Chris, but none of those have thus far been more powerful than the overarching brand that is The Chrises.

But who says it has to stay that way? What if there really was one Chris to rule them all? One who could lead us into what will hopefully be a brighter, 2019 future? Imagine what a world that would be!
