Favorite characters, and beyond....

[Anomalocaris]

Private, then corporal, then lieutenant, then major, then finally lieutenant colonel Richard Sharp is a pretty cool character. Sean Bean's is good as Sharpe in his way, but does not do full justice to the character in the novel.

Steven Maturin and lieutenant, lieutenant commander, post captain and finally rear admiral jack Aubrey are also cool characters. However Russel Crowe and Paul bethney mutilated both the characters and the atmosphere. An atrocious lack of appreciation for the subtler qualities of the novels.

It's been a long time since I've read Catch-22 but I remember loving the characters in that. I found Rabbit Angstrom from 'Rabbit, Run' interesting too.

I liked the proxies from Ergo Proxy.


Monad Proxy:

I just finished watching Death Note and I liked the shinigami. I thought Rem was cool. While the forbidden / unrequited love thing is familiar I thought it worked into the story well:


Also, every time Ryuk snickered in the background it made me laugh

Shadow was cool and had an awesome theme too:


His wicked theme:

And, of course, Quina. It just says the funniest shit:


Here's a hilarious cosplay of it:

[Anomalocaris]

Vader.

After episodes 6, 1, 2, and 3, in that order, I can no longer think of the dark lord without thinking also of Dr. evil and mini me.

Picard.

Expressing his mature indignation after finding the DNA of one James Tiberius Kirk inside the only potential date during his entire captaincy.

[Gambit]

Grandpa from The Lost Boys


Jimmy Snuka


You gotta love any character with a fetish for cling-filming cats, and anyone else who gets in his way.



Ents, FTW

[Angrboda]

Kayako in Ju-On: The Grudge (2003)





And Rika.....

Although the series was excellent I just could not stomach Thomas Covenant.

One of the most annoyingly wishy washy characters of all time.

However, speaking of Michelle Yeoh....

[Napoléon]

Kevin.

Mameha- such an elegant business woman!!

[Kayenneh]

@Kichi: I just wish she could have been portrayed by a Japanese woman instead of a Chinese..




I can't help it. I fell in love with Alistair in DAO



G'Kar and Londo Mollari are my absolute favorites from Babylon 5. I absolutely hated G'Kar in the beginning, but he really grew as a person during the series. Londo on the other hand became more loathsome, but they both were excellently written. Not to mention all the comic relief they provided



His Dark Materials is my favorite book series and Lee Scoresby was just so cool. His daemon Hester wasn't half bad either.



When I read through the Harry Potters as a kid, I just thought that Dumbledore was superübercool. When I reread them as an adult, I realized so much better what he actually was about and appreciated him as a person, not quite as indestructible as I perceived him as a child, but as a human with faults too. Though, still really awesome..
