    Marv from Home Alone. ''The Wet Bandits''. That's genius.

    Frankenstein's creature. Might have otherwise said the Hulk, but why not go to the source? A seminal character if ever there was one.

    Zaphod Beeblebrox. He's just zis guy, you know?

    What character do you like the most, from anything - Film, Books, TV, Video games etc ?

    It's a tough question.

    But seeing as I just got up to date with Breaking Bad, I'm going to say Walter "Heisenberg" White. He's a good guy doing bad things for his family. Honestly there could be easily 100 more I could choose.

    Walter White is a villain. There can't be any dispute anymore after the most recent season

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    So many! Omar Little, Larry David, David Brent...

    My #1 probably has to be:

    Randy Marsh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,532 ✭✭✭WolfForager


    Rand Al'Thor

    Atticus Finch. Literally, integrity personified.

    The names Bond........... James Bond

    On tv, I'd go for Jimmy Mcnulty/Omar Little. Dick Winters also sticks out but I'm not sure if he'd count seeing as he was a real person.
    Honourable mention for Bishop Len Brennan!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,234 ✭✭✭Ardennes1944


    i didnt think anyone else wouldve had him but the post above does!

    Major Dick Winters (RIP) played by Damien Lewis in Band of Brothers

    The way he ended up murdering his son ruined Heisenberg for me.
    When???

    He's an antihero. Like Al Swearengen or Tony Soprano.

    Oh yeah. Al would be my favourite TV character of all time.

    GLaDOS from Portal. Best villian character from a game ever imo. :)

    This thread is far too broad to be a decent read. Still though, here's my 2 cents:
    Film: Tyler Durden, Lester Burnham, Derek Vinyard, Patrick Bateman, R.P. McMurphy, Colonel Kurtz.

    Cartoon: Randy Marsh, Bender (Futurama).

    T.V: Cosmo Kramer, Larry David, Johnny Drama.
    And, of course, The Viper :cool:

    I see Omar from The Wire gets a few mentions and rightly so.

    But I thought Chris and Snoop as the serial killers have to get a mention.

    CJ Cregg-The West Wing. By far the best female character on TV and good chance of being the best overall.

    Hang on: Actually it's Ron Swanson from Parks and Recreation. If only those two bred the superchild they would have..
