rukaio101 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I'll admit I don't think of popularity/fame much when I pick 'Top Characters'. I pick characters who have a notable, recognisable personality and are likeable or enjoyable to watch because of that personality. And how well they're acted also plays a part. Of course, there's quite a large overlap as characters who are popular and recognisable are so because of those reasons. I agree with most of your list of those who shouldn't be there though (although I haven't seen Green Mile or Basic Instinct), apart from Gollum (who is very memorable, interesting and well acted/rendered), Hal (for being one of the all time great movie villains), The Bride (for the interesting journey of vengeance her character goes through) and Gromit (because for a silent lump of clay, he has an amazing amount of character to him. Although, I'll admit I've always been a huge fan of the straight man (and I use that in reference to his comedic role, not sexuality)). And I really didn't think Tinkerbell should've been on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalo Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Great Work chasmmi, only Sad, McGregor's Kenobi didn't make the Top Hundred, and I must say Indiana Jones is a Good character, but number one? I don't really understand that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peludo Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I usually don't get too excited about the results to these votes because after running a few of them, I know how they work. I am more impressed by the amount of work that the people running them go through to present the results. Chasmmi did a wonderful job. However, some of the character that made the list and some that missed it are surprising. When I think of a top character, I think of a character that is easily recognizable and very famous. Some of the characters that made the list are surprising because I don't think of them like that. Some that I was shocked at seeing are: - Gollum -that's a top character? The most complex character in LOTR and with decisive influence in plot solving. Surprise me that you do not consider Gollum famous. I think the Gollum we have seen in LOTR movies has become an iconical character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did mean it in my little round up blurb that I think Serkis' perfermance may well have been the most important voice acting role since Robin Williams played Genie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punishment Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I got about 13 or 14 lists in total which I was pretty happy about considering I haven't done of these lists before and nobody knows if I'll do a decent job of things or not The results are in and you've earned an A+! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Futurist Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 lol at people doubting Katniss won't end as one the most iconic female characters in cinema history. It will boils down to Ripley & katniss. End of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
