Solid SnakeSolid Snake (Metal Gear) The further and further removed I get from the Metal Gear series' initial release, the more I realize how broad and overwrought the series is. This sort of 80s action film writing cloaked in a 90s video game science fiction rhetoric, however, only enhances the innate charisma of Solid Snake. Sometimes, characters can be relatively two-dimensional but cloaked in smoke and mirrors, narrative twists and swerves, that disguise the weaknesses and make the character appear compelling. Great serialized storytelling can help a character avoid overstaying their welcome and becoming stale. Snake never did become stale thanks to the bizarre eccentricities of Kojima's creative prowess, and I enjoy the character to this day. Rating: 82/100 Zigzagoon posted... ShushuShushu (One Piece) On paper, this character is actually wholly unremarkable aside from some of the worst fake barking an animated dog has ever uttered. Yet, somehow, I found Shushu to be slightly endearing despite bad voice acting and a brief story that disappeared after two or three episodes without any lingering consequence. The nature of One Piece demands that character with fewer appearances become more forgettable, but I've developed a kinship with Shushu thanks to a personal inside joke with a friend, and that allows Shushu to climb out of the purely apathetic hole in which he should be placed.
