I really don't know Jack

In the end, don't we all not know Jack?

Anyways, I'll agree with Low Fodder for Cookie, but barely. Realistically, I'd expect the Jackbox series to have a horribly low playrate outside of B8, and an even lower proportion of voters who would vote for the host of certain individual games, one who's unseen besides on the various title screens (or at least I think it's Cookie shown on them). I honestly believe he'd have been LAW Fodder this time last year, but external circumstances have probably given him and his series a noticeable leg up since then, even on a site which barely plays multiplayer games without huge brands.

I'll also agree with Mid Fodder for Mr. X and Low Fodder for Dimentio, whose game has aged gracefully among a subset of its players as opposed to the whole set it would need to produce a Mid Fodder or better original character.

As for Godzilla, I'm still going to side with Mid Fodder. I admit that he does look quite out of place among that rank, but I'd argue that's solely because of his outsized (har) pop-cultural prominence in general, much less by Mid Fodder standards. Otherwise, he has a more severe version of the Doctor Doom syndrome: plenty of exposure, but no reason for voters to actually care other than simple name/pic value. The recent movies sure didn't provide that, nor did a game that barely makes the top 100 in terms of total ratings among GameCube games and has an average rating below 7/10. The 1998 movie was a very big deal and came out at a perfect time, and it absolutely would have provided that if it was even ironically well-liked, but instead it was so bad Toho disowned its take on Godzilla. The Toho movies likely have good watchrates by foreign-language standards, but that's not saying much really. Ultimately, Jurassic Park was infinitely bigger for GameFAQs than anything Godzilla's ever been in, so I don't think it's too wild to say one giant lizard (even though T-rexes aren't truly lizards) is on a similar level to the other here.

I've been collecting a list of previously unnominated characters for a little while, but there's one I'm going to have to rush because we've somehow, someway completely and entirely missed it for over 390 days. That, of course, is the Chocobo, originally from Final Fantasy II. I know it's not a 'true' character, but what and how the heck?

I'll also third the B.O.W., Firebrand, Frankenstein, Ghost Rider, Nathan Spencer, and Tron Bonne nominations.
