is the fan-favorite of the entire cast. The one people always are like "god, I love this character." Most of the time, they aren't the main character, but a side-character people grow attached to. Obviously, in girl-centric shows, a girl naturally will probably fill that spot (although I do notice any guy on these type of shows get a disproportionate amount of love). In a lot of shows, sitcom, drama, live-action, cartoon, where it's a mix of genders, I feel people gravitate towards a guy character as their favorite. Please don't take this thread as a "guys>girls" thread I would like an opinion on why this tends to be the case. I can think of two: there is a layer of sexism which I will explain later and that the guys get the better lines/zingers/jokes. First part is sexism, we all are aware of the double-standard of guys vs. girls. I just have finished the first 4 seasons of BB, and I never once saw the outrageous thing Skyler did so far to make her so hated. As a matter of fact, I think of another fan-favorite character, Mike, who one can maybe describe as "hard-shell but with a heart of gold inside" as far as a show like BB is concerned. I find generally, people will not describe a female character that way; if she is externally mean but nice inside, we have a 5-letter word to describe her that starts with B. I believe, many aren't actively trying to hate on women, but there is perhaps some layers of subconsious misogynistic feelings that others will face. The second big reason is that generally, depending on the genre, the guy characters always get the best lines/scenes. If it's a comedy, they are getting the funniest lines (whereas the woman merely are tools to set-up the joke) or doing the funniest things. If it's action, the guys are looking tough and overall, cool. The big reason this seems to be the case is that society generally allows guys to act dumb and get away with it. Not to mention, every scene they do isn't being leered at by people trying to analyze any sexual bit of content they can get out of it (not in a humorful way, but like, guys being desperate for anything). It's a strange conundrum; are there any additional reasons for the 2nd point, or any additional reasons at all? Even looking at video-games, it's quite ironic how one of the most beloved women is Samus Aran, the generally quiet protagonist. Beyond that, the other fan-favorite women in gaming are strictly the super-sexualized characters. --- Number of legendary 500 post topics: 34, 500th posts: 32; PiO ATTN: 6 RotM wins 1, LETTEN MY ARROW FLYEN TRUE ...

The Expanse. Pick your flavor, the ladies of the show are pretty fantastic characters, with only one or two guys really holding a candle in the fandoms eyes. For good reason. --- the real Irving Rameses http://i.imgur.com/A7f6F9h.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

Superstore could be argued for this on two levels. The main characters, who aren't funny. And the secondary characters who serve as the comic relief. Amy > Jonah Dina >= Garrett IMO, Dina and Garrett really carry the show. The store manager is just annoying enough to be unpleasant, but not detestable. Witty writing saves his piss-poor performance. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Couple of Power Rangers seasons might contenders. Time Force has Jen. Samurai and Megaforce have Lauren and Gia...but those two are more of a "diamond in the rough" kinda deal since most people think those seasons are trash. >_> And honestly an argument could almost be made for Kimberly. Tommy is the clear winner from the early seasons but Kim is usually highly regarded among the "core" cast. Over on the Sentai side of things, worth noting that the Kiramager villainess Yodonna was a bit of a breakout fan favorite, at least from what I can tell. She even got a short spin-off on Toei's streaming site lol --- Lusa Cfaad Taydr ... Copied to Clipboard!

The Good Place Firefly It's pretty new and she's only in one episode, but I wouldn't be surprised if Death's popularity in the comics doesn't translate into the Sandman show. Olivia Benson is probably the general favorite character on SVU. And given that it's the most popular one, she's probably the general favorite in L&O in general. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood has a good number of great female characters, it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of people's favorite characters are Hawkeye, Olivier, etc. Mikasa and Hange are really popular in Attack on Titan. --- http://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif http://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif http://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif So?

It's actually surprising because they call her out for acting stupid (and then the whole last episode before the finale pack too), which I usually feel people enjoy more. I don't know, I like her a lot, she's in contention for my favorite character, but I am actually quite surprised to see how she gets the video-essays about how she is the worst character in all of fiction. --- Number of legendary 500 post topics: 34, 500th posts: 32; PiO ATTN: 6 RotM wins 1, LETTEN MY ARROW FLYEN TRUE ...
