Phil Connors (Groundhog Day)Likely my favorite Bill Murray character of all time, the development of Phil Connors from a disaffected white guy who cares about nothing to a disaffected white guy who cares about... a few things is one of the more captivating stories from 90s cinema. Rating: 88/100 Underleveled posted... Dr. Zoidberg (Futurama)Futurama sucks. So much so, in fact, that I have zero interest in explaining why because it irks me to even think about it. Rating: 23/100 Lolo_Guru posted... Elastigirl (The Incredibles)Elastigirl isn't even the best superhero named who has a name that starts with "elasti" and ends with "girl". Rating: 68/100 Anagram posted... Stilt-ManI desire nothing more than to rate the D-Lister villains from Marvel Comics, but the problem with most D-List villains is that I will likely rate them highly for capturing that wonderful Silver Age sensibility in design but dock them points for having very little personality or development. Luckily, Stilt-Man has resonated with a few creators over the years. The downside, of course, is that he's primarily played only for laughs. Still, Daredevil is one of the most intensely serious franchises in Marvel's catalog, so a bit of levity can go a long way with the Man without Fear.

Tidus, ffxI have my reservations with Tidus' complete lack of cultural sensitivity that borders on a very bizarre form of white tourist racism that you see when you travel to other countries and witness upper-middle class families loudly criticizing what, to them, appear to be various unimportant eccentricities. I find Tidus to be sort of a boob, although at least his intent is to break a convention he believes is detrimental to society. I just disagree with his opinion that he should have tuck his nose where it didn't belong. Rating: 61/100 Anagram posted... Dio (FF7)A character so utterly unimportant that I struggle to find anything worth saying about him. Gold Saucer is fine. Whatever. Rating: 50/100 Underleveled posted... Lily Adams (AT&T commercials)Characters from advertisements will always struggle to gain any sort of credibility with me. I don't get attached to companies and brands. That's just not my thing. At least not companies and brands that intentionally bilk consumers and try to nickel and dime them at every turn. Rating: 11/100 Lolo_Guru posted... Elliot (Pete's Dragon)A dopey-looking motherfucker who wasted 90 minutes of my life. Rating: 18/100 Xeybozn posted... Batman (The Lego Movie)I'm not actually a fan of this characterization of Batman. While I think Will Arnett performs excellently, there are often instances where it feels as if the writers are intentionally not understanding the character of Batman. He steps outside of the confines of superhero and becomes a bully. Batman does bully - don't get me wrong - but his hardened exterior is by design and for a reason. This Batman's foibles just don't jibe at all with the character. That's okay; the character is well-written. Just not well-written as Batman. Rating: 64/100 --- "It is too easy being monsters.

Hela (MCU version)Hela is easily one of my favorite Marvel villains in comics, so I had extremely high - nearly insurmountable - standards set for her portrayal on film. Cate Blanchett surpassed them and claimed my top spot in the MCU villain gauntlet. There's an intensity in Blanchett's every action that is both frightening and at the same time seductive. This unnamed quality really projects a godly flavor in every scene. Hela truly felt like an indomitable threat, one more than worthy to face the power of Thor. I think that's why I felt so flat about the very end of Ragnarok. What a waste of a perfect character. Rating: 97/100 Snake5555555555 posted... Batman (Earth-43) (DC Comics)It's always weird rating alternate universe versions of popular characters. Does the Red Rain Batman succeed as a character? Yes, but in Elseworlds, it's really rare to see the story be about the character so much as the concept. And naturally, you draw comparisons between the original and the doppelganger. So yes, in comparison, the vampire Batman falls flat, but he is adequate enough to carry the weight of a couple short mini-series. Rating: 58/100 MetalmindStats posted... Ephraim Winslow (The Lighthouse)The Lighthouse ended up being a bizarre but enjoyable film, and given its nature, the weight of that success falls entirely on two people. Would I say that either character are among my favorites for the year? No, but I still respect the work and value what the characters provided, which ended up being everything in that film. Rating: 72/100 Great_Paul posted... Lumiere (BatB)I've explained about 100 times in these topics why Lumiere is my favorite Disney character, and I think I'll pass on explaining it again! Rating: 96/100 Joelypoely posted... Roman Bellic (GTA IV)Let's go bowling! Roman is a sweet summer child forced into a cruel, callous world where people spend the majority of their time crashing into light poles on their daily trips to boardwalks and alleyways. The pudgier Bellic never deserved a lifetime of whiplash, both physical and emotional. Rating: 73/100 --- "It is too easy being monsters.

M. Bison (Street Fighter - Dictator not Boxer)Over-the-top and bright, the very design of Bison is vivid and striking. However, character design alone can't simply carry a character to a top tier rating. M. Bison's rare moments of characterization have been abysmal. Then again, when you're creating a fighting game, you rarely consider the eventual rise of importance in those pesky timesinks they call backstories. Rating: 54/100 hombad46 posted... Lord Ghirahim (Zelda)Acutely creepy for all of the wrong reasons, I find it difficult to stomach Ghirahim. That alone makes him a perfect antagonist for Link. Not every adversary has to fit into the Ganondorf mold in order to succeed in Zelda. Sometimes, sticking your tongue out at opportune moments is enough to propel you to Public Enemy #1. Rating: 68/100 Cybat posted... In honor of the Birds of Prey topicCassandra Cain, from 1999-2003, was a phenomenal character, a testament to the idea that innate goodness exists, that nature can overcome nurture. In a way, she was one of the most heroic characters in the Bat-Family by virtue of overcoming the shackles of a lifetime of intensely violent, dispassionate breeding. And her inability to speak caused artists to work overtime to present a compelling, deep character through facial expressions and body language. But ever since she began to talk, the character nosedived. It's been nearly twenty years since there was a good Cassandra Cain story. Still, those glory days were something to behold. Rating: 87/100 trdl23 posted... Bufkin (Fables)An annoying drunk monkey. I hate monkeys. They are the antithesis of funny. They embody humor for stupid people, the fanatics of cringe compilations and Youtube monetization friendly montages of nutshots. Rating: 27/100 Lolo_Guru posted... Rumplestiltskin (Once Upon a Time)The ultimate 80 out of 100. An entire show, poorly written as it was, devoted its seven seasons' worth of effort to make two characters compelling. One was Mister Gold, the other Regina Mills. Thus, on a series chock full of misfires, there were always two pillars of support propping up the rest of the mess.

Krypto the WonderdogSo I'm going to ignore the fact that you wrote Wonderdog, an entirely different character, and focus on the Krypto part. Like most people, I can get a little emotional at the story of Krypto just waiting for his dead Superboy to come home after Infinite Crisis. Krypto is a brilliant piece of Superman lore, one of the most long-enduring goofy pieces that has come to define the Man of Steel's legacy. You can't help but love when Krypto is mind-controlled and tears apart the Atom like a chewtoy. You can't help but root for Animal Man when he realizes that, as long as Krypto is nearby, he's just as strong as the Man of Tomorrow. And you can't help but want to punch Superboy-Prime in the face for kicking a damn dog. That's the power of canine counterparts in comics. Rating: 73/100 --- "It is too easy being monsters.

Mr. Wednesday (American Gods)A strong anchor to American Gods, Mister Wednesday is a crafty old codger with a penchant for reclaiming his throne as the rightful ruler of the gods. I can't rave enough about the book and also the first season of the show. Just the first season. Rating: 82/100 IfGodCouldDie posted... Mac(IASIP)Easily my least favorite of the cast. While I've only watched a handful of episodes, I do enjoy the tone of Always Sunny. However, something about the series never gets me excited to continue the show. I think it is something of an acquired taste. Rating: 56/100 Fastbreak posted... SpidermanSpider (HYPHEN) Man is a great character. A great character who, apparently, can't even command enough respect to get a majority of Board 8ers to spell his name right. For me, Spider-Man is a difficult character to rate. My real fondness for Spider-Man comes from Ultimate Spider-Man (the comic) first and foremost. In comics, Spider-Man tends to be rather whiny for long stretches and then quite madcap at other stretches. Annoyingly so. Maybe Spider-Man is the original case of bipolar disorder in comics. In any event, I still enjoy the aerodynamics of his abilities and the fact that he still feels like the only real New York superhero out of the ten trillion Marvel has turned out. Rating: 80/100 hombad46 posted... Anyway I'll make my next one Whisper A'DaireYes, I have a special fondness for Whisper A'Daire. Players in my DC-based RPG campaign will know that she has turned into this power-playing crafty bitch with a penchant to get under anyone's skin. In comics, she has a sultry seductiveness to her that I find appealing coupled with her power set, but Whisper is definitely an obscure super-minor character in reality. And I'm not going to rate her based on my stupid fanfic-y take, but rather the actual stories she's appeared in. Rating: 63/100 Snake5555555555 posted... Tony Montana (Scarface)I have never understood the appeal of Scarface. The film is over-the-top in all of the wrong ways, and I've never felt like it was anything other than a movie for tryhards to point to as their motivation for becoming hard men. It's a movie for wannabes and posers. And Al Pacino is adequate in the lead role. That doesn't mean the character is interesting. In fact, the character is rather average.
