Top 5 (objectively and in order) Most Iconic Video Game Characters of all time according to me:
*By iconic, I mean the most famous, influential, popular, and recognizable video game characters in history, with the biggest brands outside of video games and can be be identified by most general audiences worldwide spanning all demographics. Agree/disagree? Why or why not? If not, who would be your top 5? I came so close to replacing Sonic with either Donkey Kong or Link, but I figured Sonic was perhaps a bit more recognizable and influential than those two, given the Sonic brand outside of video games (merch, media/entertainment, pop culture, etc.). Plus I figured more "outside-of-the-loop" audiences, like older generations and non-gamers, would still likely be able to at least identify who Sonic is over the other two, maybe. But idk.

Luigi doesn't belong there. Outside of people who are being too Internet, he's just a side character. The guy from Minecraft, Lara Croft, Doomguy, Halo bloke, Snake, Link, Samus, the fucking Tetris Block. They all outrank Luigi. --- 'Vinyl is the poor man's art collection'. 30-50% of those arrested at anti immigration protests in the UK have convictions for domestic abuse. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm only voting against Luigi just because including two characters from the same franchise is kinda lame. Replace him with John Halo and the list is perfect. --- Who is? I am! ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think the only arguable one on the list is Luigi. And even then, it probably is Weege --- ~snip (V)_(;,;)_(V) snip~ I'm just one man! Whoa! Well, I'm a one man band! https://imgur.com/p9Xvjvs ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm probably not hanging around the right people, but I feel like most of the non-gaming people I know would immediately recognize Donkey Kong, but not have any idea who Master Chief is. --- PTCGP Friend Code: 4495150926799691 (Goose) ... Copied to Clipboard!

Halo was the franchise that kicked off the huge popularity of console fps games, which is still the most popular video game genre out there. If it weren't for John Halo we'd still be playing platformers. --- Who is? I am! ... Copied to Clipboard!
