The3rdChildren Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 This one is real simple. Just list off a few of your favourite casts of characters in a movie, show, game, comic or whatever and then say why you like them. I'll go first. DragonBall Z, created by Akira Toriyama has one of the most unique and likeable casts of any story I have ever seen/read. From the offensive Mr. Popo and Guldo who can freeze time by holding his breath to the Saiyans who can transform into giant monkeys because of their tails it all just screams unique creativity. Toriyama creates the best characters by far. People shit on DBZ's drawn-out battles, but what is undeniable is the great cast. --- So anyone else got a cast of characters they particularly like?
demonmike04 Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Buffy season 7 cast, gotta love em. 2 sexy chicks, 1 slayer, 1 comedian, 1 moderately hot red head and the biggest geek in the universe. Brilliant.
Stocka Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Totally agree with you on Dragonball Z. There's at least one character for anyone to like.
Dan_Dare Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Buffy season 7 cast, gotta love em. 2 sexy chicks, 1 slayer, 1 comedian, 1 moderately hot red head and the biggest geek in the universe. Brilliant. Moderate? she's gorgeous! I'm going to go with Firefly. Everyone in it is just sublime. Joss Whedon is a brilliant character writer.
Caris Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Tom and Jerry. Everyone loves them, theres just something about them.
gaggle64 Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Cowboy Bebop is great, all space bounty hunters and jazzy hands kung-fu. You got Jet, Jet Black, ex-cop with a bionic arm. Big. Braw. A real hard man, except when he's not cooking or cleaning or generally looking after the rest of the gang. I like that mix. he also has a collection of bonsai trees. Then there's Faye Valentine, easily the sexiest gambling addict this side of Jupiter, a trickster with a troubled, distant past she cannot remember. Then there's Ed, full name Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV, pre-pubescent computer prodigy and an endless source of quirky wisdom ("If you see a stranger: follow him!") Ed is also a girl. Constructed her own computer from scratch, and coded her own OS, which seems to be based on fish. And there's Ein. He's a Welsh corgi, an experimental breed of "data dog" blessed with super intelligence and mad PC skillz thanks to a chip implant. Oh, and there's Spike Spiegel. But I don't like him. He's a whiny little bitch.
Stocka Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 And Buu is one of the best enemy I've seen. Only one enemy can win that award The Freeza/Namek saga has always been my favourite
Monopolyman Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 The Simpsons, being an obvious one, because, well, it wouldn't be the most popular show ever made without a great range of characters. For films... Pulp Fiction (A God-fearing badass muthafucker, an passive, drug taking, atheist mobster; an over-confident bitch, hot-headed boxer, 'The Wolf', to name a few), Reservior Dogs (Two psychos, one a cool, another loud with a short temper; a hard but level-headed gangster, a cop, and a bunch of other gangsters), American Beauty (A man in a mid-life crisis, bitch of a wife, vengeful teenage daughter, her slutty friend, a creepy, perverted neighbor; and a fag hating col. who takes his position too seriously), The lesser known Glengarry Glen Ross (All scum of the earth real estate agants, one similar to 'Gil' from The Simpsons) Also, Knights of the Old Republic. They're annoying, but still OK. Theres Carth (suspicious sod), Bastilla (hard-up bitch), HK...(Awesome killing machine), Jolee (Sam L. Jackson meets Morgan Freeman), etc. etc.
Caris Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 For films, Toy Story. Come on, Everyone loves Ham the pig.
Shino Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Only one enemy can win that award The Freeza/Namek saga has always been my favourite It was a nice arc, but Freeza sucks in every way compared to the black hole of insanity that is Kid Buu. Look at him, so evil and mentally deranged. I wanna hug him.
The Bard Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Chrono Trigger, first and foremost....It's just, you love them...and you can't stop!! Every single character from that game was so well balanced, you'd swear they were real people... Then Scrubs, Dragonball Z, Stargate SG-1 (C'mon, everyone loves Teal'c!! :p) Final Fantasy 7...which kinda sounds cliche, but yeah, the characters we're part of what made the game so damn awesome... Also; yeah, Kid Buu does kinda kick Friezas ass...the best "bad" guys were undoubtedly Nappa and Vegita...or the whole of the Android Cast (including Cell...)
Bren Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Family guy has an ace cast. The pirate made of wood, greased up deaf guy and cant forget quagmire. DBZ, i used to watch that all the time, piccolo for the win
EEVILMURRAY Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Outlaw Star cast! As for the Dragonball Z enemy debate. Cell is king.
demonmike04 Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Im with Shino for this one. Buu rocked. Outlaw Star? Fucking hell, I havent watched that in a while!
Shino Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Going on with the comedy cartoons, South Park has a sweeeeet cast.
Kurtle Squad Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Naruto!!! Anyone who's favourite characters doesn't include a character from that is insane. With sucha range of character there are going to be ones you like and a few you don't like. Like: The 3rd, Shikamaru, Chouji, Jiraiya, 'The lucky rain guys' Not like: Sasuke
DanielTimothy Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Yeah, Cell was the best enemy. Piccalo (sp?) my favourate character. I'll get flammed for this, but at the moment I'm loving Naruto for characters.
Supergrunch Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Hmm... I'm going to go with Mai HiME... I thought it was really cool how there were 13 different HiMEs, each with a different attitude to their powers.
Shorty Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Like: The 3rd, Shikamaru, Chouji, Jiraiya, 'The lucky rain guys'Not like: Sasuke Where are Kakashi, Gaara, Tsunade, Gamakichi, Hinata, Rock Lee (etc)? o_o But yeah, Naruto has an awesome cast.
Bogbas Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Well stargåte sg1 has some great characters. The whole sg1 team. And on the ninth season the first few episodes would be pretty boring without Vala. Then there's atlantis which has McKay And Macgyver should also be mentioned.
