This probably isn't the full entire list... But there is a good number of characters here that are definitely favorites of mine. I think right now I'm just going to post about 5 since it is Top 5 Friday... But I watch a lot of tv,and I've seen a lot of movies and read a lot of books... So there will always be more. Lol.
First I want to mention my favorite television character of all time: Gob Bluth. I love Arrested Development obviously and all of the Bluths could be mentioned in this... But Gob is totally what got me to love this show. He's just so strange and funny that he really isn't like any other character on television. He's wacky like Kramer, but not quite as smart. He's kind of dumb and a womanizer like Joey Tribianni, but he's not as dumb and he's got a lot more sadness in him. He's just funny all around and Will Arnett played him to a perfection!
Next I have to mention my other favorite tv character: Ron Swanson. All of the Pawnee residents are amazingly hilarious, but Ron Swanson is the clear winner there! Again, there are no characters on tv that are like Ron Swanson and he's just the best on all the shows. Especially with his ex wives... He is just so funny!
Mia Thermopolis has also always been one of my favorite characters and a character I really think has taught me a lot about life and has sort of created me as a person. I feel like my life would be a lot different and I would be a much different person if I hadn't started reading these books. Now that I'm reading them as an adult too, I'm loving noticing how strong she is and she is really just a powerful person all around. Love this book, cannot get enough!
I also have to mention Amy Elliot Dunne...not that I would necessarily agree that she is a good person but as a character she is one of the most interesting. In general the story is just so detailed and layered but really Amy made Gone girl into the story that it is and it's awesome and probably the best book ever. Mad props to Gillian Flynn for creating such an amazing and detailed character to say the least.
And last but certainly not least I'm going to cheat and mention 2 people because I really kind of hate one of them... But the other makes me like him. It's Walter White and Jesse Pinkman. Walter White is a very bad man and in the final season of the show, he was downright despicable but his relationship with Jesse always kind of made him human. I was very concerned with Jesse throughout the show and I knew (spoilers) that Walter would die and he had to and I was happy he did... But if Jesse had died I probably would have lost it. I kind of wonder what Jesse is up to now. I like to think that that fantasy of him doing woodworking wasn't just a fantasy and that it was an actual flash forward and now Jesse is sober and away from that life and maybe he even has a wife and son and he maybe built the sons nursery himself or something. This show is also amazing because from our first encounter with Walt and Jesse together, you kind of have to hate Jesse and feel bad for Walt. Jesse is this asshole who was failing Walt's Chemistry class, yet somehow has an amazing car with a vanity license plate and Walt has to wash it because he needs to work at a car wash just to earn a little extra money. And then at the end of the series, I hated Walt so very much and I just wanted Jesse to have the best life he possibly could. It's kind of amazing!
So that is it for my top 5 (or 6) Friday and yeah. More of these to come!
Byeeeee!
