  • Megan from Bridesmaids totally stole every scene she was in for me. Such a fun chaotic character.

    Not sure if this counts but Elizabeth from Bioshock Inifite was such a better and more interesting character than Booker. She’s not playable so I figure she’s a side character even if the entire plot of the game revolves around her.

    Also not sure if it counts but Toph from Avatar the Last Airbender is one of my favorite characters in any medium. She’s not introduced until partway through season 2 (why she may count) but is part of the core group of main characters (why she might not count).

















  • This doesn’t answer your question but is more of an interesting observation that fits your question. It seems bar for political leaders’ mistakes has gotten so low over the pass few decades.

    In the early 90s then VP Dan Quayle misspelled potato (though apparently not 100% his fault) and he was labeled an idiot by the entire country. Bush had a lot of funny Bushisms but most are either weird, poorly worded, malapropisms, or a mix of all three.

    Then you have Trump. And while there are definitely people who think he’s an idiot, it doesn’t seem as widespread of a belief as it was for Quayle or Bush. I think part of it is because Trump is far more sensitive to criticism than any president we’ve seen so he’ll go after people who say anything negative about him. But I’m sure there are other reasons as well (ex: politicized news channels, social media, technology etc)
