----------------------------------

tbh this list was surprisingly pretty good. Very diverse. Again, though, it feels like mostly a popularity contest (not without reason of course), but it does a good job of gathering pretty much everyone who would be expected on a list like this and putting them on there

Obviously I have disagreements with the list (as I'm sure you do as well), it's a lot better than I thought it was going to be

Although some of the bigger issues:

- Batman at number 1. Nah
- Buffy at 3. Shouldn't be that high, but at least she's on here in a great spot
- The Doctor at 4. Biased since I'm not a fan of Doctor Who and have pretty much no experience with it
- Harry Potter at 8. Way too high
- Yuna at 63. Shouldn't be on this list
- Lack of Goku
- Lack of TMNT
- Lack of Hannibal Lecter
- Lack of Jekyll and Hyde
- Lack of Jack Sparrow
- Lack of Bender
- Lack of Tyler Durden
- Lack of Gatsby
- Lack of Terminator
- Lack of Napoleon Dynamite
- Lack of Spongebob
- Lack of Rocky
- Lack of Santa Claus
- Lack of Ezio
- Lack of the Cheshire Cat
- Lack of Marty McFly or Doc Brown
- Lack of Michael and Vito Corleone
- Lack of Tony Montana
- Lack of Mr. Miyagi
- Lack of Forrest Gump

Then again, it's "of all time" so I guess me only really being exposed to pop culture from recent years has a big bias as well, and my picks might not necessarily be huge fan favorites, or at least not enough to crack this list

Overall, again, the list is better than I thought it'd be, but there will obviously be disappointments and disagreements with the final product

I really think these type of lists should be titled as "favorites," but that probably doesn't rake in view counts or anything

I must now make my own

[Redhollowlives999]

Black Dynamite didn't come up in the Find bar, so I already disapprove

[Zup]

Well he's not exactly high up there on most peoples' personal lists, and when you take into account that it covers all of fiction it makes sense that he's not

Although there are some on there that I question, but I'm not part of their fandoms or anything so w/e

[Redhollowlives999]

They put batman at no. 1



I disapprove....

[Zup]

I expected him to be there, especially when I saw that Superman was number 2

I guess Nolan REALLY brought Batman popularity way up. All the Batman lovin' was nowhere near this level a few years ago. At least I don't remember it being so

But w/e. Still a pretty good choice, even if I disagree with it

[Rammerrush]

the the the the YES CLOUD IN THE TOP FIFTY!


Oh and what do you know, Sephy is nowhere to be found

[Zup]

Cloud's lame

[Redhollowlives999]

Cloud's lame

Sephiroth was better than Cloud. If Cloud was able to get in, then Sephiroth should have gotten on years before.

[Zup]

Cloud's lame

Sephiroth was better than Cloud.

No he wasn't

If Cloud was able to get in, then Sephiroth should have gotten on years before.

Cloud is infinitely more iconic on an overall fictional character scale

[Rammerrush]

Oh yeah I'm willing to overlook Zup's insult to Cloud because he proved my point ^.^
