Entry 15: Characters

Some of the fictional characters I like are (the order does not matter) Spongebob Squarepants and Squidward Tentacles from the cartoon TV series Spongebob Squarepants, Mojo Jojo and basically all the villains in PowerPuff Girls (I love Him too, he is hilarious), Joker from Batman, Forrest Gump from the movie, Willy Wonka from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and etc.
Spongebob, even though seems very absurd, is appealing to people because the fact that he is a sponge is very different, he is nice but he enjoys playing pranks on others, and he is very emotional and funny.
Squidward on the other hand is almost the opposite of Spongebob. He is grumpy, sarcastic, and narcissistic. The audience can relate to him because no matter how hard he tried, he never really becomes an artist or musician as he wished, and he hates his job.
Mojo Jojo is probably one of the best villains. He rumbles to himself a lot and has a distinctive accent.
Joker is a great villain because he is just as psychopathic as can be.
Forrest Gump may not be as intelligent as other people, but he somehow survives even better than others. He came across many important events in American history without really knowing what's going on. He is an adorable character with a lot of ridiculous luck.
Willy Wonka and the whole chocolate factory are just crazy.
I like characters that are different. That's why I have a thing for villains, because they come in all shapes. I never really find love in protagonists that are too nice or perfect. They are cliche and boring. Anti-heroes are more interesting because they have flaws just like everyone else. And I'm fond of insane characters, psychopathic or other types of mental illness. Most characters I like also make me laugh heartily.
