Buffy the Vampire Slayer!!!

[next_to_normal]

- The first character I fell in love with: Spike, maybe? This is actually hard, because my initial reaction is kind of a blur and I don't remember who I got attached to first!
- The character who is my ‘baby’: Buffy. See icon.
- The character who I do not understand: Faith. It is just impossible for me to get into her head-space (which is why I rarely wrote her).
- The character that I think the show ruined: Giles. I'm sure some of it was necessitated by ASH wanting to spend more time in England, but between the OOC decisions and dumb subplots and disappearing for half the season, s6 and s7 were not kind to Giles.
- The most attractive male and female character: Spike and Cordelia
- The character death that was the worst for me: Joyce, not for her so much as because the impact on Buffy and the other characters was so devastating.
- The character that is the most like me: Dawn, probably.
- The character I think the writer(s) love: Haha, depends on the writer. I feel like Willow is pretty loved across the board, though?
- The character that I just want to be happy: Buffy. She deserves it after all she's been through.
- My four favorite characters, past or present: Buffy, Spike, Dawn, Anya
- My four least favorite characters, past or present: (Excluding villains, because that's too easy!) Riley, Kennedy, Xander, Angel

West Wing!

[next_to_normal]

- The first character I fell in love with: I don't know if I can narrow it down to one! I fell in love with them as a ~team.
- The character who is my ‘baby’: CJ and Josh
- The character who I do not understand: Mandy
- The character that I think the show ruined: Toby, with the leak.
- The most attractive male and female character: Sam and Ainsley
- The character death that was the worst for me: Leo, because it was also John Spencer's.
- The character that is the most like me: LOL I wish it were CJ but it's probably Margaret.
- The character I think the writer(s) love: Josh
- The character that I just want to be happy: The Bartlets
- My four favorite characters, past or present: CJ, Josh, President Bartlet, Toby
- My four least favorite characters, past or present: Mandy, Angela Blake, Ryan, Kate

Veronica Mars

[next_to_normal]

- The first character I fell in love with: Veronica
- The character who is my ‘baby’: Veronica
- The character who I do not understand: Jackie
- The character that I think the show ruined: Cassidy/Beaver
- The most attractive male and female character: Troy and Veronica
- The character death that was the worst for me: Huh. This show doesn't really have upsetting character deaths. Both Beaver's and Meg's deaths frustrate me, but more because of how they ruined the characters beforehand. Does Deputy Sacks in the movie count?
- The character that is the most like me: Mac, maybe?
- The character I think the writer(s) love: Dick
- The character that I just want to be happy: Veronica
- My four favorite characters, past or present: Veronica, Logan, Mac, Keith
- My four least favorite characters, past or present: Duncan, Woody, Harmony, Hannah

Being Erica, yo.

[next_to_normal]

- The first character I fell in love with: Erica
- The character who is my ‘baby’: Kai
- The character who I do not understand: Jenny
- The character that I think the show ruined: Ethan. In season 1, I was all for him and Erica getting together, but then once they did, he became a douche.
- The most attractive male and female character: Kai and Erica
- The character death that was the worst for me: Wait, does anyone actually die over the course of the series? Obviously Leo is a big one in the past, and there's the suggestion that Erica is/would have been dead in the future.
- The character that is the most like me: Erica
- The character I think the writer(s) love: Adam, though I can't for the life of me understand why.
- The character that I just want to be happy: Erica
- My four favorite characters, past or present: Erica, Kai, Julianne, Cassidy
- My four least favorite characters, past or present: Adam, Friedken, Josh, Brent

I can't think of another show we share right now that I actually want to think about, so how about MCU? Including X-Men, and, if you want, Fantastic Four :D

[next_to_normal]

Heh, I suppose it is kind of like a really expensive TV show that only airs one or two episodes a year sporadically?

Alas, the only X-Men movie I've seen is First Class, so I don't think I'm qualified to judge that side of the universe, lol.

- The first character I fell in love with: Tony. In the TRAILER. Like, I did not even see the movie yet and I was already in love. Keeping in mind that I had zero exposure to Marvel prior to seeing Avengers, I knew pretty much nothing about any of the characters or the movie except that Joss was directing it. And then the Avengers trailer came out and Tony was all snarky and I loved him.

- The character who is my ‘baby’: Steeeeeeeeeeve. He's the kind of character for whom "I want to wrap him up in a blanket and cuddle him" was invented. The whole "man out of time" thing gets me. He's ALL ALONE and SAD.

- The character who I do not understand: Clint, I guess? Since we know next to nothing about him. (Although in my head I usually transpose Fraction!Hawkeye's backstory and personality onto him.)

- The character that I think the show ruined: I think Marvel's actually done really well by the characters, even when they take major liberties with comics canon (i.e. the Mandarin in IM3, which I thought was fantastic). Oh. Wait. Can I put the entire Fantastic Four here? Because those movies were... yeesh. Not sorry they're remaking them.

- The most attractive male and female character: Steve and Natasha, although let's be honest, they are all exceptionally attractive people whom I would not kick out of bed.

- The character death that was the worst for me: Hmmm. It's hard because no one really STAYS dead. Bucky's is pretty sad, though, even knowing he'll be back. GAH Steve crying, not able to get drunk, breaks me.

- The character that is the most like me: Pepper, probably?

- The character I think the writer(s) love: Loki, given how many times he's come back, although I'm sure that's also because the fans love Hiddles.

- The character that I just want to be happy: Bruce. Because if he's happy, that means he's not angry. :)

- My four favorite characters, past or present: Tony, Steve, Natasha, Darcy

- My four least favorite characters, past or present: Ivan Vanko, Sharon Carter (mostly because she seemed shoehorned in and didn't do much), Odin, uh... does Agents of SHIELD count? Because Ward, definitely.

[rosaxx50]

It's kind of like Sherlock with its few episodes, right? Steve and Tony... I'm surprised how much I like both. And ITA, Marvel's done really well by their characters - film'verse at least.

although let's be honest, they are all exceptionally attractive people whom I would not kick out of bed.

TRUTH.

I don't watch AoS so I have no idea who Ward is

[next_to_normal]

I am surprised at how much I like Steve. Not so much Tony, because snarky, self-destructive asshole is sort of my jam (Spike, Logan Echolls, Damon Salvatore, etc.). But Steve kind of snuck up on me, because his flaws and damage are less immediately noticeable, lol.

I think putting him and Tony together helped, because the clashing of personalities is so interesting, and brings out Steve's... ah, less honorable qualities. :)
