As the title says. I want you guys to list and explain (short analysis can work to) character/s from tv shows/movies/books/anime/manga/comics etc etc where their major popularity actually made the series they are in a better one. Without ruining the other characters/stories/plots etc etc!

 

I made this thread because as we have all seen. This ruined Naruto. And many other medias out there. Where the writers catered to the fans. Without caring for the story etc.

 

I'll start! :D

 

Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer! Not many people know this. But he was only supposed to be in a few episodes, and then killed of. So Angel can take the top spot. But his character gained such popularity, in such a short time. That Josh and writers decided to keep him on. And that was amazing decision. In the longer run. Spike brought much complex feel/story line to the show. And it was done without taking crap on everything else. It just felt normal. Like his storyline was planned from the start!

Loki was so well received that (they could have killed at the end of the first Thor) that he would continue to be the villain in Avengers and an important character of Thor 2. His charm and wittiness made him the best marvel villain and one of the most complex and endearing character.

Easy example: Shadow the Hedgehog from the Sonic series.

 

Originally, Shadow wasn't supposed to return to the series after the ending of Adventure 2. But fans love the character so much, that he was revived for Heroes. That's the good part. Bad part was he was given his own game 2 years later and that was the start of the franchise's dark period.

Loki got such an unexpected amount of fans. That the writers wouldn't dare kill him of. And his char fits nicely and raises the quality of franchise, that it's a good decision!

 

I only watched a few episodes of Sonic years ago. But I remember catching one episode when the Shadow sacrificed himself (IIRC). And I thought he was an awesome/cool character! :sweat:

 

 

Sheldon Cooper from TBBT! Originally only supposed to be minor character. Yet due to the amount of fans, his popularity was enormous. This turned out to be the good thing. Since his character started driving the series! And was the main reasons for shows success!

 

Tho the show degraded a lot since then due to the writing!

TV show: daryl dixon from the walking dead.

 

twd is adapted from the original comic and i heard there's no character called daryl, but norman reedus (the actor) did so well in his audition that he managed to convince the producers to let him act as a tv-original character, and he acted his part so well that he quickly became a viewer favorite, a rude, red-neck, foul mouth, but soft hearted badass :excited: . as of season 6 he became one of the most important characters

 

 

Anime: Gintama

 

gintama is an anime that break it's fourth wall more often than it should, and one arc used it's popularity poll to show the ugly, competitive sides of the characters, either trying to cope with their low popularity and low self esteem, or trying to escape other characters' wrath with their high popularity. kinda like a hunger games of sorts.

 

things escalated when one pissed off character "killed" the mangaka, resulting in a kitten paint MS style.

r.i.p

 

Anime: Cardcaptor Sakura / Tsubasa Chronicles / Tsubasa World Chronicles

 

the original cardcaptor (shojo) was so successful that they went on and made another series, tsubasa (shonen) with the same main character designs, sakura and syaoran. it should be noted that tsubasa characters are not the same as cardcaptor's even though they look the same, because the mangaka like to show different worlds (like kingdom hearts games). and the popular main character from cardcaptor, sakura appeared in a short cameos in tsubasa to save tsubasa's sakura.

Talking about CCS! Apparently for the series's twentieth anniversary, something special is planned. Maybe a remake?

That arc hits so many home runs on how true they are.

Most likely. Hopefully, cause I love the manga ending.

It be hard because old guard will clamor every change while new gen will ask more fresh content and last one Clamp already move on Tsubasa Reservoir.  The complete remade like Eva just happen because majority fans want it change very very badly.

There was never a "canon" pair or anything like that in EVA

Fans were satisfied with the end of Evangelion but they wanted more then Anno decided to "reset" everything because he is complicated like that

We will probably only know what's up with that decision after the 3.0 + 1 movie

Deadpool is a prime example. He was in X-men origins and got a major backlash. After a while of fans saying we need a REAL Deadpool movie, we finally got an amazing Deadpool and it is so good that it is even changing possible stuff for the future of the X-men franchise.

Which I kind of like Rebuild of Eva. It is an interesting take. It also doesn't overwrite the other anime/manga, but rather it is a form of "This is another way the story could have went" and I don't mind that.
