Movies: The Goonies (all of them!)
TV shows: Dave Lister
Video Games: that chick who did the handstand "snap his neck with my legs" move on Mortal Combat

You need to specify the goonies by name. I'm not looking it up.

[bart_calendar]

For video games I think you mean "Sonya Blade."

Yes?

[threemilechild]

Lister is my hero!

Movies: Ash

Dead Trees: Sand dan Glokta

Television: Evil Willow Rosenberg

Video Games: Jet Set Willy

I was very, very curious to see what division Ash would get nominated in.

[a_pawson]

The Evil Dead films were part of my childhood. The TV show is good fun to watch, but I discovered the films when I was a teenager, so movie Ash is the character I think of first.

[bart_calendar]

Yeah. That's where I'd put him too, but he's one of the ones I'd consider for either category. (with a decent argument.)

[gonzo21]

Movies: Imperator Furiosa. (Mad Max: Fury Road.)

Dead Trees: Gandalf.

Television: John Crichton. (Farscape.)

Video Games: Lara Croft.

[bart_calendar]

Interesting.

[gonzo21]

I think Lara deserves to be recognised now as they've finally reinvented her as something other than an athletic pair of boobs.

[matgb]

Agree with this, and she is one of the iconic games characters.

Movies: Jareth

Dead Trees: Jon Shannow

TV: Rupert Giles

Video Games: Chell

[bart_calendar]

I bet Chell gets a lot of nominations.

[momentsmusicaux]

I'll second Chell.

[yes_that_tonya]

Third for Chell!

[naath]

Movies: HAL 9000

Dead Trees: Justice of Toren One Esk Nineteen aka Breq.

Television: Sarah Manning

Video Games: the L shaped Tetris block

[bart_calendar]

Your video games nomination is brilliant.

[naath]

I don't play many video games ;-p

[sushis]

As it (he? she?) is the last video game character with whom I'm personally familiar, the L shaped Tetris block has my nomination, as well!
