Most iconic characters for every tier

[Bobsican]

Bill Cipher for 11-A.
Possibly Banjo & Kazooie for High 8-C

Wasn´t Bill more known in his 2-A form?

Also, Banjo and Kazooie are no longer iconic after what Nuts and Bolts did...

 

[GyroNutz]

I mean... they're still pretty well known.

Also, are there any real competitors for Bill?

 

[Bobsican]

If we allowed them, literally anything that´s below tier 6 would be filled with it, and they don´t even classify as characters to begin with, but rather a representation of a composite version of the species, and as Composite Human was denied, then again, yeah no, they shouldn´t be in either.

 

[GyroNutz]

Huh?

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Same for Bill, he isn't really iconic. I hadn't heard of him.

Banjo & Kazooie I can agree with, though.

 

[Bobsican]

I guess 11-A will be left open as no one in it is iconic and has its highest key at such tier.

Lastly, should I add Banjo & Kazooie then?

 

[Mr. Bambu]

I say yeah, Banjo Kazooie is super notable. If a bit old.

 

[TheArsenal1212]

B&K are iconic rare characters from the 90s, they're fine

Bill isn't iconic. Maybe here on the site hahaha but no, not iconic

 

[Bobsican]

Reinhard Heydrich for 1-A

 

[Caleb3429]

3-A: Optimus Prime (G1)

7-B: Charizard

5-A: Skeletor

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Charizard no but I agree on the other ones

 

[Bobsican]

3-A: Optimus Prime (G1)
7-B: Charizard

5-A: Skeletor

Since when is Charizard 7-B?!

Second, as the list is restricted already to a single incarnation, Optimus Prime is already in another tier, unless you´re going to tell me that one is more iconic.

Lastly, I´m adding Skeletor

 

[Caleb3429]

Lastly, I´m adding Skeletor

Meant to put 5-A for G1 Optimus. That's his base form from the original cartoon/comics.

 

[Bobsican]

Lol, Optimus was already even in 5-A

 

[Caleb3429]

Ouch. My eyesight must suck.

8-A Charmander or 7-A/(6-C) Charizard is the most common known forms of Charmander

 

[Bobsican]

Updated the list.

 

[Bobsican]

Bump.

 

[Andytrenom]

Inigo Montoya for 9-C?

 

[Jasonsith]

Spaw should go for 2-C if Kratos is 2-C

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die!

 

[Andytrenom]

I actually haven't seen princess bride btw

 

[Hellbeast1]

Andy you heathen owo

 

[Bobsican]

Inigo Montoya for 9-C?

I don´t think he´s iconic at all, he´s just like.... generic swordman #69

 

[The_Smashor]

Generic Swordman #69 who has an incredibly iconic quote and is from a cult classic movie.

 

[Jasonsith]

Generic Swordman #69 who has an incredibly iconic quote and is from a cult classic movie.

But many other sword users like Roronoa Zoro, Kenshin Himura, Samurai Jack, hell even Afro Samurai are better known sword fighters.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Nah. Inigo is known by pretty much everyone I know.

 

[Yobo_Blue]

Still generic swords guy #72

 

[Amelia_Lonelyheart]

Yeah, Inigo is probably the most iconic swordsman I know of, next to the famous Arhturian characters I guess.

 

[Andytrenom]

@Dark Do Link and He Man count as swordsmen?

 

[TacticalNuke002]

Inigo is iconic yes. All those who disagree live under generic rock #42069.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Also, Princess Bride is extremely popular book; and the movie is probably the best book to movie adaptation in terms of how faithful it is. Because the entire plot of the movie is the grandfather reading the book to his grandson, and the kid making complaints like "Is this a kissing book?" is pretty much the only major difference between the book and movie.

 

[Ogbunabali]

I like this version of The Priness Bride the most.

 

[Bobsican]

Can we agree, that out of all media, books are the least mainstream one?

Not saying that book characters can´t be iconic, just asking.

 

[TheArsenal1212]

Yeah probably. Unless they're extremely well received or popular. Harry Potter, LOTR, 007 etc have sold millions in its day

 

[Mr. Bambu]

...007 books?

Wouldn't have gone with those. Those are movies. Don't get me wrong the character is absolutely iconic just... books?

As for books, I'd argue they have a fair amount more culturally iconic characters than any other medium in existence. If we're talking the average human being, if I named the top 100 book characters and the top 100 video game/anime characters I am fairly sure they'd recognize 10x as many from the books.

 

[Amelia_Lonelyheart]

Yeah, I'm with Bambu on this. But obscure books are probably even more obscure than other obscure pieces of media so I think it's an extreme scale on both ends.

 

[Warren_Valion]

I don´t think he´s iconic at all, he´s just like.... generic swordman #69

Such heresy!

How could anyone think that Inigo Montoya is not iconic?

 

[Amelia_Lonelyheart]

Plus he's in a movie with Andre the Giant.

Already kind of makes him well-known by association.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

oh yeah no Inigo Montoya is absolutely iconic, I knew about him long before I knew about most of the other characters present and I can reference Princess Bride to practically anyone and they'll get it
