1. Comment on this post.
2. On request, I will give you a letter.
3. Think of 5 fictional characters whose names begin with that letter.
4. Post their names and your comments on these characters in your LJ.
Jason Stackhouse
KILL HIM WITH FIRE.
He was only interesting when he had a psychotic, vegan girlfriend. And she didn't last nearly long enough.
John Casey
Okay, so he's a Reagan-obsessed gun-nut government suit. He's also ripped, played by Adam Baldwin, and plans a wedding with the same intensity he plans military operations.
I wouldn't kick him out of bed for eating crackers. I mean, at one point he jumped off a hotel balcony, into a pool, and then walked out of said pool dripping wet and wearing a tux to stop his love interest wedding. Let me repeat: dripping wet and wearing a tux.
James Bond couldn't've done better.
Speaking of...
James Bond
..is freaking James Bond. But MY James Bond is Pierce Brosnan in Golden Eye. That said, by any objective measure, the Daniel Craig Bond movies are fair superior. I recently saw the opening of Casino Royale at the gym, when he's chasing that bomb-making and it was just... epic.
James Potter
....is a character whose wife, enemy(ies), BFFs, and son are all more interesting than he is. Sorry, I don't find sporty golden boys interesting. ...Unless they're Seeley Booth, and thus have been tempered by war and adulthood, and are also suffering under a curse of epic UST.
Jaye Tyler
is spiteful in a way that the definition of spiteful just doesn't quite prepare you for. She's snarky and lazy and too smart and over-educated for her own good, and watching her life spiral into the realm of magical realism was a delight.

Also James Potter was seriously one of the least interesting characters in those books. In my opinion, all of the marauders were painfully uninteresting in comparison to pretty much everyone else.

James IS one of the least interesting characters in the books. However, I have to disagree about Sirius and Lupin - I love them both, and Lupin... prior to book 6, I would have married that werewolf.

Are either of them 'your type' of character? Because while it's weird when a character SOUNDS like the type of character you love but you just don't like this particular one, if he/she/they aren't the type you like in the regular course of things, it's not that surprising.
