If you'd like to see the results in text form, here's a Google Sheet, which also breaks down the characters into a bunch of different categories: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q_vy4o24XUU_XWLsQpZRP299-ehyoIW0FEOH9tfvUsM/edit?usp=sharing
The Chinese Emperor who got one vote I'm almost positive is _supposed_ to be the Emperor from Mulan, but the voter was either really neurotic about putting the correct name, is one of those weirdos who runs a wiki that is simultaneously too detailed and doesn't tell you much of anything at all, or someone who _really_ wanted to flex on people.
As far as guesses for the identity of The Emperor in the Mulan movie, it is not a terrible guess. The story of Hua Mulan apparently originated in the Northern Wei between the 300s and 500s AD. Meanwhile, Emperor Taiwu (otNW) unified much of Northern China in the early 400s. There are other candidates who are probably just as likely, though.
@@JigglesMcRibs Needed a joke pick and the first thing I thought of was the unnamed gorillas that Sora has to save during Deep Jungle. They give you items and they're at least memorable to me. Plus they never did anything to anybody. Tarzan was my most watched Disney movie as a kid too, that might have affected me. I also happened to be one of 72 Strelitzia voters lol. I genuinely expected her to get way more votes than that?? I may have only voted for her because of how cute she is in Union X and her future relevance, but...
You forgot, part of Jack Skellington's popularity is due to Kingdom Hearts and Nightmare Before Christmas' shared ability of appealing to the Hot Topic shopper crowd. (It's me, I was Hot Topic shopper.)
Heyo! I'm one of the Data Sora voters, completely being genuine here! First off, he's just Sora but digital. That's cool as shit. More importantly though is his fighting style. Data Sora embodies Re:Coded's gameplay, which is my personal favourite combat in the series (yes I play KH2 randomizers, I'm a hardcore fan and I mean it). Data Sora is the only character who has access to Judgement Triad or Triple Blizzaga or ExoSpark, and let's not forget the Zero/One Keyblade, and for that he's absolutely one of the coolest characters in combat. Lastly, there's a particular line Data Sora says in ReCoded (I don't know if he says this in 2.5 because why would I watch that): "If you've lost your way, pick a direction and walk." Arguably terrible advice for someone lost in the wilderness, but as a mantra in life it has genuinely helped me in some dark moments. Data Sora is really cool!😊
There's also the fact of how weirdly parental he was towards Huey et al. That was the first time where I was like "Oh, hey, wait, this guy's his own whole dude."
I agree with you, playing Re:Coded I did slowly grow to like Data Sora, I wouldn't put him in my top 5 or say he's better than normal Sora but I do like how despite everything that goes on in that game, he's still willing to help out and be there for the outside characters. Plus his friendship with Data Riku is fun.
I put that one! That scene has a very strong attachment to me because it’s what got me into Kingdom Hearts and I couldn’t think of a fifth favorite so I put that one. When it didn’t show up in the 1 vote segment, I was very confused. I laughed so hard when it turned out 4 other people put that.
I didn't vote for him, but Dewey is great in the new DuckTales reboot. He is written as a middle child who constantly yearns for action and attention, making him super funny. He's also voiced by Sonic, so that's fun. I'd recommend checking out the DuckTales reboot if you haven't, it's amazing and a perfect example of a reboot.
Dewford Dingus Duck might be my personal least favourite of the triplets from the reboot (justice for my boy Louie), but even that comes with the acknowledgment that I still like him a lot. I think he can veer into annoying at times for me, but that’s probably because this is a children’s show, targeted towards children, and maybe my 30 year old ass should chill a little and let him be loud and obnoxious on occasion.
I voted for Flotsam over Jetsam because there's a mobile game with pretty anime boy versions of disney villains, twisted wonderland, that my girlfriend plays. That version of Flotsam is her favorite character in it.
Makes sense. When I heard Pat wondering about the difference in votes, I IMMEDIATELY thought, "people turned this into a Floyd vs Jade thing, didn't they?"
I sat through the whole thing on normal speed and I don't regret it. Your script writing/reading is so good. Also, I really hope you get around to playing FF 8 & 9 eventually.
3:13:26 I was permanently affected by 358/2. I played it during a rough time in my life when his story in the organization felt like my life in a school. When he got reunited with Axel and Xion it was beyond any feeling of a childhood story finally being closed I have ever experienced. I hope that he can be done in the series. He’s had his happy ending
The fact is, if Sho Minamimoto was actually in the game proper (which he SHOULD HAVE BEEN, i maintain that he and Gilgamesh both absolutely should have taken the Sephiroth spot of secret boss at some point), he absolutely would have scored high due to residual good will from being one of the top 3 most popular TWEWY characters. because he's the best part of those best games.
16:15 I like that you specify a direct game quote as the evidence for Sora having a father, like otherwise it's a reasonable assumption that Sora was a magical virgin birth or something. Then again, it's Kingdom Hearts, can't put anything past them.
I'm so happy another 3 people decided to spend a vote on Vor! (Also, you got a solid chortle out of me for the Xemnas "leader of the bunch/know him well" line, what a pull)
Sorry to say this Pat, but if you didn't play the "sorry, not a real KH character" buzzer for Absent Silhouette Larxene, you probably shouldn't have played it for that table. It lives in Wonderland so it probably has friends and a job and taxes and stuff
Hey, I think I was the one vote for Armor of the Master! I really love how it copies a signature command from each of the protagonists, and how it goes further in on that samurai aesthetic Eraqus and Terra have going on.
I had forgotten that some of the names were altered between the original version and the ReMix version, I've gotten so used to seeing it as "Armor of Eraqus" now that seeing the original name gave me pause
42:04 Pluto actually had more moments in the manga iirc. The one that comes to mind was when Xion finds him and tries to adopt him, which Saix actually accepts. Out of character? Maybe. But its certainly a nice moment.
I like to think that since Saïx had never been actually hollow and was just acting like an ass to get on Xemnas' good side he used Xion as an excuse to let Pluto stay since he's not heartless and actually wanted to pet the dog too.
Just the perspective from a namine voter, part of her ranking is definitely from the manga, I really enjoyed her depiction in that, and I feel the manga might explain other characters placements.
the james woods rant is so relatable lol. he does pull off a killer performance as hades in every game but i also think "god why'd it have to be james" at least once per olympus visit
There were a lot of joke submissions but Cozy Glow caught me so off guard I laughed for a solid minute. I AM pretty huge on MLP so I'm kinda curious on who voted for her. Of all the characters, too... Okay, Grogar as well. Looks like someone really likes the villain squad. I can't imagine this was two different people voting.
I was the one who voted for Cozy Glow and Grogar, alongside Queen Chrysalis, Lord Tirek, Kinger, and Darth Vader. I think it would be really funny if people kept mentioning the 4 MLP villains I voted and Kinger, to the point where they gain meme status on the channel.
Can't believe I was the only cerberus vote, that fight left such an impression on me, KH1 came out around the time the first Harry Potter movie did, both of those back to back turned me into a cerberus lover for life in any media it's in Disney characters being used as bosses like that is still one of the cooler parts of the series for me As a kid it was one of if not the hardest fights in the game for me, and it's still one of my favorites, it coming back in 2 blew my mind
Cackling mad at my own joke of submitting Riku XC3, it's not even that funny but I'm so glad I did it when I realize no one else would have. I'm the hero no one asked for... or needed... and I'm not that much of a hero, either.
So far the one votes have me howling omg edit: I theorize Merryweather and Dewey are hard carried by the color blue. edit2: Woody's "let him cook" meme walked so that Yhwach's "let him cook" meme could run. edit3: Cloud and Squall back to back like in the ravine has me hype. final edit: "I got loads of people rootin' for me"
Massive respect to your James Woods rant, anyone who would have a problem with what you're saying SHOULD be alienated, we don't want them in our KH spaces
I liked calling the KH Chi player "Keykid" which I know was used a bit. It's charming, rolks off the tongue even if it is a little silly but Kingdom Hearts is abundant with these things
Vexen is in top 50?? Color me surprised, I was always under the impression the majority of the fandom hated him also there are dozens of us who think he's got it going on in the looks department
listening to you do the xemnas section and hearing bits of DK rap come through had my cognitive dissonance going SO STRONGLY Fantastic video though, this has been a blast to listen to
The 1 Votes were completely unhinged. Edit: I'm pouring one out for my vote for: specifically the Dusk that's cleaning the castle that blushes after Xion thanks them in the manga
34:57 I was waiting throughout the entire 1 vote characters segment and was confused why I didn’t see this because I felt certain I would’ve been the only one to vote for this. But as soon as the picture showed up I knew, and laughed so hard that 4 other people put the same thing.
I haven’t laughed as hard as I did when hearing the 1 votes in a long time. I also popped off super loudly when The Org Moogle got its own special slot. Awesome video as usual Pat 👍
1:33:17: I personally like the idea that Hawai'i was a world swallowed by Darkness before KH1. It would explain why Stitch is without his Ohana. Technically he does also canonically run away to space (thank you extremely niche Lilo & Stitch Anime) but that only happens when Lilo leaves for College so that's probably not early enough to be an explanation. 2:21:31 Wow I didn't know Terra did Zexion's hairstyle. /lh
One final PSA, to anyone who can vote on Tuesday, remember not just to vote, but vote smart. Find some time to look over who/what you're voting on, do your research, make sure that you know exactly which side you want to vote for and which candidates in particular. Don't waste your given opportunity, because if you don't vote smart, then you opposition has basically already won.
as a 12 yr old in 2009 with days as the first game i actually played, i LOVED xion so much. i was sad that everyone online hated her but im so glad people have warmed up to her
I'm one of the two Lady of the Night votes because I'm the only person in the world commissioning fanart of her lol Also, don't worry, the cafe lady will get her chance some day.
36:21 Dewey is voiced by Ben Schwartz, the voice of Sonic in the movies, so if you have seen the actor in pretty much anything, you already get his character in Ducktales lol, he’s really fun
Hear, hear! Despite everything that KH has done to her, her appearances in KH1 and BBS alone are enough to put her down as one of the best Disney villains in KH. While I love modern, nuanced villains like Xemnas and Ansem, SoD; it's also nice to have classical villains, with not a shred of "uwu so sad" backstory, who are so unquestionably evil, that it's right in their name! No shade to the live-action Maleficent (she's good too in her own ways), but there's just something nice about having a villain who, for example, calls the very concept of love insignificant -- for no reason other than it's a good thing! Also, like the Evil Queen (Grimhilde) and the Magic Mirror, she not only speaks in an old-timey way, but also rhymes on occasion -- a combination I am a sucker for. "A forest of thorns shall be your tomb... Wound 'round the castle in a bower of doom!" Finally, we have the fact that Xehanort had a voice-acted line calling her an "evil fairy", an concept that -- while making sense historically -- sounds *_so_* silly nowadays -- that I have to have to respect it!
I put Sora as my favorite KH original protagonist. *_...Not_* *_just_* because he's the best KH protagonist, but because he is pretty unique as a video game protagonist: Other video game protagonists tend to be "silent protagonists", snarkers, or relatively serious. While Sora *_can_* snark and be serious, he can also be like: "We're going to see Santa Claus!!! 🤩". While I know the "Didney Worl" energy is self-serving for the franchisee, at the same time, it's nice to have VG protagonist that embodies that child-like wonder, optimism, and spirit -- without having to be ironic about it.
As one of the people who voted for Vanitas, I'm sad but not surprised that you didn't bring up the novelization, which really did a lot to make him sympathetic. It has two really important points to his character that weren't shown in any of the games, being 1). Vanitas constantly feels incomplete and can't feel happiness without Ven, but he also felt compelled to try and attack him any time they're near. And 2.) Vanitas feels physical pain any time an Unversed is killed, and he spawns and kills them himself sometimes out of grief. (I think it was even implied that's where the boss Unversed come from? Something about them getting bigger as his pain grown stronger I think?) Knowing that kinda paints him in a different light and it's a huge shame to me that these tidbits of character are relegated to Japanese only books. Though I don't know if they would even be able to get away a depiction of self harm in a game series like this, even one so layered.
Also it has been a good while since I was hyperfixated enough on this series to be looking up Japanese fan translated exclusive trivia, so if I misremembered any of this and someone notices, lemme know
To be fair, most people choose to ignore that because they prefer Vanitas being an unapologetic evil bastard so trying to make him sympathetic kinds takes away from that appeal. It's like how there's a Fist of the North Star gaiden manga about trying to make Jagi, aka the most despicable and irredeemable piece of shit in the series, sympathetic by giving him a tragic backstory.
I voted for Pooh :) he’s a perfect example of why the Disney characters do matter. Because Sora isn’t just fighting Xehanort to save Kairi or Riku, he’s doing it for everyone, all of his friends.
re:Leon, I imagine his in-universe reasoning would be something like "Squall is the one who let Radiant Garden down, Leon is the one who brought it back" and move on to the final third of his name for any KH stuff that happens in the future (half-joke)
To the 25 other Eraqus fans - please hit me up. I would like to say we have peak taste but perhaps that would be too much lol. ALSO the 86 other Vexen fans WHERE HAVE YALL BEEN? I didn't realize so many of us existed
@@oreotaku4017 I'm not sure how I prefer Vexen - I'm inclined to agree I got here because mad scientists are fun characters, but his arc in KH3 was oddly nice
I can confirm two things 1. Tama Sheep is a great early Dream Eater that ended up being my MVP when I played Dream Drop. 2. Dewey is "the fun one" out of the triplets in Ducktales 2017, while Huey is "the smart one" and Louie is "the charismatic one."

before you clarified that mogtaro is the timeless river moogle I thought you'd given them a memorial image like they'd fucking died
This vid made me realize im so basic voting for Axel, Roxas, Riku, Kairi, Ansem when I could have voted for series star Lance Bass
Right? I took my voting duty VERY seriously. We are fools…..FOOLS.
Me: Hey Lance, what do ya say to us fools who didn't vote for you?
Lance Bass: Bye bye bye.
Me: ...touche.
I should've voted for my REAL favorite Kingdom Hearts character, Gilbert Godfrey smh
Same 😅
Literally the same votes as me but I voted Zack instead of Riku lol

I was the person who voted for "unnamed gorilla that needs to be saved in Deep Jungle".
Thank you for your service.
I need to know more about why go rill a was your favorite now
@@JigglesMcRibs Needed a joke pick and the first thing I thought of was the unnamed gorillas that Sora has to save during Deep Jungle. They give you items and they're at least memorable to me.

I also happened to be one of 72 Strelitzia voters lol. I genuinely expected her to get way more votes than that?? I may have only voted for her because of how cute she is in Union X and her future relevance, but...
You forgot, part of Jack Skellington's popularity is due to Kingdom Hearts and Nightmare Before Christmas' shared ability of appealing to the Hot Topic shopper crowd. (It's me, I was Hot Topic shopper.)
I'm extremely surprised that Sally didn't get a single vote, considering the venn diagram of the fanbases of these two franchises.
@@Cory_I’m more surprised that Dr. Finkelstein DID and Sally didn’t. That’s weird.
Was not expecting a random Strengthposting reference in the wild.
My dad bought kingdom hearts for my sisters and I because jack was on the box art so I feel this
Pat the type of guy to say "oh Butterfingers" when he drops something
do you have a google doc of these jip
@RegularPat I should start one, that's good idea!
@@RegularPat Pat the type of guy to suggest a google spreadsheet for silly, niche generalizations.
You're actually going through all the 1 vote characters that's crazy.
That's why Pat's the best lmaoooo
He’s like the Peter Jackson of KH TH-cam but unsinkable
I’m very happy to see my singular Shiva vote up there!
Tbh I’m glad he did it was hilarious. You can’t gloss over KH classics like Tony Soprano.
Sephiroth's Masamune wrapping around the margins of the screen on his entry actually made me burst out laughing. great visual joke
Oh THAT'S what that was, I was sorta confused lol
Same. It was way funnier than it deserved.

Not to be nitpicky but Aqua can also use triple blizzaga lol
@mcwyman7928 Touche, she made my list too
As someone without any feelings for Data Sora, I love this
Actually Prince Phillip had the fewest votes of any party member. Guess he's such a nothing burger that Pat forgot he even was a BBS party member.
do people that dont get a healthbar even count as party members? hes a guest yeah but not a full party member
no he has a party member health bar in bbs
@@Craft_Mesa huh. i will be honest i probably just forgot.
I voted for Prince Phillip! 😃🗡️
Just got surgery yesterday, perfect timing for a 3 hour Pat video while I'm psuedo-immobilized. Appreciate you, Pat!

Dewey is great in Ducktales (2017), but to be fair so are Huey and Louie. Genuinely a really good series.
Dewford Dingus Duck might be my personal least favourite of the triplets from the reboot (justice for my boy Louie), but even that comes with the acknowledgment that I still like him a lot.
I think he can veer into annoying at times for me, but that’s probably because this is a children’s show, targeted towards children, and maybe my 30 year old ass should chill a little and let him be loud and obnoxious on occasion.
Hubert, Dewford, and Llewellyn make for a most entertaining trio in 2017's interpretation of the series.
Ima-Gun Di, aka Imma Gonna Die! He shows up and immediately uh... lives a long and fruitful life!
damn me for not doing my research
I was gonna write this but you beat me to it
"For the twileks!"
I voted for Flotsam over Jetsam because there's a mobile game with pretty anime boy versions of disney villains, twisted wonderland, that my girlfriend plays. That version of Flotsam is her favorite character in it.
You know, somehow I just knew that Twisted Wonderland was the reason for Flotsam and Jetsam votes lol
Makes sense. When I heard Pat wondering about the difference in votes, I IMMEDIATELY thought, "people turned this into a Floyd vs Jade thing, didn't they?"
I played twisted wonderland as well

maybe i'll like him more in neo idk

Can’t wait to see how many votes “Not Tidus” from Traverse Town got
I missed that part, how many votes or what time in the video was it?
I died when you played the hook “what” after saying Wendy was not one of the chosen ones again 😂
Patty counting out the 1 votes:
"RIKU!?"
"Oh from Xenoblade Chronicles 3, that makes sense."
You had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
okay, the moment you gave the definition of "arroyo" I knew I was gonna love this video😂

Just the perspective from a namine voter, part of her ranking is definitely from the manga, I really enjoyed her depiction in that, and I feel the manga might explain other characters placements.
I voted for Naminé without having read the manga, but I still agree.
naminé voters! :3
She’s also excellent in the KH2 novel, but I personally just love her from game content alone! She’s adorable and so interesting
Solidarity for our gal Naminé
the james woods rant is so relatable lol. he does pull off a killer performance as hades in every game but i also think "god why'd it have to be james" at least once per olympus visit

Can't believe I was the only cerberus vote, that fight left such an impression on me, KH1 came out around the time the first Harry Potter movie did, both of those back to back turned me into a cerberus lover for life in any media it's in
Disney characters being used as bosses like that is still one of the cooler parts of the series for me
As a kid it was one of if not the hardest fights in the game for me, and it's still one of my favorites, it coming back in 2 blew my mind
“Only voted for the Moogle based on design” as if she’s not the most iconic girliepop in the entire series!? Glad moogles made it to the top 100💅

you're MY hero for this
I wish I thought of that
You and the people who voted for random non KH characters so they’d get at least one vote are my heroes.
felt very happy that someone else did a similar thing to my joke of voting terra and then specifying i meant the medal of the ffvi character

Massive respect to your James Woods rant, anyone who would have a problem with what you're saying SHOULD be alienated, we don't want them in our KH spaces
Its hilarious the quantity of random characters people put on the list, im so proud
I severely underestimated our ability to be obscure and specific
Crazy to me that we only got one Dragonball character, and it was Goten of all choices.
I liked calling the KH Chi player "Keykid" which I know was used a bit. It's charming, rolks off the tongue even if it is a little silly but Kingdom Hearts is abundant with these things
"Stick" right after Setzer killed me.
Vexen is in top 50?? Color me surprised, I was always under the impression the majority of the fandom hated him
also there are dozens of us who think he's got it going on in the looks department
He's at least a lot more attractive than Hojo. But... his face does him no favors.
I've never actually played FF7 and I had to look Hojo up, WOW he is crusty
I didn't really find Vexen all that attractive on my first impression of him, but he's definitely grown on me. He's got Willem Dafoe vibes
Vexen is a well done character despite his personality. You're supposed to dislike him.
22:19 hey i was one of the people of voted for the Hareraiser, I can´t belive someone else also voted for it
14:12 Rabbit being the proto-Squidward is funny because he’s voiced by Tom Kenny, Spongebob’s VA.
7 mins in and this is already so much funnier than I expected
Petition to change Monkey D. Luffy’s name to Jonathon One Piece
Glad to see Naminé made it as high as she did! She's been my favourite character for a long time now.
If you count the cat on the box art you have to count Utada Hikaru on the single "Face My Fears"
31:17 I can’t believe more people than me voted for Bulky Vendor! He’s my favorite heartless
listening to you do the xemnas section and hearing bits of DK rap come through had my cognitive dissonance going SO STRONGLY
Fantastic video though, this has been a blast to listen to
When I was little, I thought Woody said "there's a stake in my boot!" like a wooden stake he stepped on
The 1 Votes were completely unhinged.
Edit: I'm pouring one out for my vote for: specifically the Dusk that's cleaning the castle that blushes after Xion thanks them in the manga
Buff Riku killed me.
Tigger's Giant Pot sweep!
Edit: The Mike Wazowzki edit was very clever good job Pat
Sephiroth's fucking sword wrapping around and coming through the other side of the screen killed me!😂
He didn't play the sound for Taft! Taft confirmed canon to KH.
1:47:44 you're welcome. Damian is a legend
Also, Meow Wow is way more doggish. That is a rotund dog face and body
34:57 I was waiting throughout the entire 1 vote characters segment and was confused why I didn’t see this because I felt certain I would’ve been the only one to vote for this. But as soon as the picture showed up I knew, and laughed so hard that 4 other people put the same thing.
I haven’t laughed as hard as I did when hearing the 1 votes in a long time. I also popped off super loudly when The Org Moogle got its own special slot. Awesome video as usual Pat 👍
1:33:17: I personally like the idea that Hawai'i was a world swallowed by Darkness before KH1. It would explain why Stitch is without his Ohana. Technically he does also canonically run away to space (thank you extremely niche Lilo & Stitch Anime) but that only happens when Lilo leaves for College so that's probably not early enough to be an explanation.
2:21:31 Wow I didn't know Terra did Zexion's hairstyle. /lh
1:12:15 AT LEAST WE MADE IT. THE MATH MAN GOT MENTIONED LET'S FACTORING GOOOOOOO
The goat
My love for him is pi, infinite
"Colette" might be the one from Ratatouille rather than a misspelling of olette. But the woeld may never know.
I am not surprised at all that someone put in Xenoblade Riku considering all the jokes about that mixup
I regret not putting Riku from Blood+ on my list lol
A solid showing from my boy! 👏
I will say, Cloud/Sephiroth making a Quadratum appearance in 4 would be cool, and would be a good follow up on where their battle lead them.
One final PSA, to anyone who can vote on Tuesday, remember not just to vote, but vote smart. Find some time to look over who/what you're voting on, do your research, make sure that you know exactly which side you want to vote for and which candidates in particular. Don't waste your given opportunity, because if you don't vote smart, then you opposition has basically already won.
And if you are not of age to vote, do not worry about any of this. You will be stressed beyond belief otherwise.
I was fully expecting to be the only Bizarre Archer nut, love that guy
As someone who’s favorite Final Fantasy Character is Squall, I’m so happy he made so high in this poll.
Seeing all the 1 votes makes me immediately realize how basic my picks were. I didn't even think of voting for Kokichi from Danganronpa!
I'm SO glad that Ienzo made top 25. My favorite little guy getting some well-deserved (IMO) attention!
Oh shit, I thought this was a poll for the craziest “hear me outs”.
I can't believe that Twilight Sparkle won the most popular Kingdom Hearts character poll.
I voted for the Gold Tricholoma. Love that little guy.
I also voted for the Gigas Shadow. Love that big guy.
10:48 Kinger Hearts! ♟️♥️
as a 12 yr old in 2009 with days as the first game i actually played, i LOVED xion so much. i was sad that everyone online hated her but im so glad people have warmed up to her
KH1 secret ending hooked me on Roxas and Neoshadow before I played 2. And then Roxas becomes more relatable as I grew older. Great video Pat
That little bit with Mike? *chef's kiss* Exquisite.
A little chef's kiss?
I'm one of the two Lady of the Night votes because I'm the only person in the world commissioning fanart of her lol
Also, don't worry, the cafe lady will get her chance some day.
36:21
Dewey is voiced by Ben Schwartz, the voice of Sonic in the movies, so if you have seen the actor in pretty much anything, you already get his character in Ducktales lol, he’s really fun
Holy moly this is so thorough. But I want you to know you're one of the only yotubers that I'll watch longform videos for.
Listen, the fact that enough other people besides just me put in a vote for Maleficent enough to get her in the top 50 is a major win in my book 💜🖤
Hear, hear!
Despite everything that KH has done to her, her appearances in KH1 and BBS alone are enough to put her down as one of the best Disney villains in KH.
While I love modern, nuanced villains like Xemnas and Ansem, SoD; it's also nice to have classical villains, with not a shred of "uwu so sad" backstory, who are so unquestionably evil, that it's right in their name!
No shade to the live-action Maleficent (she's good too in her own ways), but there's just something nice about having a villain who, for example, calls the very concept of love insignificant -- for no reason other than it's a good thing!
Also, like the Evil Queen (Grimhilde) and the Magic Mirror, she not only speaks in an old-timey way, but also rhymes on occasion -- a combination I am a sucker for.
"A forest of thorns shall be your tomb...
Wound 'round the castle in a bower of doom!"
Finally, we have the fact that Xehanort had a voice-acted line calling her an "evil fairy", an concept that -- while making sense historically -- sounds *_so_* silly nowadays -- that I have to have to respect it!
I put Sora as my favorite KH original protagonist.
*_...Not_* *_just_* because he's the best KH protagonist, but because he is pretty unique as a video game protagonist:
Other video game protagonists tend to be "silent protagonists", snarkers, or relatively serious.
While Sora *_can_* snark and be serious, he can also be like: "We're going to see Santa Claus!!! 🤩".
While I know the "Didney Worl" energy is self-serving for the franchisee, at the same time, it's nice to have VG protagonist that embodies that child-like wonder, optimism, and spirit -- without having to be ironic about it.
As one of the people who voted for Vanitas, I'm sad but not surprised that you didn't bring up the novelization, which really did a lot to make him sympathetic. It has two really important points to his character that weren't shown in any of the games, being 1). Vanitas constantly feels incomplete and can't feel happiness without Ven, but he also felt compelled to try and attack him any time they're near. And 2.) Vanitas feels physical pain any time an Unversed is killed, and he spawns and kills them himself sometimes out of grief. (I think it was even implied that's where the boss Unversed come from? Something about them getting bigger as his pain grown stronger I think?)
Knowing that kinda paints him in a different light and it's a huge shame to me that these tidbits of character are relegated to Japanese only books. Though I don't know if they would even be able to get away a depiction of self harm in a game series like this, even one so layered.
Also it has been a good while since I was hyperfixated enough on this series to be looking up Japanese fan translated exclusive trivia, so if I misremembered any of this and someone notices, lemme know
To be fair, most people choose to ignore that because they prefer Vanitas being an unapologetic evil bastard so trying to make him sympathetic kinds takes away from that appeal.
It's like how there's a Fist of the North Star gaiden manga about trying to make Jagi, aka the most despicable and irredeemable piece of shit in the series, sympathetic by giving him a tragic backstory.
I voted for Huge Snowman. The grace of this magnificent being shall be graced upon the masses
The speed at which I clicked on this video as the TH-cam app loaded is crazy
I voted for Pooh :) he’s a perfect example of why the Disney characters do matter. Because Sora isn’t just fighting Xehanort to save Kairi or Riku, he’s doing it for everyone, all of his friends.
re:Leon, I imagine his in-universe reasoning would be something like "Squall is the one who let Radiant Garden down, Leon is the one who brought it back" and move on to the final third of his name for any KH stuff that happens in the future (half-joke)
39:44 this discussion about the Experiment is why I voted for it
To the 25 other Eraqus fans - please hit me up. I would like to say we have peak taste but perhaps that would be too much lol. ALSO the 86 other Vexen fans WHERE HAVE YALL BEEN? I didn't realize so many of us existed
I unfortunately didn’t get a chance to vote but I’m a fan of both characters. Though I’m more a fan of Vexen as an amoral mad scientist.
@@oreotaku4017 I'm not sure how I prefer Vexen - I'm inclined to agree I got here because mad scientists are fun characters, but his arc in KH3 was oddly nice
VEXEN APOLOGISTS RISE UP
I always thought Phil miscounted his words because his count was how many Greek words where in what ever phrase he was going to say.
I can confirm two things
1. Tama Sheep is a great early Dream Eater that ended up being my MVP when I played Dream Drop.
2. Dewey is "the fun one" out of the triplets in Ducktales 2017, while Huey is "the smart one" and Louie is "the charismatic one."
