So recently I watched the movie Titan A.E. (Good movie I like it) I especially liked the character Preed...the tall alien who likes Akima...And then I realized that I found him strangely attractive. And that led me to realize how many odd charatcers in movies that I find cute or attractive when no one else does....I don't fall in love with them or anything...I just gravitate toward that character more than the others. To name a few there's Preed from Titan A.E. of course, Freddy Krueger of Nightmare on Elm Street, Gollum and Grima Worm Tongue, Frodo and Pipin from Lord of the Rings, Barbossa from Pirates of the Carribean, Kevin from Sin City (Elijah Wood's character), Count Dracula in general (Especially the 1950's-70's versions played by Christopher Lee). To name a few. (Hmm looks like I really love villians)
Some, I find myself attracted to in some strange way, others are...inspirational. Some people would probably think "Ewww. That guy? Really?" but yeah...I don't know why they attract me, they just do. Simple enough. For the most part they inspire me to write (I'm an aspiring writer) certian stories about them, they bring out their own little stories to me. It all makes me think about personal preferences, how extreme each one is from the next. Do I make sense? I know some people agree with me that sometimes a character that wasn't intended to be as much liked as the main character might attract them, (my friend and I both love Krueger) and then a song just adds to the inspiration.
In the end I know others and myself ask me the ultimate question "Why? Why THAT guy out of all of them?" The answer is....I don't know why. Sometimes things are just the way they are. Could be that the character is such an inspiration, or I think the outcast feels no love and I feel for him, or that the outcast is very interesting to me. It always depends on the person because I havn't heard of two people liking all of the same weird characters. I smile as I write this, because if you were ask me the "Why?" I would tell you, "I don't know, I just like him. I like to think I have all the answers to the questions people ask me, but I don't in those cases."
Good thing these characters are just that; characters. Or else I'd be chasing after them. HA! Of course, I'm just kidding *smile slyly*
