By “favorite fictional character” I don’t mean “favorite character of your favorite fiction”, consider the media itself to be irrelevant.

Just consider the character itself and how it changes throughout whichever segments of its timeline, regardless of how the world moves around it (unless it’s relevant);
the show / book / comic / game / political campaign itself may be absolute trash, but you love some character from that more than any other character from anything at all.

Like Magnifico from Wish, or the driver from Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing.

    Probably the G-man, from Half life. Complex, interesting, and definitely not human, despite outward appearances.

    He radiates the same aura as Randall Flagg in Stephen King’s book, titled The Stand. But he isn’t wholly evil.

    He also has incredibly good monologues.

      Nice pick, personally if that was my answer I would attribute it to how little we know of him.
      Without any doubt, they really put a lot of effort into making him look and sound like… whatever he is.

      Thanks for the link too, although it feels like that animation is too… expressive? I think the g-man would have less pronounced expressions, like, not going full >:3 when talking to Alyx.
