From movies or television, what character is most similar to you or the most relatable? Bonus question, which character would you want to be more like?


I think I'm most like Joel from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Very aloof and don't really think on my feet, make it by with very simple platitudes.

I'd most like to be like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day or Scrooged. Very cynical and wry, but quick-witted and well-played with the sarcasm.

I admire and want to be like Jane Eyre.

Probably Nina Sayers from Black Swan but with a little bit more edge and no I can't dance.

I can't imagine anyone making a movie about a person like me ("a movie about a person who lives a quiet suburban life, spending lots of time alone surfing the Internet because of sensory and emotional overload"), and so I cannot think of a movie or TV character that I am like. Movies need more drama, action, or emotion (or humour) than I could stand in real life.

And for the bonus question ... I wouldn't mind being a straight version of Dumbledore. Being a wizard would be SO cool. He was eccentric too - that would appeal to me. Something with magical powers.

I think I'm most like Richard Mayhew from Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere (not a TV character but the only one I could think of). I would like to be more like Vash the Stampede from Trigun (hence the username).

I'm a cross between Wally (from Dilbert), Jon Arbuckle and Al Bundy.

Sort of a cross between Sheldon Cooper and Abed Nadir for me (with a touch of Ed Chigliak thrown in for good measure). Blows your mind, don't it?

I'm like a cross between Edward Scissorhands and Alice Kingsleigh from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, or so I've been told.
