Finally, the LGBTQ community is being accepted by the general public. Sure, there are still some fogeys and naysayers and Piers Morgans going around, but the general consensus is that no matter what your sexual orientation or gender or sex is, we accept you and you’re totally fine. It doesn’t matter what you identify as, we’ll accept you for it. So, finally, gay people and bi people and trans people and all these different identities and communities are getting representation in the world of film and television. There are gay actors playing straight characters, straight actors playing gay characters, gay actors playing gay characters, and all sorts of these kinds of combinations. It sheds light on a previously marginalized community, which is great. And of course, being straight is fine. That’s always been fine, though there is something to be said for being absolutely fabulous regardless or orientation. But anyway, that’s all changing now. Whoever you’re attracted to, however you identify, you’re totally fine. So, choose your favorite of all of these characters from movies and TV shows and we’ll guess whether you like boys or girls! What that means for which way you swing, well, it's up to you from here on out!
Barney or Robin?
Barney and Robin had a great story arc across How I Met Your Mother. The girl who originally caught Ted’s eye was on and off dating with his chauvinistic bachelor friend and even managed to get the anti-marriage Barney to commit to a marriage. Which is your favorite?
Mia Wallace or Vincent Vega?
Aside from the fact that the name “Harvey Weinstein” appears in huge letters right at the start, Pulp Fiction is one of the greatest movies ever made. Quentin Tarantino created some awesome characters, like the sly and snarky Mia and the dopey, drugged up Vincent. Which of them do you prefer?
Batman, Wonder Woman, or Superman?
These three are at the center of the Justice League. Batman has no powers, but he’s just as badass as Wonder Woman and Superman (although, by his very nature, he’s nowhere near as strong as them). Which of the trio is your favorite?
Who’s your favorite of the six Friends?
Friends is one of the most popular TV shows of all time, and it seems as though it always will be, even all this time later. Everyone has a favorite Friends character – the one that they relate to or identify with the most. Who’s yours?
Woody, Buzz, or Jessie?
The central trio in the Toy Story franchise are responsible for a lot of how endlessly watchable the movies are. Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, and Joan Cusack have graced the world of film with three of the most lovable characters ever. Which one’s your favorite?
Cady, Damian, or Janis?
Mean Girls still stands as one of the most beloved high school comedy movies ever. It was a forerunner to the recent movement of comedies being led by terrific female actors. Do you prefer the character of Cady, Damian, or Janis?
Walter White or Nancy Botwin?
Walter White and Nancy Botwin are both TV lead characters who decided to manufacture drugs in order to provide for their family, but in both cases, they turned out very differently. Walt got mixed up with Mexican cartels and Nancy grew a bit of pot. Who’s your favorite?
Harry, Ron, or Hermione?
The Harry Potter franchise was so big that a movie with barely any connections to it whatsoever besides being set in the same world managed to gross $800 million at the worldwide box office. Ludicrous, right? For some, the whole appeal was Harry, Ron, and Hermione – not the world they were in. Who’s your favorite character?
Rey or Finn?
The new Star Wars trilogy has been pretty divisive. The Force Awakens was criticized for not being original enough and The Last Jedi was criticized for being too different. You can’t win! One thing has been consistently praised: the new characters. But is Rey or Finn your favorite?
Kick-Ass or Hit-Girl?
Kick-Ass was a scathing satire of the superhero genre back in 2010, but the superhero genre wouldn’t be as huge as it is today for another couple of years, so maybe it would’ve paid if they’d waited. Who knows? Anyway, who’s your favorite: Kick-Ass or Hit-Girl?
Philip or Elizabeth Jennings?
The Americans is such an amazing and deeply engaging drama series on FX, and it is painfully underrated. It tells the story of two Russian spies in the Cold War posing as a married American couple. The combination of family drama and spy action is awesome. Who’s your favorite?
Michael Scott or Leslie Knope?
These two characters are the bosses in their own hugely popular and critically acclaimed mockumentary series set in a workplace on NBC. However, despite this similarity, the characters are very different. Which of the pair of them is your favorite?
Princess Leia or Han Solo?
Star Wars continues, even if the character of Han Solo and the actress behind Princess Leia have both died. But the legacy of those characters will live on forever, and no future movies will be able to top that. Who’s your favorite?
Beca, Fat Amy, or Jesse?
The Pitch Perfect franchise called it quits recently with a third movie purported to be the last. All three movies have done really well at the box office, picked up tons of fans, and injected themselves into popular culture. Which character is your favorite?
Juno or Paulie?
Juno is a sweet, beautiful, touching, very moving film about the reality of being a teenage girl who gets pregnant after an ill fated sexual rendezvous with a classmate. Diablo Cody based the script on her own experiences. Who’s your favorite: teen mother Juno or teen father Paulie?
Sam or Diane?
Sam and Diane were like the original Ross and Rachel. All throughout Cheers, they were the original ‘will they or won’t they?’ couple. Ted Danson and Shelley Long are great in the roles, which really helped. So, which of the two do you prefer?
Which Charlie’s Angel (or Bosley) is your favorite?
The movie version of the Charlie’s Angels TV show was plagued by problems during production, as Lucy Liu and Bill Murray just could not get along. But we got some neat action sequences out of it. Which is your favorite character from the two movies?
Sheldon, Leonard, or Penny?
The Big Bang Theory is slowly becoming infamous, as it is rapidly declining in quality since losing its way and going from being a show about nerds to being yet another Friends rip-off, appealing to the lowest common denominator. Still, people like it. Who’s your favorite character?
Anna, Elsa, or Olaf?
Frozen is not only one of the highest grossing animated movies of all time, but one of the highest grossing movies of all time, period. It was based on The Snow Queen and it’s loaded with catchy songs. It’s universally beloved. Who’s your favorite character?
Max or Furiosa?
George Miller came back with a vengeance when Warner Bros. finally let him spend $150 million on a fourth Mad Max movie. Fury Road was instantly considered a part of the elite group of the greatest action movies ever made. Who’s your favorite character?
Bella, Edward, or Jacob?
The Twilight Saga changed everything. Suddenly young adult novels about supernatural beings became the hot properties in Hollywood. Everything with a love triangles, teenage character, a genre element, and multiple books in the series was greenlit for adaptation. But it all started with Twilight. Who’s your favorite Twilight character?
Judge Dredd or Judge Anderson?
They finally got the tone of the 2000 AD comics right when they made Dredd with Karl Urban and Olivia Thirlby, with a dystopian backdrop. The movie was a combination of The Enforcer and The Raid, and it was highly effective. Who’s your favorite character?
James Bond or Eve Moneypenny?
In Skyfall, when it was revealed that Naomie Harris’ character was actually Eve Moneypenny the whole time, the audience cried out a resounding, “Whaaat?!?” Skyfall may well be the best Bond movie ever made. Who is your favorite character from it?
Deadpool or Negasonic Teenage Warhead?
No one at the studio expected Deadpool to do well at the box office. It was R rated, darkly comic, and broke the fourth wall. Ryan Reynolds really showed them! Which of these two characters from the movie is your favorite: Deadpool or Negasonic Teenage Warhead?
Jerry or Elaine?
Seinfeld was one of the biggest shows on television in the 1990s. It was about how comedian Jerry Seinfeld gathers his material from his everyday life through his adventures with his friends, including his ex Elaine Benes. Which is your favorite character of the two?
Kirk, Spock, or Uhura?
Sci-fi geeks have been arguing and debating for years whether James T. Kirk or Jean Luc Picard is the better captain of the Starship Enterprise. One thing’s for sure, though: Spock and Uhura are a great pair of characters. Which of the TOS trio is your favorite?
Sarah Connor or T-800?
The T-800 series of Terminator was programmed to kill Sarah Connor in the first movie, and that made her tough, so that when he was programmed to help her in the second one, and they had to take on an even greater threat, she could handle it. Which character is your favorite?
Claire or Phil Dunphy?
Modern Family is a wonderful addition to the lexicon of mockumentary series that have swept the television landscape in the last few years. It’s progressive, relatable, warm, funny, touching, sweet, honest – brilliant. Which is your favorite Dunphy: Claire or Phil?
Neo, Morpheus, or Trinity?
Would you have taken the red pill or the blue pill? The Wachowski siblings’ science fiction masterpiece opened the world up to a whole bunch of questions (and even some answers). Who is your favorite Matrix character: Neo, Morpheus, or Trinity?
Thomas, Katniss, or Tris?
Ever since The Hunger Games was a huge hit, Hollywood has been adapting all the YA dystopian novel series for the big screen. After Hunger Games, we had The Maze Runner and Divergent to enjoy. Which is your favorite protagonist?
Ron Burgundy or Veronica Corningstone?
In the 1970s setting of Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, women were not hugely represented on television. It was a man’s world. So, when Veronica Corningstone comes in to empower them, it’s huge. But Ron Burgundy is a cinematic icon. Who’s your favorite?
Nick or Amy Dunne?
Gone Girl, as a movie, is frankly quite confusing. But if you read the book by Gillian Flynn, which is astoundingly good, then you’ll get more backstory and understanding, and enjoy the movie more. Amy Dunne is a brilliant psychopathic genius. But do you prefer her or her unsuspecting husband Nick?
Mulder or Scully?
Fox Mulder and Dana Scully are back on our screens now as The X-Files has returned for another season. It’s a terrific show about a pair of intrepid FBI agents as they follow supernatural cases and ghosts and aliens and vampires and werewolves. Who’s your favorite character?
Jeff, Britta, or Annie?
It’s one of the greatest shames in television that Community slowly died off after its first season. The writers were always game and giving it their all, but the actors kept dropping in and out and the network never had faith. Who’s your favorite character?
Ellen Ripley or Snake Plissken?
Ripley was one of the first female action heroes. She kicks the xenomorph’s ass where all the men fail in Alien and its sequels. But Snake Plissken is the reluctant future convict tasked with saving the President’s daughter. Which is the better character?
