Re: EW Ranks The Top 20 Heroes/Villains In Pop Culture Yeah, I don't get The Wicked Witch Of The West in at #1 either. I would certainly put Vadder, Joker or Lecter in before her.

Re: EW Ranks The Top 20 Heroes/Villains In Pop Culture Tarzan, Sherlock Holmes, and Flash Gordon, are missing from the heroes.
Freddy Kruger and Lex Luthor should be in the villians group.

Re: EW Ranks The Top 20 Heroes/Villains In Pop Culture the problem with the list is that it says top 20 heroes/villains .. and then it says pop culture.
pop culture isn't a matter of opinion ... its measurable to an extent.
unless the wicked witch was a huuuuuge talking point from the 40s to the 70s, don't see how its number 1.

Re: EW Ranks The Top 20 Heroes/Villains In Pop Culture How embarassing.

Re: EW Ranks The Top 20 Heroes/Villains In Pop Culture Does The Terminator get cancelled by T2?
I think Rocky Balboa should be somewhere, maybe in the top 5 or possibly replacing that ugly creature at 20. I had to look up the Basic Instinct and Fatal Atraction ones, not a good sign.
Major props for a ballsy pick like Frank Booth. I didn't even like Blue Velvet, but he rocked.

unless the wicked witch was a huuuuuge talking point from the 40s to the 70s, don't see how its number 1. I think the Wicked Witch is just such an immeasurable influence within the culture that's she's always been at least somewhat/very popular throughout the years. It's very impressive staying power. Though I would personally rank Darth Vader or The Joker at the top of the list, I think the three of them would make a good Top 3, with Lecter at #4 (He hasn't been around nearly as long as those three). The Heroes list is pretty good, though I don't think Potter needs to be Top 5 after only 12 years in existence. Though there's a lot of newer characters on that list (Buffy, Bauer...Bristow?).

Re: EW Ranks The Top 20 Heroes/Villains In Pop Culture Really, Atticus Finch needs to get off the list of heros. I don't think I've ever heard anyone other than a movie critic or someone that makes a top heros in film list ever mention To Kill A Mockingbird. It like has this automatic pass in ever list.
Terminator, Rocky, and Rambos absense is troubling though.
