Now that Chuck is re-releasing his A Look at X videos I was wondering if he could do that for other characters in other series like Star Wars, DC or Marvel characters or Babylon 5. Personally I would love for him to talk about one of the most underrated characters in all of fiction Samantha Nishimura from Tomb Raider as while a lot of said character is locked away in the tie-in comics to the resent games it's still great character development and even without that I still think she is underrated as she has a lot more personality then most of the characters in the sequel games Rise and Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

None of the supporting characters in the other games are bad but most of them, especially Jonah, are IMO rather shallow and flat with little real personality to make them memorable. Lara may be a great character but I feel that she needs companions and villains that are her equal in depth and personality and for former Sam proved in the first game alone that she has the personality to match that contrasts and complements Lara's personality.

I really love her and want to see more of her and I would love for Chuck to go over what makes her tick just so more people will hear of her.

But what about you guys, what characters from series that you enjoyed would you want to see get more attention?

Jack O'Neill (Stargate SG-1), Darth Vader, Optimus Prime... But I don't know if there's enough to go on for Optimus Prime and A Look at Darth Vader might overlap too much with his George Lucas videos, and I don't know if there'd be enough interest in a look at Jack O'Neill.

Maybe a look at the most capable and valuable member Starfleet has ever had, Mr. Leslie.

I'd watch a Daneel Olivlaw one, but it would still probably end up being redundant with the rest of the book videos.

Dinobot from Beast Wars
Londo and G'Kar from Babylon 5

Babylon 5's Delenn would be an interesting subject, first because the B5 fandom seldom talks about her, and second because she deserves a thorough SF Debris-style evisceration.

On the Trek side, I feel that B'elanna Torres needs to be examined. She's a character who has a lot going for her once you scratch the surface.

...evisceration? Is something Delenn deserves? ....did we watch the same show?

Were you thinking of a different word maybe? One that doesn't entail a removal of internal organs?

It's possible he got the word wrong and meant examination. Or that he's indeed using evisceration in its metaphorical context, that is, for someone to brutally criticize the character in question for their flaws and misdeeds.

Presumably this is linked to her being the deciding vote to attack Humanity, and the attack escalating into genocide.

Metaphorical evisceration is what I meant. I'm not sure how anyone could literally eviscerate a fictional character.

Delenn deserves a in-depth deconstruction because she got away with far too much without ever being called on it in-universe.

I'd like to see him do Admiral Cain from nuBSG. One of the best villains in 21st century TV.

Also, out of spite I kind of want to see him do Shatterstar just for the inevitable dovetail into an extended rant about why Liefeld is a garbage writer and Liefeld's characters are garbage characters (except for Deadpool, who's basically somebody else using a forgettable Liefeld character to poke holes in Liefeld).
