From what book/comic/game/movie/TV series do you know most characters?


If you started to list characters you can name (at least one name they are called by, not necessarily exact full name), from what franchise do you think you'd get the longest list?



For me clear winner would be Pokemon, but that doesn't count because they are different species of Pokemon and not actual individual characters.

That excluded, Star Wars may win due sheer volume of movies, books, comics and games.
Masters of the Universe or Transformers could put up a fight, but I've forgotten too much of those.
My Little Pony is more fresh, but I'm not sure it quite gets to SW in amount of characters.

Probably the West Wing and Game of Thrones. I could think of the names of the characters of other shows I've watched like Dallas, ER, LA Law, and the newer ones from this century like Breaking Bad. I just don't clutter my mind with remembering all the character names from shows I don't watch anymore unless someone talks about it then if I can't remember, google is my friend.

The Wire or the A Song of Ice and Fire series. There are so many characters in both, though I wonder if I'd be able to name the characters through memory. When the plethora of minor characters are brought up in the text I don't have to check in the glossary for who they are, regardless.

Re:


I've watched it so many times, I could possibly identify most of them without looking.

I know Jane Austen's works quite well having done a university course on her work.

Probably Breaking Bad, because there is a pretty large cast for a series, and I really got into that show.

I loved that show. I haven't been able to get into the spin-off Better Call Saul though. It doesn't work for me. But then spin-offs seldom do. I watched a couple of episodes of Young Sheldon, and got bored.

I hope the game of thrones spin-offs don't do that.
