20 Fictional Characters That Deserve Their Own Spin-Offs
Fictional worlds are full of colorful side characters because, deep down, the writers know protagonists are boring as hell. Like, what did Harry Potter ever do besides almost get killed a bunch of times? Did Jon Snow have a single personality trait? And we all know Luke Skywalker was, is, and forever will be a whiny little bitch.Enter the spin-off, an opportunity to fully flesh out the experience of someone far more interesting. It’s no surprise that spin-offs often surpass their origins, and some of the best shows on TV — Frasier, The Simpsons, Viva La Bam — are so good that we forget they were spin-offs in the first place. Naturally, when user Trxxi asked r/AskReddit, “What fictional character deserves a spin-off the most?,” the people were eager for more quirky adventures and fewer brooding heroes.
