Monday Morning Poll: Your Favorite "Green" Movie Character
Filed under: Animation, Comedy, Fandom, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Monday Morning Poll

Since today is St. Patrick's Day, and since it's practically a law to wear green on St. Patty's Day, we figured why not come up with a list of characters (most of which appear in movies, or have movies being made about them) who wear green and ask you which one is your favorite. This one was a fun list to create -- truth be told, I went back and forth with Monika over IM for about a half hour tossing out a number of characters. To coincide with the recently-released trailer, the first character we have to name is The Incredible Hulk. He's big, he's nasty, he kicks a whole lot of ass ... and he's green! Other green monsters? How about Frankenstein and Mrs. Frankenstein. Back to green comic book characters, we also have Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Green Goblin and Poison Ivy. Additionally, the upcoming spoof flick Superhero Movie also features a lead character called Dragonfly who -- you guessed it -- wears green. (I'm sure I'm forgetting some random green-wearing comic book characters, so feel free to chime in down below.)
Moving away from the comics, we have my favorite green character -- Kermit the Frog. He's perhaps the nicest green character there is; I mean, even when Kermit gets mad, he still sounds funny ... kinda like Jerry Seinfeld (who I've never seen wear anything green). My second favorite? C'mon ... Yoda! Moving across the spectrum, villains can also wear green -- like Leprechaun (horror version), the Wicked Witch of the West or that darn Grinch who stole Christmas. And finally, how can I leave out the lovable green Ogre ... Shrek! Green is a popular color, eh?
Since there's way too many characters for an official poll, feel free to tell us who your favorite green folks are in the comments below ... and definitely let me know who we forgot. Happy St. Patty's Day!

*Oscar the grouch.... (Sesame st.) being negitive all the time is hard work
*Micheal McKean - Mr.Green... (clue)... FBI agent (never saw that coming)
*Red Green - making duct tape The handiest tool ever
*The Green Ranger- Jason David Frank (power rangers) ok I know its lame but the green ranger storyline was the best the show had and thats saying something.
*The Riddler - Jim Carrey (batman forever) Say what you want but jim carrey was awesome.
*Luigi - John Liguizamo (super mario brothers) I still think they should make a sequel
*Buddy the Elf - Will Farrel (ELF) One of the best holliday movies (IMO)

The Joker and the Riddler both wore green in large quantities, but I'd have to go with Robin Hood! Aside from the fact that I was born in the legend's home city, he was the original hero.
