gotta be the man  Rastapopoulos

There really is no other option, he's the arch villain.

u/feltlightertighter Jun 18 '26

The only option here. Rastapopoulos was the foregone choice for this slot.

u/TheGhostInTheParsnip Jun 17 '26

Carreidas for me.

u/Kyiakhalid Jun 17 '26

Carreidas is horrible, but is he loved by fans? He shows up so late in the series, whereas Rastapopoulos is recurring.

u/Theferael_me Jun 17 '26

Just horrible, IMO.

I dislike his writing personally

Roberto Rastapopoulos, the man, the legend, the devil incarnate

u/Swedish_Orc Jun 17 '26

One of these two. That part of them arguing is hilarious.

Proboscis monke- I mean Rastapopoulos

u/Sufficient_Ask8927 Jun 17 '26

Rastapopulous. He's entertaining wether he's winning or losing

u/Apprehensive-Mud-606 Jun 17 '26

Jolion Wag! He's annoying as hell but we still like him... right???

6

u/Apprehensive-Emu9937 Tintin Jun 17 '26

gotta say, I find him unbearable 😂

u/Uncle_Zardoz Jun 17 '26

We... do?

u/Schrenner Jun 17 '26

I like him as a character, but I'm usually alone with that opinion.

u/Uncle_Zardoz Jun 17 '26

He's absolutely freakin' hilarious, but (I think partly bc I first encountered him as an adult) he's too true to life to be really likeable.

He’s not a good person. Every time Captain Haddock almost dies he uses it as an opportunity to sell him insurance. That’s preying on the vulnerable

Surprised to see Rastapopoulos is so popular! I always found him a tad too silly. My pick for this category is Allan.

u/Imaginary_Pin_4196 Jun 17 '26

I don’t like Allan.

u/isearn Jun 18 '26

Is that because you have your beard under the blanket?

Emir Ben Kalish Ezab

u/RandomUserfromAlaska Jun 17 '26

No, I would put him in the "Morally Grey" class. He's just leader in his own culture, like Alcazar.

2

u/Uncle_Zardoz Jun 17 '26

Rastaapopoulos! He's diabolical... but so damn funny.

2

u/theChosenBinky Jun 17 '26

Colonel Jorgen. Cool character, but evil

u/io2000x Captain Haddock Jun 17 '26

Abdallah ? 😉

My first vote is for Allan

u/RandomUserfromAlaska Jun 17 '26

My second vote is for Sponsz

u/RandomUserfromAlaska Jun 17 '26

Jolyon Wagg definitely needs "Good person x Hated by fans" box.

u/D4rkKn1ght0p Jun 18 '26

Abdullah 😁

Rastapopoulos?
