The thing that bothers me about the list, is that it seems to aspire at being an icon more than a valid list, balancing between trying to calm the fans, picking characters that surprise people (just to not be predictable), and to actually pick good characters.
That being said, everyone's entitled to their opinion and I could agree with some of the rationale more, some less. My list would have looked different, but theirs had some entertainment value, at least to me.
