This time on Gridlocked Popcast, we’re picking the characters we’ll defend no matter what — the ones we’ll support, argue for, and maybe even die on a hill for. Each host brings a lock, a swing pick, and an edge pick, with choices ranging from beloved heroes to chaos gremlins, complicated villains, and scene-stealing weirdos. Along the way, we get into what makes a character stick: loyalty, charisma, growth, menace, comfort, nostalgia, and sometimes just being really, really cute. As usual, nobody knows anyone else’s picks ahead of time, which means the affection is real and the judgment is immediate.
