DAY 6: *FAVORITE ANTAGONIST*

Admittedly, I really liked Count Olaf and his Troupe from the A Series of Unfortunate Events series by Lemony Snicket.

I thought Olaf's multiple disguises and his mean behavior/outrageous actions were pretty funny and entertaining.  It was interesting to see the different names and shenanigans he would come up with each book, and I thought it was frustrating-hilarious how he always managed to trick everyone but Violent, Klaus and Sunny.  
  














Snicket's description of the Troupe and their names were also pretty funny and cool.  They were basically a clump of losers and weirdos, and were depicted as such.

I love the portrayal of Olaf and his Troupe in the A Series of Unfortunate Events movie, and I thought Olaf was a lovable character, despite being all evil and such.   I was however, really disappointed at how underrated and how little recognition it got.  And I was massively upset that they never finished the series.

"Le sigh." 

If only they had turned the rest of the books into a movie.
(Plus, the actress who played Violet is so pretty!)
