Top Ten Maximum Ride Characters

The Top Ten
Fang

Fang really cares about Max and looks out for her. Yeah, he left her, but it was because he thought it was for her own good.

Although I must admit he made me mad with the whole Ari thing in Book 3, I still believe he is the best character.

Is there a movie of Maximum Ride? If you know, do tell. Anyways, Fang is my favorite character! I don't know why, but anyone who says he isn't awesome - I swear you're dead to me. I will personally bash you. The same goes for Max, Iggy, and all the rest. There should totally be more chapters of Fang's Blog. He rocks the deep sea!

Max

To honor (or dishonor...) the movie, I'm going to comment on every single person here. Max is a pretty good female lead. She is rash and doesn't really take 'no' for an answer. I like that about her. But after book three, she becomes more agreeable, cares more about relationships and her looks, and wants to save the poor dying fish and penguins. Ughhh, Max. Just let them die. After they got rid of all her flaws, they even made the one thing she's terrible at (cooking) one of her skills. All of a sudden, she can cook, looks pretty, and is extremely smart and perfect. THAT'S NOT MAX. BOOKS ONE-THREE ARE MAX! Ughhh, James Patterson. Really?

Ari

I like Ari. Sure, being brought back from the dead three times is a stupid author choice, but blame JP. He's a good character, and I like when it shows his character depth in the stories.

Angel

It feels like a personal offense whenever someone says bad stuff about Angel. Imagine if you had all those powers at that age. She just made a few mistakes, that's all.

Gazzy

He's cute, but they never talk about him. He is a good character who is smart and funny, but also very determined. It's admirable - his love for his family, I mean.

Iggy

Iggy is probably my favorite character because he doesn't really give up, and he has a lot of character! I mean, he's blind, but thankfully they don't make him complain at all or put unnecessary drama about him and his blindness in the books, which I appreciate! He gets irritated easily and is pretty sarcastic, so he has a good mix of flaws. The only problem (like Nudge and Gazzy) is that he's rarely mentioned.

Why is he lower than Gazzy and Angel? I understand Ari, Fang, and Max being above him, considering they are more of main characters than Iggy... But still! Well, he is my favorite and deserves full recognition for his awesomeness!

Nudge

I really like her! She is underrated, definitely, but she has a good character. The one thing I liked about the Maximum Ride movie was her. She had good character development and had more of a personality compared to the books. Although she doesn't talk much in the movie, that wasn't really her thing. But in the books, you'd think that she would talk more, because that's Nudge's thing. She talks. But she doesn't. She is barely mentioned, and Fang talks WAY more than her. And he's supposed to play the creepy, quiet dude.

Jeb
Mr. Martinez

She's okay. She plays a motherly role that we don't get to see in the movie. In the movie, she is more of a doctor than a mother, which disappointed me. But she cares for Max and wants to do what's best. I like her character.

Total

The Newcomers

? Mike
? J.J.
The Contenders
Ratchet
The School

Not really a character and not really deserving of a spot for the best character. But the whitecoats are terrible people who shouldn't experiment on people.

Phoenix

She is the daughter of Maximum Ride and Fang! I can already tell that she is going to be just like her parents.

Dylan
Holden Squibb
Ella

Eh. She is okay. She's just there, not really a good or bad character. She's just a character.

Fax
Star
Anne

I felt kind of bad for her. Max hated her right when they moved in, and she tried to provide them with shelter and food. Max acted like Anne was evil before it was revealed that she really was evil!
