Favorite Fictional Fathers, As Decided by Mythologie Heroes
We recently did a shout out in our Facebook group asking for YOUR favorite fictional fathers, be they from movies, television, or books.
The race was tight but here are the dads chosen by your votes:
5. Three Way Tie!
Fifth place was a three way tie between three VERY different characters: Goofy from Disney, Henry from Psych, Din Djarin from The Mandalorian.
4. Elrond from Lord of the Rings
The father of Arwen, Elladan, and Elrohir as well as the foster father of Aragorn, took the fourth place spot.
3. Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird
We enter classic literature for our number three pick, the widower and father of two, Atticus Finch.
2. Samwise Gamgee from Lord of the Rings
Another Lord of the Rings entry, Samwise and Rosie had an impressive brood of THIRTEEN little Halflings to raise. While we don't get to see much of Sam as a father during the books and movies, the glimpses we get are sweet and wholesome, making him an obvious favorite.
1. Arthur Weasley from Harry Potter
And the Harry Potter series dad of seven takes the top spot! Since Molly Weasley won our Favorite Fictional Mothers poll, this probably shouldn't be a surprise.
Some Honorable Mentions:
- Johnny Rose from Schitt's Creek
- Kratos from God of War
- Daniel Hillard/Mrs. Doubtfire from Mrs. Doubtfire.
So who is your pick?
