9 Characters Who Broke Their Backs Carrying The Entire Movie Or Show

Sharon McFadden

The responsibility of saving the show from becoming a disaster sometimes falls onto another character rather than the lead. Some shows or Movies were so boring that we felt if it wasn’t for THAT one character, we would have quit way sooner. This character can be a side character, or even the villain, as long as they were played right.








With that being said, let’s celebrate the Characters Who Carry The Movie or show. Bravo to these amazing people, because without their incredible performances, we wouldn’t have such compelling movies or shows to entertain ourselves. And, of course, easter eggs are also a fun reason to re-watch these films and discover some hidden details that you’ve never noticed before. These Characters Who Carry The Movie might be found here.







1. Christian Bale - Gorr the God Butcher In Thor: Love and Thunder

Christian Bale always goes all out for his movies. He deserves better than Thor: Love and Thunder. It’s safe to say that his performance elevates the whole movie. His portrayal of Gorr was heartbreaking at first and frightening later. Bale makes the viewers sympathize with Gorr. Without him, Thor: Love and Thunder would be flat and boring as hell.

2. Elizabeth Olsen - Wanda Maximoff from WandaVision

With what’s going on with all the Marvel shows right now, Wanda Maximoff is our only hope. Without Elizabeth Olsen, WandaVision would have been a flop. The actress played the role of Scarlet Witch perfectly.

3. Margot Robbie - Harley Quinn In Suicide Squad

The first Suicide Squad was so tedious to finish. Everything was falling apart and consistency was none existence. Had it not for Harley Quinn played by Margot Robbie, we doubt that many people would care about this movie in the first place. She was the only fun part to watch, charming and innocent but still violent and cunning. Harley Quinn was the only acceptable part of this movie.

4. Amy Adams - Giselle In Enchanted

Amy Adams is the only one who can play a silly and over-the-top princess role without making her character seems annoying or cringe. Her character steps out from a fairytale to the real world, knowing absolutely nothing about how cold and cruel this new world can be. Giselle’s cluelessness would have been a pain to watch without Amy Adams’s charm.

5. Aidan Gallagher - Number Five In Umbrella Academy

The Umbrella Academy was doing quite well for the first season, but things quickly went out of control after that. The main cast was fine, but the story overall was just messy. Lucky for us, Number Five saved the whole show from becoming a flop. Aidan Gallagher is such an amazing actor, considering he’s playing a witty, stubborn, irritable 58-year-old man stuck in the body of a 13-year-old boy. His parts are so fun to watch and he deserves all the spotlight.

6. Claudia Jessie - Eloise Bridgerton In Bridgerton

Bridgerton wouldn’t be half as fun without Eloise. Claudia Jessie’s character is the funniest, wittiest, and most entertaining part of the show. The others are good, but she is great at her role.

7. Norman Reedus - Daryl Dixon In The Walking Dead

Fans of The Walking Dead series can all agree that Daryl Dixon is one of the best characters in the show. He went through many changes in the series. Without his character development, the show won’t be nearly as good. Norman Reedus played his role perfectly.

8. Jane Lynch - Sue Sylvester In Glee

Jane Lynch's back must hurt badly after all the years she spent as Sue in Glee. The show might try to make Sue look like the villain at the first glance, but we all know that without the coach, Glee would just be Rachel whining. Sue Sylvester singlehandedly kept Glee alive for six seasons.

9. Misha Collins - Castiel In Supernatural

Supernatural is a great series and its success is no doubt thanks to the amazing Winchester brothers. However, aside from the main characters, Castiel was also a big part of the series. The show just got better once he was introduced. Supernatural wouldn’t be as good without him.
