Wholesome Showdown! LET'S GO, respectfully please.

Get ready for a long one everybody. (Disclaimer: There's still so much I don't know about. I'm still a newbie fan to the upcoming franchises I will be discussing, so please correct me if I'm mistaken. Thank you.)

Over the past year of 2023, my tastes in media and stuff have shifted significantly. Part of that includes finding a new favorite series of mine and rediscovering two films that I think is close to being a perfect duology (Soon to be a trilogy next year): Ah! (or Oh!) My Goddess and The Paddington Franchise.

These stories always lift my spirit up, and that is in thanks (not entirely, as there are many more reasons to enjoy these tales than just what I'm bringing up) to the main characters of these 2 series: The Goddess Belldandy and Paddington Brown. They always bright up scenes whenever they appear, to the point you feel a smidge bummed out when you don't see them anymore. These two individuals just personify every single positive adjective in existence, which had me come up with an intriguing comparison.

As I continued to discover the extent to how much of a well behaved, friendly, warming aura, infectious smiling, do-gooder of a person Belldandy is, I kept wondering in the back of my mind if there was anyone else in not just manga/anime, but in all of the fiction I know that could even match half of Belldandy's politeness. I'm sure there are several more that I am currently unaware of, but the immediate rival that came to mind was the one and only Paddington the Bear. After a watch of both his films and researching his legacy, the bear of Darkest Peru just radiates the same level of comfort and warmth that Belldandy does. I mean just think about it with their similarities:

Both are polite, well-meaning individuals

They treat everyone they meet with an equal chance of respect and trust

Love animals

Never attempt to harm anyone or have malicious motives

Oblivious to the ill intentions of others most of the time

Open to new experiences/activities

Have an antagonist that wants them gone (Sayoko and Mr. Curry)

Form a face of anger and determination whenever the situation calls for it, but never to inflict it from out of nowhere

Inhumanly Honest

And originating from literature

There are differences to be sure, but you see my point; they're just a couple of goody two shoes that I hope to be even 10% as kind as they are in my own life. I bet $200 that if these two ever met, they would become instant BFFs in a snap. Having said all that, I now lead my character examinations to all you by asking this: Who is the more wholesome character? Who do you believe to be the nicest, friendliest, most caring individual out of these two rays of sunshine, based on what I've explained so far and your knowledge of both contestants?

Have an Extraordinary Life, y'all.

i think it's hilarious that no matter how important the situation is. annabeth will stop everything to greet an animal. stuck in the underworld and trying to save your friend's mom's soul while simultaneously trying to prevent a war between the gods? pet the three-headed guard dog. trapped in the deepest pit of hell and on the brink of death while trying to prevent the rise of a goddess determined to harm everyone and everything you care about? cuddle the half-dead cat. trying to help your boyfriend get his second college recommendation letter so the two of you can begin living the safe and happy life you had always wanted together? adopt and share custody of a hellhound with a goddess.
