Every M. Night Shyamalan fan probably has at least one character who triggers that immediate “please let them be okay” reaction.
Sometimes it is a child trying to make sense of something far too big for them. Sometimes it is someone carrying grief, fear, or loneliness so openly that you cannot help leaning toward them a little. Sometimes it is a character who is tougher than they first seem, which somehow makes you feel even more protective.
So this week’s Fan Friday question is simple:
Which M. Night character do you feel the most protective of?
You can go with the obvious picks, the underrated ones, or the character you did not expect to care about until halfway through the movie. Maybe it is Cole in The Sixth Sense. Maybe it is Ivy in The Village. Maybe it is Bo in Signs. Maybe it is someone from a later film who has been stuck in your head longer than you expected.
If you want, tell us why too. Was it the performance? The vulnerability? The way the movie treated them? Or was it one scene that locked the feeling in place?
Drop your pick in the comments. I am curious which names show up first.
