Its Me, Margaret,the new movie based on Judy Blumes classic novel.
Margaret may not be your typical onscreen heroine; she couldnt be easier to root for.
But is she thebestMargaret?
Thats up for debate.
Margaret Maggie Walsh (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
Portrayed by: Lindsay Crouse
Oh, Professor Walsh.
But then she has to go and start creating part-demon, part-machine super-soldiers.
Couldnt you have just kept on teaching psychology at UC Sunnydale, professor?
She gets abitof leeway for being, well, a child and a cartoon one at that.
Even so, Margarets therealmenace here.
Why the far-superior Andrew (Ryan Reynolds) chooses to stay with her is a mystery.
Thanks, I guess?
She refuses to take care of the house and instead spends her time binging TV and eating bonbons.
She has money to spend but prefers to steal peoples purses.
Shes a feminist anti-hero for the ages, emphasis on theanti.
Shes known for her beauty, her maturity, and not much else.
Even when brought to life onscreen in multiple adaptations, she remains just as unremarkably bland.
We feel for ya, Margaret.
Margaret Maggie Sheffield (The Nanny)
Portrayed by: Nicholle Tom
Maggie is a good kid.
Not a bad character arc!
Margaret Simon (Are You There God?
Margaret means well, and for the most part, she succeeds.
Margaret would be fine with being the tenth-best Margaret.
Does it get her in trouble?
Should someone be babysitting her?
Margaret Maggie Simpson (The Simpsons)
Portrayed by: Nancy Cartwright
Yes, Maggie is a baby.
And no, she doesnt talk.
But somehow, shes still the secret weapon ofThe Simpsons.
She may secretly be the smartest member of the family.
(Sorry, Lisa.)
For that action alone, she wins our utmost respect.
A brilliant but insecure teen who rankles at even a whisper of authority, Meg is no pushover.
Whats not to love?
That feels damn good.
whos always dressed to perfection, Peggy is a Marvel fan favorite.
It doesnt hurt that shes the one true love of Steve Rogers, a.k.a.
Captain America (Chris Evans) and his equal.
We can sing Peggys praises all day.
Margaret Peggy Hill (King of the Hill)
Portrayed by: Kathy Najimy
Is Peggy perfect?
But does any of that really matter when shes so damn likable?
Regardless of her faults, its impossible not to root for Peggy.
Shes devoted to her family, strong as anything, and, occasionally, shes even right.
Thats why shes both our top Margaret and one of our all-time favorite TV characters.
