Kevin McCallister

Kevin McCallister is the main protagonist of the Home Alone franchise. He was portrayed by Macaulay Culkin.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) He is one of John Hughes' most memorable characters.
 * 2) He is a very likable and relatable protagonist.
 * 3) Unlike the rest of his family, he is kindhearted and sensible.
 * 4) He proves time and time again on how mature and responsible he is.
 * 5) He is wise beyond his years for the most part, as he helps others out their problems by giving them great life advice.
 * 6) Character development: While this is understandable and fairly justified, considering the fact that none of his family members respects him, he wished that he will never see his family again for the rest of his life. After being left behind, Kevin enjoys his freedom being alone, only to realize how lonely it felt to him and to acknowledge that he didn't appreciate his family.
 * 7) He has his funny moments, especially at the start of Home Alone 1.
 * 8) He is creative, as he develops elaborate traps to defeat Marv and Harry on his very own, which is very impressive.
 * 9) Macaulay Culkin did an excellent performance in portraying his character in Home Alone 1.
 * 10) * Especially where his scream is comedic and memorable.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) While still a likable and kindhearted kid, he can be rather mischievous and rebellious.
 * 2) Given that he is still a kid, he can lack some common sense in both films likes kids usually do despite Kevin's talents.
 * 3) Some of his traps against Marv and Harry can be over-the-top levels of cruelty and painfully lucky, even if Kevin is still the protagonist where the aforementioned antagonists were ineffectual.
