IA Proposal - Jonathon Loughran

Its been a while since I’ve proposed a character so I decided to do one from the Hotel Transylvania series.

Who Is He

Jonathan Loughran is the tritagonist of the Hotel Transylvania series. He is human who stumbled at the hotel and eventually fell in love with Dracula’s daughter Mavis and married her.

Whats The Work

Hotel Transylvania is an animated franchise that centers around Count Dracula as he runs a hotel for monsters.

What Makes Him Admirable

Hotel Transylvania

• Gave the monsters a sense of fun by letting them ride his scooter, telling them his stories,
• Upon learning that realizing why Dracula was so protective due to his wife being killed by angry humans, he initially considered leaving so as to not hurt his feelings
• Confessed his feelings to Mavis and apologized to her for claiming he hated monsters, clarifiying to her that he only said it out of fear that Dracula was going to suck all the blood out of his body.
• Because of his friendliness, he showed Dracula that not all humans were bad, culminating in him eventually meeting more humans at a monster festival where he learned that the humans didn’t hate them anymore.

Hotel Transylvania 2

• Following the birth of his son Dennis, he spent the following few years as Dracula’s assistant and the hotel’s Human-Relations Coordinator

Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation

• Inspired Mavis to let Dracula talk to Erica about his feelings.
• Helped Dracula prevent the Kraken from wiping out all the monsters by choosing the song the Macarena, which was positive enough to free the Kraken from Abraham Van Helsing’s control.

Hotel Transylvania: Transformania

• Traveled to South America to help Dracula find a new crystal for the monsterfication ray so that and turn himself back into a vampire.
• Upon gaining wings, he saved Dracula from falling to his death.
• Following the destruction of the hotel, he reassured Dracula that he would rebuild the hotel the exact same way.

Admirable Standard

I’d say he manages to stand out, even when compared to Mavis and Dracula as he was the one who convinced them that humans weren’t bad and no longer hated them, thus ending Dracula and the rest of the monsters fear and prejudice against them and even letting them stay at the hotel. Additionally, he played a major role in preventing Van helsing and the kraken from wiping out all the monsters by choosing a positive enough song to free the kraken from Helsing’s control.

What Makes Him Inconsistent

• Despite being well meaning, he can be careless and reckless and incompetent, which sometimes gets himself or other people hurt. For instances:
  • When disguised as a monster, he went into a pool which nearly pealed off his make up and exposed him as a human.
  • When Vlad called him a wimp, he challenged him to a fight and exposed himself as human, despite Dracula warning him to keep his cool.
  • For the 125th anniversary of the hotel, he had Frankenstein juggle a bunch of chainsaws near zombies using with tools with fire, despite the former having pyrophobia. As a result, Frank freaks out and throws the chainsaws in the air which cuts the chandelier off and nearly causes it to land on a bunch of monsters.
  • As a monster, he used his hand to hit a bunch of mosquitoes that were on Dracula, despite the fact it was way bigger than him, thus temporarily knocking him out unconscious. After this, he immediately gets himself and Dracula lost while carrying him
• Although, not an outright jerk and usually nice, he can be somewhat selfish and inconsiderate to others. For instances
  • He went along with Dracula’s plan to let Vlad traumatize Dennis so that he would become a vampire.
  • He let the gremlins throw the temporarily human Dracula outside of the plane while tied to a rope, despite how terrified and uncomfortable he was throughout the flight and him nearly throwing up.
  • He let Dracula carry a very big backpack throughout their entire journey, despite how heavy it was and how much Dracula was struggling to lift it and how it was exhausting him. Not helping much is the fact that he could have carried it

Final Verdict

I’ll give him a yes but what do you guys think.
