History Characters / TheBabysitter2017

* CoolLoser: On one hand, Cole is constantly picked on by the neighborhood bully (Jeremy), who also eggs his house. On the other, he's reasonably good-looking for a kid and he's pals with his smoking hot teenaged babysitter. Things change by the end of thre film, with Cole becoming an unlikely hero and now has [[spoiler: his first girlfriend]].

* LaserGuidedKarma: At the end, when he and his two goons are looking at [[spoiler: the smashed front of Cole's house]], his bike [[ICallItVera Cindy]] is run over by Cole's parents in their haste to reach their son, whom he's been cruelly bullying.

* TheBully: More of a casual douche than a full-blown bully, but he does enjoy making Cole feel like shit.

* SpannerInTheWorks: Near the end of the first film, Cole turns to Jeremy for help by telling him about the cultists' plan to kill him. Jeremy fakes him out by offering to let Cole ride on his bicycle so he can escape, only to egg Cole's face instead and abandon him. Except the egg is what ends up saving his life only minutes later. Meaning, Max would have succeeded had it not been for Jeremy.

* ScreamingGirl: When she hears the police arrive. It could be {{foreshadowing}} since she becomes the only casualty of the cult's encounter with the police.

* HateSink: [[spoiler:Upon her reveal as the main villain in ''Killer Queen'', Melanie stands in a jarring contrast to both her previous innocent characterization, the LaughablyEvil cultists, and even Bee's altruistic qualities. In addition to being manipulating to Cole, she is revealed to be the de-facto leader of the new cult, and restarting the sacrifice, showing a new cruel and narcissistic personality to boot while she tries to kill Cole and Phobe. Even her extremely neglectful father (whom she also kills) isn't used as an excuse for her, as her reasons for making a DealWithTheDevil was to gain followers and become a successful online influencer.]]

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: If he hadn't egged Cole's face, Max would have killed Cole because he spared him to see him long enough to [[spoiler: wipe the egg off with his hands. A decision that inadvertently lead to Max's own demise]].

* SpannerInTheWorks: Near the end of the first film, Cole turns to Jeremy for help by telling him about the cultists' plan to kill him. Jeremy fakes him out by offering to let Cole ride on his bicycle so he can escape, only to egg Cole's face instead and leave him to his fate. Except the egg on face ends up saving his life only minutes later. Meaning, Max would have succeeded had it not been for Jeremy.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Most likely if it weren't for his egging, Max would have [[spoiler: killed Cole, who spared him to see him live long enough to stand up to Jeremy]].
* [[ScaryBlackMan Scary Black Kid]]: To Cole, anyway.

* CorruptTheCutie: Between the first and second film Melanie goes from a precocious, but very kind girl to a [[spoiler:narcissistic, manipulative killer, after signing her name in the book of the Devil.]]

* GreenEyedMonster: Melanie makes a couple of comments towards the end of the second film that seem to imply some jealousy over Cole now crushing on Phoebe instead of her. However, it’s also pretty clear that it’s more due to [[spoiler:the loss of the ego-boosting Cole’s feelings gave her, rather than having feelings for Cole herself.]]
-->'''Melanie, to Phoebe:''' Hey! You are ''not'' prettier than me.

* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler:In the second movie.]]

** Later during the film, she accuses Cole of being a pervert for touching her injured boob, ignoring that he only did it in self-defense because she was trying to kill him.

* NonActionGuy: Downplayed: the spirit is willing but the man is weak. In the first film, after being sent after Cole, [[spoiler:the 12 year old easily kills him by shoving him over a bannister.]] In the second film, [[spoiler:he lasts long enough to come face-to-face with Cole in the cabin by virtue of doing nothing but follow Max around, only to clumsily crush himself with a chandelier.]]

* FauxAffablyEvil: He's amusing in how he constantly tells jokes and suffers the most indignities among the cultists, but he's still a villainous coward.
