My fellow MSTies a propose to you a question, who do you believe is/are the snottiest or brattiest child(ren), in an MST film? For me, it would be the cadre of kids in Invasion of the Neptune Men, now I if it's a result of dubbing but they are just like nails on a chalkboard, to me. Maybe it's because having one snotty know-it-all kid was bad enough, but having a whole pack of them is just grating to me.

Mickey from The Prince of Space gets my vote. He's not just annoying and shrill, he's ill-mannered and insulting. Fortunately he mostly disappears from the second half of the movie. The Invasion of the Neptune Men kids do grate on the nerves and it seems like they're in every scene that's not stock footage but none of them really stand out as especially unpleasant, not like Mickey.
Kenny from Gamera is a special case. "Bratty" isn't the term for him. Maybe "dangerously psychotic" would be closer.

Kenny from the original Gamera pretty much sets the standard. Gamera's stomping all over the place, destroying a city, killing thousands, causing indescribable damage, and Kenny is whining "Don't shoot Gamera! He's a good turtle!"
Still, Bobby from the Rocky Jones episodes gives Kenny a run for his money.
Then, there's those two little bastards Akio and Tom in Gamera Vs Guiron -- and, as annoying as they are, they're very nearly upstaged by Akio's little sister.

How about Johnny and Carla from Robot Monster? Carla can't stop asking someone to play house with her, ignores the danger to run after Roy and Alice, and she ends up getting strangled for it. Johnny is slightly less stupid but still annoys because this is all his dream!!!!!! (Or is it?)

God, I forgot the Robot Monster children. I'd say Johnny was stupider, actually, partly because he's older and should know better but mostly because he blabs the secret behind their survival to Ro-Man.
