Max the Magnificent

Max the Magnificent is the self-proclaimed "magnificent" kid monster who appears in Episode 1971 of Sesame Street.

Max writes his name in chalk on walls and doors all over Sesame Street, which is the source of frustration for Luis, David, and Maria. They're too upset and concentrated on erasing his writing to define the word "magnificent" for Big Bird, who makes his way down the street to find that the door to his nest has been vandalized as well. Big Bird confronts Max and asks him how he'd like it if "Big Bird the Beautiful" was written on his walls and doors, which helps him see the error of his ways. However, Max hesitates to apologize to the adults when he hears them make threatening remarks. He decides to write an apology letter and slinks behind Big Bird as he delivers it and formally introduces him to the adults.

In his first reveal scene, Max is seen with maliciously aligned eyes, which are repositioned to invoke a friendlier expression in later scenes.
