Characters you hate that everyone loves

[Godhead]

Never really could stand Mission in KOTOR. She's just so, bratty.

 

[Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon]

Nearly every character from any JRPG and anime that has ever existed.

I seriously doubt that you've seen enough anime, or played enough JRPGs, to claim that.

OT: Aigis, off Persona 3. Maybe hate is going a little too far, but I found her character to be bland at best. Her character was nothing I hadn't really seen before, but people love her and treat her like their little Robowaifu.

Plus, she didn't really fit with all the other characters. Everyone else is mostly normal, or at least possible to exist in the real world. Then Aigis comes along and she just... Doesn't fit. She didn't belong with the rest of the cast, and I honestly think the game would be better with someone else instead of her.

 

[remnant_phoenix]

The "wolf pack" from The Hangover, AKA the most overrated "comedy" in years. I think I chuckled maybe once in the whole movie.

Those guys suck. Seriously, they're a bunch of base, unlikeable, unfunny douches.

 

[Camera]

Characters like Joel (Last of Us) or John Marston (Red Dead Redemption). Being a grizzled tough guy with a rough past does not make a good character. Neither of these characters have any notable personality traits, and yet are often hailed as the best protagonists in games. In fact you could switch these two characters halfway through the game and the player would not notice if not for the out of place clothes. They are the epitome of bland, uninteresting characters and are unworthy of any praise.

 

[Olliesama]

Sasuke Uchiha from Naruto.
I can't pinpoint why except that he is treated as amazing, strong and cool when he never displays any of these characteristics, Itatchi is superior in almost every way, Naruto has gained abilities that can be seen as almost god-tier in his universe and yet somehow Sasuke is seen as at least equal with him, if not superior.
As well as that his selfish arrogant attitude got boring after a couple of chapters.

]The entire cast of Soul Eater, even the "badass" ones.

I just find most of them to be bland and uninteresting, and when they're not being bland they're being annoying as hell, not to mention it's hard to call any of them a "badass" when they're constantly getting their asses handed to them.

The only character I liked was Excalibur, who was suppose to be boring and irritating.

Very much this actually, they feel like their personalities and opinions are centered around a single, usually stupid gimmick, especiialy Death the Kid and Black Star, whereas it should be that they have unique personalities and opinions with maybe a gimmick as a gag. It makes the characters incredibly underdeveloped, bland and uninspired.

 

[leviathanmisha]

Sam Winchester from Supernatural. Like everyone I know is "OMG POOR SAMMY" and I'm just like "oh hello plot device of 'what is wrong with Sam' from season one."

 

[Dirge Eterna]

I detest Superman and find invincible super heroes boring as hell, he hasn't much of a personality and is just plain annoying. I like Batman when he is portrayed as off his rocker and not as a perfect crime fighter. If he killed off all his arch enemies there would be as much depth of character and it would be obnoxious oh look supervillain X rises, 2 episodes later he is dead, not interesting. I find the Flash and Wonder Woman bland and uninteresting. Wolverine has had points where I found him interesting mostly when he was in a comic with other characters and not alone, but as a whole they have overplayed him. I generally prefer the villains over the heroes but in Spiderman I overwhelmingly prefer Venom, Carnage and even Doctor Octopus over Spidey.

 

[Idon'tcareanymore]

Harley god-damned Quin. I do not get why everyone likes her. Her character is just annoying to me on every level, from her voice, to the fact that she loves the Joker. In fact, her entire character seems to be based around the idea of mocking the concept of the sidekick. And that's fine, but did she have to be over the top annoying??? Seriously... what is there to her that people like? (Yes, I know you all will flame me for this. I don't care.)

 

[Pinkscare]

Spider-Man. I think the movies had a lot to do with it.

 

[poison1010]

Iron man... I really dont get whats special about wearing a suit made of iron.

 

[rookie411]

Katniss Everdeen from the Hunger Games; mainly the second two books. She becomes a moany annoying character after being such a strong female lead in the first book and she just got on my nerves, and now because Of Jennifer Lawrence everyone loves Katniss

 

[LostintheWick]

Nathan Drake
Batman
Oh... and Nathan Drake, again.
Mostly Nathan Drake. He's a mass murderer. As for Batman... well... I guess I'm just tired of him. He has been force down my throat so much that the taste has grown stale.

 

[Fredvdp]

I don't hate the character, but I don't see why Boba Fett from the Star Wars Trilogy is such a popular character. He barely does anything in those movies and in the end he's defeated by a blind Han Solo and gets eaten by a plant.

 

[Aurora Firestorm]

Yosuke Hanamura from Persona 4. (rest snipped for brevity)

Can't say I didn't like Yosuke, because he's a comic relief who didn't utterly *suck* like Junpei. Granted, that might be some of the reason people like him; Junpei was such a horrible jackass excuse for a sidekick that Yosuke looks like he's made of solid gold by comparison. Also, the Persona games are about everyone being flawed (hence Shadows), so...yeah, I was okay with Yosuke's failings. Also, Junpei was an unshaven teenage douchebag who was constantly jumping for attention and pissing on his territory like a puppy who really wanted to prove it could run with the big dogs, whereas Yosuke was totally okay being the slightly immature but still funny sidekick, where the story put him. Junpei had no redeeming value except for the Chidori part, where he sort of grew up, except by then I hated him so much that there was basically no way for him to recover. His voice was annoying; his character design screamed "lazy ass"; he was a backbiting loser whose entire character theme was being good at nothing at all. Yosuke actually pressed all the right "teenage sidekick" buttons for me that Junpei set on fire with a gas can.



Anyway, I can't stand Batman and Superman. Superman is an overpowered Gary Stu like the kind a six-year-old would dream up, and Batman is basically the same thing but for angsty teenage gadget fetishists. Neither of them are particularly compelling characters, and in addition Superman gets hamstrung by the fact that presenting him with a threat that has any element of surprise to it is basically impossible. If you want techno-fetishism, go for Iron Man, at least he has a real personality. If you want overpowered...go read fanfiction, Mary Sues are basically what every fledgling writer starts with, so there's no shortage.

 

[Machine Man 1992]

I dislike Garrus from Mass Effect; he's boring, inconsistent, hypocritical, a hot head and a fuck up. I don't tolerate no fuck ups.

I don't get why he's so popular; Is it the voice? Is it he's good at sniping things? What?

 

[xWestie]

Most comic superheroes. (Except maybe Batman). Just not my thing.

Amy Pond. Everyone I know loves her (especially the guys), but IMO she's the start of the companions going downhill. Fair do's, I know I didn't watch the older series but the Doctor's companions disn't have to be someone destined to save the world to travel with the Doctor. They could be anyone. But now 'The girl who waited', and 'The impossible girl'? (No I don't particularly like Clara much either)...

Pikachu. ....do I really need to say anything on this?

 

[Cabisco]

I've actually surprised by the large amount of people saying Batman I thought I was the only one getting annoyed by it. It's not so much the character himself which I find slightly boring but the over the top sycophancy that people have over him now, I think to me he just symbolises the current problem with movies in that everything has to be a slightly darker reboot from the past at the expense of new original ideas (oh Pacific Rim how I loved you).

edit: Apart from those college humour 'Badman' videos, I love that guy. I'd watch a movie with that version of batman.

Otherwise I think every character from every GTA, I love those games but really it's about the huge open world and dicking about, the main characters have never appealed to me.

Also as a big WWE fan, I don't like any of HBK, Austin, Flair or Bryan and to a lesser extent Jericho which to the majority of the IWC is heresy.

 

[Pyramid Head]

Deadpool.
Most anime characters though Naruto and Luffy especially. I hate stupid protagonists.
Superman
Pinkie Pie
Marcus Fenix
Dick Gumshoe
The guy from Call of Duty with the pornstache
Ron Paul

 

[rob_simple]

Master Chief. It's not so much that I hate him but more that I just don't get the fuss surrounding him (or his series, for that matter.)

There are just much, much cooler/more badass men in robot suits out there *cough*Gray Fox*cough cough*.

Sandow however is my favourite member of the roster
