I know almost everyone here has a fictional character they dislike or downright hate, but is there a character you hated so much than you hate so much, that you want to physically harm them the first chance given?
snipy mc'snipperson
But I digress, Do you have any fictional characters you hate enough that you want to physically harm them if at all possible?
For one thing, every character in every anime or game who has spoken openly on a subject, then on the very next sentence about it acted as if they had no idea that subject existed.
Outside of that, and in more specific terms let's see . . . hmmmmm *wavy image like a flash back*
1. Ok, seriously Popka from Klonoa 2 needs to be beaten physically. Throughout the entire game his only successful moment of helpfulness is an act of THEFT (this is assuming you don't do the completely unspoken second player easter egg allowing for a triple jump using him). He spends literally the ENTIRE game aside from that complaining, making vicious jokes at the other characters' expense, and pointing out the obvious and then acting like he's the only one that could know it's obvious.
2. Ok, I know it's bad form to do this after claiming I'd be specific but this REALLY gets under my skin. The soft spoken, submissive female protagonist aside a male character, who's obviously the character's love interest who becomes vicious and violent any time the obvious subplot is brought up and goddamn murderous when another woman is near or flirting with the male lead. There's just so much wrong with this I can't even really elaborate without running the SERIOUS risk of going on for hours. So I'll leave it at this: "Lil' miss 'Childhood friend' I spend every scene you act angry and aloof about romance in, waiting for someone to punch you in the throat or trying to keep myself from breaking my tv."
3. Dororo, I have to admit . . . I love you to bits little girl and when you grow up, you got HOT. But GODDAMN do you make my fist shake sometimes . . . letting your hommunculous cyborg samurai friend do all the dirty work then claiming it was you . . . as much as I do like you for being brave enough to infiltrate a demon queen's palace full of corpses, I DESPISE your Saiyan arrogance.
SPEAKING OF WHICH:
4. CHICHI. I think I've said enough.
5. Let's move it in a much more serious direction and go with Dr. Daisuke Ido from the EXCELLENT manga Battle Angel Alita. Seriously, if you haven't read it go to Mangafox or somewhere else NOW. Anyway, to do the best I can to keep this brief but descriptive. Good ol' Ido finds the protagonist of the series in a giant scrapyard, amazed that there was a nearly perfectly intact cyborg head and torso at all, even more so when he realized the brain inside it was not only intact, but ALIVE after what had to have been 200 years in the scrap piles. SO he builds her a new body, nothing fantastic as he's working from scrap parts and used pieces he gets from clients. (He's a cyborg surgeon, don't ask just go read) Now, his reasoning for it is perfectly understandable, he is a middle-aged to old man with no children, and finds Alita as a surrogate for that missing piece to his life and wants her to fill it. So he builds up the idea of her being his precious little daughter and gives her better and better pieces as he gets them. Which, he does by being a merc killing mutants and turning in their heads for money. Alita thinks he's a seriel murderer for obvious reasons with the schedule he keeps doing merc jobs. And turns out to have a skill for martial arts that can ONLY be described as awesome because it literally strikes you with awe. After this he tries to force her to still fit into the perfect little precious daughter role even going so far as to refuse to let her leave the house and trying to buy her fancy frilly dresses so she'll look the part. And frankly for his surrogate daughter issues I want to lay him out.
Well, that's unfortunately as brief as I could be on the subject, sorry.
6. If any of you have played KOTOR, you know who she is. Fucking jedi ***** . . . you save her from slavery and murder, and her first course of action is to complain that you, who have never met her before . . . took too long and didn't come with her lightsaber. I never let the ***** have one after that point frankly. You want it so bad that you complain about someone who doesn't know about it doesn't have it? fine, you don't get to have one at all.
7. Reverend Mother Gaias Hellen Mohiam. Granted, that name alone is a lot to swallow (hee hee, sandworms.) but the gist is this, she's the leader of a religious cult (I call it a cult, because goddamnit they are) who has their fingers in more pies than the entire world governments do if you believe in even half the conspiracies out there. And Gaias Hellen is herself at the core of several different conspiracies, including one to artificially create a Messiah to cement the power of the religion instead of making it, as most see it, a "cult of untrustworthy power hungry witches" which is actually a lot more accurate than the Reverend Mothers want you to believe. You see, Reverend Mothers are capable of impossible acts to normal humans, through meditation and gruesome, let me emphasize GRUESOME trials they learn to control their own chemistry to the point of not having a known lifespan. No Reverend Mother has died of old age, there have been reverend mothers that CHOSE to die, and those that have been murdered. To give you a clearer idea, the Sandworms create the Spice, but by drowning a worm you get what's called Spice Essence, essentially a chemical so powerful it will seriously melt your brain, and the final trial of a Reverend Mother, the final test that makes them a true reverend mother, and gives them the final phases of those abilities is to drown a worm, take the EXTREMELY spice essence, swallow enough to kill about 1000 people (read a few gallons by the end of it) use their mastery of their own chemistry to change it to purified water that contains no trace of spice in it and put it back into the container the spice essence was in, which then combines it with the remnants of spice essence and makes the water be touched with spice so strong it sends them into a hallucinogenic orgy. (also a hint at how powerful the essence is that it's leftovers do that) But Gaias Hellen (to try and put a bow on her entry) runs this religion like Hitler ran germany to the point of attempting to get Paul Atredes mother executed on false charges and hiring an assassin against her son after he passed a high level Reverend Mother trial without having any training because her having a son was a generation early in her plan to create an artificial messiah.
8. Let's go ahead and get obscure here: Tomo in Azumanga Daioh. Super hyper, super stupid and convinced she's the shit (instead of what she actually is . . . just shit) every time I see her I want to at least smack her face.
9. Let's also get obvious: Angelica. If you don't know why . . . watch one episode of Rugrats . . . you'll see.
10. It's only sometimes . . . ok a lot of the time but Marla Singer. I'm going to the book not the movie because for whatever reason I find Hellena Bonham Carter so hot I can't be angry at her . . . seriously . . . the blood just drops out of my brain and I can't be angry. Anyway, Marla Singer is arrogant, despodic, apathetic, a crook, a sex fiend, and actually sees nothing wrong with her mother getting regular liposuction and mailing Marla the fat the doctors take out to be injected into her in place of botox or other such plastic surgery processes. Not to mention her instances of going to a testicle cancer group therapy session, to smoking at group therapy sessions like lung cancer and tuberculousus, oh yeah she also goes to group therapies for things she doesn't have as a way of fufilling her unsatisfying life. But I can't really hold it against her too much as the narrator does it too and from his perspective we are lead to see it as ok.
11. Frankly the entire comedian cast of "who gets the last laugh." Which, when it was first advertised I thought was going to be comedians fucking with each other on TV for our amusement. Then, as it got closer and then started up on tv it turned out to be exactly what we've had to put up with forever. Comedians and celebrities pushing us down into a puddle and laughing at us because they think they're better than us. The entire show is "hey kids, watch these comedians trick these stupid NORMAL people and then laugh at them! HA HA! isn't that great!?" in a word: NO.
12. Cercei (I hope I'm spelling that right) Lannister. Again, I think nuff said.
Quick side note: anyone that wants to tell me my opinion on her needs to not exist because her family basically tortured her into being insane, I don't fucking care . . . seeing it from her perspective her actions make sense, but aren't excused. And seeing it from ANYONE else's perspective proves it's not excused. Bran Stark. Motherfucking Bran Stark. Infact, no . . . Arya Stark. Suck it.
13. Asuka from Neon Genesis. Again, I don't care that her mother was driven insane and convinced Asuka was a still birth and replaced her with a doll in her mind and heart, NOTHING SHE DOES IS EXCUSED. Especially her desperate attempt to have sex with a middle aged man who's not only not interested, but is himself desperately trying to have sex with Misato. And for that matter, her constant attempts to apparently have angry "I hate you" sex with the main character who is so inept he can't even tell that Rei wanted to fuck him (about the only emotion she ever could show was lust) Frankly, I want Shinji's nightmare fantasy of strangling that ***** to death and smashing her skull in with a chair really happens.
14. Ashely . . . mother . . . fucking . . . Williams. Even Kaden isn't as speciest as that *****. I mean really! come on!
15. Pierce Washington in Saints Row 2, he's a *****, he complains about everything, he doesn't just bitchslap Shaundi . . . ever, and frankly I think he might actually be a closet homosexual with the way he acts about the main character and the other characters in the game.
16. Frankly, everyone in the DearS anime . . . I can't really get into it here as I'm running so damn long already just . . . just go watch an episode or two, hell watch all of it it's not very long . . . just be warned.
17. Lord Motherfucking English. Ok, not really because I'm pretty sure he'd just decide I was dead and I'd explode so . . . yeah . . .
18. Dr. Magnussun in Half Life 2 Episode 2. A lot of gamers got mad that he "came out of nowhere" but if you listen carefully to his lines, and if you fucked around in Half Life 1, you know who he is. To put it in short terms, he complains that you burned his lunch, in Half life 1, there's an employee breakroom with some kind of soup or something in the microwave, if you press the button on the microwave a few times, the soup gets burned and the scientist closest to it gets up and complains that you burnt his food. THAT ladies and Gentlemen is the cloned character model that became Dr. Magnussun. He spends however, the entire (short) HL2E2 complaining about how inept Gordon Freeman is (you know the man that singlehandedly created the successful rebellion and then singehandedly saves the world again, 3 times now as of counting HL1. Actually that's more like 4 if you played the free middle of the road one mission game that came packaged with HL2E1. Yeah . . . Gordon Freeman is inept . . . right.
19. Jack in LOST. Call the show shit all you want, I don't care . . . I enjoyed it and John Locke is an amazing man, but Jack is an ass. He's self righteous, hipocritical and doesn't even SEE that he breaks his own rules. He actually says that John's idea of blowing up a complex the "Others" use is terrible and that murder is never excused, then when forced to let a bunch of people go with Locke to join them, he actually puts a gun to John Locke's head AND PULLS THE TRIGGER. This is so shockingly stupid that John later brings it up when Jack asks him why John won't trust him, John says "well Jack . . . you DID put a gun to my head then pull the trigger." To which, Jack replies that he doesn't understand why John would hold that against him since OBVIOUSLY John is so much worse when the worst thing John did was blow up a submarine that you later find out wouldn't have helped them anyway.
20. I just want to be all OCD and end on a nice socially symmetrical number. Haseo . . . Haseo, Haseo, Haseo . . . what could I say. No, scratch that . . . what COULDN'T I say? you're arrogant, you're a douche, you're both pathetic AND so self assured you think you do no wrong, you hopelessly chase after a man that pretty much says from the start that he's evil and then are SURPRISED when he turns out to be, oh . . .wait . . . evil. Then, he pines after a girl he's never met in person, and actually tries to troll and abuse another girl who uses a similar character model completely on the basis of the character model being similar. Seriously, in an MMO, he's so pissy about someone using a similar character model to a girl he likes that he tries to abuse her into quitting the game and, by her reaction, possibly committing suicide. Fuck you, Haseo . . . fuck you.
