Your most hated fictional character?

[ldgoodpobad]

I agree with lots on this list, but their are a few I think I will add
Kyubey from Puella Magi Madoka Magica
The entire cast of School Days
Shinji and Auska from Neon Genius Evanglion (they both could use good hard slap)
Aizen from Bleach
Akito and Akito's Mom from Fruits Basket as well as Keyo's father, Yuki's parents Momiji's mother and whoever dared bully Kisa.
The cutie mark crusaders (I love MlP FIM, but dam do I groan wherever an episode features them)
Gul Dukat from deep space 9
Sasuke Uchiha
Father from FMA Brotherhood

I hate most people in the Song of Ice and Fire series (I love the books) but between the wanton rape and masucuring of inocent people I can't say I like most of the characters.) The one I hate that most people like is Daenerys Targaryion

Spoiler

she seemed cool using Dothraki to attack the Westeros even knowing what they do including enslaving people (not to mention all the rape) even going so far as to support the Dothraki taking slaves to support her conquest. Then she becomes all self righteous in latter books about slavery.

 

[Vigilante 989]

The fucking main character from xxxHolic. Almost every time he opens his mouth, he deserves his ass kicked. Without him the show could have been elevated to one of my top three anime series.

 

[RandV80]

You have your Dolores Umbridge's and Joffrey Baratheon's, and Hawke is a great obscure pick from Berserk. So I'm going to add another obscure one, from a shitty installment from an otherwise stellar JRPG series, Suikoden IV's Snowe.

One of the trademarks of the Suikoden series is great interaction and camaraderie among it's main characters. Even when the main character is silent, the story and characterization really drives home some strong bonds to make you really care about the people around you... making it that much more impactfull when an eventual death occurs.

Unfortunately Suikoden IV got dropped on it's head as a baby. Rather than build strong character ties through the story they drop all that and cut right to the chase by telling you straight up: "this is Snowe, he's your bestest friend in the whole world!" That would be this little prick right here:

Spoiler

You're the orphan kid, Snowe's the aristocrats son. As the game gets underway though rather than a friend he treats you more like your his charity case. He's an annoying little prick that gets by based on who his daddy is, covering up his incompetence through pure arrogance. The moment you prove to be the competent one and take command, he flies into a fit of rage and actually turns on you. Lines like "why does everyone love YOU?!" and "after everything I've done for you!" get thrown around. Through the course of the game he proceeds on a downward spiral trying to get back to you, with an eventual low point of attacking you in your hometown (I think it was) with a band of pirates.

Making things worse is the game continues on with the charade that this is your best friend and don't you feel sorry for him? In the other games if you can recruit all 108 characters you get a boon in the story, usually involving undoing the meaningful character 'death' I mentioned at the start. In Suikoden IV you get to find Snowe drifting on some wreckage in the middle of the ocean (IV uses it's a ship/island themed setting, like Windwaker), you pull him up he says sorry and you get to be friends again and finish the war together, yaaay!

A bad character is a bad character, but when I think of some absolute great friends and what you go through in some of the other installments, like Jowy and Nanami in Suikoden II, it just makes me hate the little prick even more.

 

[The_Echo]

Andrea in Walking Dead

Ooooooooohh. I hate Andrea so much. She's very quickly replacing Shane, who I think got off pretty easily. Whattadick.

Another couple are Louis Greene and James Doakes, from Dexter. God, they could really make my blood boil.

 

[emeraldrafael]

Randal Flagg. Fuck you sir. I understand the Crimson King, and hell, at least he justifies himself. you on the other hand, are a complete and total dick, and had to have died the most pansy death ive ever read after your character spanned so many books and screwed with so many people.

Getting eviscerated and eaten by a big ass fucking demon spider

you know... maybe on second thought that is enough.

Also any tom cruise character. dude, get over yourself.

 

[Hexadeximal]

At the moment, Gwen from Torchwood. I can't STAND useless characters XP

 

[Ed130 The Vanguard]

My most hated character has to be Ali Al-Saachez from Gundam 00.

Plot spoilers for anyone who cares

Spoiler

Ali Al-Saachez is one of those characters that you just have to hate, he was personally responsible for a lot of the deaths of main characters toward the end of the first season. (including the original Lock On, my favorite character in the series) And by the end of the second I can't think of a single character that wouldn't have a grudge against him. And for the record, I 'm still hoping to find an animated GIF of him getting shot in the head over and over again

If youtube has a clip of it the guys over at the Avatar Store can make a GIF of the headshot for your avatar.

Err, most characters I hate are already designated 'to be hated' by their respective creators (ie Umbrage, Dukat etc).

 

[The Last Parade]

I'd say
- Joffery Lannister
- Buck from FC3
- Handsome Jack (but I also love him)

 

[JemothSkarii]

For me (recently at least, as it's the only 'popular' thing that comes to mind) is whoever the hell voiced Marcosius in The Shakugan no Shana English Dub. Normally I prefer dubs over subs, but holy shit, I'm putting this here because he butchers the character. His delivery of the character falls so flat and he turns the playful sadism and battle lust that Marco has into a childish fool who can't talk smack. That and his voice just grates, the Japanese Marco is so much better.

 

[Ninja_daemon117]

I'd say
- Joffery Lannister
- Buck from FC3
- Handsome Jack (but I also love him)

Yea I changed between hating and loving Handsome Jack about 10 times during my first play of Borderlands 2, but in the end I hated him.

 

[Death-Jester]

Sakura from Naruto. Reasons why (short version):
- Boring character with an annoying personality
- Useless, a constant burden
- Never matures or changes throughout the series (I don't care what you say about Shippuden, after that one fight against the puppet master she reverts to her old ways)
- Doesn't even try to understand characters she professes to love
Long version:

Spoiler

Throughout the whole first half of the series she is useless, can't do anything but cry and rely on others. Yet despite this she makes selfish requests of others and even berates them for not doing enough (like in the forest of death the first time they run into Orochimaru, bloody hypocrite). She says she loves Sasuke but can't understand why he's leaving the village or why the idea of being with her doesn't change his mind. Then she has the gall to ask Naruto to bring Sasuke back while doing nothing herself.

Skip ahead 3 years and she seems to have changed. Seems determined to make up for not doing anything to bring Sasuke back and can now fight & heal. But what does she do the next time they meet Sasuke? Nothing. How about the time after that (just as he's killed Danzo)? Well, she'd finlly taken some initiative, intending to kill him herself so Naruto won't have to worry about it, then does nothing. I don't know whether to be more angry at how immature she must be that she can't move beyond a childhood crush (which was never reciprocated) or at how, after finally deciding to be pro-active, her will faltered and she needed others to save her again. Oh, and just before that she thought if she pretended to love Naruto he'd be willing to give up chasing Sasuke. Presumptiosness aside how does she still fail to understand the characters she's meant to be so close to? How could she possible think Naruto would go for that? ARRG!

Kishimoto better not pair her together with Naruto in the end...

Season One or the newly released Season Two Marco? Also kudos, good to see another fan of the series.

For me.

Kira Yamato - Gundam Seed Destiny.

Spoiler

Liked him in the first series, but he pretty much ruined the second series and earned my rapid hatred. A massive hypocritical twat who only seems to survive through sheer plot-armor and fan-love.

Priscilla - Claymore

Spoiler

A terrible central antagonist. Unlike the Abyssal Ones, Isley and Riful, she lacked any respectable traits, she got lucky, didn't fight for her position as top dog and has a very boring back-story.

Casavir and Elanee - Neverwinter Nights 2

Spoiler

Boring characters, that I started to hate when I learnt the love-interest stories for Neeshka and Bishop were shafted in favour of them.

Envy - Fullmetal Alchemist (All)

Spoiler

Cause' he is a dick.

 

[mrhappy1489]

For me it's Cersei Lannister from A Song of Fire and Ice. God damn I have never wanted to reach into a book and strangle someone before. Also her son Joffrey, he is a horrible git and that's putting it mildly.

This. Joffrey is one of the most evil characters in any book, ever.

Spoiler

His death made Storm of Swords my favourite in the series

Spoiler

same, I loved how it was planned and carried out, that little git had it coming

For me it's Cersei Lannister from A Song of Fire and Ice. God damn I have never wanted to reach into a book and strangle someone before. Also her son Joffrey, he is a horrible git and that's putting it mildly.

I knew I wasn't going to be the first one to say either of them. Well, I'll add to the ASoIaF cavalcade with Khal Drogo, a looting and pillaging bastard, that a lot of people apparently like for some reason that has eluded me.

Also, you might want to fix that typo, you've got Ice and Fire mixed up.

I also didn't quite like Khal Drogo, I didn't like the way that his people pillaged villages and raped women and then made them slaves. And thanks for pointing out the typo! ^_^ I shall fix that

I agree, definitely the best part about the third book.

Spoiler

What really made it mean something to me was seeing how much of a prick he was going to be to Sansa after the Red Wedding. I mean she thinks she's lost her entire family and you want to serve her her brothers head. His death was the greatest thing ever written and the perfect way for such a prick to die and his attitude in his final days made his death all the sweeter.

OT, I'd have to say my most hated character would be either Joffery, for reasons above and

Spoiler

Walder Frey. For fucks sake he's bloody 16, he can make mistakes. Just because he slighted you doesn't me you can kill thousands of men! When your inevitable death comes, no man will mourn you. That also goes for Roose Bolton and his son. May the old gods punish you for all eternity.

Season 1 Marco, haven't heard Season 2 Marco yet, different VA? or...? I'm just starting the Third Season in Japanese.

I also agree with you on Envy and I hate that they removed the Neeshka and Bishop romances, they were the only two characters I was interested in in that way.

 

[Kaamos]

Joker from Mass Effect. One: I hate Seth Green. Can't stand him at all. Two: he isn't funny, He's just a really annoying smartass. Having the nickname "joker" makes it even worse. Third: I hate how the writers treat him like he's so cool and funny and make him so goddamn important because he's the "bestest pilot ever". It's bad enough he's even in the game, but there aren't even any good "Oh my god shut up PLEASE" moments, so it seems like Shepard likes him when I don't. You even have to play as him for one part. I seriously wished I could have gotten him permanently killed during that section. Hell, if I was Shepard I would have let him die right at the beginning of the second game. Why would I ever risk my life for that dumbass? Why couldn't it have been my love interest from the last game? Or like some super important ambassador that was being escorted on the Normandy or something? ANYTHING but joker.

[Bestival]

Hmm.... to quote Dawkins...

"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully."

And I'm sorry, but until there is definite and irrefutable evidence that this god person exists, they ARE a fictional character.

I like you.

OT: That fat **** from Awkward... Actually, everyone from Awkward.

 

[Wintermoot]

Yurika from Nadesico
I kinda found her to be annoying for the most part.

 

[Casual Shinji]

Haruhi Suzumiya from The Melancholy of...-you know.

I know the whole point behind her is to be annoying, but that is really all there is to her. That whole fucking show is like the British sitcom Keeping Up Appearances. Also a show where everyone pussy foots around this one annoying character, instead of ***** slapping her and telling her to shut the hell up.

Uhm....
How much of the series did you watch?
Because to me (and I would think anyone who has seen most of the series)....

Spoiler: Huge Spoiler

***** slapping someone who is capable of re-writing the whole of reality seems like a *BAD*
idea. Especially given that she can re-write reality so that nobody/nothing *exists* anymore. Plus the fact that characters around her (Nagato in particular)were almost certainly working in subtle ways to keep anyone from doing so,
for obvious reasons.

Yes, I'm aware of this. It doesn't make her character, nor any of the other characters for that matter, any more bearable or interesting though.

I even saw The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, and that was the first time I actually enjoyed the characters and the story because things were finally happening. But at the end everything reverts back to the status quo, nothing is gained, nothing is lost, and all the events from the movie might as well not have happened at all. Terrific.

 

[VeneratedWulfen93]

First Chaplain Erebus. What a shit. Humanity could have been all well and good if it wasn't for him and his ridiculously zealous primarch, Lorgar. Instead it was a degeneration of human society across the Imperium, not to mention the fact that Brother Space Marines fought each other in a galaxy spanning war. All the other elements in the books and lore could have created the Horus Heresy but I'll be damned if it wasn't Erebus who pulled off the main parts of the plot.

 

[Palindromemordnilap_v1legacy]

OT, I'd have to say my most hated character would be either Joffery, for reasons above and

See, I quite like Roose Bolton because I don't see him as a villain. He's just a pragmatist. Robb Stark was as crap as his father at dealing with people, he was never going to hold an alliance of the North together, something which becomes obvious when he starts making clumsy mistakes. Getting rid of him to prevent needless loss of life in the war and ensuing winter was really the best thing to do. Also, unlike the Freys and, to some extent, Lannisters, he's not unnecessarily evil. He just does the deed, and moves on. In a series full of people making idiotic decisions I like his sensibility.
You're right on Ramsey though, that guy's a total bastard in every meaning of the word.

I see a lot of hate for Joffrey and Cersei, but the character I personally can't stand is Caitlyn Stark. She's just so self-righteous about everything she does even though her decisions are impetuous, driven by arrogance and more often than not just wrong. I mean she goes and kidnaps Tyrion, essentially kickstarting the whole war (something which she never recognises, btw) and when leading a band of followers through the mountains to take him to her sister starts complaining that its his fault and his treachery that those followers are being killed by bandits. Err, no, its yours, for kidnapping the guy (for what reasoning exactly? I never quite understood why she did that) and bringing everyone through bandit-infested mountains! She releases Jaime Lannister causing the friction with the Karstarks when they get angry they can't take similar liberties. So she's also partly responsible for the northern alliance breaking up, which again she never recognises, and it also shows she believes she's above the rules. And then there's her various comments through the series where she seems to believe she knows best about everything forever just because she's squeezed a few kids out. Whats that Caitlyn, you think Robb is trying to send you away to a safe place because you're his mother and having you around makes him look weak. Yes that must be it, it can't possibly be because he thinks you're some of the last remaining family he has left, and one of the few people he can trust, so genuinely just wants you safe and out of harms way, because that might mean the universe doesn't revolve around you. When the (spoiler alert. No, seriously, stop reading if you've not got to Storm of Swords) Red Wedding came around and it turned out Robb probably should have sent her far away (both for her own safety and to stop her giving stupid advice) I felt so damn vindicated. The only thing that spoiled it was that even that didn't stop her. She's still going around making decisions powered solely by her own bloody-minded arrogance. Grr...


I'm actually struggling to come up with any other characters who I've hated so much it would make me happy if they were gruesomely killed...
