Characters you hate with a passion.

[Olas]

Elves.

Racist much?
Unless you mean the elves from the Inheritance books in which case I'm totally with you.

Spoiler: They're just WAY too perfect.

They, as described by Paolini, are (takes deep breath) super strong, super fast, hyper intelligent, inherently attractive, talented in all artforms, skilled with all weapons, can all use magic (proficiently), have enhanced senses, can see in the dark, are vegetarian agnostic environmentalist pacifists, and of course get to live forever. Basically they're Edward from Twilight projected onto an [a href="http://inheritance.wikia.com/wiki/Elf"]entire race[/a].

Their society exists without strict rules or government, yet somehow has no crime or poverty. They are extremely peaceful, have never provoked a war, and yet are highly trained in combat and have won every war they've entered. Elves live in nature with little technology or industrialization, yet somehow have deep scientific knowledge and advanced medicine. Elves were the only race who got to be dragon riders until Eragon came around, and even he had to become part elf just to finish his training.

Basically they're just better than us in every non-beard-growing way

Also, one word posts like yours are generally considered to be "low content" and can be flagged. I like being succinct too, and think it's a silly rule myself, but a rule's a rule. Just a friendly warning.

Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII is easily the worst character in the game and perhaps maybe one of the worst in the entire series. She is completely irresponsible, aggressive, selfish, short-sighted, looks down upon others and is just a horrible person in general. Yes, I know the game also has Vanille and Hope, the second and third worst characters in the series, but even they can't compare to just how shitty a character Lightning is.

The tiny amount of character development she has is so unbelievably generic and predictable, I'm kind of wondering whether they did that on purpose just to annoy anyone who looked at the game for a good story and characters.

I can not think of a single redeeming thing about her character, as there really is none. Oh but she's "badass and really hot, so that's makes up for shitty writing of her character and her being a horrible person".

Yeah, I also don't get why people like her as well. To me, she is completely stuck up and treats anyone she doesn't like like they're less than garbage. To me, Cloud was a lot better as he treated people with some indication of humanity. In Lightning's eyes, it's all about her.

While i'm not best buds with Miranda I still wish to defend her in a few cases. While going through her plot arc in ME2 you can help be less extreme about things and less of an ice queen.

I never thought she was an Ice Queen. In fact one of my biggest turn offs towards her was that she's literally drooling over Shepard in every other scene. If she was just cold and aloof the whole time I'd be okay with that. but she goes back and forth from "I don't know why the Illusive Man's wasting his time on you" to "You're so amazing, I wish I was more like you!" to "I don't know what the Illusive Man sees in you"

I never got the impression she was an Ice Queen (She behaves more like a slut most of the time), I just got the impression that she's either manipulative or schizophrenic.

By the end of the game she's

Spoiler

willing to basically flip off the Illusive Man and quit Cerberus because of her moral objections to his stance on the Collector Base. Also she goes to great lengths to defend her sister.

funnily enough this is another point against her character. Especially in my playthroughs where I never sided with her because I didn't like her. By the end of the game she's not loyal to me but she still turns on the Illusive Man (Who's been oh her side since she ran away from home) at the drop of a hat (Or Collector base)
She's been TIM's number 2 since the first mission and she doesn't get that Cerberus wants that base?

I don't recall a single negative thing she does in ME3. She even apologies for a few things such as the control chip you mentioned. Hell by the end she's become downright heroic.

Spoiler

Notably saving her sister and after realising what was happening at Sanctuary making sure that no more refugees fall for it.

In ME3 she asks you for some of your Alliance ships so she can save her clone for a second time.
That didn't exactly endear her to me. All her quests are selfish like that. Quite literally "self"-ish because she's trying to save a clone of her self. (Before ME 3 I thought this was a clever bit of writing on Bioware's part but now I just don't know.)

Because she doesn't try to shut down Sanctuary before Oriana is safe.
Thole time through both games she acts like a spoiled brat. "I used to be the Illusive Man's Favorite" "Cerberus doesn't do anything wrong. I know that for a fact because I like Cerberus!"(I'm talking about Jack's loyalty mission)

I could go on, and I have in the past. I could fill a dissertation with all the reasons Miranda is a horrible person

 

[Faladorian]

Read the manga, she is A LOT better. In fact everything about the manga is better.

The manga is just awesome.

My girlfriend told me the same thing. She said that at one point she actually starts killing zombies, then she becomes upset that she can't stay cute for Ciel while killing zombies.

I hear a lot of that though, "Character X is better in the manga," such as Black Star from Soul Eater, Misa Amane from Death Note, or, again, Elizabeth from Black Butler. But what that boils down to, for me, is that the characters are ungodly annoying and in the manga you don't have to hear their voice xD

She recently tried to get me to watch Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, saying that the manga was amazing. I felt kind of bad with how much I didn't like it after she said so many nice things about it, but the voices are just... intolerable. Every single one of them is extremely annoying.

 

[latiasracer]

The two "Freinds" from Pokemon White.

MY GOD.
They are the most loathsome pair of people, Bianca is just a moron and Cheren is such a stuck up git, and the fact that they bother you everytime you try and progress!


And Gin, (Or Jin) from Dead island.


Needless to say, when she got shot of the roof was my favourite moment of Dead island.

 

[Zaik]

Every single person either of the main characters tries to associate themselves with outside of being a criminal in Breaking Bad.

Literally their only purpose is to weaken or inhibit the main characters.

 

[Tono Makt]

Every human character in the original series of Evangelion. Every single bleeping one. I almost like the drunken woman that the whiny brat lives with, and I almost like her ex-boyfriend, but that little word "almost" is the closest I come to liking them. I was rooting for the Angels to kill the kids in every episode, and the parents, and the other adults, and everything in Eva.

(Except Pen-Pen. I wanted Pen-Pen to rule the world, being worshiped as a God by the surviving Angels.)

 

[vaticanvice]

Morrigan from Dragon Age: Origins.

I get it--she's supposed to be "difficult." I like difficult characters. I like characters that make me work to understand them. But I worked to understand Morrigan, and what I understood at the end was that she was just kind of a *****. Also intolerant, selfish, and a slut.

Most players of that game really seemed to like her, and I admit that I'm tentatively optimistic about future plot lines involving her child, but I could go my whole life without ever seeing that smug cleavage again and be totally happy.

I also hate Claudia Black's voice. She's either self-satisfied or simpering, sometimes both. It's disgusting to listen to.

 

[PirateRose]

I don't like Liara from the entire Mass Effect series.

Following contains spoilers.

In ME1 she made me seriously uncomfortable and she had a serious case of nerd bait personality going on. For ME1, I did the typical thing I do with most games, avoid talking to the character I don't like. I just did not talk to her and did not use her on missions. However, she's important for mind reading/raping Shepard to find clues. If you pick her up early, she does it after every major story mission and feels faint afterwords. Then somehow Kaidan will still think Shepard's trying to hook up with her, even if you've never stepped foot in Liara's room. Stupid game mechanics yes, but still annoying.

In the comic, she really didn't do anything that important. Saving Shepard was reliant on Cerberus and Feron. Feron made the decision to save Shepard after thinking selling Shepard's body was not his thing. He didn't change his mind because of Liara. The events leading to Feron's capture were circumstantial, if Liara didn't spend most of the comic being Bipolar every other page and smacking Feron around, they may have rescued Shepard sooner. Finally, Liara thought it was better to leave Shepard dead.

In ME2 turns out you can't avoid her. You have to talk to her to pick up Thane and Samara, and besides the fact they are two of my favorites, you can't complete the game without Thane or Samara.

In Lair of the Shadow broker, she is creepy as hell, especially if you spent most of ME1 never talking to her, and you find out she's hoarding Shepard's armor and dog tags. It's incredibly stupid that not inviting her over to spend time, she acts super hurt, but in ME3 she seems to forget this completely and loves Shepard again.

Things became a little interesting when she became the Shadow Broker, but it amounts to nothing in ME3. Specialist Traynor gives Shepard more info than Liara does. I have no friggen clue why Liara is the Shadow Broker, what was the point of that plot? What she does important in ME3 is right at the beginning, and it involves her old job as an archeologist. Then she does nothing for the rest of the game but constantly come to Shepards room and add lots of drama on the ship.

There is a point where you invite characters up to Shepard's room, and you have to invite Liara first before you can invite anyone else. You can't skip her, you can't skip anyone, but she is first and you have to invite her up to get to anyone else. Then, you can spend the entire game not talking to her, not taking her on missions, not comforting her, then at the end of the game, she pulls out this random memory mind sharing crap like you're still best friends with her.

So yeah, I really don't like Liara.

 

[Legion]

*snip*

While I did not dislike Liara, I do agree with the rest of the points you made. Bioware did seem to try there hardest to make her your best friend or lover, regardless of what you as the player may think about her.

It didn't matter what you did or said, the game would still act like you like her, and I can understand why people who didn't would feel annoyed.

I was rooting for the Angels to kill the kids in every episode, and the parents, and the other adults, and everything in Eva.

Spoiler: The same for me. I liked the series, but damn did I hate the characters, although I did like Kaji come to think of it.

At various points I did like Rei, but due to certain things, I am not sure it'd be really accurate to call her a character, seeing as she is basically a clone of Shinji's mother.

Also Sansa is thick and ridiculous but she gets so much of a raw deal that it's impossible not to like her.

Spoiler: Except her raw deal is entirely her own fault.

She was only stuck with Joffrey because she betrayed her father (who was trying to protect her and Arya) to the Queen, and so Ned's plan to get his daughters to safety was thwarted as the Queen made moves to prevent them from leaving.

So then she is stuck at his mercy because she wanted to be with him. Effectively she reaped what she sowed.

Not to mention that this betrayal of hers meant the death of her guardian (The Septa), all of the Starks men (the men she she grew up around) as well as forcing Arya to flee for her life.

Then there is the matter of her Direwolf being killed, which again, was her own fault because she lied and claimed she did not remember what happened, as such the wolf was blamed and was killed. If she'd admitted the truth, then it'd have been clear that Nymeria was defending Arya, and so Robert would have most likely agreed that it was Joffrey's fault for trying to murder his fiancés sister.

 

[Dwarfman]

Shinji from Neon Genesis. I remember watching the final episode with my Dad on SBS. At one point Shinji yells out "WHY DOES EVERYBODY HATE ME!?!?!" Myself and Dad at the same time "BECAUSE YOUR A FUCKING TOOL!!!"

OT: Beowulf. I loathe Beowulf with the kind of rage that rivals an entire Religion and Politics forum. How in the hell is the only remotely excusable character in that 1200-year-old piece of garbage Grendel's Mother? I understand that story telling conventions have massively changed in the last millenia or so, I do not care. I hate it and specifically him far too much to use reason. I especially hate how he's in this really annoying Protagonist/Mary Sue bubble that makes everyone and thing around him worship him on sight. Literally, when the watchman on the coast sees Beowulf's ship filled with potential invaders his first reaction is, "LOOK AT THAT HUNK OF MAN!!!" and proceeds to verbally fellate him.

I hate Beowulf.

Like alot.

Ummm. Are we talking about the movie or the original Old English Epic. Cause there ain't nothing nice or sexy about Grendel's mom in the original tale. That being said if you are talking about the movie I thoroughly agree with you as Beowulf is a braggart and liar in the movie.

 

[Jfluffy]

Elves.

Racist much?

I was indeed referring to elves in Inheritance books and just about all other elves inspired from Inheritance books. However I will admit I rather like elves in Warlock: Master of the Arcane.

 

[Teacakes]

It's hard for me to hate with a passion. I will list ones I just dislike, because there aren't a lot: Tom Sloane of Daria, Thrall of the Warcraft franchise, Tingle of Legend of Zelda, Penny of Big Bang Theory, and just about everyone in Twilight.

Also, the trolls in Homestuck, which are the reason I stopped reading it.

 

[Andothul]

Mako from Legend of Korra, getting real sick of his teenage angst/i can't pick which girl i want stupidity.

Borra all the way

I am absolutely talking about the Old English Epic. I hate that so much, I never even remotely entertained the idea of seeing the movie. See, the reason Grendel's Mother is, in my opinion, the best character in the story is because she is the only one that isn't either a spineless sycophant or a glory hound, murderous, braggart, all around fucking douche bag that is Beowulf. Seriously, everything that Beowulf says is entirely focused on how awesome he is. There is nothing there beyond that. There's no honor to him, he didn't come Heorot to protect anyone, his motivations are entirely selfish (glory and riches).

Compare that to Grendel's Mother. The biggest evil in the land, lets her son wander off at night to get himself dinner (Giant marauding demon's have to eat too) like he always does, all of a sudden he gets back to the lake with his arm has been torn off, and he's bleeding to death in front of her. It is now officially murdering time. She shows up at Heorot to get her dead boy's arm back, and they've mounted it on the wall like a trophy. She takes it back after only killing like a dozen people, then goes home. Beowulf shows up to kill her, she does a much better job of trying to kill him, then dies to the sword of deux ex machina.

So yeah, Grendel's old lady is the best character in that story. And she doesn't even get a name. Over the centuries story telling conventions and culture in general have changed such that nearly every positive quality Beowulf had can now be construed as negative. It's not the story's fault, time changes everything.

Roman from GTA IV... STOP FUCKING CALLING ME YOU FAT, GREASY SCUMBAG!!! I DON'T WANT TO GO TO A STRIP CLUB WITH YOU!!!

I found it very hard to find the motivation to save him when he was kidnapped; I'd gun down the man myself given the opportunity.

I quite liked the tale myself. But each to their own I guess.
