Characters you hate with a passion.

[StashAugustine]

We all hate Kai Leng right? from ME3 (well, most of us hate him)

True that, but frankly he strikes me a character Bioware designed that you're SUPPOSED to hate.

Oh, I hated him already for killing you-know-who but that's no reason not to hate him more for carrying an idiot ball around with him at all times. And while we're on ME, I hated Miranda in ME2, although she got marginally better in ME3.

In the vast minority here: Stephen Heck from Alpha Protocol. I was playing a pacifist run, and he kept shooting random people and generally behaving like the wacky psychopath he is. Then I pissed him off, and he sold me out. I'll probably take more kindly to him in subsequent playthroughs, though.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

Everyone from Ben-To and Suzu from Nagase Arientou.

 

[Ieyke]

I'll try to avoid characters one is supposed to hate, like Spandam or Umbridge.

Sasuke Uchiha, and anyone who uses the Sharingan fucking eye.
Never mind that he basically lost his motivation and is now going on purely through "raaaaaagh vengeance hate revenge raaaaagh". Never mind that for long stretches of time he basically hijacks the series. No, my big issue is that he (really, the sharingan eye in general, but him in particular) is the fucking embodiment of "New Powers as the Plot Demands" for anime. To the point that the goddamn eye can manipulate space and time and alter reality and AAAAAAAGH IT HURT MY BRAIN, THE BAD WRITING!

The Sentry from Marvel Comics.
I've only read bits and pieces of his existence across a few series, but most of what I've seen, I really haven't liked. I'll just put in one example, the one where he went right into full-on Mary Sue territory.During World War Hulk, an event hyping up that Hulk was the angriest he's ever been, so thus at the strongest he's ever been, Sentry is just sitting in a house the whole time. Then he decides to go outside and fights the Hulk. And he doesn't use any gimmicks or outsmart him. He just fights him in a straight-up fistfight to the point that the Hulk turns back into Bruce Banner. He left his house and in a few pages basically solved everything. Maybe he's better in the rest of his time alive. But that's going to take some work...

I might think of more...

See, what you hate about the Sentry is his entire reason for existence. That's literally what he does. He goes from basically catatonic or an endless angst fest to actually getting forced to go out and do something. And when he does do something, he's essentially unstoppable...unless he gets scared or something then goes and cries on the moon for a week. I think that was an actual plot involving him at one point too. It might've been the sun. He's a very definite Mary Sue, though they try to justify it by him basically being crushed under the weight of his own Sueness. He's Superman with emotional issues.

captcha: pork pies

Yup. He's literally Marvel's better version of Superman. They took Superman and gave him something more crippling to deal with than an allergy to green space rocks. Sentry has to deal with his own insanity and/or a demonic entity/his evil half (The Void) trying to break free and rampage.

 

[RyQ_TMC]

Myuria from Star Ocean: The Last Hope. Aside from it being not quite clear how losing her husband suddenly transformed her from a quiet scientist into a vamp, the JIGGLING. See, there's fanservice and there's just plain stupidity. Her breasts jiggle while she stands still! Any minor movement sends them into a full-blown earthquake! There's a lot of bad characters out there, and I'm often prepared to overlook it, if the game is enjoyable enough. But that fucking jiggling just gets on my nerves.

 

[Gatx]

Andrei Smirnov from Gundam 00. He kills his own father over a misunderstanding, AND THE SHOW NEVER MAKES HIM ACKNOWLEDGE THAT HE WAS IN THE WRONG.

Souta Tamadate from Guilty Crown. You probably don't recognize him by name, I sure didn't, but you probably hate him all the same if you've ever watched the show. I only skimmed it for the music, but I saw enough to absolutely hate this ungrateful little prick's guts.

And I guess everyone who turns on Lelouch in the second half of Code Geass R2, but only for the fact that they turned on him. I could never truly hate Kallen. They made up for it by letting him have Suzaku.

I'll try to avoid characters one is supposed to hate, like Spandam or Umbridge.

I'll give you that with Rinnegan thing and the crap Itachi pulled, but the

Spoiler

Tobi and Kakashi

was pretty cool and nicely planted throughout the series. Hell the anime even gave their moves a similar effect way before the big reveal.

 

[Baron_Rouge]

Playing Killzone 2 at the moment, loving the gameplay, the graphics, and the atmosphere, but I can't help but hate my characters with a passion. They're all either bland, like Sev and Garza, or unlikeable macho dickbags like Rico and Natko. One dimensional, boring, and unpleasant to be around. This is compounded by the fact that I feel quite morally wrong for even invading Helghan, especially since it's quite heavily implied that the only reason the Helghast are so militaristic is because they were forced to live on the barren, inhospitable world of Helghan by the ISA...

 

[RedDeadFred]

Now, I'm gonna get this out of the way. Joffrey from Game of Thrones. I haven't watched season 2 yet so don't say if anything bad happens to him, neither have I read the books. But that little bastard is the most terrible human being ever put on screen. Unlike many of the other villians in the series Joffrey hasn't had to suffer hardships, or go through wars or anything else, he's just a spoilt brat bastard who I hope to god is killed in season 2 or season 3.

A thousand times this.

However since you took my choice I guess I'll have to think of another. I won't spoil for you who it is but someone in season two ends up giving Joffrey a run for his money in the biggest asshole contest. The only thing saving the other guy/girl from absolute hate is that you can sort of feel pity/empathy for the him/her (at least I could anyway).

Edit: and very much Kai Leng. Say what you will about ME3 but in my opinion it that the best renegade interrupt out of all the games.

 

[Jarek Mace]

Jon Irenicus. Everything he did was 'A' class dickish.
Steal your belongings.
Kill your party members.
Torture you and your party members
Torture and create horrible abominations that suffer in glass cages.
Kill a metric fuckton of people
Kidnap you and your party TWICE. TWIIIIIICE.
Kidnap and mentally damage Imoen.
Steal your soul and Imoen's soul.
Attempt to rise to godhood
Work with a vampire
Invading my own pocket dimension of hell

I mean, he's an all around dick who just doesn't know when to stop.

 

[Vanitas likes Bubbles]

Britta from Community. She's just so boring... I really like the show but sheesh.

 

[VeneratedWulfen93]

Joffrey because reasons already declared.
Every character off every anime mecha series ever aside from Code Geass
Miranda is a ***** and I hate her.
Froggy G can take his stunning dash attack and shove it up his arse.
Anora, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice and I'll kill your dad.
Starscream, nothing better than seeing that idiot shot in the face over and over again.

 

[Uncle Comrade]

Anders from Dragon Age 2. My first time playing I actually loved him. I thought, "oh, what a fantastic character! He's so charming and sweet and he likes cats! Hawke is so getting laid!" I was a huge mage sympathizer and everything he did just seemed so ~*TORTURED*~ and he only wanted JUSTICE and ... yeah. But upon seeing his act of blatant terrorism, I did a complete 180. All of my cutsie wootsie feelings turned into flaming piles of nope. I've played two more games since then, and I can't even stand to talk to him. I skip all of his dialogue options and shirk off his quests for the last minute. I've never, EVER had a video game character irk me that much, and it's surprising just how fucking livid he gets me.

The point where I got annoyed with him is when he tried to emotionally blackmail me into helping him with his scheme.

Anders: Hey thanks for helping me gather these dodgy chemicals. Now, could you distract the Grand Cleric while I do something secret in the Chantry?
Hawke: Erm.. that sounds suspicious. What are you really up to Anders?
A: I can't tell you, you have to trust me.
H: Nope, tell me what you're planning.
A: I thought you were my frieeeeend!
H: Right, well I don't know what you're doing, but I'm not getting involved. Seeya.
A: IF YOU CARE ABOUT MAGES AS MUCH AS YOU SAY YOU DO YOU'LL HELP ME BE A TERRORIST!
H: Goodbye Anders.

Considering the amount of railroading in DA2 I was pleased to discover that you can just refuse to help him and walk away. Not that it stops him of course.

Also, I really hated the Dalish and their belligerent attitude. Just because humans screwed over their ancestors they act overly hostile to all humans they see, regardless of said human's intention.
Hawke: Morning Mr Elf. Nice day we're having.
Dalish: Piss off shem! You're not welcome here!
Hawke: o_0

 

[mooncalf]

Esbern and Delphine from Skyrim

These two, really. There was no reasoning with them, they just seemed like tools of the story's moral choice objectives.

 

[Zburator]

Oh, here we go.

Ohgi and Villetta from Code Geass.
Henpeita Takechi from Gintama.
Kagome from Inuyasha.
Kira Yamato from Gundam Seed Destiny - Turned what could of been a great show up to episode 34, to complete crap.
Sophie Salallisch from Shakugan no Shana.

Katherine from Catherine.
Anders from Dragon Age 2.
Every soulless bastard from Fable
Elanee and Casavair from Neverwinter Nights 2 - Stop oppressing my alignment choices! Also, I wanted Neeshka.
Maya from Persona 2: Innocent Sin.
Tullius, Elisif and that one lazy imperial guard captain at the execution grounds from Skyrim.

Daenerys from The Song of Ice and Fire - Becuase at least Jofferey was alright to hate.

 

[MortisLegio]

Anders from Dragon age
Star Kid from ME3
The Sergeant and Captain Price from Modern Warfare 2
Adrian Helmsley from 2012
Ash Ketchum from Pokemon
Princess Peach from Mario
Rico from Killzone

I can't think of anymore at the time

 

[Calibanbutcher]

Alyx Vance comes to mind.

 

[Aruezi]

Also, I really hated the Dalish and their belligerent attitude. Just because humans screwed over their ancestors they act overly hostile to all humans they see, regardless of said human's intention.
Hawke: Morning Mr Elf. Nice day we're having.
Dalish: Piss off shem! You're not welcome here!
Hawke: o_0

Hah! I felt the same way. Hell, that's the entire reason I always kept Fenris and Merril in my party at all times. Every now and then Merril would start telling Fenris about how sad it is that he didn't get to live with the Dalish and he'd respond by thoroughly insulting them.

 

[The Funslinger]

In my experience, there are 2 mainstream anime protagonists. The first kind are just guys like, say, Ichigo or Goku.

Those I don't have a problem with. They're a little bland, yeah, but I don't hate them. But then there's the other kind. You know them. The spineless, wimpy, stupid, hypocritical little shits that do nothing but mope and whinge the whole goddamn time. They are some of the most loathsome characters in any medium, and I hope they all die in a fire.

I'd bet dollars to donuts you are talking about Shinji Ikari in Evangelion. I wholeheartedly agree with you.

I immediately thought of Ganta from Dead Man Wonderland.

That said, I don't hate him, as how else can a 'normal' kid react in the midst of all that shit.

I hope he toughens up soon, though!

OT: Uhhhm. I don't really hate characters that much. Aside from characters like Joffrey from Game of Thrones, but he's meant to be like that.

Possibly Richard Rahl. Mainly because his ideology is supposed to be so much better than everyone else's. And each book is basically him forgetting the next Wizard's Rule in the chain. Just fucking look them up and memorize them, you arse.

 

[Sumrex]

Tidus from Final fantasy 10
Squall from Final fantasy 8
Warchief of the Horde Garrosh

 

[yuval152]

I love the series "How I met your mother". It is perfect for me to come home, turn one episode on, eat something and relax until I get to the more challenging stuff and duties. I like nearly all of the characters... except Lilly. Such a ***** that pretends to know everything better but is in most cases just wrong.

This, I love the show but everytime I see lilly I want to punch her in to face.

 

[Porkninja]

I have a few, Joffrey from GoT is pretty high up there, along with Mako from Legend of Korra. Both of them resolve around them being massive disgraces and acting like utter utter jerks, as well as screwing over those that should be close to them, and then getting off fairly easy (for now anyway, have to wait for both of the series' to be furthered to actually know). Though in fairness being written to be an antagonist and being a butt is much better than being a protagonist, actually do some good, expect to be liked and still be a butt.

I also disliked Vann in FFXII for the most part, but that is likely due to the fact that he was fairly massively outclassed by most of the other characters, but he just got on my nerves through most of the game.
