Characters you hate with a passion.

[Xaio30]

Sasuke from Naruto: Shippuuden
Old-Nagging-B*tch from KotOR II.

I do not dare make this list longer as I fear my inner cynic taking over.

 

[xplosive59]

Pretty much every Final Fantasy character, with the exception of most incarnations of Cid, who's pretty much a FF Han Solo, what with the airship and all.

Winy brats, annoying childish anime cliches, and moppy villains. Ugh.

I am taking a guess that you have only played Final Fantasy games after 7 as the majority of the characters in 5, 6 and 4 (to an extent) do not fit the archetype at all, especially Cid who is nothing like Han Solo and more of the typical inventor usually.

 

[xPixelatedx]

That one guy, from that one game. You know who I am talking about... aww heck. They're all the same anyway.

I pray for the day this "every-man" fad dies.

 

[NoOne852]

The guildmaster from Fable (original). "Hero, your will is low"
Stfu! I got enough will potions to fill an ocean!

Larry from The Walking Dead games.

Lord Hood from Halo. I don't know why, but something about him just makes me not like him.

 

[Judgment90]

There are several for me:

1. Luke from Tales of the Abyss for being, IMO, an irredeemable twat.
2. The Night Mother from Skyrim for scaring me. (Yes, I am a pussy)
3. Practically everyone but Auron from FFX.
4. Of course, Sasuke from Naruto/Shippuden.
5. Yukari from Persona 3 (for reasons I rather not say).

 

[Casual Shinji]

Hey man, Snake isn't an every man, he's like a "forever young" Kurt Russel. And Frank West has covered wars, you know.

OT: Kia Lang from Mass Effect 3. There was no fucking reason for this MGS reject to even be there. And all of a sudden he's this ultimate badass who has a history with Anderson.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Let see-
That magic superhero guy from Bleach

Gonna need to be waaay more specific.

Snips and Snails-MLP:FiM
Dodoria-DBZ
Cole McGrath- InFamous series
Heihachi Mishima- Tekken.

Sorry I mean that human comedy relief character that appear near the start of the series, sometime at the fillers episode and appear again in Aizen arc (yes I'm still too lazy to look up his name). You know the one who claim to be a superhero and make that stupid pose. While he can see ghost too but he doesn't even know what a Shinigami is (but in saying so most of the other support human character don't have a clue either)!

He's such a bad relief character and he is utterly terrible at dealing with them! At least most those minor characters that can see ghost have the potential to fight them like Ichigo sister.

 

[VeneratedWulfen93]

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 Dalish have every right to be angry though. They had everything and lost because of humans. Not one or two specific humans but because of the race as a whole. Same in the Witcher, Iorveth may have lost sight of his goal due to his hatred but when you see what the humans have brought the elves down to you understand when you here them curse Bledae Dhoine. I have a soft spot for species fucked over like that like elves and Eldar.

Maybe, but most of that was hundreds, even thousands of years before the events of Dragon Age. What's more if I remember the second Exalted March primarily came about because of their outright refusal to allow the Chant of Light to be practiced within their lands, which was not only stupid, but just plain rude. Well, that and one particularly stupid raiding party gave he Chantry just the excuse they needed. Still, this could have been avoided.

I'm just saying there's no call for them to be as dickish as they are. A little angry? Yes. Somewhat hostile towards outsiders? Perfectly understandable. Having all but a handful of the people in your camp constantly alternate between insulting me, or claiming that they're looking for any possible excuse to kill me? Despite the fact that I've done nothing but try to help them? All over things that happened generations before I was born?

No. No, I'm going to bring along the former slave that endured horrible torture and heartache at the hands of a human mage, fought for his freedom and then proceeded to start a new life in the city without acting like a hateful little prick to every "shem" he comes across (Mages are a different matter though) with me. And he will mock you.

I won't expect the Elves to ever forget what was done to them. maybe if the majority of humans weren't dicks to them I would say yeah whatever. Just because one human is helping them doesn't change their entire racial outlook. Its not specific elves being angry at specific humans. Its the elves baring a grudge, the chant was never their religion and it shouldn't be forced on them. Denying it was not stupid or rude it was having integrity and not bowing to a foreign power.

 

[Gone Rampant]

Karren Travis. May she burn for what she did to Halo and Star Wars.

You mean offer different perspectives? I'll admit I'm not a big fan of her Halo work, but she did make the Republic Commando novels flipping awesome, and her work in Gears of War was great.

No, I LOVE Republic Commando and her GOW work. It's Legacy Of The Force and Halsey in Grasslands that pisses me off.

 

[NewfieKeir]

For the record, Andrea is WAY better in TWD comics than the TV series.

Honestly, Dale in the Comics is one of these for me near the end.

As for others:

Starchild - ME
Leonard - BBT: He's just such an ass. I don't feel any sympathy for him because all he thinks about is sex. I mean come on, Wallowitz is supposed to be that guy and Raj at least thinks about other things once in a while.
Kahlee Sanders - ME: She's Mary Sue incarnate. A book character who is a super-intelligent scientist and a kick ass military woman who everyone is bloody after and even Anderson wants to sleep with her along with the other male lead in the book series... Jesus. Even the reapers are convinced she's somehow important. And then she gets to be in the third game instead of the Grissom girl? Please.
Kai Leng - from ME Deception: He was fine in the previous books and fine in the game. He was an idiot in this book.
Logain - DA: You're supposed to hate him- so why do I get the chance to trade someone I actually like for him later on, when not doing so makes me look like a bad guy? He has no redeeming quality.
Every character fro FF

Cortez: Mass Effect 3. His inclusion inn the game was the primary reason for me to return it to the store I bought it at.

Uhh... Why?

 

[Launcelot111]

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...

In the very first sentry series (I believe), it was revealed that at the height of his power, the Sentry's very glowing presence could soothe the Hulk into submission, no fight required. The whole concept was just "Superman but better but also dark and tormented," which was cool for about two seconds until they turned him into some idiot misguided loose cannon who just stonewalled every storyline. Thank fuck he's dead for now. You can't have a good storyline with the Sentry in the other room waiting to kill every hero in about two seconds.

My choices are everyone but Baltar and Gaeta from Battlestar Galactica, Teri Bauer from 24, Dust from New X-men, and Riley from Buffy

 

[INVALIDUSERNAME]

Alec D'Urberville from Tess of the D'Urbervilles. If you've ever wanted just the physical manifestation of a prick, he'll give it to you and then some.

Legacy of the Force was a disaster waiting to happen with or without Traviss. The only person who could write a decent story was Aaron Alliston. Traviss and Troy Denning were too busy trying to make the other's pet characters look bad and it was detrimental to the story. Plus Denning turned Tahiri into a pedophile.

I don't care how bad Traviss botched Mara Jade and Lumiya's deaths, at least she didn't have a previously likeable character perform attempted rape against a fourteen year old while simultaneously torturing his best friend to death in front of his eyes.

I can accept that they'd be angry, and hold a grudge, but they seemed to make holding that grudge their entire reason for existence. I have more respect for the city elves, who are in arguably a much worse position (forced to live in slums, treated as second class citizens) but at least try and knuckle down and get on with their lives, taking comfort in their traditions and strong sense of community.

By contrast, a lot of the Dalish (more so in DA2) seem to have made their entire personality 'I hate humans'. Maybe humans are dicks to them, but if they're dickish right back, relations are never going to improve. It's like if you met a Native American who was unnecessarily belligerent and kept talking about General Custer and smallpox blankets. While he may have a valid point, after a while you'd be sick of hearing it.

 

[3quency]

Ezio fucking Auditore.

Spoiler

Not only is he a blatant Mary Sue protagonist, regularly scorin' with the ladies and making Leonardo Davinci look pathetic, but the ONE ENEMY in the ENTIRE GAME that he's fully justified in murdering... he doesn't murder.

Hundreds of guards just doing their job, dozens of conspirators that were superfluous to the main target, even the odd bandit (okay, little more justified) only to leave the one guy in the game who's a giant asshole alive.

To the poster above me: Jesus Christ, homophobic much?

 

[NewfieKeir]

Cortez: Mass Effect 3. His inclusion inn the game was the primary reason for me to return it to the store I bought it at.

Uhh... Why?

Because of his claims to have been "married" to a man, and just overall offensive nature. He was a disgusting character.

Ah so it's not the character, it's his sexuality.

No not his sexuality, his political message.

...Which is directly related to his sexuality. If you have a problem with it just loudly say BOYFRIEND whenever he says husband, or if you have a problem with that say GIRLFRIEND.
