The most disappointing characters

[TheGrueHunter]

Zant from Twilight Princess. He appears to be an intimidating foe, but then when you get to actually confront him he suddenly starts acting like a giggling lunatic clown with no explanation whatsoever for this abrupt personality shift. I can't ever take him seriously as a villain anymore.

Nyreen Kandros

Spoiler

A female turian assassin turned freedom fighter. So much potential, so little done with her.

You mean you didn't like that super deep and logical sacrifice where she killed herself to kill off a couple adjutants JUST when Shepard got there and which he/she probably could of taken on? It was the only way!

In general, I disliked how the entire DLC worked inside a bubble. I wasn't able to get any of my party members into the mission, nor was I able to recruit anyone back to my game.

I was just pissed it wasn't part of the main game. I mean, Bioware teased it with that Omega comic, but then they had the gall to use that half-assed Aria quest that basically screamed "BUY THE DLC!!11!one11!". Overall, I felt that each of the story dlcs had some sort of aspect that should have been in the main game to start with...

From Ashes: A Prothean companion is NOT Day on DLC, especially considering his expanded role in the story in the leaked design documents.

Leviathan: An actual "origin" the the Reapers rather than the Starbrat handwaving them by saying "you would not know them"

Omega: Basically the entire DLC

Citadel: An expanded dlc and actually worthwhile romances

I tend to feel better about the other DLC than Omega.

From Ashes: If you don't have it, the Prothean only change is that you can't have him during missions. His powers are not that great, and the only moments he adds to the story are in Thessia and one scene on the Citadel.

Leviathan: I think it was a big lost that they didn't included it on the game, except a lot of it seems to be reactionary to the response of the ending. In other words, I suspect the role of Leviathan in the original plans for the DLC was not as linked and important to the Reapers arc...

Citadel: It was clear that it was developed way after the game, and its such a change in tone that it doesn't really fit at any point during the campaign. I tend to think of it as barely canon.

Omega, on the other hand, adds nothing to the campaign. Its heavily based on combat and survival horror, with no relevant choices outside of a little dialogue, and forces me to use a specific team with members that last only that mission. The content is so self contained that the new enemy type does not appear after that. Besides some extra points, the is no reason to play it.

Personally it's hard to recall disappointing characters because more often than not they are just forgettable. It's difficult to recall forgettable characters. I had to give this a lot of thought.

Darth Maul for an obvious answer I guess.

OT: At first, I thought the character Thomas from Regular Show was pretty disappointing after his first appearance... He did get two or three decent episodes revolved around him, but I kinda still want to know more about this intern... besides the fact that he's the butt of all the jokes geared towards him...

I agree with this. The character adds absolutely noting to the show and he is a dreadfully dull strait man character to boot. That's especially problematic for Regular Show because its such a dull series to begin with.

Looking at your avatar FPLOON, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic's King Sombra was pretty bad.

A lot of characters in Bioshock: Infinite, mainly the antagonists. The Songbird immediately comes to mind but Daisy Fitzory was another one in a way. The same thing for the Handymen if they were suppose to be comparable to the Big Daddies.

Ehh, Sombra might not have done much but he was what the show needed him to be. Besides, it gave the fandom plenty of room to explore him and what his back story is. Plus his design was pretty awesome.

 

[FPLOON]

The problem with Thomas isn't that he's a bad character: It's that he never gets used. And that's because he doesn't really have a one dimensional personality trait to expand on.

That's one of my main pet peeves with characters in general, despite still enjoying them onscreen, I find disappointing... I sure Thomas has more to his character than whet he appears to be right now... He just has to do something that would cause the other character to get a bit suspicious to his current motives... like leaving abruptly during a park meeting or something like that...

Looking at your avatar FPLOON, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic's King Sombra was pretty bad.

As much I would LOVE to "go gay for Sombra" (since I love this character that much actually), he didn't last that long in the spotlight of his big appearance... Then again, this lack of a "big entrance" actually fits well with the character so far, plus as Worgen stated, this gave ample opportunity for the fandom to develop more of his backstory...

Also, his voice matches his design so well... I still gives me a smile whenever I re-watch the Crystal Empire episodes...

the tim burton version of willy wonka from charle and the chocolate factory:

i love johnny depp but this was one of his worst performences period he just coudnt capture the spirit and charm from the book good thing depp went on to voice sweeny tood ^^

In all fairness to Depp, Willy Wonka himself was perhaps not focused on enough in the 00's film because Dahl hated the original film. Can't really do stuff when you just get a quirky line or two to work from.

Fair enough, though I should mention I'm not into the MLP fandom, so what the fans have done with him and what was done in the show are completely separate to me. And when it came to the show he was pretty disappointing, espically given how hyped that season premiere was and how much more memberable villains were. I thought he was a cool villian conceptionlly, too bad we really don't know that much about him.

I think that knowing more about him could only have made him less threatening as a villain. Keep in mind, we have already seen the mane6 take out a dark goddess, chaos personified and they were able to hang with a changeling army. Having Sombra as more a force of nature than a character worked fine for what he needed to be.

 

[VodkaKnight]

Demise from Skyward Sword. He only appears for the last 20 minutes or so, and barely gets any characterisation.
He could have been interesting, but no.
Appear, fight, curse placed, die.
That's all he does.

True, but I'm still holding out they'll do something more with him. Which I'm sure they will. The show has had "face-less" forces of nature villains before, but since we already knew Somba had an obviously clear malevolent motivationI was kinda hoping for him to have more of a character to him. Instead of generic tyrant villian.
