Every single one of the “good guys” from Jurassic Park II except the nerdy one who was eaten by the two T-rexes. Basically, the lot of them were nothing but criminals whose actions resulted in the deaths of dozens of people and Spielberg had the nerve to pass them off as “heroes.”
Zombies, in general. I hate zombie movies. I hate zombie video games. I don’t even watch zombie movies anymore, because I hate zombies so much. Not even seeing them destroyed in spectacular ways can quell my anger toward them. The really terrible part: I haven’t watched the Evil Dead movies because of my hatred of zombies, and I have it on good authority that these are great movies. I simply cannot tolerate zombies. If there were ever real zombies, I would do everything in my power to aid the zombie eradication effort without actually having to interact with or even look at zombies. Plus, they smell.
How about these?
I could barely continue reading about Harry Potter’s victimization by Umbridge due to the seething rage I felt. In Harry’s place I would have killed or died rather than suck up what he had to.
And I started a whole thread awhile back about what a cowardly hypocrite Winston Smith was.
Another vote for Umbridge, my skin crawls whenever she is on the page.
Robert B. Parker’s Spenser. You sir, make me crazy. However, you solve interesting mysteries so I stick with you for some demented, masochistic reasons that even I don’t fully understand. You’re not that funny, your worldview is stuck in 1972, you have zero respect for women and you’re one of those annoying people who doesn’t even realize you have no respect for women because you lurrrve women. If they have nice legs, of course. Plus, you think it’s cute and endearing that your girlfriend has what appears to be a serious eating disorder. Susan, I’m looking at you – you’re just as bad as Spenser. Also, eat something. (PS I have not read the latest book yet, so if Pearl dies, don’t tell me! I love Pearl. And Hawk. I think I keep reading the series for Hawk and Pearl. They should ditch Spenser and Susan and have their own series.)
Hermann Hesse’s Siddhartha. Yes, I know you eventually end up as the Buddha, but you completely lost me emotionally when you became a DEADBEAT DAD. To show I’m equally critical of the literature of my own religion, I have also been harboring ill-will toward the Prodigal Son ever since I learned about him in CCD. Gah, you’re so annoying! There’s a debate in the Christian community about whether Jesus had brothers (if Mary and Joseph had other children) and I swear I’m convinced he didn’t because no one who has ever had an annoying younger brother would think that the story of the Prodigal Son is a good teaching tool.
Senator/Vice President Kinsey from Stargate SG-1. It’s amazing how I can hate him almost as much as real politicians.
Every single idiotic, self-deluded, self-righteous, stuck-up, pretentious character in Billy Jack, with the exception of Billy himself (whom I still didn’t like very much) and the poor flunkey cop and doctor who do what they can to help the school and fail to rescue the student body from its own stupidity.
Elmer Gantry (although I guess I’m supposed to)
George Amberson Minafer from The Magnificent Ambersons (the movie, I haven’t read the book).
The spoiled snot was redeemed somewhat at the end, but if his family hadn’t lost their money, he would have stayed spoiled and snotty. What a brat. And his family was proud of it!
Scarlett, definitely.
When I first discovered that Vivien Leigh was a theatrically-trained British actress, I nearly collapsed. It was her portrayalthat made most of us want to smack Scarlett upside-down and inside-out!
*Makes a mental note to quote to whom she’s responding… :smack: *
Lord Denethor (Lord of the Rings)- hatred.
Melisande Shahrizai (Kushiel’s Chosen)- burning hatred.
Lucy Steele (Sense & Sensibility)- burning, seething hatred.
Zarine Bashere (Wheel of Time)- hack her to death with a kitchen knife.
Another vote for everybody on Seinfeld- vapid, selfish, hypocritical whiners all.
The Phantom of the Opera (in the musical)- I don’t care how suave he is and how horrible a childhood he had, he’s a psychopathic murderer and extortionist! Tracking him down with torches and forcing him to flee was the best day’s work the mob ever did. A pity they didn’t catch him like they did in the silent film.
Holden Caulfield- whiny little hypocrite. (Though I do wonder what he’s doing now that he’s 70.)
You…like Bobby? Good God how is that possible?! He’s the dumbest, most immature kid ever! Connie is alright. And I actually like Dale, Boomhower, and Bill (I’m a sucker for the too pathetic to be real character (like Gill and Dr.Zoidberg.))
But the entire Hill family needs to drive that damn truck off a fucking cliff.
I have to agree with the dislike of the characters in Seinfeld. I don’t watch much TV, but the few times I watched that show I never understood why it was so popular. Jason Alexander’s character made me want to puke.
Blasphemy!
Two of the greatest heroes in the DCU, ever.
But he is what he is. I think that’s cool.
Good God how is that possible? He’s totally stupid, a total coward (screams like a girl on several episodes), paranoid, sneaky, uses spy cams on his friends, just a total putz. His only good point is that he loves “his” son.
You were disappointed that the Professor put a childish character in a children’s book? 
Look, the Hobbit and LOTR, though taking place in the same continuity, are not at all the same sort of book (and the Silmarillion is a different sort of book entirely). I don’t think your criticism is reasonable, the same way that people who bitch that the Orcs’ in LOTR are too harsh for children are missing the point. (Though at least they’re closer to the mark; LOTR was originally conceived as a sequel to the Hobbit in tone as well as plot.)
I’m with you on Marius, as well as that silly bint fell in wth. They got poor Eponine killed.
Bastards.
:mad:
I must defend Ian Malcolm here, and to a lesser degree, his daughter. He knew going to the island was a horrible idea, only went to rescue his girlfriend, and when he discovered his daughter had stowed away immediately, if ineffectualy, acted to leave. (I refuse to believe he had anything to do with freeing the dinosaurs; that was all Vince Vaughn’s character and the otherwise ineffably lovely Julianna Moore.) And the daughter at least at the excuse of being twelve and therefore an idiot.
Mersault. (Camus’ Etranger) I hated him. I loathed him. I wanted him to do something, anything, in the active tense. Even farting, for Og’s sake.
Gendo Ikari. (Neon Genesis Evangelion) It’s because of him that I talk about death by caustic enema as the ultimate punishment.
Emma Bovary. (Gustav Flaubert’s Mme. Bovary) I was not upset by her death. Not at all.
