Fictional characters you utterly loathe

I actually know someone like him. I was sitting in class one day just listening to him rant, and then it hit me, he is Dale.

Anywho, I am of the mindset that Hank is the only sane character on that show. On t.v. nowadays, it’s always the bumbling idiot dad with his absolutly perfect wife. On this show, it’s just the other way around. Hank is usually the one that is the voice of reason.

But I hate Peggy with a passion. They had one episode based soley on the fact that other people started to think she was crazy. Because well, she is.

I also so Holden Caufield and Ignatius J. Reilly.

But no one has had as much hatred spewed towards him as has the fat kid from “The Goonies.” Oh, how I wished he would die. In fact, I strongly believe the movie would have been better, and I would have liked it, if they just took out a gun and shot the kid in the back of the head. I would have cheered.

Bajorans. All of them.

Yeah, I’m a racist Trekker. :dubious:

Thank you! Catcher in the Rye is supposedly the book that all lonely outcast teenagers love. Well, when I was a lonely, outcast teenager, I read Catcher. I came to two conclusions: Holden was just a prick, and people who identify with him should really just get over themselves.

Alexander Portnoy from Portnoy’s Complaint, on the other hand, was a character I could relate to much more easily.

But enough of that. Here’s my list.

Patrick Bateman, American Psycho. I spent that whole movie waiting for something bad to happen to him. Say what you will about Hannibal Lecter, at least he had something of a reason.

Iwata, Excel Saga. I like it when he gets the crap beaten out of him.

Practically any character in a S. E. Hinton book. I’ve blocked out any specific example. Those were the books I resented being forced to read in high school.

Cathy, Cathy. Why do you continue to defecate upon my beloved comics page?

Kefka, Final Fantasy VI. Not only does he poison entire cities and actually take over the world, he’s a total poof. It’s like getting the crap beaten out of you, your wallet emptied, your house burned down and your car stolen by a clown. A clown in drag. A clown in drag with a really annoying laugh.

Cait Sith, Final Fantasy VII. Practically useless, first of all. Then he actually betrays your party, and you still keep him around. At least the kitty’s cute.

Bubsy the Bobcat. You made me distrust any game with an animal mascot. I won’t even play Sly Cooper.

Brad, Rocky Horror Picture Show. They gave you the title “hero” in the credits? You didn’t do crap!

64

Turin Turambar. God…he was the original emo kid almost a century before there WERE emo kids! Not only does he do stupid things with no thought for the consequences, but he then doesn’t so much own his mistakes as hug them to his breast as if they were precious children of his loins, all the while lamenting at full volume how the world is so unfair as to cause him such heartache and pain, while changing his name at least twice to monikers that equally as loudly proclaim his hard-put-upon being at the hands of cruel fate and a heartless world.

By the end of the Narn i Hîn Húrin I was just screaming at the idiot to shut up and DIE!

65

Please…give Irving some credit too. He actually MARRIED that shrew!

66

Yes, but this kind of
thing happens in real life, so I don’t find it so annoying. Linky. Linky.

67

Every female hero in every book Virginia Andrews ever wrote.

"Ooh! Is it my fault that I’m so beautiful and radiate such a sexy innocence? So he’s a handsome sweet, manly, sexy young millionaire and he was supposed to marry you and now he’s in love with me.
:: blinks eyelashes innocently, leaves behind a trail of misery ::

68

I don’t think Alexander the Great holds a candle to Kefka. He may have been gay, but I don’t think Alexander dressed like a clown.

69

Jack the Reckless from Golding’s Lord of the Flies.

Not that Ralph the Whiner was much better. And Piggy with the “assmar” got on my nerves too, though I felt really bad when he met that rock.

70

Another vote for Peggy Hill. She’s just dumb, but she assumes she’s smarter than everyone else and talks in that…“Peggy Hill” tone of voice. She just gets on my nerves, and I can’t tell whether or not the writers want her to be annoying. I like the other characters on the show, though.

Nurse Ratchet from One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Do I even need to qualify this one? She’s a cruel, psychotic manipulative bitch.

Anakin Skywalker; how does such a whiny teenager end up being such a bad ass villain?

Sandi, president of the fashion club from the Daria. Petty, manipulative, jealous bitch who I’d hate to meet in real life. She’s always trying to make Quinn look bad to boost her own ego, and then I always find myself rooting for Quinn when she defends herself while feigning(?) innocence (“Gee, Quinn. I hope you’re not saying that…” “Sandi! I’d never say that! Of course you should still be president of the fashion club. What I meant was…”) She really gets on my nerves, and I’m sure that’s intentional. Even the other “shallow” characters on the show at least show some redeeming qualities every once in a while to show that they’re still human and you can relate to them, but Quinn is just a bitch throughout the whole series.

71

I thought of another one.

Anna Karenina. For the love of Og, you little slut, you were the one with no self-control or self-respect. You destroy your family to have some fun with a pretty-boy and you expect us to pity you when it all goes into the shitter? Grow up.

72

Darth Malak from Kotor: big on the bombastic grandstanding monologues about the Power of the Dark Side, but really a treacherous baldy sneak who scores victories through having a really big battleship. Wants to usurp Revan as Dark Lord? Forget settling it face to face - I’ll just blow up his ship. Can’t find Bastila? Forget looking for her - I’ll just blow up the planet she’s on.

Then when you do finally face him “Master vs. Apprentice” on the Leviathan, for all his big bad rep {“No! He’s too powerful!”} he can’t stand up to you in a straight fight: despite bragging on you for 10 minutes about how strong he is and how weak you are, a couple of solid hits and he runs away and hides. Twice.

He can’t even face you on the Star Forge without his legions of robots, Dark Jedi, more robots and finally captive Jedi to suck the life from - and he’s still bragging about how invincible he is. Darth Malak is a rabbit basher - give him his toys and he’s flashy against weak opposition, take them away and he’s a big girls’ blouse - just one that won’t shut up.

73

Hard to do that when you’re 19th century road-kill, though. :wink:

One more character I hate. From Final Fantasy VII.

I had no idea what the game was about when I played it on my roommate’s PS. And well, when I had the chance to name the main character, that head of hair of his… well, it looked exploded. So I called him “Chernobyl.” I had no idea just how prescient that name would be. Cloud is a mind-melded yoick, who will always make things worse if he possibly can. grrrrrrrr

74

And I believe Sandi, above all others, is what’s keepign Quinn from being a good person all around. Everyonce and a while, Quinn’ll try to do the right thing, but she’s always wondering what the Fashion Club, and ultimatly, Sandi will think of her.

75

Every recurring male character on Sex and the City, with the possible exception of Berger and Mr. Big. But I’m not exactly nuts about them.

I can barely watch this show. Especially knowing so many women consider it a documentary.

76

Simple: there’s nothing like having your legs cut off, being horribly burned by molten lava, and then being fitted with life support and prothetics without anesthesia, to make you realize what real suffering and misery is.

77

I’m told that around the world, in dozens of different languages and cultures, his nickname is always “Asshole”.

78

I want to kill Nynaeve, from WoT. Actually, I want to kill almost all the female characters. I admit I’ve only read the first eight books, but the women were smug, childish, whiny bitches in the beginning, and they were smug, childish, whiny bitches in book eight. Aargh.

It’s usually the characters that I despise, not the ones that I hate, that I want to kill. The ones that make me stomp around shouting, ‘You are too stupid to live, you little prick!’. So, Scarlett and Mr. Collins and most of L. M. Montgomery’s villains, especially Valancy’s mother. Grr.

79

Oh, and re: The Hobbit, I nominate-

Bombur. As far as I can tell, the whole party would have been better off if they’d simply hanged Bombur at the start.

80

My most hated fictional characters:

Heathcliff And Cathy from Wuthering Heights . Almost everyone in that book is such a hateful, unappealing person, but the two main characters esp.

I’ll certainly agree with the choice of Marius from Les Miserables.

I didn’t like the main character in Ivanhoe much either.

While I dislike Scarlett O’hara, I think Vivien Leigh did an incredible acting job in bringing the witch to life.

Know-it-all Lyra from The Golden Compass.

I’m sure there’s more, but those are the ones that come immediately to mind.
