Characters that annoy you

[Sweetdeath]

Any woman in a movie or comic who's only role is "love intetest" or "wife."
It's a stigma attachted to women who are almost never the main hero.... It's annoying.


But specifically Cloud from final fantasy 7. There is such a burning hatred for him. He isn't even his own character. He stole Zack's identity. He just sucks as a main hero. Bleeh.

[Tom62]

The Pope.

If only he were just a character.

He isn't a character? No real person would like to dress-up that funny and behave like such an obnoxious fool  .

But, but.... He is all powerful, wears a funny hat, and his blood can heal the sick.

LOL

In what world have you been living in? The Pope is unfortunately very real and out there directing his flock just like the good shepard he is.

And one would think that the divine right of kings was a thing of the past

[Aaron SF]

Any female character who is competent for their first two scenes and then falls to pieces at the end of the movie so the male characters can "save" them.

Seconded. All of the female characters in Dexter.

You know I gotta say I think the police chief lady (dexters boss) has several dimensions, and inspired everything from unmitigated hatred to empathy from me. His sister, also, but only in the first season.

Every single Character from Avatar, I'd say! Including the main guy. By the time I was twenty minutes in I could already see the entire plot panning out ahead of me: who was going to get redeemed, who was going to die, who was going to die and get redeemed, and in exactly what order. This was partly because of how formulaic it was but also because of the obvious, cheesy, go-green agenda behind it, which is never a good basis for a story. 'Messages' of any kind instantly make characters 2-dimensional, points in an argument rather than people, and plots predictable.

Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged is another example of this. The characters in that book pissed me off massively with their bland, black and white obviousness. So does Ayn Rand, come to think of it, and so does 'objectivism'.

I gotta say yeah. No one in that movie was a person, not even sigourney, how sad is that? Sigourney could be in a movie and do nothing other than sit and stare at a blank wall and she'd still be a person to me. They actually had to subvert her inherent three-dimensionality in that movie.

Vincent Valentine, though... Gotta love.

I'd forgotten she was in it.

[hismikeness]

Butch's French wife from Pulp Fiction that wishes she had a pot belly and forgot his Father's watch on the kangaroo.

Lutz from 30 Rock.

Sarah Connor in Terminator 2.

Most talking heads on ESPN, but especially Lee Corso and Lou Holtz. They are incredible idiots.

[CHI83]

Alvin & The Chipmunks (80s cartoon) are soo annoying.
Team Rocket (Pokemon).

[Ragnar]

Wendy Torrance from The Shining.  Like a whiny and whingeing cross between Olive Oyl and Kat from Eastenders, who needed "correcting".

The Saxons in King Arthur, especially the leader, Cerdic.  For a start of Cerdic was a leader of the West Saxons, who founded the Kingdom of Wessex, which is on the opposite side of the country to Hadrians Wall. 

In the movie Cerdic mentions about not breeding with the Britons, hence diluting their good Saxon blood.  But Cerdic is a Briton name, and there is a theory that it was Cerdic, not Vortigern, who was the British chief who married a Saxon, and invited them over as allies to fight against rival British kingdoms.

The main female character from Cold Case.  Can't listen to her voice, watched it one time with my mom.  Never again.

Any male character who can't function in society without his intelligent, always correct, clear thinking, save the day, generally overbearing wife.  Generally sitcoms.  (I hate sitcoms)

Examples:

The King of Queens
Home Improvement
Everybody loves Raymond (my personal most hated show)

I will admit to watching most of those for a bit, but I quickly got tired of them. I always thought Home improvement should have been just the tool time bits, just a spoof of the low budget home improvement show, sort of like Red Green.

[Rizuidad]

Damn. I don't know. I'm not annoyed by any of these people.

[Hidelight]

the Jack in the Box guy and the Burger King guy omg those two not only annoy the hell out of me but they are freaky/scary

[Cecilie]

Wendy Torrance from The Shining.  Like a whiny and whingeing cross between Olive Oyl and Kat from Eastenders, who needed "correcting".

Ugh, I hated her in the movie. I didn't mind her in the book.
