Unlikeable main characters

[AndyCr15]

Beth Dutton in Yellowstone. I expect they are aiming for (and maybe many accept her as) a straight-talking, tough woman that doesn't accept any nonsense. I just see her as a really nasty person.

I enjoyed her for a few seasons but last few years she's starting to grate, no character growth at all, she's just stunted and stuck in a single mode, really want Jamie to take her to the train station - along with John.

Bryce Dallas Howard in the Jurassic World films, she's an awful actress and highly annoying. Was hoping she'd get munched by a T-Rex.

Didn't really ruin the films though as they were abysmal anyway

ST: Voyager had a bunch of annoying characters. Janeway for a start. Nelix and that blonde alien woman that looked 30 but way only 6-7 years old. All filler, no killer.

Kes, and Neelix.

They killed Kes off at the end of season 2/3 and Neelix got a lot less screen time.

And yes they were both horrendous.

Then seven of nine turned up, and all of a sudden the episodes got significantly better.

 

[Iron Man]

I hated them both as they were essentially useless characters that became quasi bridge officers.

 

[jcr]

Dexter tv show, his foul mouthed sister. i ended up forwarding through any scenes she was in because i found her so irritaiting.

 

[Junglist]

I've just started watching 'Your Honour' and I can't stress just how much I hate the son, Adam.

 

[ianh]

All of the Duttons in Yellowstone, phenomenal acting by all but sweet baby Jesus they are hateful characters willing to destroy anything and anyone over the tiniest of slights (not talking about the big "I'm the Bad Guy this season" stuff but all the low level nastiness to everyday folks).

I enjoyed her for a few seasons but last few years she's starting to grate, no character growth at all, she's just stunted and stuck in a single mode, really want Jamie to take her to the train station - along with John.

The continuous cycle of petty violence and nasty behaviour surrounding Her and Jamie has been a millstone around the series neck since Season 2, they just rinse/repeat the same boring storyline between the pair and it's just a drag to get through.

How can anyone not like Uncle Albert??

I forgot how bad Ross Geller was actually lol. https://evoke.ie/2018/04/04/entertainment/tv/ross-geller-worst-character-ever

Personally liked all the characters in Friends, Ross included. That site is taking things way too seriously lol

 

[gingergundog]

Dale Face from the walking dead, oh and Andrea

 

[mrgubby]

Breaking Bad: Skyler
Chronicles of Thomas Covenant: Thomas Covenant. Six books later: still Thomas Covenant.

I read all the Covenant books and enjoyed them but hated the character that much I've never been able to reread them

 

[bazzabear]

I thought Linden Avery from the second chronicles was more annoying, until she came into her own - so determinedly ineffectual.

 

[Andrew_McP]

hated the character that much I've never been able to reread them

I have but haven't read the last Linden Avery book because I needed to re-read the rest to get back into the universe (which I remember finding very satisfying) and I really can't face it. I have a similar problem with his Gap science fiction series, which I rate ridiculously highly as an overall story arc. I want to rediscover why I felt like that, but it's such a gruelling slog -- in a "Happy Valley series 1" kind of way that I just can't get started!

 

[bazzabear]

I never managed to complete the third chronicles. Although I can't remember what it was about them that failed to enthuse me.

 

[gingergundog]

Jax Teller SOA

 

[potatolord]

Wesley Crusher from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Just really, really irritating.

 

[ZXSpectrum]

I didn’t like any of the Soprano crew, with the possible exception of Bobby. They were all just violent, murdering human scum

I think this is intentional. I haven't seen the Sopranos but i think its probably similar to Sons of Anarchy and Mayans. Its written in a way that in some small part of you can empathise with the main characters because of their story, charisma and that's how the character survives. Stand back and look at it objectively they are all murdering scumbag gang members whose only loyalty is to the MC. They kill other gangs but also women, children, innocents and police with little to no remorse and relatively minor consequences other than the way they die that being what they live for. Sutter is a master of this sort of writing and characterizations.

 

[Rimsy]

Daniel Craig in Knives Out. It was a terrible terrible movie anyway but he just made it unwatchable with that ****** awful accent!

Galadriel (Cate Blanchett) in LotR. What a knob.

 

[iron_monkey]

Love this thread, I cant stand most characters in tv shows and i cheer if they die in some horrible way, it does make you appreciate the ones you like though.

 

[iamtheoneneo]

anyone from Succession....but then thats kind of the point of the show.
