Re: Worst character interpretation you've ever seen?

[(Anonymous)]

Innocent woobie Brock Rumlow.

Long-suffering, saintly woobie Loki. Finding him sympathetic is one thing; claiming that everything he did was other characters' fault is another.

Evil, abusive rapist Bucky Barnes.

No. 2 is like every other fic but I'm amazed that 1&3 are possible because most stories are the exact opposite. Though that annoys me too.

Well, Rumlow being the opposite of an innocent woobie is actually canon, especially in the comics where he is a rapist and genuinely vile person. In the MCU, he's still someone who had no qualms about what HYDRA was doing to the Winter Soldier, was OK with murdering 20 million people for HYDRA reasons, and had no problem with cold-bloodedly murdering people with whom he'd worked closely and seemed to genuinely like.

But there is that contingent that thinks he's completely innocent and really romanticizes him.

The villain's a villain, I get that, but try reading a hundred AUs in which he's cast as everyone's (but especially Bucky's) abusive ex and see if you don't get tired of the portrayal too. Cheap drama.

I'm really glad that I've never seen the third one. Do a lot of authors use it to set up Steve/Tony or something so that Steve can be ~rescued~? Or is it typically used in just straight up non-con fic?

It used to be a thing that some Steve/Tony writers did to set up Steve/Tony and to woobify Tony. It was pretty much a genre of its own pre-TWS. This was back when 90% of the Steve/Bucky tag was fic where Bucky was either Steve's dead ex ot Steve's abusive ex to set up Steve/Tony, and the bad taste it left has stayed with me.
