I hated Coulson in the MCU, but thankfully he's shuffled off into his own show and won't turn up in the movies again so, silver lining. I will never understand why fandom fawned over him though, he was such a bland character.

Billy in Stranger Things, who I do think is supposed to be deliberately unlikable to an extent. But I am not here for woobfying that fuckhead at all and if he gets offed next season I will cheer.

Barbra Gorden in DC comics has always irritated me and I can never figure out why, just for whatever reason every version of her I've seen in cartoons or read in comics just does not click with me. It's not seething hatred or anything but ugh, I'm not a fan.

And it's not hate but I am very much over Tony in the movies, I still don't mind him in his solo-films but he was never my favourite and I don't need him everywhere thanks.

I like Tony, but my issue with him is how little growth he has had. All the other characters have grown and changed (except for the really new ones, so I excuse them). Tony just keeps going back to the same place.

Yeah, he doesn't really change and it gets frustrating after a while. I do love his relationships with Rhodey and Pepper but without them he can be a bit much for me to take, he needs them to help smooth out his rough edges.

TBH that's really on the writers - and mostly on Joss Whedon the writers of the team-up movies. He'll get some growth in his solo films, and then it'll be rolled back the moment he appears in anything else because what is consistency and coherency?

Seconding Billy from Stranger Things. I mean, in the show's defense, I don't think they wrote him as morally ambiguous in any way, nor do I think they have any intention of woobifying him. They wanted a human villain, so that's what they wrote. The worst I could say about the show's handling of Billy is that I just don't feel he was necessary to the story and the writing didn't do much to make him feel necessary.

OTOH, it does seem like a lot of viewers want to see him redeemed somehow, and yeah, I'm so not here for that. I was honestly rooting for Max to skewer him in the leg with the nail-bat, and was kind of annoyed when she didn't.
