Worst protagonists in media you love

[philstar22]

What media do you love but also think one or more of the protagonists is really terrible or badly written?

Scott McCall wasn't the worst but he was so boring.

I actually thought Buffy and Angel were the worst characters of their respective shows. Just both kind of whiny and/or boring.

General Hux from Star Wars. So much wasted potential.

Jon Snow was the worst by the end of the show. Granted everyone was but he was especially horrible and boring. Though, his catch phrase "I dun't want it :C" is something we still say in my household.

IDK if anyone else has read this but the narrator of the Terra Ignota series is soo obnoxious. Love lots of other stuff about the series but like half the time I want to slap him. Not for any of the reasons he actually deserves it, just because he's really annoying.

I’m a fan of DC and Marvel comics, and I usually don’t hate a character completely just because they’ve done something to piss me off in one series or issue(unless it continues for a while). Because different writers can make wildly different interpretations of the same character, sometimes at the exact same time as each other. But I find that I can let the bad actions of a character affect whether I like them really fast if I already thought they were boring or annoying.

The protagonists I dislike the most would be Hank Pym and Clint Barton for Marvel. And Oliver Queen, Barry Allen, and Hal Jordan for DC. I like other Flashes, Green Lanterns, and Ant-Men, and I like Kate Bishop(Wyatt McDonald is okay). I also love Roy Harper, and that’s part of why I hate Oliver. I just don’t like these specific characters who happen to bear the names of these heroes.

And I wish the writers and higher ups would stop insisting that these are the specific characters that are the “best” ones to bear the names, and should be the ones to represent the title in every adaptation(even when they have to play fast and loose with the source material just to fit them in with everyone else when they normally wouldn’t belong there). Or that they should be the only ones to take the name as long as they’re writing for the company, even if they have to retcon everything or kill off their successor just to get them back in the mantle. Just because they were the ones wearing the mantle when they were kids, and everything was ~so much better then~. Especially in regards to Barry Allen and Hal Jordan. Wally West and Jay Garrick are way better Flashes, and John Stewart and Kyle Rayner are much better Green Lantern protagonists. Scott Lang is also way better than Hank Pym, but he doesn’t seem to get treated as badly as Barry and Hal’s successors.

That’s all just my opinion, obviously.

Sabriel, from the Abhorsen series. I love the world building and other characters, but Sabriel herself has no personality. She just does things like a robot (and not the kind that secretly has a soul). Lirael can be annoying, but at least she has a personality.

The same author has a lesser known series that's even worse with the Personality-less Protagonist Problem, Keys to the Kingdom. Sabriel's flatness is endurable, Arthur's was so intense I actually hated him after a few books.

I love Scum Villain's Self-Saving System buuut I hate Binghe.

Is anyone else not seeing the secrets?

[(Anonymous)]

Only 03, 06 and 07 work for me.

Re: Is anyone else not seeing the secrets?

[philstar22]

I see them all.

Re: Is anyone else not seeing the secrets?

[(Anonymous)]

I see all of them as well.

Re: Is anyone else not seeing the secrets?

I see all of them as well.

Re: Is anyone else not seeing the secrets?

Looks like it's a general imgur issue. Pictures hosted there won't show up on other places either.

Re: Is anyone else not seeing the secrets?

[(Anonymous)]

It may depend on where you're from. Imgur has been acting very stupid lately for me - half the time I can view pics, and half the time I can't.

Re: Is anyone else not seeing the secrets?

[(Anonymous)]

I can see all of them today. I'm the anon who couldn't see a single one of them (or access Imgur in any way) for three straight days a week or so ago. At the time, nothing I tried worked, but fortunately the problem fixed itself after three days. Crossing my fingers it sorts itself out for you too, nonny!

Re: Is anyone else not seeing the secrets?

[(Anonymous)]

I see them alright. That is quite ironic because I am Russian anon, so I don't see A LOT of things without VPN but imgur works fine

Re: Is anyone else not seeing the secrets?

[(Anonymous)]

Imgur has been really random in terms of whether or not it works for me, and it's not very consistent, either. If you've got a VPN, try switching locations and try again. It's so annoying. :(

Re: Is anyone else not seeing the secrets?

I see none (Western Europe.)

What's the last good book you read?

[(Anonymous)]

I just read this children's book by an author that is apparently pretty well known but I had never heard of them, Margaret Peterson Haddix. The book was Running Out of Time and was just a fun quick read. I've been on a kick where I'm reading a lot of children's books, both because it suits my attention span and because since I didn't really start reading recreationally until near adulthood I missed out on a lot of fun little stories.

Re: What's the last good book you read?

[kaijinscendre]

How To Sell A Haunted House by Grady Hendrix was fantastic. Just an outrageous horror movie.

Re: What's the last good book you read?

[(Anonymous)]

I just finished Honey and Spice by Bolu Babalola and it was super good. I took off half a star for the annoying 'third act break up' that almost all romance novels seem to have but considering how well written the rest of it was, I still rated it 4.5 stars.

Re: What's the last good book you read?

[philstar22]

The Unbroken, the first Magic of the Lost book.

Yay! Tears of the Kingdom

Gosh, I can't wait for this game. 11:00 pm CDT can't come fast enough.
