Can be from anything like your favorite series or anything you're currently watching now.

Tied-dead last in all of fandom, Chibnall's Doctor and Moffat's Master.

Loved Missy, can't stand Chibnall's Master.

That cop in the third series of House who got all obsessed with House throughout that entire series.

Also Fizzgig from Labyrinth.

Wrong Henson project, Fizzgig is from The Dark Crystal not the Magic Pants flick.

oops you're right - my hate for fizzgig is so great I clean forgot where I saw him and his demon mouth.

Do you mean Hoggle? He was the obnoxious dwarf in Labyrinth.

I think you were supposed to hate Tritter, although I know a lot of people thought he just messed the show up and was an unrealistic character.
I still hate 13.

I feel like this is a hard question, because the character I liked the absolute least is probably in some book I disliked so much I stopped reading it and forgot about it.

Worst I can remember is the government goon who’s a love interest in the Species Imperative series. The author seems to have this hard-on for authoritarian governments that censor knowledge and disappear citizens “for the greater good,” and it usually stays in the background because it’s tangential to the story being told, but the boyfriend is so involved in that shit that it’s impossible to separate from his character, and all is forgiven because he’s hot.

P.S. This would be a “we have this thread every week,” but the place we have it every week is Spacebattles. So many threads derail into “this character sucks and here’s why.

Momonuske in One Piece. I know he's only eight years old, but boy, is everything about his character a miss for me. The fact that I don't really like his father either doesn't help.

Also, we have seen a lot of kids in One Piece thanks to the flashbacks, and not one of them has been as obnoxious as Momo. The problem is Momonuske, not his age (which is the most common defense of his character that I have seen).

I hate at least three characters more than Momo (the worst is Caribou fuck that guy) but yep Momo's in the bottom five. So annoying and you're right, it's not because he's eight.

Re: Who is Your Least Favorite Character?

I hated (and still hate) Gwen Cooper so much I stopped watching Torchwood.

As for least favorite, with an emphasis on favorite, I would have to say Pete Saengtham. He was further up the list, but all the crap with the actor and fans trying to defend his shitty behavior made me start disliking the character more. I still like Pete, just not as much as I did before all the scandals. I prefer Arm or Job more, now.

+1 on Gwen, I didn't stop watching until after 'Children of Earth' but I hated her so much.

At least you didn't join a hate sub and write hatefic about her.

I don't understand people like that, wasting energy on a character they hate. Like, why are they taking up your mental real estate that much if they suck?

Gwen is an excellent example of the writers utterly failing to understand what they were writing. The disconnect between what they thought Gwen represented and how she actually came across is boggling.

These days, MCU Sam Wilson.

The Ricky Gervais parody character in Upstart Crow. I don't even find Ricky Gervais funny to begin with and the guy sticks out like a sore thumb in the entire show for the sake of a cheap gag they keep using throughout the 3 series.

Ugh, yes!

An obnoxious parody of an obnoxious person isn’t funny to me. And really disrupted the whole tone.

There are a lot of characters who simply aren't my cup of tea, but I think Joel from The Last of Us really takes the cake for me realizing he was terrible, realizing that this was intentional and very much part of the writing, yet being drowned in a sea of people who completely missed the point of his character being terrible in the original game who then became frothingly outraged that he was portrayed to be, you know, as terrible as he always was in the sequel.

Which is to say I guess that Joel was an extremely effective character for what he was supposed to be and I for one welcomed the Joel-in-One in TLOU2 even if nobody else did lmao.

I just finished playing TLOU part 1 for the first time last week, and I got to the hospital scene at the end and was like NO. JOEL. You ASSHOLE. What a horrible man! I know nothing about part 2, and won't play it until it gets a PC port, but I hope Ellie rips him a new one and makes that old man suffer.
