Character Interpretations You Hate

[(Anonymous)]

Are there versions of any particular character, either in adaptions or in fic, that feel really wrong to you? Like a complete misunderstanding of the character.

Re: Character Interpretations You Hate

I cannot stand Stiles in most Teen Wolf fic. I feel like most of the writers are going by fandom memes, not the actual show.

Low-Self-Esteem!WWX. Dude has plenty of self esteem. That is NOT his problem.

in the wake of Rebirth's release yesterday, I can't stand people who interpret Cloud as 'emo'. He was only moody in Advent Children because of things that happened in the main game, and in Kingdom Hearts isn't on screen enough for any other interpretation. in the main timeline of FF7 he goes through a trauma conga line of:
- seeing his childhood idol burn down his hometown, kill his mother, best friend and love interest
- spent four years as a test subject, being inflicted with mako poisoning as a result
- only really comes out of it because he "absorbed" Zack's personality/what he thinks a SOLDIER would act like thanks to the Jenova cells now in his bloodstream
- FORGOT about Zack
- puppeteered to kill Aerith
- puppeteered to hand the black materia over
- fell INTO the lifestream and suffered mako poisoning AGAIN
- had his memories pieced back together one piece at a time
he's always misinterpreted because people only consume the other parts of the compilation and not the main game

Party-Boy, Space-Slut, Kirk.

That is just not supported in the OG canon at all.

Come to that, the spacebattles, evul communist, Federation is just an alt-character interp of Star Trek in total, and I wish it'd go away too.

Kirk was a nerd who drank his respect-women-juice every morning with breakfast.

Dazai not being Dazai. Sure, he's a womanizer, have a grim attitude specially in Port Mafia and jokes about finding a way to kill himself with a woman next to him, but I don't see him being lovey-dovey with his rivals or not tease his friends.

Most versions, adaptions, and parodies of Alice from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

Irene Adler oh my god my kingdom for an adaptation that read past the words 'the woman' and knows how to write Irene Adler.

Oh I have a new one! I just came across it today!

Here it is: the idea that Karlach from BG3 is demisexual, and that anyone who thinks she isn't is engaging in ace erasure.

Gonna have to go with the old stand by of Ella Enchanted. They did a favorite childhood book dirty.

the weird desire to pretend dean winchester isn't a misogynist (both of them are fairly shitty about women, but sam tries not to be more; dean mellows out in later seasons but that doesn't make him a feminist people)

fandom's tendency to use Parker and Eliot's discussion in The Long Way Down Job to misinterpret Hardison. you don't have to use Parker and Eliot's self-loathing as a factual understanding of Hardison! Hardison was willing to bail on the kids in the Stork Job and it was only Parker to dragged him into helping them!

treating tywin like an effective leader and not merely a fascist one who brought him own demise. treating jaime like he's actually decided to be less of an ass, when he absolutely had not so far. jaime's actions toward brienne are entirely self-interested right now. treating sansa like it's fait acommpli she'll get cleverer. it's just as likely, like jaime after his disillusionment, she'll get worse!

Do you ever prefer a fandom version of a character?

[(Anonymous)]

The other question got me thinking about interpretations, and I realized I like Tony Stark in fandom a lot more than I like him in the MCU.

Re: Do you ever prefer a fandom version of a character?

I prefer the movie version of Ron Weasley. I would say the fan version, but those are equally split between himbo ditz version, and evil puppy raper version. I don't like the latter one.

I do like the evil Insaneway version of Janeway from Voyager. The campy Ming the Merciless in a Starfleet universe, Harry Kim torturing, planet conquering version of Janeway.

Captain Janeway, we, the hostile aliens of the week, accuse you of genocide!

Canon Janeway: Okay, this is a misunderstanding everyone to the meeting room to work out how to solve this.

Insaneway: You're gonna have to be more specific than that, are we talking this week or just in general? Bah, bored anyway, Tuvok, one torpedo, maximum yield, and write "Fuck you" on it so they get the message!

That Janeway.

To stick with the MCU, I like fandom Steve better than movie Steve just because they were so goddamned uneven with his character. His first movie starts off with him committing a felony, but then with the Avengers movie he becomes some 50s WASPy asshole with a stick in his ass about swearing, only to return to being the character in his own movie in CATWS where he can snark with Natasha after she kicks a dude of a roof. I started getting whiplash.

It's rare that I don't end up preferring fanon versions of characters after awhile.

I've always like the fan interpretation of Ryouga in Ranma One Half to being just in love with Ranma but so utterly repressed and emotion starved, that he has no way to express the emotions he feels but with violence.

I'm not a fan of the original version of Dracula's character (love the book though) but adore many fan adaptions of Dracula.

Gendo Ikari: Evil Bastard, or Pimp Daddy?

I like Pimp Daddy Gendo.

This was me throughout my Harry Potter phase - ESPECIALLY with Snape.
Fandom Snape just scratched the perfect itch back in the 2000s for goth kid me because the majority of the fics I was into were either writing him the dead opposite to his actual character or were under the influence of Anne Rice writing aesthetic (my absolute bread and butter back then).

For a LOT of femslash I'm into, fandom interpretation tends to be the reason behind how to make a couple work (from 'filling in the gaps' or expanding on the bare minimum that's given in canon). Even more so when I'm creating ideas/motivation/AUs/etc for these particular ships, because of how much thought I've put into the characters I start to feel a little more attached to them and favor the version I've created for them.

Also, a really specific example that comes to mind is Matt from Death Note. He's barely in the actual series with only a handful of lines - but being a friend of Mello and fandom taking the crumbs to go buck wild into the fanworks had lead to him being one of the most popular characters in the series (I might be misremembering, but I think there was a popularity poll done and he may have come up in the top ten).

I think Fanon Hawkeye is generally more interesting as long as he isn't just comic relief in a fic.

Re: Do you ever prefer a fandom version of a character?

I usually do not care for fanon interpretations. Also I am not into shows that "could do better" - either I like it or don't. And there is Dresden Files. This books are shit, Dresden sucks, but boy do I like fics and fanons
