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.

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.

Are there any that stand out as something you actually like?

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

SECONDED

Well, Irene Adler wasn't even a character in the original story about her...

???

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.

I've seen plenty of wankers argue that Astarion is asexual but that's a first for Karlach. Sigh.

The idea of Astarion being asexual at least makes a little bit of sense. Karlach being ace is just out of left field, though.

Does it though upon completing his romanced route, both Spawn or Ascended? The conclusions of either route seem to often get glossed over in the fandom as far as Astarion's feelings on the matter of sex are concerned.

uh. the horniest vamp to horndog his way through all of the companions? THAT Astarion?

I hate the "Astarion is asexual" interpretation because it once again mixes up being traumatized due to (in his case centuries worth of) sexual abuse and having a skewed view of sex and attraction with being asexual and can we stop with that please. That's like saying a gay man who went through "conversion therapy" was never gay and is now straight.

Except you can be ace to begin with and also go through sexual trauma. And then get asked for the rest of your life if you're sure you're really ace and it's not just the trauma speaking.

I mean sure, I guess. But considering "there's something wrong with you/you must be damaged in some way" is a real popular thing people keep saying to asexuals id rather not have the whole "this character with sexual trauma is asexuel" all the damn time in media. Again, that's like only writing gay characters who "turned gay" after getting raped be a man.

Wut.

Literally everyone in that camp is outrageously horny for your Tav and I love it.

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

for sure

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!
