Are there any characters you disliked so much they made it impossible or close to impossible to enjoy whatever fandom they were in?

Tony Stark/Dr. House/Sherlock's Sherlock - at some point the "Super Smart Asshole Who's Always Right" stopped being fun and started filling me with hate. Can't even reread some of the fics I used to love.

But usually if I dislike a character so much I just don't like the thing and thus don't even think about it.

That is also a character trope I hate. They don't always ruin a thing for me. But jerks and anti-heroes are usually not among my favorite characters. I did like House, though, at least the first few seasons. For some reason he's the only one of that character type that has worked for me.

I don't even mind anti-heroes! It's just the meanness with no comeuppance. The complete lack of growth. That the character should *clearly* have an arc of being less of a douche but never does!

I'd take 10 Punisher stories over one with Tony Stark because everyone* knows that the Punisher is messed up and also he'll never defeat the concept of organized crime and also he can be pleasant enough to other characters.

*Except "those" people, sadly.

MCU Tony, real 616 Tony has had plenty of introspection and isn't always unlikable.

But also! Different strokes for different folks. Viewing this characters as a kind of wish fulfillment is cool. I guess I just relate more to the person getting dunked on.

Agreed about MCU Tony. I liked him okay in his movies because he did have somewhat of an arc there. But then he'd go to the multi-character movies and lose the growth and somehow be treated like he could do no wrong and was better than everyone else. Everyone hero worshiped him to a weird degree. I get that he was the first MCU main character, but in-universe it makes no sense.

I get you. I don't mind it so much if this type of character is a small part, or if they have significant growth. But the ones where they just rock on without ever changing, I strongly dislike. Also a lot of people tend to latch onto these as their favorite characters and obsess over them, which just makes me dislike them even more.

Shadow the Hedgehog. I liked him well enough during SA2, Heroes and his own game but for gods sake stop beating the fucking horse and let him die.

Watched The Untamed and have read MDZS(I wanted to see what was changed) and I absolutely cannot stand Wei Wuxian in any capacity, lol, so yeah this makes being anywhere near then fandom just a little impossible for me. But I was only into a few side ships for about 4 months before I got bored so it wasn’t that bad, I just mostly stuck to fic and didn’t try to chat to other fans.

When the main character of something is an asshole and we're only rooting for them because their enemies are worse, I'm probably not going to like the thing. Breaking Bad is a good example. the main character is terrible and there really isn't anyone to root for.

Sheppard and McKay ruined Stargate: Atlantis for me. They seem to be everyone's favorite, but for me they were both obnoxious man-children who somehow kept getting rewarded by the narrative.

this was one reason I could never stand watching Breaking Bad. So many people were pushing me to watch it, too and I always dug my heels in.
then again, I looooooooooove Boardwalk Empire and almost every character in that is a killer, some sort of crook or at least a huge liar....

I understand you about Sheppard and McKay. I liked them well enough, but I think the show focus too much on them, and I often felt like the writers wanted to live vicariously through them.

Dunno. You can root for WW to die and he does. Happy ending, fun all around.
I am absolutely serious, I had so much fun rooting against him

Negan on The Walking Dead. He made me stop watching the show and I held on forever.

I never watched the show because I don't do zombies, but I read that they somehow tried to make him have a redemption arc that didn't really work. I hate that. I like villains, I like redemption arcs, but when they don't work, it just ruins everything. With a character who did as much truly awful as he seems to have, a redemption arc is difficult and and takes a whole lot of work that they clearly didn't put into it.

Lucifer's daughter Roxy. Way to ruin a childfree character with a 2edgy4u girl.

I just find him annoying and boring in the movies but gods above and below do I hate him in fandom.

I actually really enjoyed the character in the first few movies but it got old pretty fast after a while. By the time of the TV series I was completely done with him (actually way before that but the series was the nail in the coffin). And his fandom certainly didn't help.

Yor's brother is making me procrastinate on continuing Spy x Family. Yor herself pushes it sometimes too, but I think it's the fanon version of her coloring my view of canon (she isn't a badass, fandom, she's a loser masquerading as a badass, just like her "husband." but fandom only notices man is a fake. Badasses are boring, losers are awesome.)

Captain Killian ~~Rape Joke~~ ~~fake Hook~~shitty bargain bin Jack Sparrow ripoff Jones.

Oh man yes.

Hadestown seems like something I can enjoy, but Orpheus is such a Dramatic Artist, I hate this type too much
