Toaster Retribution he/him Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Let's do the opposite if the other thread (Favorite Non-Brandon Characters) and talk about the characters we do NOT like. I'll start: -The Lord of the Rings: Frodo, because I find him boring, and Wormtounge, because of how despicable he is. -ASoIaF: Cersei, defenitely. Joffrey too. And Dany. I can't stand Daenerys Targaryen. Also, Bran, for having the chapters you ALWAYS want to skip. -Star Wars: Luke and Leia. Again, they are pretty boring. I love Mark Hamill though, and The Last Jedi might change this. How about you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammanas Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Just off the top of my head Denna from the King Killer Chronicles. Just a complete drama queen that I just don't understand. I get that she's had a tough life, but everything she does just ends up vexing me. I read the first Twilight book, because I kept on hearing about it from every female I run into, and found Bella just so annoying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryshadium90 Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Mrs. Coulter from His Dark Materials (Golden Compass series). She was all over the place on all sides which really annoyed me. You'd think she was bad, but then she was good so you thought she was good and then she was bad and.... Yeah. Gave me a serious headache. Haha, I used to get really annoyed by Lucy from Charlie Brown just because she always seemed to be so mean. But she's part of the Peanuts gang, so what can you do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbird she/her Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 I tried to read the 5th Wave series by Rick Yancey, but the female lead (Cassie was her name, I think) was so irritating I couldn't stand to finish the trilogy. So wishy-washy and indecisive, and she was a real chull to her "friends." I stopped caring about the story because she was the center of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelEy3 he/him Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Denna from Kingkiller Chronicles reminded me too much of a real life experience with a girl from high school. I had real troubles continuing at some points of the story, and she absolutely infuriated me throughout both books. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkum he/him Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 I'll third the anti-Denna camp. I have never understood why she is supposed to be so great. for a different series, I fnd Rand from Wheel of Time to be wholly intolerable. it starts around the 3rd book, but really escalates a bit later on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbird she/her Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 @Prism Believe me, you're not alone in hating Umbridge. Literally everyone who has seen or read Harry Potter hates her with a fiery passion, including me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralHZRD he/him Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Does it have to be from a book? If not then my least favorite character of all time must be Carth Onasi from "Kights of the Old Republic" (also know as KOTOR, a old starwars video game.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farnsworth Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Nynaeve, Elayne, Faile. They are all basically the same character anyways.

That always works! this was more the "Sea rushing in over winterfell's walls", referring to the coming ironborn, and he says something along the lines of "but the sea is far from here, so that can't happen" I don't feel like looking up the exact quotes, but it bothered me so much because prophecy is 100% always metaphorical. that goes back at least as far as the book of Genesis, where Joeseph interprets the Pharaoh's dreams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattig89ch he/him Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Prim from the Earth Strike series. He had the worst character arc I've ever seen. It was so bad, I couldn't even finish the first book. In truth, his arc was the reason I made it as far as I did. But he realization and turn around made me put it down, and walk away from the series entirely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure I liked any of the female characters from Wheel of Time other than Morraine and Aviendha. Oh and maybe Min. I don't know that much about Robert Jordan, about who he was as a person. So I could never decide if he was a full on feminist, or if he totally anti-feminist with how unlikable some of those characters were to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did like Egwene, but only towards the end of the series. early on I couldn;t stand her. The Aiel wise ones and Cadsuane were also generally competent and thus a lot more tolerable than most of the women. Oh, and Verin was pretty good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
