Krillin bashing because he is paired with 18

zillalover wrote in hated_character Sep 24, 2012 21:07

Hello, I'm new to this community. I thought group of people here was cool so I thought why not? Well I'll be honest I am kind of surprised Dragon Ball Z characters are not talked about often here being that DBZ fandom is known to be quite full of bashing. Here I will put up a defense for my personal favorite character Krillin aka Kuririn. I have ( Read more... )

Summer from 500 Days of Summer

The Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope became popular, overdone and finally named by Nathan Rabin in MYOF. I have to admit that I actually liked Garden State when I first saw it but the abundance of MPDG characters has rendered Natalie Portman's version egregiously awful. There are now MPDG deconstructions such as Charlize Theron on Arrested Development ( Read more... )

Polonius

marlowe1 wrote in hated_character Sep 07, 2012 12:14

As written, Polonius is the annoying character in Hamlet. He's foolish and never gets it. He works more as a foil for Hamlet than an actual human being. By the time he gets stabbed to death for sticking his nose in where it doesn't belong, he's already thrown his mentally fragile daughter at a prince that he's warned her away from and spent most of ( Read more... )

The "Bland Asian" pt. 2 - Elementary

marlowe1 wrote in hated_character Sep 07, 2012 11:22

One of the most egregiously fanboy examples is the crying and gnashing of teeth when a show is remade and one of the characters is recast as a woman. Battlestar Galactica had to fight for viewers after the mass calling of OMG you made Starbuck a woman! And "BOOMER too?" And "Cylons are NOT hot blondes!" from the promos alone. And this was ignoring ( Read more... )

And oddity in hating characters

I find it fascinating that people hate characters for what they do as if they are real people. I was thinking specifically of Gwen from Torchwood. I mentioned that I hated her as a character because she was written one way (cop) and she was written as a Mary Sue who can't seem to stop remorseless killers from running on her knife or press the ( Read more... )

banhammer, degenerated to wank, torchwood, female= mary sue, gwen cooper, there is no plot only characters, *fishslapped*

Meadow and AJ on the Sopranos

marlowe1 wrote in hated_character Sep 06, 2012 23:24

I'm rewatching the Sopranos from the beginning and I noticed that in the end of episode 6.1, they based a rare episode around AJ and his stumbling toward a maturity by dating a Dominican woman with a kid and even giving up his bike to make her life easier. What made the episode stand out for me was the fact that "Meadow is away in California" and ( Read more... )

1. Further to the last post about Draco in Leather Pants, what's the worst / most annoying thing you've been called for liking a certain character? I found a post on Narutoforums today calling Sakura fans 'battered wives', and we've also been called 'apologists'. And Hinata fans are apparently all perverts who fap over her tits and/or fat lonely ( Read more... )

The tendency for fanbrats to write off all defenses of villains (and I mean defenses as in though-out arguements that they're not the worst thing ever, or taking issue with them being condemned for things they didn't actually do and other unjustified bashing, not just crying about them being held responsible for genuine misdeeds or trying to make ( Read more... )

On Pema and the "Homewrecker" Accusation

One of my favorite characters from the new Legend of Korra series is Pema. She has a sweet, warm personality, she is incredibly hospitable to Korra despite having three kids to take care of and a baby on the way when the show begins, and her relationship with Tenzin is adorable. Pema reminds me of characters like Jin or Song from ( Read more... )
