TV/Movie Characters you hate

When the Sun Hits

Lily Aldrin in How I Met Your Mother.

Her shopping addiction meant that her and Marshall were thousands in debt, yet she has the cheek to complain about him having a high paying corporate job. She meddles in her friends relationships and has even sabotaged some of them. Such an annoying and passive aggressive person, so many things she did irritated me.

:mad:

A million times Carrie Bradshaw. What an annoying, self centered, dizzy, incompetent, self obsessed twat of a woman.

I wish giant, itchy, bleeding piles on her character.

You're watching it wrong. As Omar himself said 'I ain't never put my gun on nobody that wasn't in the game'.

Yes and no. I mean, the character was fine, it's just that the actor (Edward Furlong) was a complete and utter wanker (and perhaps still is? Jury's literally still out on that one). It came off him like steam, imo. How the hell did he even get the role. I will never understand it. You would think he would be the last young actor chosen to play a young John Connor. I watched it again a few weeks back in perpetration for seeing Genisys and his voice went threw me. Particularly the scene where he runs to the Jeep screaming for Arnie to come with him to save Sarah who had gone to kill Miles Dyson.

I don't think he was that bad in it (his whole life and career since on the other hand has been a disaster, save for a tiny handful of decent roles through the 90s), but a few parts do grate me. For one, I don't think the character (his dialogue particularly) is that well written - for all the complaining about modern movies, older ones were allowed get away with WAY more logical flaws and/or plot holes and were granted considerably more suspension of disbelief in terms of character motivations, etc. Some of his dialogue is so hammy and definitively 'start of the 90s' that it is almost like they just binge-watched a bunch of Bart-heavy Simpsons episodes; this in particular stuck out to me as incredibly cringe when re-watching a few years back. Like, uncomfortable-despite-watching-the-film-alone type of cringe.

John Connor: No, no, no, no. You gotta listen to the way people talk. You don't say "affirmative," or some **** like that. You say "no problemo." And if someone comes on to you with an attitude you say "eat me." And if you want to shine them on it's "hasta la vista, baby."
The Terminator: Hasta la vista, baby.
John Connor: Yeah but later, dickwad. And if someone gets upset you say, "chill out"! Or you can do combinations.

All we need is a "COWABUNGA! Don't have a cow man" before he hops on his moped and blazes into the distance, 'Do the Bart Man' blaring on his friends ghetto blaster.

Bit of Terminator trivia I stumbled on yesterday by the way... Bill Paxton is known to have played one of the 'biker goons' Arnie takes the clothes, boots and motorcycle, but one of the other ones was played by Brian Thompson, otherwise known as... The X-Files Bounty Hunter!! :eek:

The original was hammy too though, and very cheesy. Lot's of Reese's lines in particular, but actors which an audience has a connection with and who they can warm to, will be able to pull off such lines with ease. I think you can't underestimate how Edward's whiney voice and arrogant energy spoiled the dialogue and made lines grate which would not have done so had another more charismatic and likable actor played that part. All just my opinion of course.

Yeah I guess difference of opinion, a child actor is never going to fix up hammy dialogue as well as a good adult actor though.

Mind you, the effect still stand up very, very well almost a quarter century later! The liquid metal stuff especially, but even the iconic 'nuclear apocalypse' scene (has to be one of my favourite minute or so snippets of any film ever) looks pretty good considering what came before it and what came even after it in the pre-Independence Day era.

There are plenty of characters I don't care about or don't like, but hate's limited to a pretty small list. There are only a few characters whose appearances are enough to make me spend the rest of the show or film fervently hoping everything goes horribly wrong for them. Marlo Stanfield in The Wire was one, Carrie Bradshaw (for very different reasons) was another...but the undisputed boss of hateful characters originates in a book usually thought of as the weakest in the series, and was portrayed superbly in the film adaptations to the extent that the mere sight of her on screen made me clench my knuckles.

Dolores Umbridge.

Clockwork Owl

No mention of Corrine Mackey, Vic's wife in The Shield? Unbearable woman, and the grating voice didn't help.

Crazy Eyes from OITNB.

Martha from Doctor Ew- I mean Who. Ahem.

Came here to post that! It'd be one thing if she was just a really well written insufferable manipulative self-deluding cnut, but the show seems to think she's as adorable as she herself does! Someone over on reddit said of her and Alex "I feel like they've both put up their fair share of 'if you can't handle me at my worst' facebook statuses...', which is spot on

Eric Camden in 7th Heaven. He always gave me the creeps. It was just uncomfortable to watch him. Now I know why.

Agreed but really the whole show was heavy on the creep factor.
