#worst characters

Rules:

1. To make this interesting, I’m going to be picking characters that aren’t intended by the writers to be hated (annoying maybe, but not hated). So Villains aren’t going to be on this list since most are often supposed to be hated.

2. I will be covering Anime, manga, cartoons, and comics

3. Only content I’ve heard of (and at least somewhat have exposure to)

4. This is a VERY personal list. And If you happen to like a character I list. If it’s below the top 5, that’s fine. But if it’s above the top 5, please seek professional help.

10. Z from All Grown Up!

This is supposed to be a 10 year old kid. I kid you not.

When he was first introduced, I did figure it was the simple don’t judge a book by its cover story. And yea it was mid back then. But I remember watching more episodes and realizing. Z is actually really f***ing boring and the episode about not judging would have worked if they were all 14 or 15, but Z is 10! They are all 9 to 11 years old! This show was so dumb! What parent lets their kid dye their hair and get piercings at 10?! How would he even know what punk is?

I think my main problem with Z is really the fact that it shows how he doesn’t really fit in a story of 10 year olds. Which was one of the big problems with All grown up! As a show. And personally I hate being reminded of why it fails so much as I did enjoy it as a kid.

Though out of all the characters on this list. He at least isn’t a jerk.

The other reason was I am a Tommy and Kimi supporter so…. Yea. That too.

9. Ronaldo- Steven Universe

Now I know he’s supposed to be annoying. But that’s not my problem with him. His obsession with keeping beach city weird is fine. It’s the entitlement he has.

Not the conspiracy theories, it’s him trying to insert himself into it, trying to be the main character. And it’s always causing trouble for Steven. But I really think what does it is just how selfish he is about it. He never learns, starts to consider other people’s feelings. For Steven Universe, a show that gives pretty much everyone a redemption arc, Ronaldo basically goes “nah I’m good as is.” That’s what really grinds my gears about it.

8. Chloe Carmichael from Fairly Oddparents

Now I should stress that before her introduction. The show was already on a decline with the introduction of Poof, Foop, Sparky.

But Chloe, oh she was a different breed of ruining the show. She made it unwatchable. Like people often complain about Mary Sue characters. CHLOE is a 100% grade A Mary Sue.

She just shows up, gets partial custody of the fairies, everyone likes her, but she somehow a bit miserable so she gets to have faries? Chester is WAY more deserving.

But seriously everything around her seemed to bend to her will. And it was so bad I think they canceled the show midway through the season.

But the reason she is so low is because she was simply the last straw on the shows decline and not the root cause. And I hardly watched the season she was in to care enough.

7. Hiruzan Sarutobi - Naruto Shippuden

Now for those of you who watched only the first part of Naruto you are probably VERY confused on why this old man is on the list.

For those of you who have watched part 2. You know EXACTLY why he is on this list.

This man’s inability to stop ANY of the awful crap that resulted in the events of the story.

-He let the Uchiha extermination happen

-He let Danzo basically do whatever he wanted

-He didn’t stop Orochimaru who ended up attacking his village years later (and resulting in his death)

-Never told Naruto about his parents, and Litterally just gave the orphan money and dipped out.

-Didn’t stop the village from ostracizing Naruto

And the list goes on.

Like for some things, I get. The uchiha were planning a Coup and it could have gotten ugly but for f***s sake he could have done a better job in negotiations! Also why would he ever trust Danzo?

The rest is on him. Konohamaru is better off having Naruto as his mentor than that old bastard.

6. Chris Thorndike - Sonic X

I hate this f***ing kid so much.

Oh people complain that Amy is so focused on sonic. Nah man, this kid only ever thought about sonic. This kid even tried trapping Sonic in his world because he didn’t want to say goodbye.

“But he’s lonely without his parents.”

WTF you talking about. His parents see him pretty often despite their careers and both clearly love him. He also has a maid and butler that both watch over and care for him. Not to mention uncle Chuck that is watching over him. Plus he has a group of friends his own age (all of which are more interesting characters than him).

I can’t even begin to describe how much of a jerk he can be. I will say the only reason he isn’t higher is because Chris actually TRIES to be useful in the matarex arc.

5. Velma Dinkley - Velma

Or should I say Mindy kaling wearing Velma like a skin suit.

I hate when people turn beloved characters into self inserts and this entire show was this. Now I could go on about how they ruin Velma’s character. But this, this isn’t Velma. This isn’t even Scooby doo. It’s just using its name. And that’s all I can say. I’ve only watched enough clips to justify putting this on the list. This character and the show are both awful, so at least she isn’t ruining the show. And she does die, so at least there is some satisfaction. Which is why she is only this low on the list.

4. Jared Shapiro - Powerpuff girls 2016

I don’t care what the interviews say. No one can convince me this kid isn’t a self insert of one of the writers.

An out of nowhere love interest for the main character.

While not as bad as the case of Velma, this one is much more personal having grown up with the OG powerpuff girls. So this makes me want to gag.

He’s such a bland and weird character. It’s just so creepy. I can’t even begin to describe how creeped out this character makes me feel. It does not feel like him and blossom are the same age either. It just ain’t right.

___________________________________________

3. Caillou from Caillou

I happen to like kids. Kids are creative and fun little gremlins. But whenever I see Caillou, the visceral urge to punt this child is intense.

He is the WORST child character in all of fiction. If the show never existed I’m 100% sure the world would be a better place.

He is a brat that NEVER learns. He says he does but he doesn’t. He is always the exact same little turd he’s always been. The only redeeming quality about that show is that the theme can be remixed into a bop.

___________________________________________

2. Paul Jeremiah Rabin from Amazing Spider-man

This man is probably the most hated man in all of spider-man comics.

Zeb Wells really s*** the bed so hard when he created this guy. Making a character that basically kidnapped Mary Jane, gave her super powers, made her get into a relationship with him, and basically ruined Spider-Man’s personal life.

You want to know how bad you messed up when in the issues where spiderman was possessed by the green goblin’s evil and he wanted to kill Paul, PEOPLE WERE CHEERING.

I do not think exists a single person that Likes Paul as a character. It’s actually kind of amazing.

But he is only number 2, because the ultimate spider man run is helping us forget the TRAVESTY that is Paul.

1. Dave from Total Drama Pahkitew Island

He was the worst part of the worst season of total drama.

He started off as a whiny less then fun version of Noah and ended up as a clingy, psychotic toad that deserved to get ripped apart by bears.

Now with previous entrees I can kind of understand if there is someone that could like the character. Maybe…

But Dave?

If you actually like Dave and the person he became, we can not be friends. I would recommend a psych evaluation.

The boy is vindictive, controlling, condescending, and overall PATHETIC! And his label was Normal. The normal boy?! Nothing about that ‘Nice guy tm’ is normal. He was a piece of garbage.

Every action he takes is in his own self interest and I don’t see a SINGLE redeeming quality about him.

We are supposed to Want him to get together with Sky?

Him dating the Communal toilet would be a disservice to the toilet.

... cause why not. I’m in a bad mood and can’t sleep. These aren’t the worst characters in terms of niceness or sympathies, just how much I dislike them functionally as fictional characters. E.G. Lucifer and Metatron are obviously bad guys, but I like them as characters. 

 1. Gabriel - he was okay as the trickster/antagonist, but already a bit annoying then. I will never buy his weird redemption arch. I can’t ever forgive him for what he did to Sam, so I’ll never get Sabriel as a ship. He’s just not funny to me either. 

2. Abaddon - I’m not even sure if I can explain that one. I just find the character so annoying, not really scary and way over the top. I was so glad when she was gone. I did like Josie, so it’s not the actress. 

3. Arthur Ketch - ugh, what a parody of a character. I liked him with Mary, because it made him slightly more interesting, but in pretty much every scene in season 13, I just wished he would have died instead of Mick Davies. 

4. Charlie - I know, the blasphemy of it all. I liked some of her storylines. I liked her in relation to Dean and how quickly he took her on as quasi sister, but the geeky lesbian shtick always felt just like that to me, very unorganic and put on. I never fully bought her. I always suspected the main reason a lot more fans liked her than other female characters was because she was unthreatening both in her sexuality and her personality. It’s a shame, there were quite a few female characters killed way too soon. 

5. Samuel Campbell - all over the Place. There was a lot of potential for an interesting flawed character and it was squandered. He just gave off stereotypical antagonist vibes from the start.

6. Anael 

7. Donatello 

8. Amelia Richardson - she’s kind of so bad that she’s almost good again. I like her as a fever dream for Sam that makes no sense at all, but not as an actual character I’d ever buy. 

9. Kelly Kline - mhmm, a female character purely defined by her unborn child that will kill her. 

10. Tessa - a constipated look does not make a character 

Here are the rules:

1. This is based SOLELY on my view of the CANON Interpretation of the character. I am not doing anything based on Fanon Headcanons or Character fandoms. (If that were the case, Certain Characters would be MUCH higher.)

1.5: (I am not counting the comics I am going based SOLELY on what has been shown on the show)

2. Worst in the definition is the following criteria. A character I considers 1. Objectively bad, 2. Personally Bad, 3. Conceptually Bad. or a combination of the 3.

2.5. Something that is personally bad will not off worse for me then something Conceptually or Objectively bad. But the more a character hits these points. The Higher they will be.

3. They need to have to appear AT LEAST Once AND have dialogue in that appearance.

4. This list is MY OPINION, and nothing else. So if you don't like it or Agree, that is fine _______________________________________________________________________

But that’s illogical. The whole point of a red flags is that it stand out to the background, usually in nature, which is green, or the night, which is black. So labelling “dangerous/bad” characters as “black flags” makes no sense cause they would blend in again.

They should be neon flags.

Not to be a negative-Nancy on here, but I thought I should include a list of characters I don’t like. This is just about who is a literal killer or dirtbag, this is absolute pointlessness as well. Either way… yeah. It’s my opinion, deal with it. 😂✌️

Honorable mentions:

Alice. She just bothers the shit outta me…

Ethel. The cringe.

Hal. Duh. I just dislike the next few more haha

5. Fangs

I feel so strongly about this character. He’s the only one on this list that isn’t a villain, more just… utterly pointless with WAY too much screentime. A nothing burger character. Why he lasted so long on this show and was promoted to a regular is beyond me. Nothing about him stood out, he was never important to the plot, he was irrelevant and never had any character growth/arc. He and Toni were genuinely horrible parents in S6, I hate what that whole arc did to Toni especially. Tangs is widely regarded as one of the worst ships for a reason. To make matters worse, that was the only reason he was around. And the Tangs/baby Anthony story just made most people dislike him, if they didn’t already. Not ashamed to admit that my love of Choni plays a huge part in my opinion here.

But really, what an empty shell of a character and a complete waste of screentime ugh. 😣

4. Nick St. Clair

He wasn’t a main character, but MAN. What a fucking dirtbag. Archie & Toni both getting their physical and metaphorical hits in against him was gorgeous and stunning and perfection.

3. Penelope Blossom

ABUSIVE. ABUSIVE. ABUSIVE. VILLAINOUS NASTY HAG OF A WENCH.

2. Clifford Blossom

Literally shot his son in the fucking head???

1. Hiram Lodge

The “big bad” multiple times for a 🙌 reason 🙌

All A Gryffindor Can Do (ao3) - Ordered_Chaos T, 3k

Summary: Harry doesn’t want anyone reporting what Umbridge is doing to him in detention. But that doesn’t mean Hermione has to just sit by.

Blind Faith (fanfiction.net) - MozartsRequiem Bellatrix/Voldemort M, 121k

Summary: Her collarbone was sharp beneath his hand. He felt her breath rising and falling unevenly, perhaps in panic. In between her silent, wild gasps, Voldemort felt a heart shuddering somewhere. Perhaps she thought he meant to strangle her. Perhaps he should.

Broken Mind Fractured Soul (ao3) - Sensiblytainted M, 370k

Summary: [ COMPLETE ] Harry Potter watched his mother die when he was fifteen months old, a piece of Voldemort's soul invaded his own, Vernon abused him, Petunia tore him to shreds with her hateful words, and Lockhart molested him throughout Second-year. After all that trauma, is it any wonder Harry created multiple personalities to deal with it all? In Harry's third year, Severus Snape decides to do something about it. He gives Harry therapy in secret, and this opens Harry up to a friendship with Neville Longbottom, another victim of Lockhart's perversions, and Draco Malfoy who can understand Harry's Slytherin alter better than anyone else.
