heh, her character does make a tad more sense in the book, but yeah, she tends to be too much of a helpless victim for my taste

and that fairie from Johnathan Strange and Mr Norrell... so evil

the guy from American Psycho for his sucky taste in music

Really? I love Merlin, his lack of ambition and direction is really refreshing in the amber series.

Oh yeah, and Jerry. I fucking hate that mouse. I'd like to see him starve to death in one of those glue-traps some day. I'd like to see him go up against anthrax cat.

Gwenwyfar from Zimmer-Bradley's Mists of Avalon. I could have ripped her open and eaten her heart.

There aren't very many fictional characters that bother me enough to actually hate them, when there are so many truly loathsome real people.

I'd have to say that The Beasts from Knee-Deep in Thunder were the first characters I well and truly loathed.

Peggy from King of the Hill. i know she's intended to be preposterous and annoying, but i just can't seem to find it funny. that character makes me not want to watch the show, despite how good the rest of it is. i wish she'd died when she fell out of that plane.

Or that she'd get accidentally deported once and for all to Meh-hee-ko. I second this one. She's SO mean, especially to poor lil Bobby.

I really can't stand most of the wispy "carry my heavy stuff for me, whilst I bat my eyelashes at you" female characters in books.

#1 on that list are the Sweet Valley twins. If I had to read about their perfect blonde hair and perfect size six bodies and how smart or fun they were, I might have impaled myself on a stick. P.S. It is largely because of them that my aversion to California is so strong. That's all I can think of, as the perfect stereotype.

Maleficient from Sleeping Beauty sprang immediately to mind...I'm drawing a blank on anyone else.

every single supporting character from DBC Pierre's 'Vernon God Little'. Gross, repulsive, shallow, disgusting American grotesques, dripping with barbacque sauce and Middle American idiocy.

'might be why it won the Booker Prize

Yeah, I got to the fifth book in that series, but it just got so bad that I couldn't take it any more. He defeated the evil empire with his rugged individualism! WTF?

Also, I always thought that Shirlock Holmes was a bit of a jerk. I realize that he was smarter than anyone else in London, but I felt he held it over Dr. Watson a bit. So I never warmed up to him as a character.

Oh, man, but she was one of the best villains of animated history!

Well, I know my dad's is Uriah Heep from Charles Dickens. Driving a man to being an alcoholic so you can steal his business and marry his daughter is pretty scummy.

But for me, nothing beats Iago, from Othello. I mean, here's a man and woman, really in love, newly married after overcoming all these difficulties, and you twist the husband into killing his wife and friends? I mean...gah. Yeah, that one takes the cake for me.

Anita Blake. I was okay with her for the first two books, put up with her for a few more, and by the time I got to Obsidian Butterfly, really wanted to cut her throat myself. But I liked Edward very much, so I read that one.

I don't expect to ever pick up another one of that woman's books for as long as I live.

Inspector Javert from Les Miserables. But then again, I felt sooooo sad when he died.

every single character in "A Confederacy Of Dunces". not one of them has a single redeeming quality at all! they annoy the living breathing hell outta me. and yet it remains one of my favorite books.... in no small part due to what a great job the author did of writing really annoying characters. go figure!

{Convulses!}

I don't usually hate books or characters but I still hate The Catcher in the Rye.

I didn't like any of the characters in The Great Gatsby. And I think I've gone on enough before about Enid from Ghost World.

You don't like Enid? *sigh* When we're finnally dating, we can drive down to St. Louis and look at you from behind our glasses and make sarcastic comments about your taste.
I don't like Rebecca, though. Or any of the other people in that movie. Except Seymour (or whatever the record collector's name is).
I love Enid. I want her, or a girl like her.

Lesseee... hated the various pimps and assholes in Lilya4Ever... but as i pointed out, i also think the main character is sexy, which somehow implicates me... evil movie

i cant staaaaaaand, Digimond!!!!!!
i know thier not a comic book character so to speak but their just soooooo damn annoying!!!!
the characters arnt suppose to be cute and talk to you and be your best friend!!!!!

manga has really let me down in that respect

hahahahahahhahaha
