| 23 | * ''Series/TwentyFour'': |
| 24 | ** Kim Bauer, for being Jack's BrattyTeenageDaughter who frequently blames him for the problems in their relationship even when they aren't his fault, for being in [[TrappedByMountainLions irrelevant subplots]] that only [[{{Filler}} take time away from the main story]] and for [[DamselScrappy constantly needing to be rescued]]. However, these problems are all addressed in Season 7, which got her RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap. |
| 25 | ** Season 4: |
| 26 | *** Behrooz Araz due to his whiny personality and the fact that his subplot took up huge chunks of the season, yet ultimately went nowhere. Even the writers later coined the term "Behrooz'd" for when they abruptly wrote out a character who wasn't working and/or was proving unpopular with the viewers. |
| 27 | *** Habib Marwan; despite being second-only to Charles Logan in terms of on-screen appearances for a season's primary villain, he's written with zero depth and very little personality, has no backstory that might explain the completely absurd amounts of OffscreenVillainDarkMatter he has access to (other than an extremely vague HandWave that he's been planning the day's events for years) or why he has so many American allies, and his constant escapes are more down to dumb luck than anything that might make Marwan a worthy rival to Jack. As a result, he's widely considered a strong contender with Alan Wilson for the title of the show's most unpopular BigBad. |
| 28 | ** Season 5: |
| 29 | *** Kim's new boyfriend Dr. Barry Landes, for being a condescending jerk to Jack, having a creepy AgeGapRomance with Kim, not helped by the major ethical problems around them having met when he was Kim's therapist, and killing the popular Kim/Chase ship just by existing. |
| 30 | *** Although Miles Papazian was clearly intended to be a HateSink for being an ObstructiveBureaucrat and [[spoiler:betraying CTU to Logan]], many fans disliked that he ended up as a KarmaHoudini for these actions. |
| 31 | ** Season 6: |
| 32 | *** Wayne Palmer, who had been a very popular character in his earlier appearances. Some fans didn't like that he wasn't the shady, albeit caring AntiHero from Season 3 who was willing to bend a few rules and cross a few lines in order to get things done. Others felt that he suffered from BadassDecay when compared to Season 5, where he not only TookALevelInBadass and helped Jack on his quest to uncover the conspiracy, but also figured out that Evelyn Martin knew who the true BigBad was. [[http://www.24spoilers.com/2007/08/15/db-woodside-ign-interview/ Wayne's actor shared the same sentiments as the fans.]] |
| 33 | *** Sandra Palmer is by far the least popular member of her family for being a preachy SoapboxSadie. |
| 34 | *** Jack's entire family ended up being widely disliked for one reason or another. Jack's father Phillip was hated for being a bland villain with baffling motives and a phoned-in performance from Creator/JamesCromwell (who admitted he didn't get the character at all), his brother Graem was hated for the AssPull of his being revealed to be related to Jack after this wasn't even hinted at during his appearance in Season 5 (not to mention that he suffered significant VillainDecay from said appearance, where he was fairly well-liked for being TheChessmaster leader of the OmniscientCouncilOfVagueness), and his nephew Josh and sister-in-law Marilyn were most hated of all for being an even worse pair of [[DamselScrappy Damsel Scrappies]] than Kim. Marilyn was especially disliked for her and Jack's romance subplot that many found gross and unconvincing, not to mention her constant whining. |
| 35 | *** Rita Brady. She spent all of her screentime whining and bickering with Darren [=McCarthy=]. She ''almost'' got herself rescued when she decided to kill Darren and was about to free Morris, but then put the final nail in her coffin when she kidnapped Morris herself [[{{Greed}} all so she could have the money Fayed intended on giving to Darren]]. |
| 36 | ** Season 7: |
| 37 | *** Larry Moss, for being an ObstructiveBureaucrat on par with George Mason and Ryan Chappelle when the fans had long since grown sick of that kind of character. He did manage to win over many with his CharacterDevelopment later in the season. |
| 38 | *** Janis was what Chloe would have been if she hadn't received the necessary dose of CharacterDevelopment after Season 3, and a lot of her snarkiness came off as irritating rather than funny. Most fans were glad she wasn't back for the final season. |
| 39 | *** Sean and Erika are two of the show's most unpopular [[TheMole Moles]] for being a SmugSnake {{Jerkass}} and a bitchy complainer respectively, and for their affair subplot being given [[RomanticPlotTumor an unnecessary level of attention]]. |
| 40 | *** Olivia Taylor quickly earned herself a hatedom after mending bridges with her mother for more or less being an ungrateful brat only to quickly reveal her real colors as a complete ManipulativeBitch. Her Genre Blindness when dealing with the Jonas Hodges affair at the end of the season just cemented things. |
| 41 | *** Alan Wilson is easily the show's least popular BigBad. Within Season 7 itself, he was seen as a ReplacementScrappy to the very well-received Jonas Hodges, with his DullSurprise being compared unfavorably to Creator/JonVoight's EvilIsHammy performance. Then he was revealed to be the [[TheManBehindTheMan ultimate mastermind]] behind Day 5's events, which was both confusing, since the previous season had pretty definitively stated that Phillip Bauer was the mastermind, and underwhelming, because this revelation came out of nowhere and Wilson was widely seen as less interesting than the villains who were now being stated to be his pawns. Though the season ends with the implication that he would be a KarmaHoudini and return in the final season, his unpopularity meant that his storyline was abruptly dropped with only a few mentions of what happened to him, with WordOfGod confirming he eventually faced justice, and the more popular Logan instead [[HijackedByGanon returned to be the show's final villain]]. |
| 42 | ** Mark Boudreau from ''Live Another Day'' started off tolerable as the typical HeroAntagonist who in this case had some very good reasons to think Jack was up to no good. But then he ''continued'' working against Jack after the real situation became clear for a quite astoundingly petty reason (he assumed Jack's presence would send Audrey running back to him), and quickly became insufferable. |
| 43 | * ''Series/ThirdRockFromTheSun'': If Website/YouTube comments are anything to go by, Tommy's first girlfriend August is really, really hated by the fans. Basically, it's because she is shallow and manipulative while acting like she is ''so'' far above that kind of thing. This is played for HypocriticalHumor and ComedicSociopathy, but it still makes her TheObstructiveLoveInterest. |
| 44 | * ''Series/AllMyChildren'': Babe Carey Chandler. She started as the slutty gold digger playing two brothers, then the writers decided to make her a heroine, without actually changing her in any way. One of the worst things was when she knowingly kept Miranda, Bianca's daughter, away from her, letting everybody believe Miranda was dead. Oh, but she wasn't totally heartless, she let Bianca be Miranda's godmother! And she told Bianca at least once that Bianca was lucky to not be a mother because she had all this time for herself, while Bianca was grieving her daughter's death. And then, after Bianca got her daughter back, not thanks to Babe, and gave her a very deserving slap, the writers actual had Bianca say that everything Babe did was out of love, for others, with total sincerity... Yeah. |
| 45 | * ''Series/TheAmazingRace'': In-series example in season 20. At one point, there were 5 teams left. Three of the other four teams hate Brendon & Rachel, and the other one (Bopper & Mark) seems to be apathetic. It mostly seems to be directed at Rachel, who alternates between being [[AlphaBitch snide and hostile]] towards the other teams and crying over every little inconvenience (and playing the victim if another team is involved), and manages to switch between the two modes more frequently than [[VideoGame/SuperPrincessPeach Peach]] on PMS with manic depression. (Even Phil Keoghan himself tweeted "[[https://twitter.com/#!/PhilKeoghan/status/194220979239657473 It just wouldn’t feel right if Rachel didn’t throw a fit]]".) |
| 46 | * ''Series/AmericanHousewife:'' Lonnie, a dumbass [=YouTube=] star that Greg is forced to partner with due to a massive ContrivedCoincidence. He comes off as a parody of what people think [=YouTube=] stars act like, and his entire character is pretty much playing stupid pranks and nicknaming Greg "Professor Badonkadonk." The few attempts the show makes to make it seem like he's helpful seem either forced or [[AssPull Ass Pulls]]. Fortunately, the most recent season had him appear only in the premiere, severing his connection to Greg, and he hasn't appeared since and no one cares. |
| 47 | * ''Series/{{Angel}}'': |
| 48 | ** Connor, during the fourth season. Apart from actually behaving remarkably like Scrappy-Doo in battle, Connor was generally despised by fans for making Angel unhappy ([[{{Wangst}} moreso]]), blaming Angel for being pure evil yet doing [[{{Hypocrite}} several terrible things himself]] (and still [[NeverMyFault blaming Angel]] for that rather than take any responsibility himself) and for kind of being the show's Chachi. Connor was not universally hated, though, his popularity has increased significantly since the much-welcomed attitude adjustment in his few season 5 appearances (where [[FalseMemories his backstory was changed]]), The publication of the Joss-blessed "Angel: After the Fall" comic, in which he [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap straightens up a lot]] just builds off it. |
| 49 | ** [[SmugSnake Eve]], who was a [[ReplacementScrappy poor replacement]] for [[MagnificentBitch Lilah.]] To the producers credit, they realized this and promptly had several TakeThatScrappy moments inserted. |
| 50 | * ''Series/AreYouBeingServed'': Any replacement for Mr. Grainger, fan opinions differ as to exactly when the replacement characters became intolerable. Few would argue that the wooden and taciturn Mr. Grossman was anything but horrible. There's no question over Old Mr. Grace, though. |
| 51 | * ''Series/{{Arrow}}'': |
| 52 | ** Early seasons had Thea and Laurel, who were both [[DamselScrappy Damsel Scrappies]], {{Jerkass}}es, and in the case of Laurel was also responsible for the series' original RomanticPlotTumor. They both got RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap over the course of seasons three and four once they started [[TookALevelInBadass taking badass levels]] and had their negative traits ironed out with meaningful CharacterDevelopment inserted in. |
| 53 | ** The entirety of the [[ReplacementScrappy New Recruits]]. Despite the problems, Team Arrow had finally found a decent chemistry with one another, but by introducing not one, not two but five new whiny and stubborn recruits, the writers have essentially tried to reset the show instead of addressing the many notable flaws that permeated the previous seasons. The level of Scrappy varied between them. Rory [[EnsembleDarkhorse was never one.]] Rene started as one but some development [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap managed to push him out.]] Curtis started popular but gradually started to [[BaseBreakingCharacter slip in and out of Scrappy status.]] Evelyn, however, firmly cemented herself as this for her utterly non-sensical betrayal and for being a SmugSnake. Tina Boland aka "Dinah Drake" was [[CharacterShilling constantly shilled upon introduction]] and unlike the other four, is largely irrelevant to the show's arc. |
| 54 | ** Oliver's son, William Clayton. His introduction was slowly built up over two seasons and finally the writers finally decided to introduce him, they made him a PlotDevice to create unnecessary drama between Oliver and Felicity and as a distraction to keep Oliver from being the Green Arrow for a few episodes in Season 6. The writers made it clear that he will not take up his father's mantle, that honor goes to his half sister, Mia Queen-Smoak. [[spoiler:However, Adult!William appears way [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap less scrappy and more built-up]] in the Season 7 flashforwards.]] |
| 55 | [[/folder]] |
| 56 | |
| 57 | [[folder:B-C]] |
| 58 | * ''Series/BabylonFive'': Introduced in the 5th season, which many fans consider to be [[AudienceAlienatingEra inferior to the other four]], Byron is a Fabio-haired rogue telepath [[spoiler: and former Psi-Cop]] who dreams of founding a colony of telepaths. He's broody, introspective, a devout pacifist to the point of looking Christ-like, and managed to rub the fans in entirely the wrong way. He and his telepaths are just plain creepy, the way they dress like Creator/AnneRice characters and never speak (one character {{lampshade|Hanging}}s this by saying they look like a flock of crows). Most fans prefer to pretend that his brief character arc never occurred. Fortunately, [[spoiler:his messianic fiery death]] cheered up viewers immensely. |
| 59 | * ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003'': While every other character on this series can qualify for BaseBreakingCharacter status to some extent, Cally Henderson is easily the most universally disliked of the main recurring characters for her whiny, judgmental attitude, killing [[spoiler:Boomer's original body]] and never facing any real consequences for it (though this was at least somewhat acknowledged in-universe), and often treating her husband Galen poorly. The fact that Cally's actress, Nicki Clyne, later turned out to be a high-ranking member of the notorious NXIVM cult has only caused fan feeling towards the character to grow exponentially worse in the years since the show went off the air. |
| 60 | * ''Series/{{Beetleborgs}}'': Little Ghoul is abrasive and troublesome, but for some, the episode "Who's That Ghoul" really pushes her into Scrappy territory. She has done nothing for the protagonists but gotten them chased by the house monsters, but when a bounty hunter comes looking for her -- for a crime she definitely committed -- Flabber and the Borgs go to great lengths to defend her. |
| 61 | * ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'': Priya Koothrapali, Raj's sister, is hated by most fans. This was due to her [[DieForOurShip dating Leonard]] and starting to [[TheUnfairSex treat him horribly]] (she was mean and bossed him around, and when they were in a long distance relationship, she cheated on him). |
| 62 | * ''Series/BigWolfOnCampus'': |
| 63 | ** Stacy Hansen is hated by several fans simply for being a DamselInDistress for hero Tommy Dawkins to save [[OncePerEpisode at least once a week]]. It also doesn't help that she's essentially the Lois Lane of the series and that the ONLY time she ever finds out he's a werewolf ended up being annoyingly [[StatusQuoIsGod reset via time travel so that she ended up never finding out Tommy's secret anyway.]] |
| 64 | ** On the other side of the coin, there are fans who hate [[BadassNormal Lori Baxter]] for [[DieForOurShip stealing Tommy from Stacy]] ([[PutOnABus despite the fact that Stacy had left for college at the end of the first season and NEVER returned]]) and for being an unnecessary third-wheel in Tommy and Merton's monster-fighting duo. |
| 65 | ** Becky, Merton's younger sister, also gathers quite a bit of ire from the fandom mostly for being a bratty teenage girl who contributes little more to the plot than to insult her brother at every opportunity. It also doesn't help that she's a stuck-up JerkAss to everyone, even her own friends, and that she doesn't get much (if anything) in terms of CharacterDevelopment. |
| 66 | * ''Series/TheBoldAndTheBeautiful'': Liam Spencer, despite being a selfish, spoiled, self-righteous, two timing BitchInSheepsClothing ManChild, everyone on the show can never stop [[CharacterShilling singing his praises]] on "What a nice guy..." he is. |
| 67 | * ''Series/{{Bones}}'': |
| 68 | ** Brennan's graduate assistant Daisy Wick. A rare example of a Scrappy that even other characters on the show don't like. Loud, clumsy, prone to spouting UsefulNotes/NewAge nonsense, and fond of sex in public places. Motherhood mellowed her somewhat, thank God. She also made a surprisingly sympathetic widow. |
| 69 | ** Dr. Sweets. Which made it all the more infuriating when the [[PairTheSpares spares were paired]]... Dr Sweets was disliked because he replaced [[spoiler: Zach]], but after some character development, specifically giving him the backstory [[spoiler:of being a foster kid whose real father used to whip him]], he is seen by some as more of TheWoobie. Dr. Sweets is a bit hard to like when the writers use his spectacular lack of professional ethics (he's constantly manipulating his patients to achieve his desired outcome for their personal lives to fulfill his own emotional needs) as the main mechanism for keeping Booth and Brennan apart. Bizarrely, it just makes everybody love him more, and Dr. Gordon Gordon, himself an FBI psychiatrist, actually suggests to Booth and Brennan that Sweets' emotional instability is a reason for them to keep the kid around. Although given the explosion of outrage that happened when [[spoiler: Sweets is killed off at beginning of Season 10]], it's safe to say that Sweets was RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap. |
| 70 | ** Hannah Burley, Booth's girlfriend that he brought back from Afghanistan. For obvious reasons, she's quite possibly the most hated character ever created on the show. |
| 71 | ** Agent Sullivan. So much so that after he sailed off on his boat, fans kept coming up with cruel and painful deaths for him. In that case, it was totally a shipper thing; they were Booth/Brennan shippers who saw him as getting in the way. |
| 72 | ** Christopher Pelant, for being capable of ludicrous feats of HollywoodHacking. The KarmaHoudini routine wore very, ''very'' thin with the fans. Even worse, he started to show CreatorsPet symptoms at one point. So when he was finally done in by Booth, there was much rejoicing, needless to say. |
| 73 | * ''Series/TheBradyBunch'': CousinOliver, trope namer for when a show inexplicably adds a young character to the cast, often upsetting the dynamic. |
| 74 | * ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'': |
| 75 | ** Scrappy is not a strong enough word to describe the burning hatred fans have for Kennedy. First off, her personality was off-putting to a lot of viewers, with fans considering her bratty, egotistical, hypocritical, and selfish, as she lies to get Willow to date her (and hit on her in such an aggressive way that she came across looking like a predator), had no sensitivity or tact, helped cause [[spoiler:the suicide of one of the Potentials]] with her DrillSergeantNasty act, talked about nothing other than herself and being gay, and arrogantly questioned those with more experience than her. She also was a ReplacementScrappy as well, being introduced as a new LoveInterest for Willow after the much beloved [[spoiler:Tara]] suddenly died, and the relationship wasn't well-received either, as the two were practically polar opposites personality-wise in ''every'' conceivable way. In the Season 8 comics, the writers finally wised up and had Willow break up with her, though not without putting the heels to her character further, and even the motion comics adding lines to [[TakeThatScrappy make her look like an utter bitch]], as well as portraying [[TheFriendNobodyLikes the other characters generally disliking her too]]. She was actually voted the most annoying TV character of 2002-2003 in a couple of polls and was included on the list of most annoying TV characters ever by ''Entertainment Weekly'' and no matter what the writers tried with Kennedy, she may well be regarded as one of, if not ''the'' most hated TV character ever. [[https://www.buzzfeed.com/adambvary/buffyverse-characters-ranked-worst-to-best In this ranking of the major and recurring characters in the Buffyverse]], she comes ''dead last''. That's right, [[JerksAreWorseThanVillains fans hated her more than the villains]] (she was ranked a place behind the Anointed One). However, despite her very committed hatedom, you don't have to look that far to find contemporary reviews and guide books and even [[https://www.tor.com/2014/01/27/buffy-the-vampire-slayer-rewatch-conversations-with-live-people-mostly/ retrospectives]] that say positive or at least sympathetic things about the character. |
| 76 | ** Riley receives a good deal of hate from the fanbase, whether they belong to the Buffy/Angel or Buffy/Spike camps. It's not too surprising: Riley was introduced during a season considered to be one of the show's [[SeasonalRot weakest]], [[SatelliteLoveInterest never had much of an identity established]] and was an integral part of the loathed Initiative. He also managed to enrage fans in Season 5, when he becomes insecure over Buffy's attraction to darkness and resents her for "not spending enough time with him" when Buffy had to look after her mother (who was suffering from a life-threatening, and ultimately fatal, brain aneurysm). When she gets upset about it he tries to blame Buffy for how he feels, and we're ''supposed to side with Riley''. That and the ridiculous amount of CharacterShilling he received from Xander in his last episode helps cement him as one of the most annoying Buffyverse characters. Doesn't help that his return in S6 could be seen as telling Buffy what she had missed (now he has a great marriage), despite him demanding her help while she's working at the Doublemeat Palace to support her sister and herself. |
| 77 | ** Dawn, thanks to her constant [[{{Wangst}} whining]] and ungrateful attitude, as well as how [[TheLoad useless]] and [[DamselScrappy even detrimental]] she is to the Scoobies. It doesn't help that Buffy sacrifices herself for her in the Season 5 finale, something quite a few fans felt was unearned on Dawn's behalf. She also has a [[BuffySpeak teenage-ry]] selfish attitude and often lacks empathy. She matures in the final season, so that by the end of the series, while still disliked by many, she has gained a certain level of respect from the fandom, becoming a full Scooby gang member, no longer relegated to just being rescued and giving Buffy unconditional love. Well, that, and the fact Kennedy turns up in that season, who is generally ''even more'' despised than Dawn, makes Dawn look much better in comparison. |
| 78 | ** ''Many'' find the Potentials in the final season as a whole pretty annoying, due to them either being bland cyphers who faded into the background or being insufferable. Plus, they take away precious screen-time from the characters that we actually care about and introducing this many characters in the final season means that they're not going to be explored properly. If Kennedy is the most loathed of the bunch, then Rona is a close second (and maybe even a first for some peopple, since Kennedy was at least occasionally useful while Rona was pure DamselScrappy) due to her ungrateful, bitchy attitude, generally being an asshole to everyone and being no fun to watch due to her constant complaining. It speaks volumes that ''Dawn'' tells her to shut up. The only Potentials that actually were likeable were Amanda and Violet. |
| 79 | * ''Series/CanadasWorstDriver'': Krystal from season 12 is unquestionably the most universally disliked contestant on the show, period. Her self-centered arrogance, whiny demeanor and stubborn entitlement would be grating if she was, for example, a customer at a retail store. But in the context of the show itself, she's an outright ''danger'' to be around. One of her most infamous moments was throwing a massive temper tantrum and storming off in the middle of shooting...because her brother told her that she shouldn't ''text while driving''. After multiple instances where she acted like she was exempt from basic rules of the road and throwing {{Cluster F Bomb}}s at anyone who tried to tell her otherwise, the judges outright changed the rules for the "Worst Driver Trophy" for that season alone just so she wouldn't be rewarded for her behaviour. |
| 80 | * ''Series/{{Charmed|1998}}'': |
| 81 | ** An especially obvious example in its eighth and last season with Billie Jenkins, the main reason why the large majority of fans dislike the last season of the show. |
| 82 | ** Phoebe also was hated after her treatment with Cole. Many fans called post-Season Five Phoebe '[=PhoeMe=]' |
| 83 | ** Billie's sister Christy was this for a while, though she was somewhat RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap via AlasPoorScrappy. |
| 84 | ** Inspector Sheridan rapidly became this. Aside from her endangering the {{Masquerade}} and the sisters both, thus showing the problems with bringing law enforcement into the supernatural realm, her ArbitrarySkepticism and [[InspectorJavert fanatical pursuit of 'justice' because she believed the sisters were criminals and killers]] made less and less sense as the series went on. At least the FBI agent pursuing the sisters in the first season had a good excuse (he was a demon). Granted, Sheridan did get put in mortal danger (though it was her own fault) and get her memory wiped for a long time, but by the time she remembered everything and could be said to have a valid reason for disliking the sisters, she was so detestable it was bordering on LaserGuidedKarma when she walked in on [[BigBad Zankou]] and got herself vaporized. Self Disposing Scrappy? |
| 85 | * ''Series/ElChavoDelOcho'': |
| 86 | ** Doña Florinda, for being an arrogant and obnoxious woman that frequently punished Don Ramón unfairly to the point of giving him brutal beatings and mistreated the characters save for his spoiled son Quico and his {{Love Interest|s}} Professor Jirafales. |
| 87 | ** A case of ReplacementScrappy was Jaimito el Cartero, the SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute of Don Ramon, never very popular among fans as he was a very poor substitute for the very talented and loved Ramón Valdez. |
| 88 | ** And Chilindrina's breve replacement Malicha (Don Ramon's goddaughter), was so unpopular that [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome she disappears with no explanation]]. |
| 89 | * ''Series/CoronationStreet'': |
| 90 | ** Peter Barlow was this at one point, but was RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap. |
| 91 | ** Kevin Webster has been getting a hate campaign lately too, in the ''War of the Websters'' storyline, for his over the top [[JerkAss Jerkassery]], constantly getting away with said jerkassery, [[MilesGloriosus the fact that he only picks fights with harmless people]], or [[DesignatedHero characters who are several times more likable]], the fact that [[NeverMyFault he claims that his marriage breaking up is everyone's fault but his]], and trying to get Sally and the girls kicked out of their own home. |
| 92 | * ''Series/TheCosbyShow'': |
| 93 | ** [[CousinOliver Olivia]] was introduced in the 6th season, just so they could have a new "cute child" and she was a CreatorsPet and SpotlightStealingSquad, and she often acted as if she was much older than she was. |
| 94 | ** Cousin Pam, who was introduced in the 7th season, has many haters, as she too came in from nowhere to be a regular. |
| 95 | * ''Series/CriminalMinds'': |
| 96 | ** While the rotating cast can provide mixed feelings among the fandom, Ashley Seaver is undeniably the most hated main character in the entire show's history. She prompted a mixed reception in her debut episode (some liked her, some didn't, with a leaning toward the negative), but after her 3-episode arc was complete, the hatred solidified. When the news came out that Seaver would become a regular cast member, the fans were not happy. It didn't help matters that Seaver [[ReplacementScrappy was brought in place of TWO fan favorite characters]] that were [[ExecutiveMeddling supposedly let go because the show couldn't afford their salaries anymore]]. How much did the fanbase hate Seaver? During "Lauren" when Prentiss was forced between choosing Rossi or Seaver for Doyle's sniper to kill, the fans watching the episode wanted Prentiss to choose Seaver (which didn't happen). She was quickly PutOnABus with none of the fanfare usually granted to any other BAU member. |
| 97 | ** You'll be hard-pressed to find anyone who liked Linda Barnes in her brief tenure. A pale imitation of Erin Strauss at best, and a bewilderingly stupid and petty tyrant and worst. |
| 98 | * ''Series/{{CSI}}'': Langston was actually a fair character, but the writers overused him, making him the CreatorsPet. |
| 99 | * ''Series/{{CSINY}}'': |
| 100 | ** Many fans felt this way about Reed; an annoying, TooDumbToLive internet journalist who was the son of Mac's dead wife. And to play this character, they decided to hire an actor with one facial expression - that of bored petulance - and an acting range that went from A to not quite B. A collective cheer went up when he was kidnapped by the Cabbie Killer at the end of season 4. A collective groan went out when he was rescued the next episode. |
| 101 | ** Lindsay Monroe/Messer gets a lot of this treatment as well from a portion of the fandom. There's a big BaseBreakingCharacter element, but she gets a lot of hate for pairing up with Danny, altering his character too much and restricting his development as his own character. Unfortunately, it often extends to the actress and her abilities as well. |
| 102 | ** Mac's girlfriends, almost certainly ship-related. Peyton was extremely disliked, Aubrey didn't fare well, and now Christine was already starting to get disliked by a portion of the fans. Most likely, it's due to the three most popular Mac ships: Fans want him either to hook up with Jo, go off to New Orleans and marry Stella, or stay forever alone because Claire was his soulmate and no one can be like her. |
| 103 | [[/folder]] |
| 104 | |
| 105 | [[folder:D-F]] |
| 106 | * ''Series/Daredevil2015'': |
| 107 | ** For some viewers, Foggy Nelson started season 1 feeling like boring and pointless character who exists as a geek/nice guy trying to woo the hot girl in the office (Karen). [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap Fortunately, he underwent some character development]] once he found out Matt's secret in the worst way possible, and "Nelson v. Murdock" gave viewers a full episode adding depth to Foggy's character and his relationship with Matt. Most of the critics were won over. |
| 108 | ** Karen Page also has a habit of this. A number of people call her subplots boring filler and cite her reckless decisions in her relentless pursuit of justice against Wilson Fisk, particularly her indirect role in Ben Urich's death. Some of this hatred is also because she is the one who kills James Wesley, who is [[EnsembleDarkhorse considered one of the more popular characters]]. |
| 109 | * ''Series/DegrassiJuniorHigh'': Liz. Her list of crimes consist of, but not limited to: her body language and possessiveness of Spike when Spike is around men, her [[PerpetualFrowner inability to smile]] (save for a few occasions), her [[AnimalWrongsGroup flippant reaction to Caitlin's epilepsy because her medicine was tested on animals]], and the best for last, staging a hate campaign against Erica Farrell for having an abortion, writing attacks on her locker and telling her face-to-face: "You murdered a baby." Despite becoming a JerkassWoobie because of her sexual assault as a child, fans still aren't moved. |
| 110 | * ''Series/DegrassiTheNextGeneration'': |
| 111 | ** At first it was Emma, for being [[CreatorsPet the creators' favorite character]] and [[WriterOnBoard always putting her opinions in everything]] and nobody called her on it. In season 2, she was found as being not only harsh, but even quite selfish, practically begging for all her mother's attention when she was dating Mr. Simpson. In season 3, she meets another slight personality change, where she becomes less rude and more ridiculous, as though she looks for any reason there is to protest something. But her biggest, most hated change was in season 4. She not only dropped her protesting habit (thank god!), but completely lost touch of her moral gain, going against everything she originally disliked in previous seasons. She goes on a quest to become popular, which is against her actions in season 1. She bullies Rick, becomes his friend, then crashes his hopes of having a crush on her by telling him she only felt sorry for him, all of which completely goes against her character. She then gives Jay a blowjob, knowing he is going out with Alex, when just the previous season, she feuds with Manny for doing the same thing with Craig and Ashley. Later, she comes down with gonorrhea, and is so self-centered that she almost transmits it to another student, failing to do so only because the other student had learned of her STD. |
| 112 | ** In season 4, Craig became TheScrappy for SpotlightStealingSquad reasons, though this had been going on since he first came on the show. |
| 113 | ** In season 5, Peter, whose motto appears to be ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney. In the very first episode, a two-parter, he films drunk!Manny stripping (Yes, some said this was because she was a slut.) and when she won't date him because Emma wants to, he sends everyone this video. As season 6 rolls around, he gets Darcy to do this as well. And he puts pot in Sean's locker because Sean's interested in Emma. |
| 114 | ** Speaking of Darcy, Darcy! The fundamentalist Christian talk tended to turn people off and made people say "This isn't ''Series/SeventhHeaven''!"; and the Christian motif made Spinner seem less Spinner and more self-righteous. Other fans saw her and Spinner as TheFundamentalist. |
| 115 | ** Sean, but only in season 6. {{Fanon}} is that this Sean is straight out of the [[UnintentionalUncannyValley Uncanny Valley]], with the [[FanNickname Detractor Name]] "Seanborg" or "Seandroid". Bad enough that the DoubleStandard is in full force: Manny's a slut, but Sean helps Emma cheat on Peter and is being subversive and heroic. |
| 116 | ** Mia for quite a few reasons. She embodies all these tropes: CreatorsPet, SpotlightStealingSquad, and DieForOurShip. |
| 117 | ** Just write that you think Jenna is not so bad, or even goodness forbid that you like her and see what happens. |
| 118 | ** Leia was also despised by many for [[SatelliteCharacter being useless]]. Thankfully the writers finally [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome took the hint.]] Oddly enough, Blue was even more useless than Leia, but didn't garner such hate, thanks to being eye candy. |
| 119 | ** Imogen Moreno is shaping up to be this way for Season 11. Most of the hate coming from Eclare fan girls, the fact that she's been shoved down our throats before she was even introduced formally on the show, and just generally annoying. |
| 120 | ** KC, once he left Clare for [[AllGuysWantCheerleaders Jenna]] the writers [[TookALevelInDumbass seemed to forget he was ever in the school’s gifted program]], then when Jenna gets pregnant he abandons her, then they get back together but after Tyson is born he leaves her at home with the full burden of raising the baby while he has at least an emotional affair with Marisol (coincidentally this made Jenna [[TheWoobie more sympathetic]] [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap to some fans]]), then when Jenna realizes she can’t handle being a teen mom KC nearly sabotages Tyson’s adoption, not because he gives a crap about his son, but as a last ditch effort to stay with Jenna. |
| 121 | ** Marisol for [[DieForOurShip flirting with KC]], [[AlphaBitch betraying a personal secret of her best friend Katie, just because Katie was dating the boy Marisol liked]],[[EasilyForgiven and never faced much consequences for it]]. Then to humiliate Imogen and later Fiona, who both vow revenge yet [[KarmaHoudini conveniently forgive and forget in a very hard to read and easily unnoticed way]]. |
| 122 | ** Clare Edwards, for being self-righteous, and increasingly judgmental. |
| 123 | ** Derek Haig and Bruce the Moose were disliked because they were [[JerkAss bullies]] and [[JerkJock immature]], they brutally beat up Jane when she entered the boy's football team. People weren't said to see the back of either. |
| 124 | ** Very few fans of the show will admit to liking Tristan. This is due to a combination of factors, including his overly hammy CampGay personality, tendency to {{Wangst}} his way through storylines, and extreme ItsAllAboutMe mentality, the most infamous example being when he turned his back on Maya after she outed his relationship with Mr. Yates (a much older man and their ''teacher'' to boot, making it inappropriate no matter which angle you look at it from) to Simpson, and then refusing to admit he was wrong when another character confirms Yates was a sexual predator, instead still insisting that she betrayed him. It also didn't help that [[ProtagonistCenteredMorality he never seemed to suffer any lasting consequences for his actions]]. It says a lot that many viewers agree he only became tolerable after spending half a season ''in a coma''. |
| 125 | * ''Series/DesigningWomen'': The sixth season brought along Allison Sugarbaker and Carlene Dobber (played by Julia Duffy and Creator/JanHooks respectively) to fill the voids left by Suzanne Sugarbaker (Delta Burke) and Charlene Stillfield (Creator/JeanSmart). Among the two [[ReplacementScrappy replacements]], only Hooks was brought back for the following season. The fundamental problem with Allison right from the start was that she was written poorly as a [[CharacterDepth one-dimensional]] [[FishOutOfWater "outsider"]]. They already started her character off on the wrong note, by having her storm in being a complete [[{{Jerkass}} shrew]]. They introduced such a nasty character and in the process, made some of the [[ForcedIntoEvil existing characters nasty]] (especially [[Creator/AnniePotts Mary Jo]]), since they were always [[VolleyingInsults getting in the mud]] with Allison. Plus, the one-note joke about Allison and Anthony battling over Suzanne's house went on [[OverusedRunningGag far too long]]. It bordered on being racist. Whereas, Suzanne could also say and do terrible things she unlike Allison, had a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold sweetness and an innocence]] about her. To make matters worse, by this time, Dixie Carter's Julia had to be [[BlackAndWhiteMorality right about everything]], and Duffy's character was written simply to [[StrawCharacter show how superior]] Julia was. In reality, Julia Sugarbaker was getting [[InsufferableGenius insufferable]] and [[WriterOnBoard preachy]] and she needed a strongly written [[{{Foil}} foil]]. Ultimately, they also never [[DefrostingIceQueen softened]] Allison's character up a bit. And with all due respect to Julia Duffy, she was a very [[TheStoic low-key]] actress. She couldn't display a way [[LargeHam over-the-top]] persona very well. Dixie Carter, Jean Smart, Annie Potts, and Delta Burke all just seemed larger than life in contrast. The lower-key Duffy never really registered and as a result, it offset the dynamic of the show. Duffy was in essence, [[{{Expy}} again playing]] her [[RichBitch snobby]] character from ''Series/{{Newhart}}'' but without Stephanie's [[ControlFreak flakiness]]. |
| 126 | * ''Series/DesperateHousewives'': |
| 127 | ** Susan Mayer is the CreatorsPet, as Marc Cherry has confirmed she is his favourite character and it ''really'' shows. Susan is always in the middle of every major story plotline because of her constant sticking her nose in other people's business. She's also presented as kind-hearted and sweet when really she's very selfish and immature: she constantly brags to Edie about how Mike picked her over Edie, sabotages Julie's performance at the church just because she was jealous Edie was performing alongside her, ''constantly'' discusses her sex life with her teenaged daughter but then completely overreacts when Julie starts dating Zach, (all this is just from the first two seasons and she only gets worse), gets EasilyForgiven for doing awful things and her ridiculous clumsiness gets tedious after a while, especially as it's constantly used to further the plot. |
| 128 | ** Renee Perry (introduced in Season 6) [[ReplacementScrappy for Edie Britt]], who had been a main character from seasons 1-5. She was placed [[SpotlightStealingSquad at the front of all publicity materials]] but it was felt that her character was neither as well fleshed out nor as entertaining as Edie, being a much more one-dimensional RichBitch. |
| 129 | * ''Series/{{Dexter}}'': |
| 130 | ** [=LaGuerta=] is easily the most hated character in the main cast, and it's hard to find fans who actually like her. She has little to no redeeming qualities and only gets worse over the years, even losing her few likable traits from the early seasons. She manages to combine a willingness to [[ManipulativeBitch screw over her own colleagues]] for the sake of her career with an [[NeverMyFault absolute refusal to take responsibility for her own actions]], while not even being particularly competent at her job to [[BunnyEarsLawyer make up for it]]. Even if she's portrayed as a HeroAntagonist in her last season and Debra killing her is considered Debra's MoralEventHorizon, many see [=LaGuerta=]'s death as a TakeThatScrappy. |
| 131 | ** Hannah, due to Dexter inexplicably falling in love with her and his love being ''so strong'' for her that he contemplates quitting killing. It's not so evident in season 7, during which she was fairly popular, however she suffers from BadassDecay when she returns in season 8 and her hints of CreatorsPet are intensified considerably, making her this in a large portion of the fanbase. |
| 132 | * ''Series/DoctorWho'' has several. All of these characters have received a certain amount of RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap in ExpandedUniverse material: |
| 133 | ** Dodo Chaplet from Season 3 has a pretty poor standing among the fandom as she lacked any real personality other than being rather naive and dull. Her character lasted only four full stories before getting unceremoniously dropped from the show midway through her fifth in a throwaway line. |
| 134 | ** Adric was a failed attempt at the producers creating an audience surrogate for the prime fan base. Instead, he came off as [[ThisLoserIsYou a snotty, pompous, whining, arrogant and almost entirely unbearable maths geek]]. And despite being incredibly arrogant about his intelligence, he has a tendency to either screw up the Doctor's plans or, as in one notable case, gets suckered into helping the bad guy's EvilScheme, despite it being very transparently evil, thus making his reported intelligence something of an InformedAbility. His role in plots was also limited by the last-minute addition of Nyssa - another naive alien super-genius - to the TARDIS crew, causing severe CastSpeciation and TrappedByMountainLions problems that meant he never got enough in a story to do to redeem himself. He was played by an inexperienced and extremely wooden actor cast mostly because he looked really good on screen [[NobleMaleRoguishMale next]] [[SopranoAndGravel to]] Creator/TomBaker, and so when Baker left the role and was replaced by a less contrasting character in Creator/PeterDavison's Doctor, he had little else left. |
| 135 | ** The Sixth Doctor (at least his television incarnation) was found to be obnoxious, abrasive, and an empty attempt by the producers to make the show DarkerAndEdgier. ExpandedUniverse media have largely contributed to this character being RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap. |
| 136 | ** Peri has also got this. Some of that stems from her being an American, played by a British actress with [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent one of the worst American accents ever]]. Some of it stems from her being a desperate attempt at a HotterAndSexier MsFanservice companion to draw ratings, which, in addition to the sexism, demonstrated that the showrunners had no intention of fixing the underlying problems with the show that led to ratings dropping in the first place. Sometimes the fanservice even ended up upstaging otherwise good material, such as the famous time that [[MaleGaze the camera was more interested in her cleavage]] during a scene in which the Doctor was dying. This might have been forgiveable had Peri not also been a DamselScrappy who [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty continually got harassed or threatened with rape by villains]], which most viewers found [[FetishRetardant upsetting]] rather than titillating (and, being a sexless children's show, ''Doctor Who'' absolutely could not be honest enough with itself about what it was doing to handle RomanticizedAbuse well). RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap at the same time as the Sixth Doctor thanks to the superior ExpandedUniverse material actress Creator/NicolaBryant got to work with later. |
| 137 | ** Her successor Mel, as well, is not well liked. At a time when the show was being criticised by fans and laypeople alike by being too much like {{Panto|mime}}, Creator/JohnNathanTurner [[StuntCasting Stunt Cast]] Creator/BonnieLangford, whose difficult real-life personality made her a controversial figure amongst the British public, let alone with SFF geeks. Wearing ImpossiblyTackyClothes and possessing a grating high-pitched voice, she was considered by her own production team to have no potential and written as a ScreamingWoman, famously being asked to shriek at the same pitch as the 'Radiophonic scream' {{Cliffhanger}} sting. She was introduced in a nonsensical TimeyWimeyBall arc that was badly botched up due to production apathy. Viewers famously said in an audience appreciation report that they wished the monster had just eaten Mel, the series continuity advisor quit in protest over her casting, and the CreativeDifferences between the producer (who loved her) and the script editor (who didn't) flared up. Especially sad, since the idea of introducing a non-sexualised companion who enjoys time travel was [[RevisitingTheRoots going right back to basics]] and [[TooBleakStoppedCaring an attempt to fix some serious tone problems]] - her successor, Ace, would attempt the same thing and be a lot more successful at it. Yet another companion RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap thanks to the ExpandedUniverse. |
| 138 | ** '''Averted''' several times in the 2005 revival series. Both Mickey Smith and Rory Williams started out as "Scrappys in waiting" (boyfriends left behind while their girls went on adventures with the Doctor), but once both actually became full-fledged travelling companions they both managed to avert the trope. Nardole, a comic relief character introduced in "[[Recap/DoctorWho2015CSTheHusbandsOfRiverSong The Husbands of River Song]]" was very much seen as this initially, to the point where when it was announced that he was not only returning for the next Christmas special, "[[Recap/DoctorWho2016CSTheReturnOfDoctorMysterio The Return of Doctor Mysterio]]", but as a ''regular companion'' in Series 10, many fans groaned. But his personality was nicely rounded out in that season, and he had an excellent dynamic with both the Twelfth Doctor and Bill Potts; it helped that actor Creator/MattLucas became popular with fans who have recognized him as JustForFun/OneOfUs. |
| 139 | ** The New Paradigm Daleks from Series 5 became this thanks to their bright multi-colored designs. Cue the perception that they did not look threatening, multiple comparisons to skittles, ''Series/{{Teletubbies}}'' and ''Franchise/PowerRangers'', and accusations that they had been created just to start a new [[TheMerch collectible toyline]]. After this reception later series returned to the old design and, if the Paradigm design appeared at all, it would be as a background figure. (It has also been reported that their proportions made them an ergonomic nightmare for the operators, which also contributed to their sidelining.) |
| 140 | ** Angie and Artie Mitland, the kids Clara Oswald was a nanny to in Series 7B, became this after "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E12NightmareInSilver Nightmare in Silver]]", in which they were written as poor teenage stereotypes and played by horrible actors. Luckily they had only one more story afterward (the next) in which they barely appear; Clara got a Coal Hill School teaching position in "[[Recap/DoctorWho50thASTheDayOfTheDoctor The Day of the Doctor]]" and they were never spoken of again. |
| 141 | ** Third time wasn't the charm for "boyfriends left behind". Ex-soldier/maths teacher Danny Pink, Clara Oswald's love interest in Series 8, not only brought back bad memories of both Mickey and Rory's early tenures but became part of a RomanticPlotTumor that not only wasn't well-written but also performed so poorly that Clara and the Twelfth Doctor had significantly more romantic chemistry in the LoveTriangle that was established, even though that relationship was almost all subtext. And RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap was virtually ruled out by design -- he never became a companion and his and the Doctor's relationship hardly thawed by the end of Danny's one season, which ended with him [[spoiler: dying, becoming a Cyberman, and making a Heroic Sacrifice]]. Also, it became clear midway through Series 8 that showrunner Steven Moffat had in fact pivoted from plans to move the Doctor and Clara into JustFriends, resulting in Danny being swiftly downgraded to RomanticRunnerUp. |
| 142 | ** Cass, from "[[Recap/DoctorWho50thPrequelTheNightOfTheDoctor The Night of the Doctor]]", is loathed by a significant portion of the fanbase -- especially of the Eighth Doctor -- for having [[FlatCharacter precious little personality]] beyond her [[{{Jerkass}} nasty attitude]] and [[UnintentionallyUnsympathetic unintentional lack of sympathy]] for her hatred of Time Lords, and being directly responsible for the Eighth Doctor's death in [[TheFarmerAndTheViper a particularly cruel manner]]. She refuses to listen to the Eighth Doctor despite him trying to rescue her from her crashing spaceship -- despite it being clear as day that he's ''The Doctor'' instead of literally any other Time Lord -- and Eight refusing to leave without her. Cass takes full advantage of his willingness to stay and talk things out to ensure he dies with her in the crash, and outright calls said circumstances [[UngratefulBitch "The best news I've heard all day"]]. Given that Cass only appeared for about five minutes in one episode and perished before she got any chance at CharacterDevelopment beyond that, it can be said that the sole reason for her existence was so she could throw her own life away to send the Eighth Doctor through the DespairEventHorizon, get him killed, and set up his Regeneration into the War Doctor. |
| 143 | * ''Series/DowntonAbbey'': Lady Rose, in addition to being a rare adult CousinOliver, becomes a main character out of nowhere in Series 3. Rose is an upper crust flapper and often functions as a sexier and edgier Sybil, whom she replaced. Despite being given several storylines, she remains unpopular with fans and her romance with an African-American jazz musician had him wading into EthnicScrappy territory. |
| 144 | * ''Series/DrakeAndJosh'': [[BrattyHalfPint Megan]] is hated by many. She's a [[BlackAndGrayMorality villain in a show without any heroes]], so all her schemes target her two brothers, the titular Drake and [[ButtMonkey Josh]]. [[KarmaHoudini Megan never gets caught, never gets punished]], and there are quite a few examples of her benefiting from her schemes, just plain coming out on top in an episode she's barely in. The writers tried to balance this out by giving Drake and Josh a few KickTheDog moments towards her, making her schemes more DisproportionateRetribution than anything, but by then Drake and Josh's pranks were seen as [[PayEvilUntoEvil justified revenge]] for everything she had done to them so far. Luckily for Miranda Cosgrove who played Megan, her very next role after ''Drake & Josh'' was on the hit teen comedy ''Series/ICarly'' where she played the titular protagonist [[MoralityPet Carly]], a far more beloved (and ''nicer'') character, which proved it wasn't the actress' fault for Megan's low popularity but poor writing. |
| 145 | * ''Series/TheDukesOfHazzard'': |
| 146 | ** Coy and Vance Duke, introduced after Bo and Luke left Hazzard County (temporarily) to pursue NASCAR racing. This was the result of John Schneider and Tom Wopat walking out of the show due to a well-publicized contract dispute and – CBS not wanting to lose ratings and the producers refusing to negotiate – "substitute" Dukes (Byron Cherry and Christoper Mayer, playing Coy and Vance, respectively) being brought in. While the "new Dukes" certainly had a few fans, most viewers hated Coy and Vance and tuned out in droves, and when ratings went south, the producers were forced to concede to Schneider and Wopat's demands. When Bo and Luke returned, they shared one 10-minute scene with Coy and Vance before the latter Dukes were gone for good, never to be heard from again. |
| 147 | ** Earlier, James Best also walked off the set due to his own contract disputes, with his Rosco character being replaced by various Scrappys, most notably Grady Byrd (played by Dick Sergeant). Ben Jones was also absent for a few shows, too, for similar reasons, with "replacement" character B.B. Davenport having similar reception as Byrd. |
| 148 | * ''Series/{{Entourage}}'': |
| 149 | ** Ashley has only been in four episodes so far, and she's already this. Being crazy, [[StalkerWithACrush creepy]] and annoying will do that to you. |
| 150 | ** The character of Dom, introduced in the third season of Entourage, was intended to become a main cast member. But he was so hated by fans of the show that his character was quickly written out. |
| 151 | * ''Series/FakingIt'': |
| 152 | ** Liam, for obvious DieForOurShip reasons |
| 153 | ** Karma has been descending into this territory by a vocal part of the fanbase by season 2, as possible CharacterExaggeration went into overdrive and made her even more [[DramaQueen self-centered and melodramatic]] than before, and the 'rival' [[spoiler: shippers of Reagan and Amy]] have noticed she seems to be undermining their canon relationship solely cause she's no longer [[AttentionWhore the sole focal point of Amy's world]], despite Amy doing the opposite and supporting her own quite baggage-filled relationship with Liam. To counter, Karma supporters would argue that Amy's increasingly aloofness towards Karma since [[spoiler: getting together with Reagan]] explains the somewhat non-romantic clingy-ness she's showed towards Amy recently, and she did get more sympathy after [[spoiler: Amy and Liam's secret was revealed]]. |
| 154 | ** Reagan herself would get this in the second half of season 2, as she kept pressuring Amy into being a full-on lesbian [[spoiler:and then broke up with her when she wouldn't commit]], reinforcing some rather...bad stereotypes about how the LGBT community treats the Bs, especially bisexual women. |
| 155 | * ''Series/TheFlash2014'': |
| 156 | ** This show's version of the Rival, for being [[InNameOnly nothing like the version from the comics]], [[GenericDoomsdayVillain having no real personality outside of wanting to beat the Flash]], and his [[WTHCostumingDepartment ridiculous costume]], as a result of the show handing most of his more interesting traits, including his style of costume, [[CompositeCharacter over to]] Zoom. |
| 157 | ** The Top's {{Adaptational Superpower Change}}s were received very poorly, along with her pointless GenderFlip and [[FlatCharacter generic personality]]. There's also criticisms of Ashley Rickards' performance as feeling phoned in, with the actress reciting lines in a bored fashion a lot of the time. |
| 158 | ** Amunet has been received poorly for being a cheesy, underperforming villain that weakens the episodes she is in. This is not helped by Creator/KateeSackhoff's [[FakeBrit terrible attempt at a British accent.]] |
| 159 | ** Orlin Dwyer as Cicada is the most hated major villain so far, and not in a LoveToHate way. Fans despised him for how one-note and generic he was, possessing no EvilPlan aside from “stab every meta” unlike his predecessors who all made elaborate schemes, even though he had a sympathetic trait most of them lacked with his niece being in a coma (which makes him the most humanized BigBad since Savitar). What didn’t help is how he kept hitting Team Flash with TheWorfEffect so often that it made it seem like it's actually their incompetence that kept allowing him to get away. Chris Klein's failure to make Orlin terrifying made this villain even less credible, so much so that the show brought in [[spoiler:a future version of niece, now a LegacyCharacter, who killed him after he had a HeelFaceTurn, and had the plot [[HijackedByGanon hijacked by Reverse-Flash]], in order to bring more interesting villains into the main villain role]]. |
| 160 | * ''Series/{{Frasier}}'': |
| 161 | ** When Daphne's brother Simon and her mother Gertrude started appearing quite frequently, the terms 'annoying', 'obnoxious' and, most critically, 'not very funny' began to be heard applied to them very quickly. For some reason, [[CreatorsPet the writers insisted on keeping Gertrude long after Simon had gone.]] |
| 162 | ** Also, Lana's son Kirby was introduced as a young, everyman character and totally upset the show's character dynamic. He basically starts off as a LazyBum... and then for the most part just embodies the stereotypical "teen slob". |
| 163 | * ''Series/{{Friends}}'': |
| 164 | ** Many of the {{Romantic False Lead}}s on the show, but Emily and Paolo are easily the biggest ones. |
| 165 | ** Also Janine, Joey's temporary roommate/girlfriend from season 6. |
| 166 | ** Susan, the lesbian love of Ross' ex-wife Carol, receives a ''lot'' of hate for her cruel and cold attitude towards Ross. The fact that Carol and Susan slept together while Carol was still married to Ross didn't help. |
| 167 | ** Many feel that Janice became this after breaking up with Chandler in Season Three. |
| 168 | ** Also, Marcel. Ross's pet monkey in Season One. A character who was so hated that, in a S6 episode, [[LampshadeHanging Ross himself wonders what he was thinking by getting him.]] |
| 169 | ** Some fans actually disliked Richard... because they felt he was too much of a NiceGuy, in a meta case that he was boring. May be just a case of DieForOurShip for die-hard Mondler fans. |
| 170 | * ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'': |
| 171 | ** [[CousinOliver Nicky]], who was a complete annoying idiot, even for a kid. |
| 172 | ** [[TheOtherDarrin Aunt Vivian]], for being generally boring and unfunny compared to the other characters. This is especially true for the second Vivian played by Daphne Reid. |
| 173 | [[/folder]] |
| 174 | |
| 175 | [[folder:G-H]] |
| 176 | * ''Creator/GameShowNetwork'': The "Kidz Zone" block of the late 1990s and early 2000s, "hosted" by a CGI Spinner Ball and a live-action host (either kids and/or an actor playing a live-action version of the Ball); shows aired were usually ''[[Series/TheJokersWild Joker! Joker! Joker!]]'', child-parent episodes of ''[[Series/{{Pyramid}} The $20,000 Pyramid]]'', ''Juvenile Jury'', ''Quiz Kids Challenge'' and others. As was the case with a predecessor program, ''Faux Pause'' (a knockoff of ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000''), the show would be stopped at random times for the hosts to comment, usually after a "funny" or "[[FreezeFrameBonus didja notice]]" moment. While the idea was likely to attempt to engage the (intended) youth audience, viewers – more often than not adults who remembered the shows as coming from their youth – found these annoying and unfunny, and the idea was abandoned when GSN scrapped the Kidz Zone in 2002. The live-action Spinner Ball mascot also starred in bumper inserts, primarily to promote original programming and upcoming marathon blocks. Also seen as irritating (at best) to many viewers, mainly due to poor writing and execution, the character was eventually dropped by 2004. |
| 177 | * ''Series/GeneralHospital'': |
| 178 | ** Winnifred Leed was generally hated either by [[DieForOurShip Spixie fans for coming between Spinelli and Maxie]], or by others for being a CreatorsPet who was way too much like Spinelli. |
| 179 | ** Maya Ward wasn't popular either, due to being somewhat boring and flat. |
| 180 | ** [[DrJerk Dr Britt Westbourne]]. Most Scrub fans hate her for trying to replace Robin, and also hated because she is snotty, rude to [[TheIngenue Sabrina]], [two faced. After having had enough of her attitude, Elizabeth [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech told her off]] and told her [[TakeThatScrappy she was transparent]]. |
| 181 | ** [[TheGenericGuy Nathan]] [[PrettyBoy West]] has gathered some ire, much like Maya, has been seen as a [[ReplacementScrappy piss poor replacement]] for legendary character [[TroubledButCute Lucky Spencer]] as Dante's new partner. Worst still, the writers really think that after the [[SuperCouple popular pairing]] of [[GenkiGirl Maxie]] and Spinneli was beginning to gain some new steam, that pairing her with some generic pretty boy was what the viewers wanted. Even worst, the fact that Nathan began bullying Spinneli pushed many fans over the edge, and led a few to applaud, when the character was shot, non-fatally, in the chest. |
| 182 | * ''Series/GilmoreGirls'': |
| 183 | ** [[CousinOliver April]] is despised for being a SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute for Rory, and essentially a brainy know-it-all. The only reason she existed was to get on the nerves of Luke and depict how bad he is with children. |
| 184 | ** Olivia and Lucy were {{Main/Expy}}s for the earlier Madeline and Louise and few understood why the latter weren't just brought back for characters that seemed to be shoehorned in by executives of Creator/TheCW to catch in a few more teen viewers in the derided seventh season. |
| 185 | * ''Series/{{Glee}}'': |
| 186 | ** While many of the characters are pretty much love them or hate them, there are ''very'' few fans who like Will, and even most of those who do seem to agree with the general consensus that he is clueless, naive and generally a pretty [[ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything bad teacher,]] yet the characters (and by extension, the writers) often treat him [[CreatorsPet as if he can do no wrong.]] |
| 187 | ** Terri was this when she was on the show. Granted, she was intended by the writers as a jerk and villain, but more of the LoveToHate type. Instead, she was just hated all-around, and viewers seemed to like episodes more the less she was in them. Oddly after she left this reversed and she was quite well liked by the fandom. Possibly because Jessalyn Gilsig is actually a very good actress and it was sad to see her go. |
| 188 | * ''Series/GoodLuckCharlie'': In this Disney show, Amy Duncan gets this from a lot of people ([[IronicName which is ironic since her name means "beloved" in Latin]]) because she acts [[ItsAllAboutMe very selfish and egotistical]] ("What's the matter? Don't you want to be on TV with me... er, us?"). While the other characters are somewhat relatable and draw humor for their quirks, Amy's 'quirk' is being 'crazy' and 'wanting to be famous', but there's a little TOO much emphasis on the "crazy" part (way too many examples to list, but replacing her ''entire family'' (except Charlie) with ringers in "The Singin' Dancin' Duncans" just so she can perform is one of the stronger ones). |
| 189 | * ''Series/GossipGirl'': |
| 190 | ** Vanessa Abrams was/is thoroughly despised by a vast, and vocal, majority of the show's viewers. Although just as shallow, manipulative and self-serving as Blair Waldorf, she kept putting herself up on high horses, lecturing and mastering others, in addition to being the DistaffCounterpart to Dan and thus serving no real purpose on her own. The showrunners seemed to be quite aware of how unpopular she was - despite being credited as a main character Vanessa was missing from several episodes each season (including the season three finale), and hardly ever got any storylines of her own - and she was eventually PutOnABus in the season four finale (called, ironically for Vanessa haters, "The Wrong Goodbye"). |
| 191 | ** Dan Humphrey is slipping into Scrappy territory as well. [[spoiler: It can't have helped that he basically got off scot-free for being Gossip Girl.]] |
| 192 | * ''Series/{{Greek}}'': Lizzi. The attempt was to create a sorority consultant so markedly different from the sorority she's consulting. And it worked: the super-hyper, passive-aggressive, rule-enforcing, and overall annoying Lizzi went from zero to borderline XPacHeat-like in less than an episode. |
| 193 | * ''Series/GreenWing'': Holly definitely has some Scrappy elements, mostly by [[spoiler: deliberately splitting up Mac and Caroline by lying and saying her four-year-old son Mackenzie was the child she had previously told Mac she aborted - [[ILied he wasn't]] - plus making subtly undermining remarks to Caroline and then being totally unapologetic about it when found out]]. |
| 194 | * ''Series/GreysAnatomy'': Meredith Grey's half-sister Lexie, whose first scene involved flirting with [=McDreamy=] and became a series regular right after (yet-another) Meredith/Derek breakup. However, her [[SuperCouple super-popular]] relationship with Dr. Mark ''[=McSteamy=]'' Sloan, seemed to have [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap earned her some fans]] as well as the forming of a legitimate sisterly relationship with Meredith over time. |
| 195 | * ''Series/HappyDays'': |
| 196 | ** Chachi. He was popular when ''Happy Days'' was running; this is an example of [[VindicatedByHistory hindsight]], given that Chachi used to regularly get the female audience screams upon entrance that the Fonz ''used'' to get. |
| 197 | ** From the same show, Roger, as played by Ted [=McGinley=], who is a recognised symptom of Shark-Jumping. |
| 198 | * ''Series/{{Heroes}}'': |
| 199 | ** Maya, the TooDumbToLive plague-creating "heroine" who was introduced to us in Season 2 became TheScrappy of the show in record time. Her entire lengthy story was a TrappedByMountainLions plot and had fans begging for her death at the hands of Sylar even before the two characters met. Here's a hint for the writers: If a character dies and is [[DeathIsCheap brought back to life almost immediately afterwards]], and the fandom is ''angry'' that the character is still alive... you know you've got a Scrappy on your hands. |
| 200 | ** Another Scrappy on the show would not so much be a character but multiple characters played by the same actress. These would be the multitude of Creator/AliLarter clone characters. Once the first character ran her course fans were happy to see her character's storyline come to a close and her to be done, but WAIT fans were introduced to a concept that no matter how many characters played by Ali Larter die, there could always be another one in hiding. In the promos for season 4 it is shown that Ali Larter's many characters have become a CreatorsPet as the next season centers around her. The only good thing about this Scrappy is you actually get to watch her die multiple times on the show and though each one is exciting for the fans, it is bittersweet because the fans know she'll always return as Gina, or Brenda, or Cookie, or Lanora, or any other name and random power you can put on her. |
| 201 | ** To a lesser degree, Mohinder fits this bill as well. While he's always been a relatively useless character - not because of his lack of powers but because of his amazing ability to consistently trust the wrong people - he truly became TooDumbToLive in Season 2 [[spoiler: when he joined The Company to act as a deep-cover operative and help bring it down from the inside and ''then'' turned traitor on Noah Bennet despite having seen countless examples - both in Season 1 and Season 2 - of The Company being hopelessly corrupt and self-serving]]. Worse, Season 3 has paired Mohinder and Maya, which almost everyone can agree is a match made in Hell. EVEN WORSE, Mohinder suddenly gains Spider-Man like abilities and an inexplicable compulsion to steal people and encase them in cocoons. Maya missed an opportunity to [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap pull herself out of the Scrappy heap]] when she found out about Mohinder's new "habit." She almost killed him with her ability but Mohinder ''somehow'' talked her out of it. |
| 202 | ** Monica Dawson who appeared in the show's second season. Micah's cousin who was a Katrina victim with the power to imitate any movement she saw. Her storylines were considered some of the worst in the show's history and people are also upset that she lived while more popular characters died. She was written out after the season. There were several fans who were very upset to see her go, and thought she was one of the best things about the season. |
| 203 | ** Claire's flying boyfriend West was also not well liked. |
| 204 | ** Basically Season 2 only introduced 2 well-liked characters: Adam and Elle who are both sympathetic characters who are both potential WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds characters. Of course both characters were killed but ''Heroes'' had a thing for killing well liked characters and keeping the Scrappys. |
| 205 | ** You'd be hard pressed to find anyone who likes Bob Bishop. What he did to Elle before the series alone is enough reason to hate him. |
| 206 | * ''Series/HomicideLifeOnTheStreet'': |
| 207 | ** Detective Paul Falsone gets some of this treatment, with many finding him a bit smarmy and repellent. He wasn't helped by the fact that his character arc in the first season that he becomes a regular led to fan-favourite Detective Mike Kellerman's departure from the show. A [[http://web.archive.org/web/20070816033058/http://www.teevee.org/archive/1998/03/27/ 1998 essay]] on [=TeeVee.org=] effectively summed up why this character was so disliked. |
| 208 | ** Laura Ballard and Rene Sheppard also receive some of this treatment, both being seen as indicative of the production team's caving into ExecutiveMeddling by putting two 'supermodels with guns' in the show, in contrast to the show's more down-to-earth depiction of women in the police force prior to their introductions. |
| 209 | * ''Series/HoratioHornblower'': Mariette, Horatio's shallow SatelliteLoveInterest from "The Frogs and the Lobsters" (aka "The Wrong War") is a universally disliked character among the show's fans. Both the writers who didn't bother to make her interesting enough (rare and strange because even minor characters like lower-deck sailors were well-defined) and the poor performance of her actress who couldn't match the rest of the excellent cast are blamed equally. The nicest thing fans would say about her is that she was really pretty and rare female eye candy, as there was a lack of women anyway, given that ''Hornblower'' is an example of WoodenShipsAndIronMen genre. |
| 210 | * ''Series/{{House}}'': |
| 211 | ** Martha Masters, for having almost no real-world experience and creepy naivete. Her [[KnowNothingKnowItAll supposed brilliance]] being ''entirely'' an InformedAttribute didn't help. |
| 212 | ** Lucas Douglas, for never shutting the hell up and displacing fan-favorite Wilson as House's sidekick. Even those who didn't mind ''that'' probably thought he crossed the MoralEventHorizon when he "pranked" House and Wilson with malicious, destructive (he releases an opossum in their bathroom; loosens House's bathroom grab bar, causing him to fall painfully and dangerously; and sets off the fire sprinklers in their home; all told, it's at least several thousand dollars worth of damage, not to mention potentially, you know, ''killing'' a man by causing him to fall backwards into a bathtub) "practical jokes" in season 7. He then intentionally trips House in the cafeteria before gloating that it was him (House and Wilson were blaming the events on each other) and that they don't dare do anything about it or he'll tell Cuddy they sniped the home she wanted. At the end of the episode it's revealed she already knows this (and isn't even terribly upset about it), making him an even ''bigger'' douchebag. |
| 213 | ** Vogler, who was forced onto the show as a villain [[ExecutiveMeddling by the network.]] He was taken off the show when he became unpopular with the audience and caused ratings to drop. |
| 214 | ** Stacy Warner, House's ex, was meant to be his ex-girlfriend who was still madly in love with him, but their relationship was dysfunctional and she came across as extremely self-righteous, especially when it came to crippling his leg. |
| 215 | ** Rachel Taub's entire reason for existing as a character was the single least engaging RomanticPlotTumor in the series. |
| 216 | * ''Series/HouseOfAnubis'': There aren't many fans fond of Sophia, Erin, or Cassie from The Touchstone of Ra. Sophia is hated for flirting with Eddie (despite being a freshman) and then turning out as the BigBad, while Cassie and Erin were just seen as annoying and pointless characters by fans. Dexter, the other new character in the movie, avoids this by having an actual role in the plot and being seen as a mixture of all the boys in the House, making him a bit of an EnsembleDarkhorse. |
| 217 | * ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'': |
| 218 | ** Zoey manipulated Ted, lied to him, tried to ruin his career and when [[spoiler: he said "no" to saving the Arcadian]], she revealed she kept the recording of Ted praising said building and used it to humiliate him in public. Even the other characters hated her, as shown by Lily revealing to Ted that when the rest of them ranked Ted's former girlfriends, they had Zoey at the bottom of the list. |
| 219 | ** Don, though he fortunately ended up a Scrapped Scrappy. A sleazy idiot with a ton of [[InformedAbility informed ability]], he was the product of incredibly sloppy writing (in one episode's time, he's supposed to go from a sleazy jerk to the single most perfect man in the world, and said episode begins with Marshall shilling him after an offscreen hangout). |
| 220 | ** Stella became this after "Shelter Island", although some would argue that her dumping Ted at the altar was a direct consequence of Ted's own actions [[note]] she only got back together with her ex because Ted invited him to the wedding and then got Stella to have a one-on-one meeting with him before the ceremony[[/note]]. While the events of "As Fast As She Can" allowed some fans to [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap forgive her]], "The Wedding Bride" threw her right back into Scrappy territory. While her husband wrote the film, many of the details could have only come from Stella. So she dumped Ted at the altar and then helped the man she went on to marry to slander Ted as the villain in a hit movie. That's ''[[BitchInSheepsClothing stone cold]]''. |
| 221 | ** Quinn became this to ''two'' groups of shippers -- those for Barney/Robin and Barney/Nora. |
| 222 | * ''Series/HowToGetAwayWithMurder'': |
| 223 | ** Wes, the main character gets to be this, as his self-righteous attitude annoys several fans. It does not help he becomes more and more of a jerk as time goes on, he hogs unholy amounts of screentime from far more well liked characters such as Connor and Asher. His obsession with Rebecca is creepy enough on it's own, but it's worsened by the fact he barely interacts with the Keating 5 outside of helping her. By season 3, all characters even acknowledge the fact that he is to blame by how messed up their lives have become, since he just '''had''' to go and guilt trip everybody into helping a shady girl he barely knew. |
| 224 | ** As season 3, Nate. He was never well liked, but his continuous unimportance to the plot halfway through season 2, being reduced to sheerly a MrFanservice that doesn't even get as much time to be an eye-candy as Connor, who is both a MrFanservice and an interesting complex character. |
| 225 | ** Laurel over the course of season 3, as she gets {{flanderiz|ation}}ed into an annoying [[spoiler:griefing]] JerkAss. |
| 226 | * ''Series/HumanTarget'': Ames. Basically, she's supposed to be a thief that can steal anything. Or at least that's what they introduced her as, oh, and she has no concept of fighting or weapons while working for a team that has two assassins and a retired cop. The most useful thing she did in season 2 was translate for Guerrero. The dumbest thing she's done was sneak a kid out to a party whose house was just attacked a few hours previous. And while that's stupid enough on its own, she can't even protect him when he's nearly kidnapped. Had she been used sparingly, then it might've been okay. However, the writer's attempts to shoehorn her into most episodes without serving a real purpose only served to highlight how useless she really was. |
| 227 | [[/folder]] |
| 228 | |
| 229 | [[folder:I-L]] |
| 230 | * ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}'': Since the 2001-02 season, the [[LovelyAssistant "Clue Crew"]], who present even more video clues. Many dislike the fact that their video clues tend to be overlong and distracting, causing them to become so long-winded that the contestants and viewers both lose track of the clue, or simply because they chew up so much airtime, leaving more potential for clues going unrevealed at the end of the round. |
| 231 | * ''Series/JessicaJones2015'': Robyn, who spends much of her scenes being a shrill, rude, and selfish {{Jerkass}} who is ''way'' [[IncestSubtext more protective of her brother than should be allowed]], as well as demonstrating very abusive tendencies towards him. Her petty and irrational hatred of Jessica doesn't help matters, especially since it leads her to [[spoiler:idiotically rally the Kilgrave victims support group into attacking Jessica, allowing Kilgrave to escape and causing [[TheWoobie Hope's]] suicide]]. |
| 232 | * ''Franchise/KamenRider'': |
| 233 | ** ''Series/KamenRider555'': Shuji Mihara is considered by many as an unpopular character. Lots of viewers decry him for having virtually no personality or charisma and view him as unworthy of the Delta Gear, with many preferring [[PsychoForHire Kitazaki]] as its user. |
| 234 | ** ''Series/KamenRiderBlade'': Amane Kurihara was an unpopular character, due to being a ClingyJealousGirl for Hajime, to the point that she absolutely cannot function without him around, making her attachment to him just creepy. There's also the fact that she's incredibly disrespectful to adults, including her own mother, and especially to her uncle. [[spoiler:This [[TakeThatScrappy bites her]] in the end when she returns and turned into Another Blade in ''Series/KamenRiderZiO''.]] |
| 235 | ** ''Series/KamenRiderHibiki'': Kyosuke Kiriya was part of an unpopular ReTool of the show and seemed to exist primarily to pursue a tiresome and one-sided rivalry with the series' SupportingProtagonist Asumu Adachi. His fate in fandom was sealed forever when, in the show's finale, [[spoiler:Kiriya becomes an Oni and Asumu does not - the production team later confirmed that they were both supposed to have become Oni, but it was ultimately decided that Asumu would not, and his suit was scrapped for parts to enhance Kiriya's]]. His actor, Yuichi Nakamura, later redeemed himself by going on to play the more popular Yuto in ''Series/KamenRiderDenO''. |
| 236 | ** ''Series/KamenRiderKiva'': Ryo Itoya, the Spider Fangire - partly for being a creep who stalks and sexually harasses Yuri (then comes back 22 years later to do the same to her daughter) but mostly for being so campy, zany and over the top that it's impossible to take anything seriously when he is on the screen. |
| 237 | ** ''Series/KamenRiderFourze'': Has three in the form of minor characters Yukina Takamura, Ran Kuroki and Misa Toriizaki. Yukina is disliked for being a ClingyJealousGirl who tries to stop Gentaro being a Kamen Rider and is not his previous love interest, the well-liked Nadeshiko from ''Movie Wars Megamax'' (with Yukina going as far as to ''steal'' the Fourze Driver and not give it back when Libra Zodiarts was about to kill her), Ran is unpopular because she was hostile and violent to almost everyone (''including'' Ohsugi-sensei, and even he didn't even deserve being flipped into the air), and so pushy towards her supposed best friend that he was driven to become a Zodiarts, to the point that some consider her CatchPhrase being, "I'll protect you Haru!". Lastly, Misa was pretty much hated for being a complete bitch to another character Norio Eguchi (who was also Cygnus Zodiarts, aka the reason Rumi created her special Ugly Ducklings Cult) and went as far as to ''force'' poor Norio to activate his switch while the other members of the Ugly Ducklings trap him down. Made even ''worse'' because Norio created a SplitPersonality when he activated the switch for the first time but Misa didn't care at all; once Cygnus was revealed, she got on her knees and acted like Cygnus's high priestess. |
| 238 | ** ''Series/KamenRiderWizard'': Shunpei Nara is often criticized for taking his KidAppealCharacter traits ''way'' over the top, like an overly-[[{{Flanderization}} flanderized]] [[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger Gai Ikari]]. |
| 239 | ** ''Series/KamenRiderGhost'': Kanon Fukami is seen as the DamselScrappy of the show, due to constantly needing to be rescued, and her personality being little more than "help the heroes". Not helping things is that she's the reason the show went on as long as it did, since Takeru used his wish on her[[note]]Kanon is the sister of the [[SixthRanger Secondary Rider]], Makoto/Specter, not Takeru/Ghost[[/note]], thus prolonging Takeru's quest to be revived. |
| 240 | ** ''Series/KamenRiderRevice'': |
| 241 | *** Hikaru Ushijima was originally an extra character until he suddenly gained focus, which many fans felt was undeserved and should've gone to other characters, with the primary ones being George and ''especially'' Go Tamaki/Julio. He's often negatively compared to Tamaki because his motivation was also to protect a female character, but whereas Tamaki had a touching reason for wanting to protect Hana, Hikaru did not. He's also disliked by Hiromi and George fans for taking the Demons Driver. Even his character arc after [[spoiler: his parents' deaths]] did little to help things, namely because most felt it was too rushed. |
| 242 | *** Giff, the BigBad of the series, is hated by viewers for being a GenericDoomsdayVillain who does very little in the story. His servants do everything and have more presence, while he, due to being an obelisk for most of the show, literally just sits there. When he finally gets something to do, it's just as a big wall for the heroes to crash against, and his sudden focus on demons and humans co-existing comes out of nowhere for him and is underdeveloped, before he's swiftly defeated. |
| 243 | ** ''Series/KamenRiderGeats'': Daichi Isuzu was initially intended as a smug character who you're [[HateSink supposed to hate]], but the fact that [[spoiler:he's given a hasty redemption late into the show despite being consistently shown to be a self-centered and smug psychopath]] led to a lot of fans reviling him as a character as opposed to just as a villain. |
| 244 | * ''Series/KindredTheEmbraced'': This show is a rare example of a ''lead'' scrappy. The poor writing for main character Frank Kohanek, combined with Creator/CThomasHowell's less than stellar acting, resulted in him being intensely disliked by both fans and critics, the latter describing him as "something out of a bad cop show". His character was due to be written out in season 2, and the lead role given to supporting character Julian Luna... but Mark Frankel's untimely death resulted in the show being cancelled after 1 season. |
| 245 | * ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'': |
| 246 | ** Dale Stuckey was written to be one in-universe, which made him obnoxious to the viewer, too. Unusually for the trope, the rest of the squad and CSU were just as annoyed by him as anyone would be, [[spoiler: leading to his psychotic breakdown]]. |
| 247 | ** Kim Greylek was set up to be the new politically motivated ADA, but her most notable quality ended up being [[InformedAttribute her habit of smugly stating her good points]] as her introduction. |
| 248 | * ''Series/{{Lost}}'': |
| 249 | ** Michael is hated in Season 2 for his constant shouting about Walt's kidnapping and his lack of concern for anyone else, which was worsened by [[spoiler: his betrayal of the survivors and killing Ana Lucia and Libby as part of a deal with the Others]]. |
| 250 | ** Nikki and Paulo were introduced in the third season because the producers of the show were often asked what some of the other survivors of the crash were doing. Viewers and TV critics wasted no time flaming them to hell and back. |
| 251 | ** Some other fans hated Ana-Lucia when she was introduced to the cast due to her harsh and abrasive attitude. Killing off [[spoiler:Shannon]] didn't help either, even though it was [[AccidentalMurder an accident]]. And then, as soon as she was given more backstory to expand on her character, making her harsh personality a bit more understandable, [[spoiler:Michael (yet another disliked character) [[AlasPoorScrappy killed her]]]]. |
| 252 | ** Widmore's henchman, Zoe, in season 6, is widely hated for being a pointless, annoying character, eating up valuable screen time... and also for the actress claiming that she's the key to all the show's themes and is on "every page" of the series finale. [[spoiler:In the penultimate episode, Flocke kills her by slitting her throat quite violently, pleasing everyone who hated her.]] |
| 253 | [[/folder]] |
| 254 | |
| 255 | [[folder:M-N]] |
| 256 | * ''Series/MadMen'': |
| 257 | ** Betty Draper, especially in Season 4 onward (after her divorce with Don). In 2011-2012 she made it onto ''several'' lists of most hated TV characters, with a few even suggesting she be killed off. |
| 258 | ** Glen was okay when he was just a weird CreepyChild. But then he just keeps showing up and we're supposed to see him as just a normal kid, and root for him to hook up with Sally. [[CreatorsPet He's also played by the producer's son.]] |
| 259 | * ''Series/MajorCrimes'': Pretty much anyone who didn't come over from ''Series/TheCloser'' can qualify. Amy Sykes is a TwoferTokenMinority and engages in absurd levels of sucking up, and Emma Rios is a combination of [[KnightTemplar the martinet]] and a bitchy coward. Rusty Beck started off as TheLoad, whose utter self-centeredness and demands quickly grew tiresome. Rusty and Amy got RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap rather magnificently due to [[CharacterDevelopment getting whacked with a dose of maturity and altruism]] and [[TookALevelInBadass taking multiple levels in badass]], respectively. Rios was not so lucky. |
| 260 | * ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'': Jessica is one of the least liked characters due to her constant JerkAss behavior and absurdly easy manipulation of the brothers, outwitting Malcolm multiple times even when it doesn't make sense for him to fall for it, and overall being a KarmaHoudini with only a FreudianExcuse RunningGag as an excuse. |
| 261 | * ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'': Seven became one of these quickly, just like good old CousinOliver. What made it especially galling was how Peg actually tried to be a responsible mother to the little snot by giving him food, instead of the lazy, self-centered {{Jerkass}} the fans all knew and loved. |
| 262 | * ''Series/MaskedRider'': Ferbus is widely considered the weakest element of the show. From his high-pitched voice to him constantly putting Dex's cover at risk despite the Stewarts' constant reminders, its a wonder why Lexian bothered to let him go to Earth after his grandson ([[AlternateCharacterInterpretation provided Ferbus didn't sneak away while Lexian wasn't looking]]). |
| 263 | * ''Series/{{Merlin 2008}}'': |
| 264 | ** Agravaine ended up being this, especially as he was already something of a ReplacementScrappy to King Uther ''and'' a SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute to Morgana (being the smirky new [[TheMole Mole]] within Camelot's walls). It didn't start out that way; he was initially presented as a cunning, enigmatic villain, and the audience took it on faith that the writers would eventually explain his motivation and his long-term plans for Morgana and Arthur (his quasi-niece and nephew, respectively). Except... they didn't. Although a '''huge''' [[CharacterFocus amount of screen-time]] was spent on this character, there was [[HiddenAgendaVillain never any clear understanding of who he was or why he allied himself with Morgana]][[note]]A deleted scene suggested that he was in love with Morgana, though this was never clarified in the actual show, and the fact that there was no background on how they met or why he was so devoted to a woman that treated him like dirt (over his own nephew who accorded him respect and a powerful position in Camelot) only opened up more questions concerning what the heck he was trying to achieve[[/note]] and he was [[DroppedABridgeOnHim unceremoniously killed off]] without really achieving anything or affecting the long-term StoryArc in any way. His sister died giving birth to Arthur and his brother was killed by Uther when they tried to exact revenge, giving him some off-screen motivation, but the writers never got into if that was what was going on. |
| 265 | ** Furthermore, his presence turned Arthur into an idiot who took his advice despite his [[ObviouslyEvil obvious role as a villain]], basing his trust on the fact that Agravaine was his uncle that he had known all his life, even though he'd [[RememberTheNewGuy never been seen or mentioned before series four]]. It was grating to see Arthur take consistently bad advice from an obvious creep over that of Merlin and Guinevere, his best friend and future wife who didn't trust Agravaine an inch. |
| 266 | ** Tristan and Isolde weren't very popular either, on account of the former being a JerkAss, the latter being a FauxActionGirl, and the both of them being fairly pointless. They had nothing whatsoever to do with the legendary Literature/TristanAndIseult and took up valuable screentime in the series four finale that could have been better spent on characters the audience actually ''knew''. However, since they were only around for two episodes, they were gone before they could rile the audience into anything beyond mild apathy. |
| 267 | * Inverted in a [[Series/ThatMitchellAndWebbLook Mitchell and Webb sketch]] in which party planners dread that Shaggy and Scooby will tag along if they invite Fred, Daphne and Velma. In contrast they admire Scrappy for his courage and good diction, feeling that his slight impetuosity is to be forgiven in a ''talking dog''. |
| 268 | * ''Series/ModernFamily'': Dylan was somewhat liked when first introduced, but after his shtick of him being literally the dumbest person on the show, that includes Haley and Luke, became his only character trait, got old fast. Even worst, the fact that Haley ended up with him as her husband, and father of her children, in the end felt like backtracking on her entire series worth of character development, believing she had just reverted to the shallow, dimwitted, immature teen she was in the beginning of the series. This is especially a swat in the face of the beloved and well developed love story between her and fan favorite Andy, whom many still agree she should have ended up with all along. |
| 269 | * ''Franchise/TheMuppets'': |
| 270 | ** Bean Bunny is an interesting case. He first appeared as the protagonist in ''The Tale of the Bunny Picnic'' and began showing up in various Muppet projects through the late 80's/early 90's (most prominently, ''WesternAnimation/{{Muppet Babies|1984}}''). What's interesting is that [[CreatorsPest the cast and crew didn't seem to like him either]], finding him more obnoxious than cute. He was eventually DemotedToExtra when his puppeteer, Steve Whitmire, took over duties as Kermit after Jim Henson's passing. |
| 271 | ** Perhaps the most frequently cited "worst Muppet" among the fandom, however, is not Bean Bunny (who has become more of a BaseBreakingCharacter in current times) but the obscure [[https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Mr._Poodlepants?so=search Mr. Poodlepants]], who made most of his few appearances on some sketches from ''Series/MuppetsTonight''. Common points of contention are his weird and slightly disturbing name and design, his clownish antics and Creator/EdWynn-esque voice being widely seen as obnoxious, and the fact that he never really got his own shtick to stand out from the rest outside of his weird and annoying nature. |
| 272 | ** ''Series/TheMuppetsMayhem'': In a show where the human characters have caused plenty of BrokenBase between those who dislike them on default for being humans in a Muppet production and those who admit they are, for the most part, actually quite likable this time around, JJ stands out as having practically no fans. He is widely considered a {{Jerkass}} KarmaHoudini that the story seems to be unable to decide whether he is supposed to be likable or an antagonist, and he also is heavily associated with the show's widely panned RomanticPlotTumor LoveTriangle between Nora, Moog, and JJ as unlike the other two, he has very few scenes outside of it. |
| 273 | * ''Series/MyParentsAreAliens'': Guido, who was introduced in Series 8 (the last series, perhaps not surprisingly). Also, CJ and [[ReplacementScrappy Harri]]. |
| 274 | * ''Series/{{Nashville}}'': |
| 275 | ** Rayna's husband Teddy has this status among fans; NaiveNewcomer Scarlett also gets her share. Neither, however, are as hated as Dante (Jolene's therapist), due to his apparent belief that Juliette basically has to apologise for her mother ''being a drug-addicted unfit mess of a parent''... although you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who likes Peggy [[spoiler: right up to when she was shot and killed. And considering Dante turned out to be a fraud, stole 450 grand from Juliette and tried to extort more cash via a sex tape to boot before Jolene killed him - [[TearJerker and herself]] - this may have been the response the writers were going for all along. In his case, anyway]]. |
| 276 | ** A number of viewers find Scarlett's been RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap in season 2 thanks to [[spoiler: her drug use and her proving to have the mama from hell.]] The presence of Zoey, her black friend and ReplacementScrappy, can't have hurt; ditto Luke Wheeler in the latter capacity with a side order of DieForOurShip (Both Zoey got PutOnABus (due to the ChannelHop in the case of the latter). Unfortunately, Maddie started to develop BrattyTeenageDaughter tendencies in season two, and pretty much never stopped. Juliette's distaste for Layla Grant is shared by many viewers, thanks to a combination of her character, the writing and Aubrey Peeples' acting being less impressive than her singing - so not many were sorry when like Will Chase, it was decided that she would not be making the trip to Creator/{{CMT}} as part of the new showrunners' WinBackTheCrowd strategy (in spite of a shamelessly obvious planted article in ''The Hollywood Reporter'' decrying the departure of Layla/Aubrey). |
| 277 | * ''Series/TheNewAdventuresOfOldChristine'': Marley and Lindsay. They're {{Rich Bitch}}es who seemingly have no purpose other then to make jokes about how ignorant and "poor" Christine is, they're not the least bit funny, they're just incredibly irritating. |
| 278 | * ''Series/NewGirl'': Coach. Kind of an Inverted ReplacementScrappy. He appeared in the pilot, then Damon Wayans Jr. [[Series/HappyEndings got renewed for another season]] so [[PutOnABus Coach ended up moving out of the loft sometime between episode 1 and 2]]. When his series was cancelled, [[TheBusCameBack Coach mysteriously moved back]]. Only problem, there was no real role for Coach anymore, having been replaced by Winston. The fans felt that instead of adding to the show, Coach was messing with the casts impressive chemistry. The writers realized this as well, and Coach [[CommutingOnABus left once again by the end of season 4, moving to New York]]. The show itself wasn't above playing off this, as when the gang takes a trip to NYC, they run into Coach on the street, incensed that none of them took the time to visit him. [[TakeThatScrappy They in turn all avoid eye contact and walk away from him.]] |
| 279 | * ''Series/{{Newhart}}'': Kirk [=DeVane=] was a painfully unfunny {{Jerkass}} for the show's first 2 seasons. Midway through the second season, the writers desperately tried to [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap save him]] by giving him a sweet, likeable girlfriend. It only worked part way. She herself was quite likeable and appealing, but it was impossible to understand [[WhatDoesSheSeeInHim what the Hell she saw in Kirk.]] Fortunately, around the same time, a new, hilarious JerkAss, Michael Harris, made his debut on the show. At the start of the third season, Kirk and his new wife were PutOnABus, Michael [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute took his place on the show]], and ''Newhart'' [[GrowingTheBeard grew the beard.]] |
| 280 | * ''Series/NightCourt'': Lisette Hocheiser. The final two seasons introduced this [[TheDitz ditzy]], [[GenkiGirl bubbly]] court stenographer. While the show desperately wanted her [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} quirky]] and [[NaiveNewcomer naïve]] character to be a jovially fresh presence in almost the same vein as Georgette Baxter was on ''Series/TheMaryTylerMooreShow'', Lisette simply wasn't endearing enough to be shoehorned into a series this late into its run. Not only that, but Lisette as a character, was only crafted around the kind of humor she'll bring instead of anything well-built or honest. Everything about Lisette was annoying, from her [[CuteButCacophonic grating voice]] to the way she gasped every time she started talking. Ultimately, such a [[TooDumbToLive dumb]], vacuous, and pointless character like her did nothing for the show other than distract from the arguably more [[SeasonalRot atrocious storytelling]] that was going on. |
| 281 | * ''Series/NipTuck'': Gina Russo. She started as a minor foil for [[ChickMagnet Christian Troy]] when he began attending [[TropaholicsAnonymous SA Meetings]], but she quickly became a semi-regular, showing up at the most inopportune times to cause Christian and Sean grief, such as forcing Christian to wait on her hand and foot as she prepared to give birth to a baby she thought was his ([[ChocolateBaby It wasn't]]). She was annoying, verbally abusive ("asshole" being her favorite insult,) mildly psychotic, and manipulative, and thanks to Ryan Murphy's inability to let plots die, she [[YoyoPlotpoint kept coming back.]] |
| 282 | * ''{{Series/Numb3rs}}'': Nikki. She's got a 4 year degree from the streets of Compton, yo! She [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap improves significantly]] in her second (and the show's final) season. |
| 283 | [[/folder]] |
| 284 | |
| 285 | [[folder:O-P]] |
| 286 | * ''Series/TheOC'': |
| 287 | ** A VocalMinority of fans loathed Marissa Cooper passionately, mostly because she tended to be a self-destructive drama magnet (and on a soap opera, that's ''saying something'') who became the center of attention of any scene she was in and tended to [[JerkAss treat people like crap]]... but everyone around her continued to like her and put up with it. [[spoiler:The third season ends with her finally getting KilledOffForReal.]] |
| 288 | ** On the flipside, Malex fans hate her mother and [[DieForOurShip Ryan]] for getting in the way of the two girls relationship. |
| 289 | * ''Series/TheOfficeUS'': |
| 290 | ** Angela Martin, a massively {{hypocrit|e}}ical HolierThanThou {{Jerkass}} who plays with both Dwight and Andy's feelings. The show's attempt to turn her into a JerkassWoobie in the last couple seasons by sticking her into a loveless sham of a marriage with a gay man using her as [[TheBeard his "beard"]] comes more often than not as rightful retribution. |
| 291 | ** Ryan Howard, following Season 3. As he rises in the company ranks, it becomes increasingly obvious that he has [[KnowNothingKnowItAll little to none of the knowledge he believes himself to have]], and even after tanking the company, [[SmallNameBigEgo he still believes he's better than everyone else]]. Moreover, the show's increasingly convoluted attempts to keep him around despite serving little purpose to the office and not even having a real ''job'' in general became more grating as time went on. It was even {{lampshade|Hanging}}d in the show. |
| 292 | -->'''Jim:''' I liked you better when you were just the temp. |
| 293 | -->'''Ryan:''' Yeah, so did I. |
| 294 | ** Pete Miller. Aside from [[DieForOurShip incurring the wrath of enraged Andy/Erin shippers]] due to his and Erin's hook-up in the last season (which required putting Andy through the DerailingLoveInterests treatment to work), non-shippers also disliked him due to finding him a [[TheGenericGuy bland and boring]] SatelliteLoveInterest and a badly done rehash of Jim overall. |
| 295 | ** Nellie Bertram, due to being a massive CreatorsPet and a bitchy KarmaHoudini who got a job she didn't even deserve. |
| 296 | * ''Series/OnceUponATime'': |
| 297 | ** Greg and Tamara from Season 2. Tamara had almost no backstory or CharacterDevelopment, manipulated and exploited Neal, and [[KickTheDog lied about having cancer so that she could kill a magical healer]]. Greg was a little more well-developed and had a FreudianExcuse, but many fans found him to be annoying. Both characters are disliked for their bizarre anti-magic tech, and it doesn't hurt that they were trying to destroy Storybrooke, or that they [[ReplacementScrappy replaced Cora]] as the new [[ArcVillain Arc Villains]]. They were so widely despised they were literally killed off in the first episode of the next season. |
| 298 | ** The Blue Fairy who some fans took a disliking to when she prevented Dreamy/Grumpy and Nova from getting together. The hatred continued when she separated Rumple from his son and ended up telling Rumple about the Dark Curse (indirectly yes but still that set him on his villainous path) and doing nothing about it. Her statement that there where no magic beans in the land turning out to be ExactWords did not help as it turned out that it was the last in the '''Enchanted Forest''' but not in the other places in the realm. Finally she refused to help Regina when she was on the cusp of turning evil ((not after fully turning evil) and punished the one person who tried to help her. |
| 299 | ** Milah became the scrappy when she abandoned Rumple and her son because Rumple was a coward. Her repeated mocking of him did not help. |
| 300 | ** David Nolan (but not Charming) ended up being hated by fans when he started having an affair with one woman and beginning a string of lies to protect himself. This ended up hurting both women he was in a relationship with. |
| 301 | * ''Series/OnlyFoolsAndHorses'': The 2001-03 revival gave us Damien, Del and Raquel's teenage son who had grown from an EnfantTerrible (but only as far as his uncle Rodney was concerned) into a combination of SpoiledBrat, MouthyKid and TagalongKid who [[JiveTurkey spoke like]] [[Series/DaAliGShow Ali G]], [[ThePeepingTom spied on his aunt when she was in the shower]] and ''openly wished that his father would be sent to prison'' because he wanted to fit in with the fatherless yobs on the estate. |
| 302 | * ''Series/OrangeIsTheNewBlack'' |
| 303 | ** Larry is this to [[MemeticMutation incredibly memetic levels]], despite Jason Biggs doing a rather good acting job. The reasons for the dislike seems to be both how boring and disconnected from the prison his scenes can be, how he begins to act like a complete {{Jerkass}} to Piper, and keeping Alex and Piper apart (for fans that prefer that couple). |
| 304 | ** Vee is a tad too close to being a Villain Sue in many fans' eyes and in contrast to literally every other antagonist, she doesn't have a single sympathetic or humanizing trait. Again, the actress is doing a good job, but the character is so despised that [[spoiler:running Vee over with a van]] instantly elevated Rosa to a fan favorite. |
| 305 | ** Polly wasn't much liked either by viewers during the first season although she gained a lot of detractors when the second season arrived with a storyline of her getting together with Larry, who is also disliked. This likely contributed to her lack of an appearance in season 3. |
| 306 | ** Stella is viewed as this for many fans, who believe her character is poorly written and overly [[MsFanservice fanservicey]]. Also some viewers have uncharitable opinions on Ruby Rose's acting. |
| 307 | ** The white supremacist prisoners are heavily disliked by the fandom despite the attempts to make them somewhat less two-dimensional. |
| 308 | ** Maureen Kukudio was already hated for her creepy and abusive relationship with Suzanne, but things took a turn for the worse in Season 5 when she abruptly [[spoiler: murders a guard by giving him a stroke]], an act that Daya ends up taking the blame for. This ends up being a big factor in Daya's [[spoiler: FaceHeelTurn in Seasons 6 and 7]]. Maureen meanwhile [[KarmaHoudini gets off completely scot-free for this]] because nobody but Suzanne has any idea that it was her, and then pretty randomly [[spoiler: dies of her injuries offscreen before her backstory was ever revealed]], making the entire character feel like a pointless waste of time. |
| 309 | ** Daddy became this due her to her toxic nature and abusive relationship with inmate Daya in Season 6. |
| 310 | ** In its last season, the series introduced a [[{{Jerkass}} mean]], [[BigBeautifulWoman chubby]] blonde girl inmate named Madison "Badison" Murphy. Presumably, ''OITNB'' was attempting to cash-in on the recent success of Creator/AmySchumer, who showed how hilarious it was to hear from a [[NoIndoorVoice loudmouthed]] fat blonde girl, full of uncensored [[StrawFeminist feminisms]]. Unfortunately, Badison as a character was almost completely hateful and not charming or compelling in any way. To make matters worse, her actress Amanda Fuller also spoke with a really overcooked [[HollywoodNewEngland Boston accent]]. Other female characters on that show had been felonious, rough and mean, sure, but always retained an air of being somehow [[UnintentionallySympathetic sympathetic]]… or at least [[TooFunnyToBeEvil funny]]. Badison's scenes consequently proved to be [[{{Padding}} tedious]]. |
| 311 | * ''Series/{{Oz}}'': |
| 312 | ** Clayton Hughes and his rapid slide into insanity was poorly received, mainly because of how rushed his character arc was. He was clearly meant to be seen as a TragicVillain, but just how quickly he went over the edge and his [[UngratefulBastard ungrateful]], [[EntitledBastard entitled]] personality killed any real sympathy he had. The fact he pointlessly killed the [[EnsembleDarkhorse far more popular]] and interesting Johnny Basil in a [[DroppedABridgeOnHim bridge-dropping]] manner didn't help. |
| 313 | ** Omar White. While it's clear we were meant to have some kind of affection for him at times, his habit of always getting himself into trouble (despite given numerous "last chances" by McManus and Said to get his act together), blaming others for his own messes and generally spending a lot of time being an ungrateful jerk to those trying to help him meant that an awful lot of people end up glad to see him go by Season 6. |
| 314 | * ''Series/ParksAndRecreation'': While he isn't exactly bashed or outright despised, Mark Brendanawicz is definitely not going to top anyone's list of favorite characters. He was meant to be the StraightMan and OnlySaneMan, but the fans overwhelmingly found Mark [[TheGenericGuy boring, bland, and uninteresting]] in comparison to the other more colorful characters and consequently, he was written off as a badly done [[Series/TheOfficeUS Jim Halpert]] {{expy}}. And then other fans simply found him an underwhelming {{love interest}} character for Leslie (whom he didn't always treat with respect) and Ann (who's also had her fair share of detractors who found her boring and thus, found the Ann/Mark relationship a slog to get through). It's quite telling that the fans didn't really care when he was PutOnABus in the second season finale, nor did they really clamor for his return when it became a LongBusTrip as the series went on. In fact, some fans even admit they forgot he even existed at all and found his presence in the first two seasons a jarring reminder. |
| 315 | * ''Series/PlaySchool'': Even a mere children's toy can be a scrappy. ''Play School'' featured five toys: Big Ted and Little Ted (two classic-style cuddly teddy bears), Humpty (a lovable big furry green egg), Jemima (a soft rag doll with a friendly face) and Hamble (a hideous cheap-looking plastic doll with a very unfriendly face). Hamble was, for many Britons of a certain age, their first-ever hate figure. Even the cast hated her because of her inability to sit without falling over, which was resolved by the painful-sounding insertion of a knitting needle. She even got used as a football between takes. Small wonder she was eventually dropped in favour of the only slightly less unpopular Poppy. |
| 316 | * ''Franchise/PowerRangers'': |
| 317 | ** ''Series/PowerRangersLightspeedRescue'': Vypra, due to Jennifer Yen's bad acting, that is pretty bad for the typical ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' fare. |
| 318 | ** ''Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive'': Dax. The show tried to give him quirks like [[EnsembleDarkHorse Bridge]] from ''[[Series/PowerRangersSPD SPD]]'', but he came across as more annoying than funny. He's also supposed to seem like he's underappreciated due to being just the stuntman, but he doesn't give any reasons to make himself endearing or anything to appreciate. While episodes that highlight him as TheEveryman rather than a PluckyComicRelief make him more sympathetic and likeable, they are few and in between compared to his more annoying behavior. |
| 319 | --->'''[[WebVideo/HistoryOfPowerRangers Linkara]]''': "Shut up, Dax!" |
| 320 | ** ''Series/PowerRangersSPD'': Sam, specifically ''Future''-Sam a.k.a The Omega Ranger, mainly because we don't know a damn thing about him. That he ''does'' appear in the finale, for all of three seconds, without his costume, was seen as an insult by the fanbase, and he rivals [[Series/PowerRangersWildForce Cole]] and [[Series/PowerRangersTurbo Justin]] for Most Hated Ranger Ever -- those two win because they have personality quirks and flaws that make them unlikeable -- Sam is hated because he ''lacks'' any of this, due to the writers bypassing him as often as possible. Bruce Kalish has acknowledged that Sam could have been handled better. |
| 321 | ** ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo'': |
| 322 | *** Justin, who had shades of the CreatorsPet. But a lot of it comes mostly from ''concept'' rather than execution. He was a young kid compared to the older Rangers and no matter how hard Blake Foster tried he always stuck out among the group. But as a character he was fairly well rounded: skilled and observant but with moments of jealousy, pride and short-sightedness. It doesn't help that Justin's actor Blake Foster recently went on social media to attack Abraham Rodriguez (''Series/PowerRangersBeastMorphers''' Nate). Foster has subsequently received a lot of backlash from fans and fellow PR actors alike. |
| 323 | *** Alpha 6, also of ''Turbo'', could qualify. While Alpha 5 was dorky-but-lovable, Alpha 6 was an attempt to make Alpha cool by using [[JiveTurkey forced-hip slang]] ("Yo, Rangers!"). It's no coincidence that as ''Turbo'' ended, he was damaged, and his voice chip needed to be [[TheOtherDarrin replaced with one of Alpha 5's]]. |
| 324 | *** Dimitria, both for [[ReplacementScrappy replacing Zordon]] and [[FigureItOutYourself being limited to interrogative statements]] for the first half of the series. |
| 325 | *** Elgar too. While his Sentai counterpart, Zelmoda, is a comedic buffoon, he's still a capable combatant and has a much better voice courtesy of Creator/KyouseiTsukui. As for Elgar, he's widely despised for obnoxious and not remotely threatening, face and voice included. |
| 326 | ** ''Series/PowerRangersSamurai:'' Mentor Ji, for being a crappy teacher, his blatant favoritism towards Jayden, his self-righteous attitude, his [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment redundant name]], and his tendency to put down Antonio for not being born into a Samurai lineage. Being the ''Power Rangers'' equivalent of Tanba instead of Kusakabe as well as his actor turning out to be a sexual predator didn't help matters. |
| 327 | ** ''Series/PowerRangersMegaforce:'' |
| 328 | *** Troy has so far gone down as one of the worst Red Rangers of all time due to him having absolutely no personality. (Ironically, his similarly-disliked Goseiger counterpart Alata was hated for having ''too much'' personality. Marvelous came off as not having much of a personality most of the time too, but he was written to be generally reserved in his emotions, plus had the badass credentials to make up for it and an actor who did more than just stood there stoically when the scene wasn't focused on him, while Troy is the result of a first time nonunion actor combined with poor scripts and, most likely, mediocre direction.) This wasn't helped when, in "Spirit of the Tiger," he became a [[JerkassBall massive jackass out of nowhere]] for insisting that "A ranger must never let go of his weapons". (That wasn't even in the ''Gokaiger'' episode either. Marvelous was more of the type of leader to, more often than not, let his teammates figure their problems out on their own, only helping when needed. Maybe it's a result of the writers injecting some personality into him, as some of the actors wanted, but not understanding what kind of personality was required and where.) The other four Rangers are exempt for at least having more personality and development than Troy (especially Emma and Noah), and Robo Knight and Orion seem to be avoiding it altogether. |
| 329 | ----> '''Linkara''': "Here's a little game. Which of these two characters is the robot?" (In a scene between Troy and ''Roboknight'') |
| 330 | *** Gosei as well, compared to his Sentai counterpart Master Head, since he's a FlatCharacter who only exists to tell the Rangers when they have a new power up. |
| 331 | * ''Series/PrettyLittleLiars'': |
| 332 | ** You'll be hard-pressed to find a fan of the show who likes Nathan. Even before the reveal that [[spoiler: he was Maya's psycho AxCrazy killer,]] he was still hated because he was teased to be a love interest for resident LipstickLesbian Emily, and he ''did'' try a move on her, even after she explains that she's not into guys. The fanbase was not pleased. |
| 333 | ** Byron Montgomery was never liked by the fanbase for being a hypocrite and possibly involved in Alison's murder. |
| 334 | ** Pam is hated because she freaks out when Emily comes out as a lesbian. Pam, however, does redeem herself in the eyes of the fans when she stands up for her daughter to [[HeteronormativeCrusader Paige's father]] and defends her, finally embracing her sexuality. She later tells Emily that she accepts her how she is and is accepting of Emily/Maya and later Emily/Paige. |
| 335 | ** Good luck finding a single fan of Sara Harvey. From her poorly-written romance plot with Emily to Dre Davis' terrible acting, the fanbase absolutely hates Sara. That's not even getting into her widely hated involvement in the story with so many plot holes it resembles Swiss cheese. |
| 336 | * ''Series/PrisonBreak'': Brad Bellick was this in season one, but then he [[CharacterDevelopment got]] [[HeelFaceTurn much]] [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap better]] later on. However, pick any of the new characters introduced in season 3 (except ''maybe'' [[BaseBreakingCharacter Whistler]]) and you've got this trope taken. Particularly Lechero. No one cried when [[spoiler: T-Bag kills him]] in the finale. |
| 337 | [[/folder]] |
| 338 | |
| 339 | [[folder:Q-R]] |
| 340 | * ''Series/{{Quantico}}'': This series has quite a list, especially among the [=NATs=] who keep turning on Alex every five minutes (and blaming Simon for getting a crooked FBI agent/instructor fired): |
| 341 | ** Special mention goes to Shelby, who blamed Alex for [[spoiler: her affair with Caleb's father coming out]] when Alex was trying to find out who was really behind the attacks, even though it was her own fault for having the affair to begin with. She also [[spoiler: lied to Caleb's parents so that they would miss his graduation from the academy and to hurt him for not telling her how bad her parents really were.]] |
| 342 | ** Ryan is also one after he turned on Alex in the midseason premiere, and kept on treating her like the enemy to the point where he nearly killed her in hand-to-hand combat. |
| 343 | ** Nimah can be seen as one, considering her extreme hatred of Simon for his relationship with her sister and getting said crooked instructor fired. She only knew the instructor for about five minutes, yet she acted like Simon got rid of her favorite teacher and even tried to get him expelled from the academy. |
| 344 | * ''Series/RavensHome'': |
| 345 | ** Booker's two friends, [[ThoseTwoGuys Curtis and the Guntz]], as well as Nia's friend Sienna, are viewed as not only annoying, but with far fewer good characteristics when compared to the primary cast. Curtis and the Guntz are frequently seen as bullies, while Sienna is simply seen as having an annoying voice. This is so bad that the Guntz [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome suddenly vanished after Season 2]] and has not been seen or mentioned since, while Curtis made only two appearances in Season 3 and Sienna made only one appearance plus two mentions. |
| 346 | ** Ramon is not particularly well-liked, mostly due to being a FlatCharacter and SatelliteLoveInterest for Tess - not to mention the hate he gets from [[DieForOurShip Booker/Tess shippers]] for standing in the way of their OneTruePairing. |
| 347 | * ''Series/RedDwarf'': Alternate Kochanski from Series VII is one of these. For starters, she [[ReplacementScrappy replaced Rimmer]], second, she [[TheOtherDarrin was played by a different actress]] than the original Kochanski, and third, while the original Kochanski seemed to be a fun, down-to-earth gal who was perfect for Lister (if still sufficiently out of his league to make his initially unrequited pining for her realistic), the new Kochanski was a cold, stuck-up snob whom it was difficult to see an easy-going slob like Lister being attracted to. She was dropped from the cast after a couple seasons, with a final cameo appearance in a Back To Earth/Series IX DreamSequence. |
| 348 | * ''Series/RobinHood'' from ''BBC'': |
| 349 | ** Kate was brought into the show in order to replace Maid Marian [[spoiler:(killed at the end of season two)]]. It's astonishing that nobody on the writing staff realized that trying to replace an iconic {{Love Interest|s}} with an OriginalCharacter was a ''terrible'' idea, and that it would have taken a screenwriting ''miracle'' to pull it off. Already pegged as a ReplacementScrappy to a beloved central character, things went downhill when Kate was introduced as a [[ClingyJealousGirl Clingy Jealous]] {{Jerkass}}, [[FauxActionGirl Faux Action]] [[TheLoad Load]] and [[TheDitz Ditzy]] [[DamselScrappy Damsel]]. Not only an egregious CanonForeigner into the mythos of Myth/RobinHood, [[TrappedByMountainLions completely irrelevant]] to the StoryArc, and the DesignatedVictim that [[ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike complained every time someone rescued her from her own stupidity]], the real problem stemmed from the fact that she was ''completely and utterly'' '''useless'''. Her pre-outlaw occupation was to sell hideous pots to a village that was undoubtedly more concerned about where their next meal was coming from, her attempts to “save” her brother from enforced conscription [[NiceJobBreakingItHero lead directly to his death]], and she never did anything to justify her place amongst the outlaws (at best she stood and watched, [[TheMillstone at worst she got captured and criticised them on how they handled her rescue]]), and yet still the other outlaws [[CharacterShilling shilled]] her to the skies. Everything that could go wrong, ''did'' go wrong with the writing of this character, to the point where you wonder if it was done on purpose. Luckily for Joanna Frogett who played Kate, her very next role after ''Robin Hood'' was on the hit period drama ''Series/DowntonAbbey'' where she played Anna the maid, a far more beloved (and ''competent'') character, which proved it wasn't the actress' fault for Kate's low popularity but poor writing. |
| 350 | ** Tuck wasn't that popular either. Though he had least had the advantage over Kate of actually ''being'' in the legends upon which the show was based, it was abundantly clear that the writers introduced him without really knowing what they planned to do with him. After the first episode of the third series (in which he convinces Robin to return to the fight against injustice) he really doesn't do anything substantial. It might not have been so bad except that the writers would often focus on Kate and Tuck at the expense of the other outlaws (Much, Allan, John) who had been around since the beginning of the show and were now being [[SpotlightStealingSquad shoved aside in order to accommodate the newcomers]]. Thus Kate and Tuck not only got two character-centric episodes revolving around them, but were made out to be the two most important and trusted members of Robin's gang (Tuck taking John's place as TheLancer, and Kate nudging out Much as Robin's {{Sidekick}}, as well as his new {{Love Interest|s}}) with no justification whatsoever. |
| 351 | [[/folder]] |
| 352 | |
| 353 | [[folder:S]] |
| 354 | * ''Series/SamsonEnGert'': |
| 355 | ** [[FatBastard Alberto]] [[JerkAss Vermicelli]] from this Belgian kiddie show, a very popular show in Belgium (and the Netherlands partially). The blame is on the creators themselves for actually Flanderizing the character. In the very first seasons (1990-1993), Alberto was simply a [[SmallNameBigEgo Ted Baxter]]-looking barber-opera singer who only liked to [[BigEater eat very much]], yet he never hurt anyone with it. In fact, he even helped the others many times. But then came the Flanderization in 1994, which ran all the way until the series' end in 2005. He became an very dumb ManChild Eric Cartman-like JerkAss with almost no respect for his friends, or other civilians from the same fictional town. His SmallNameBigEgo became over the top and now he thinks he is God, demanding everything he wants, and then rants like a child if the others refuse to do it. His Big Eating also became exaggerating, he constantly talks about food, even during a discussion to help one of the characters who has problems (a typical plot in the show). Many episodes shows him plotting jerkish schemes to snatch food from others. Some episodes even portrays him as a complete Jerkass who delights in causing mischief and madness and bullying people; and on top of that [[KarmaHoudini he gets away with most of it]], mostly because the others just stupidly let him go. It's very hard to think of why the titular characters and the other friends are still friends of him while he's abusing them, or the creators/writers didn't put him on a bus yet, or at least have the main cast break up with him and demote him to a recurring villain, so he still would be in the show. |
| 356 | ** [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep The Minister's]] [[NoNameGiven Assistant/Delegate]] (in original Dutch he's called "de afgevaardigde van de minister"), a government inspector checking out status in the fictional town. He used to be a normal, neutral recurring character, but after too many actors left the show, the writers (rather than creating new characters or hiring other Darrins) Flanderized into a main character for the last five seasons. He also became the CreatorsPet, since many of these season's episodes went directly about him. And the man has almost never contact with the other characters, or screen-time. His only appearance is to snarl at the main cast for not doing his job properly. And keep in mind that only two of the cast (excluding the Minister's Assistant) are government workers (The Mayor and his assistant Eugene), so this guy comes off as a dictator to his people. |
| 357 | ** Unlike the two above example (who got to stick around), Frieda, a character so despised, the writers had to write her out after only three seasons. |
| 358 | * ''Series/SavedByTheBell'': Tori Scott, for not just replacing Kelly and Jessie after their actresses left the show, but for being a CompositeCharacter of the two who was better than everyone else at everything, loved by everyone, had the popular girl Lisa begging to be her friend, and was Zack's new {{Love Interest|s}} all in very little time after her introduction. |
| 359 | * ''Series/{{Scandal}}'': Quinn Perkins is considered this, due to her being the NaiveNewcomer and sticking out like a sore thumb. Season 2 seems to have her RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap though. |
| 360 | * ''Series/SesameStreet'': |
| 361 | ** Some people saw [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9zHGzE0_iI Rodeo Rosie]] as this back in TheSeventies, due to her being loud, overbearing, and bossy. |
| 362 | ** Deena and Pearl, especially [[MotorMouth the]] [[GenkiGirl former]], due to their sketches being nothing more than than [[TheyCopiedItSoItSucks a cheap attempt to copy the formula of the much more memorable Ernie and Bert sketches]], at least in the eyes of the show's PeripheryDemographic. Many of their sketches have become [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes lost media]]. |
| 363 | ** All of the ''Monster Clubhouse'' characters (Mooba/Googel, Mel, Narf, and Groogle/Phoebe), and the segment as a whole were disliked by the series' adult fanbase, as well as the target demographic of children due to the segment's frenetic pace. This segment was dropped from the show after Season 34. |
| 364 | ** Horatio the Elephant is also not very well-liked, mainly due to his annoying voice as well as the fact that when he gets overly excited, he forgets he's an elephant and jumps up and down, causing small earthquakes as a result. However, the fanbase seems to like Hortatio's puppet when it is utilized as a generic, unnamed elephant. |
| 365 | ** Several parents on Website/{{Reddit}} seem to dislike Charlie, a human child of a military family, who was introduced in Season 50 and became a regular character instead of a one-off like the other kids. She shows up everyone and knows everything, and her affinity for counting once caused The Count to undergo a HeroicBSOD. |
| 366 | ** Some parents find Rudy to be annoying in the ''Abby's Amazing Adventures'' segments due to his formulaic tendency to just give up on whatever they’re doing when it gets hard before Abby pushes him to carry on. |
| 367 | * ''Series/ShamelessUS'' |
| 368 | ** Karen Jackson gained this reputation over time for being overall [[BitchInSheepsClothing nasty]], [[ManipulativeBitch manipulative]] and [[ItsAllAboutMe selfish]]. |
| 369 | ** Sammi Slott. While she was more or less enjoyable during Season 4, in Season 5, she crosses into this. She ''shoots'' Frank, tries to act like she's so above everyone else, and [[spoiler:manages to get Carl and Ian arrested for her son Chuckie getting arrested after he was uncovered as a drug mule. With Carl, it's understandable since he was the one who planted the drugs on Chuckie, but Ian had nothing to do with this, so calling the Army police on him was [[MisplacedRetribution completely uncalled for]] on her end]]. While Frank is a horrible parent, he can occasionally make up for it by still being caring at times. Sammi is shown to be one horrible woman who doesn't care who she screws over to get what she wants. |
| 370 | ** Debbie's popularity took a dive after she hit puberty in Season 4 and became a BrattyTeenageDaughter while [[TookALevelInDumbass losing the qualities]] that had made her WiseBeyondHerYears in the process, but the real drop-off happens in Season 6. She [[spoiler:deliberately gets pregnant in a misguided attempt to keep her boyfriend with her, decides to keep it even after he's ditched her, ignores Fiona's warnings that she's making a really bad decision, and refuses to accept the consequences of her actions or even accept help from Fiona (who was proven right about Debbie not being ready to take care of a baby) when she ''does'' offer it. And even after Franny is born, she succeeds on pure luck and is handed almost as many opportunities to succeed by the writers as Frank does]]. By Season 7, she consistently rates as being the least-liked character on the show. |
| 371 | * ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'': Eurus Holmes is consistently disliked for being an accumulation of criticisms people had with the series. She is an UnknownRelative and PsychopathicWomanchild who hijacks the final episode, the plot twists regarding her increasingly creep into fantastic and unbelievable territories -- including that she made Sherlock remember his childhood best friend, Victor, as his pet dog -- and required both Sherlock and Mycroft to be [[IdiotBall severely underpowered and helpless]], and her intelligence being an InformedAttribute (her ability is more like a CompellingVoice power). Furthermore, despite having committed several murders[[note]]As well as having previously [[EnfanteTerrible burned down the first Holmes Residence]] after [[WouldHurtAChild leaving Victor to drown in a well]] out of petty jealousy, [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil raped and mutilated a nurse]], driven a psychiatrist to commit MurderSuicide, psychologically torturing scores of people, and [[HeadsIWinTailsYouLose killing hostages even when her games were followed to the letter]][[/note]], Sherlock [[EasilyForgiven forgives her because she just wanted to be loved]] -- despite her showing no remorse for her actions, all of which she did with sickeningly sadistic glee -- and she ultimately ends up being [[KarmaHoudini punished with hugs, visitation rights, and being treated nicely because she's family]]. Tellingly, Eurus is commonly cited as the reason reviewers disliked Season 4 and consider "The Final Problem" such a contentious episode. |
| 372 | * ''Series/SixFeetUnder'': Lisa. The [[{{ClingyJealousGirl}} Clingy Jealous]] GranolaGirl {{Housewife}} and tedious RomanticFalseLead. [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot A waste of perfectly good Lili Taylor.]] |
| 373 | * ''Series/{{Smallville}}'': |
| 374 | ** Lana Lang. Many fans also consider her a CreatorsPet, because the writers seem to refuse to do anything interesting with her character that contributes positively to the story. The fact that she is a troublemaking SatelliteLoveInterest that Clark never gets over, the whole thing a RomanticPlotTumor that drags on and on and on until you scream in frustration doesn't help. Although some of it seemed to finally get into the producers' heads in Season 8, when they acknowledged that it is Lana who holds Clark back from his destiny and actually had a TakeThatScrappy speech delivered to her by a minor character calling her out for her constant whining and self-pitying all her life ("Power"). |
| 375 | ** Davis Bloom. In season 8, [[spoiler: he was the BigBad, Doomsday. Fans hated his look, but they hated his relationship with Chloe even more. Killing Jimmy Olsen didn't help either]]. |
| 376 | * ''Series/{{Smash}}'': |
| 377 | ** Leo Houston, Julia's whiney, snot nosed teenage son. He even kept complaining to her mother's writing partner Tom, convinces his boyfriend to help get a drug charge swept under the rug, and kept it from Julia. |
| 378 | ** Michael Swift, he begins an affair with Julia. Sure affairs happen, except he has a loving wife and newborn son. Where Julia is trying to rebuild her marriage he simply doesn't give a damn about his wife. |
| 379 | ** Daisy Parker, sure at first you feel sorry for her, losing her job because Derek slept with her. Then after exploiting her lawsuit to get Ana fired, she immediately goes full on Diva mode, becoming a pain in the ass to the entire cast and crew of ''Hit List''. |
| 380 | ** All of these however can't hold a candle to [[JerkAss Jimmy]] [[ItsAllAboutMe Collins]]. A talented composer yes, but his attitude and constant whining and demands, who treats his friends like dirt. Even after the many times he gets called out, and half-assedly apologizes, it can be well assumed that he has [[AesopAmnesia conveniently forgotten the lesson]]. Only Ellis can claim to be more hated than him, and [[HateSink Ellis was outright intended to be hated]], where as it's clear the audience is meant to applaud Jimmy's [[SmallNameBigEgo unearned]] [[TheDiva Divaish personality]]. Many fans blame him for being the final nail in the coffin that eventually led to the show's cancellation. |
| 381 | * ''Series/SonsOfAnarchy'': Gemma Teller-Morrow gradually became the scrappy of the show. While she initially was more of a BaseBreakingCharacter, she started to take up more focus in plotlines that didn't even center around her. Too many times she got away with her actions and barely suffered consequences for it. It all culminated when she killed [[spoiler: her daughter-in-law]] and put the blame on someone else which instigated the main conflict of the final season where she also barely suffered the consequences herself, which was very frustrating to watch. Not only that but her eventual death was very obviously played for sympathy which came off as completely unearned. It certainly doesn't help that she got away with [[spoiler: the murder of her former husband, her [[TheProtagonist son's]] biological father]], but she show completely ignores it. |
| 382 | * ''Series/StargateUniverse'': Chloe. All the negative aspects of TheLoad, TooDumbToLive and MsFanservice all rolled into one neat little package... in season one. [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap In season two]] the writers apparently noticed this and bestowed her with alien knowledge which eventually allowed her to become a valuable asset to the ship. She pretty much becomes an IronWoobie and a badass. |
| 383 | * ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'': |
| 384 | ** The show had Ezri Dax, the seventh season's ReplacementScrappy, who filled in after Jadzia was killed. Animosity eventually cooled, though, and the character soon developed a fanbase of her own as people became willing to view her apart from her "replacing-a-well-loved-character" status--a curious case of Hindsight leading to RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap. |
| 385 | ** Vic Fontaine gathered significant haters, not because he was a terrible character in his own right, but because he showed up in the back half of the final season and [[CharacterFocus took up a lot of screentime]] right when a lot of the ongoing plot arcs that viewers were heavily invested in were wrapping up and everything was revving up for the big finale, making any time spent fooling around in the holosuite feel wasted. (Many fans had the same objection to "Take Me Out to the Holosuite," a non-Vic-related holosuite episode.) |
| 386 | ** Quark's mother Ishka. Now at the end of the day, it's obvious why they don't have a happy relationship: He is a misogynist who treats women like property and she is a staunch advocate for women's rights on a planet where women are treated like dirt. However not only does she very blatantly favour Rom (with some UnfortunateImplications that it is solely because he in no way acts like a Ferengi male) but she doesn't seem to give any concern ''whatsoever'' that her actions may completely ruin Quark's life from the literal loss of his livelihood and assets to their government threatening to kill him. Even after Quark rescues her from the largest and most dangerous power in the galaxy while nearly getting killed in the process she ''still'' hates him in her next appearance "Profit and Lace" seeing absolutely no problem in the world using him against his will and ''forcing him to undergo a sex change''. There is a difference between destroying your son's life in a ''Needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few'' kind of way and just outright not giving a crap. |
| 387 | *** The worst part: Ishka's first episode has her as ''much'' more sympathetic, complex and likable--and even ends with the implication that she and Quark are on their way to repairing their past animosity. Her very next episode, however, arguably began the {{Flanderization}} process. It doesn't help that [[TheOtherDarrin she's played by a different actress from that point on.]] |
| 388 | *** It certainly didn't help matters when, in "Ferengi Love Songs," Ishka casually told Quark that he was wrong to break a contract with another Ferengi, even though fulfilling that contract (with Brunt in the earlier episode "Body Parts") would have required Quark to ''kill himself.'' |
| 389 | * ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'': |
| 390 | ** T'Pol ''could'' have been an interesting character; after all we have never had a female Vulcan main character before and the prequel format opened a whole tree of possibilities for the Human-Vulcan dynamic. The problem was that they made her instantly dislikeable by not only making her a racist who tried to pick at just about every facet of human culture and society she could but did it in an extraordinarily bitchy way that usually amounted to little more than easily refuted straw man arguments, such as the time when she tried to claim that humans were carnivores while sitting there watching Archer eat a bread stick. The final nail in the coffin was when they decided to give her some of the most shamelessly juvenile fanservice of the franchise including multiple scenes where they stripped her down to tight skimpy underwear. Like most things on the show she improved immensely by season four but the overall damage was irreparable by this point. |
| 391 | ** When it comes to fan polls, Archer is almost universally the least-liked captain of the five. The most quoted reasons nearly always include the fact that he committed willing genocide (''Dear Doctor''), that he has a hypocritical ''do as I say not as I do'' view of right and wrong (''Fortunate Son''), that he is a borderline racist who is willing to put lives at risk instead of asking the Vulcans for help (''Breaking the Ice'') and that he is willing to jeopardize the lives of his whole crew due to problems caused solely by his ego (''A Night In Sickbay''). Like T'Pol, he is generally regarded as being RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap by season four, but unfortunately it was far too late for him. |
| 392 | * ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'': |
| 393 | ** Dr. Pulaski. Pulaski replaced Dr. Crusher as the ship's doctor for a single season before fan outcry got them to bring Dr. Crusher back. As often happens in life, first impressions are everything. Not only was she a ReplacementScrappy, but the writers made a major miscalculation in their attempt to make her a DistaffCounterpart of [[TheMcCoy Dr. McCoy]] from the original series. Since [=McCoy's=] arguments with Spock were such a fan favorite aspect of the character, the writers tried to duplicate it by having Pulaski take a dislike to [[TheSpock Data]] and toss him similar insults about being so logical all the time. Unfortunately, unlike Spock, Data couldn't even really understand that he was being insulted and could not respond in kind -- they missed that at least half of what made the Bones/Spock relationship so great was that Spock would zing [=McCoy=] right back, Vulcan-style. Also, Data is very rarely wrong, so Pulaski's mockery of Data's aping of human traits makes her seem like a bigot bullying a mentally disabled person. Other than Pulaski, every TNG character who has expressed doubt in Data's sentience has been labeled a villain. Ironically, the ''real'' [=McCoy=] had already met Data in the first episode of the series and was nicer to him than Pulaski! Worse, Pulaski behaved boorishly to Captain Picard in her very first scene. If an incoming department head tried that in a Naval ship, she'd probably be tossed overboard. The character mellowed out by her second episode, but the damage was done. Diana Muldaur left the show on less-than-harmonious terms; a mess all around. However, some fans at least acknowledge that she was a competent and intelligent doctor. (And a good actress, as her two parts in classic ''Trek'' show.) |
| 394 | ** Acting Ensign Wesley Crusher. A classic case of a (and [[Administrivia/RenamedTropes former]] {{Trope Namer|s}} of) CreatorsPet. He could have been a fun character, embodying a dream of many a fan. A geeky teen genius who's allowed to be a part of the crew and explore the universe. He could have provided insights and solve some problems, but no. He had to meddle in everything, he had to be shamelessly praised by everybody and he solved virtually every major problem or crisis. Of course, [[IdiotBall everyone around him had to take a sharp drop in IQ]] for this to work, which did not help his popularity with viewers. As with Pulaski, Wesley's reputation as a Scrappy can be traced back to his first appearances: As early as Season Two, Wesley was portrayed as fallible and prone to self-doubt, and in later seasons, he was written out of the main cast and reduced to a guest character, whom even gets a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech from Picard himself. Referenced in ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' when Sheldon referred to [[AdamWesting actor]] Creator/WilWheaton as "the [[TheScrappy/{{Film}} Jar-Jar Binks]] of the ''Star Trek'' fandom".[[note]]Which is kind of odd, as the now-adult Wheaton is actually ''quite'' popular with ... people who identify with the core Big Bang cast, even those who ''hated'' Wesley.[[/note]] [[CreatorBacklash Wil Wheaton himself]] wrote in his Next Generation episode reviews that he frequently yells "Shut up Wesley!" at his younger self. His initial demotion to a guest character was eventually met with a more permanent PutOnABus when he joined the Travelers in the final season, and he disappeared from the franchise for a long time until [[spoiler:a surprise guest appearance on ''Series/StarTrekPicard'' where he shows none of the negative qualities he possessed as a kid]]. |
| 395 | ** Alexander, Worf’s son on paper could’ve been an intriguing addition to the series but in practice he simply took up Wesley’s reins of being the insufferable progeny. Telling the only time fans truly liked Alexander was in regard to his FutureBadass self. |
| 396 | * ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'': |
| 397 | ** Neelix. ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMeXiD4A6Uo Die, hedgehog!]]) His sometimes overbearing cheer (especially when he's trying to get Tuvok to act less like what he is, viz, a Vulcan), the condescending and jealous way he treated Kes during their relationship, [[LethalKlutz his bumbling occasionally being an outright danger to the lives of the crew]] (in one episode he almost destroyed the ship in an attempt to ''make cheese''), and the fact that missions he was brought on as a local expert tended to end ''horribly'', did not endear him to fans. Although he admittedly had an interesting and tragic backstory, it was not usually brought up, and while the show gave many TakeThatScrappy moments to him later on, he didn't change that much. |
| 398 | ** Chakotay has this among American Indian Trekkies (as well as the actor himself!) for EthnicScrappy [[MagicalNativeAmerican reasons]]. |
| 399 | ** The entire Kazon species basically constituted one of these on the first two seasons of ''Series/StarTrekVoyager''. In spite of the fact that the entire species seemed to be rock-stupid and technologically backwards, ''Voyager'' somehow managed not only to keep running into them, but to keep running into the ''same'' ones. Later in the series, the writers themselves took shots at the Kazon by revealing that the Borg took a pass on assimilating them on the grounds that doing so would undermine their perfection. Their role as a major power in the Delta quadrant seems an AssPull as well. On the first episode they are shown, they are depicted as a small nomadic slave-trading tribe always on the move to find vital water supplies... but the minute Neelix pisses them off, out comes the armada of ''Voyager''-level warships always on ''Voyager'''s tail. It's almost like refusing change to a bum on the subway only to find you pissed off [[Film/TheGodfather Don Corleone.]] |
| 400 | *** They were given a minimal amount of CharacterDevelopment, namely how they were once slaves of the Trabe, whom they overthrew and looted their technology. This was probably meant as a HandWave as to why people [[InsufficientlyAdvancedAlien that rock-stupid]] could have functioning starships. |
| 401 | *** It doesn't help that this attempt to create "Klingons for the Delta Quadrant" came off less the Klingons' "Space Vikings" [[PlanetOfHats hat]] and more "Space Gangbangers". |
| 402 | *** Water is also the second most common molecule in the universe (after H2), so the notion of them having warp-capable spaceships while struggling to find enough water was particularly hilarious. |
| 403 | * ''Series/StrangerThings'': Powell and Callahan during the Season 1, due to their LackOfEmpathy and incredible tasteless jokeless from Callahan. It seemed that the writers noted of this too, as their roles were reduced in the second and third seasons. |
| 404 | * ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'': |
| 405 | ** Ruby was hated before she even debuted, thanks to [[TrollingCreator inflammatory press releases claiming that she was a new hunter being introduced who was better than Sam and Dean]]. Fan-hate only grew when she started to come between the brothers and seemed to be encouraging Sam's dark side, which made the brothers have their first real rift in their relationship (and made fans take sides with their preferred brother, [[BrokenBase breaking the fanbase]] for the first--but not last--time). |
| 406 | ** Fans liked [[spoiler:Metatron]] well enough... until it was revealed that he was manipulating [[EnsembleDarkhorse Castiel]] for his own ends and he [[spoiler:cast all the angels out of Heaven after killing Naomi]] for the sake of (misplaced) [[DisproportionateRetribution vengeance]]. In the space of ''one episode'', he went from loved to hated. Don't be surprised if fans now say he's worse than [[{{Satan}} Lucifer]]. This got even worse in season 9, where the writers can't seem to decide whether they want him to be a smart and dangerous MagnificentBastard or an IneffectualSympatheticVillain who just wants people to like him, resulting in him constantly switching between the two rather contradictory personalities, sometimes within the span of a single episode. Also not helping is his tendency for his schemes to rely more on giving other characters the IdiotBall than actually doing something clever himself. |
| 407 | ** Amelia brought in as a love interest for Sam in the first half of Season 8. She was received so badly by the fandom that not only did the writers acknowledge it, she received only a single scene in the [[PreviouslyOn Season Finale Recap]] despite being in a third of the season's episodes. Part of why she's so hated is that the writers intended for her to be the reason why Sam quit hunting and didn't look for Dean. |
| 408 | * ''Franchise/SuperSentai'': |
| 409 | ** Toshizo Tanba from ''Series/SamuraiSentaiShinkenger'', who has no respect for [[TheHero Takeru]] or his vassals, and dismisses Genta for not having been born a samurai even though Genta has fought bravely with the others for most of the series. Even after Takeru is appointed as rightful leader of the clan, Tanba continues to be loud, arrogant and overbearing, only shutting up when [[PerpetualFrowner Kaoru]] hits him with her fan. It would seem that he wises up in the end and delivers a crucial item to eventually score the ultimate victory, looking more humble that way. However, when he returned with Kaoru in ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger'', he reverted to his old {{Jerkass}} ways, thus possibly annulling all the good thing he did in the ''Shinkenger'' finale. |
| 410 | ** ''Series/GoseiSentaiDairanger'''s Kou/Kiba Ranger prior to his CharacterDevelopment, for [[SpotlightStealingSquad hogging the spotlight]], sexually harassing Rin and bringing too much goofiness to scenes that should be serious. His case isn't helped by his being the first child Ranger, when a lot of fandom dislikes child characters on principle. |
| 411 | ** A large number of fans have [[BaseBreakingCharacter mixed opinions]] for the so-called "screaming Reds": a group of Red Rangers from the mid to late 2000s who were loud, zany, hyperactive and so exaggerated they could have been cartoon characters. [[Series/NinpuuSentaiHurricaneger Yousuke]], [[Series/TokusouSentaiDekaranger Ban]], [[Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger Kai]], [[Series/JukenSentaiGekiranger Jan]] and [[Series/EngineSentaiGoOnger Sosuke]] tend to be lumped into this category. |
| 412 | *** While he's not a "screaming Red", [[Series/TensouSentaiGoseiger Alata]] also catches a lot of flack from certain fans due to being "too emotional" and "not manly enough" -- despite the fact that he's the series' biggest {{Determinator}}. Though he gets [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap saved]] in the ''[[Film/GokaigerGoseigerSuperSentai199HeroGreatBattle 199 Hero Great Battle]]'' movie along with the other Goseigers for their aggressive behavior and [[TookALevelInBadass taking one more step beyond being Badass]]. |
| 413 | *** ''Series/TokumeiSentaiGoBusters'' has Hiromu Sakurada, who unfortunately gets a lot of hate for being "not cool" unlike [[Series/SamuraiSentaiShinkenger Takeru Shiba]] as well for his {{Wangst}}. He's also the reason for the unpopularity of ''Go-Busters''. |
| 414 | *** Daigo Kiryu from ''Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger'' is a BaseBreakingCharacter example. While he has a sizable number fans (due to being an awesome MemeticBadass), is also labelled by his detractors as one of the most disliked Red Rangers, if not the widely despised Red Ranger of recent times, thanks to a combination of SpotlightStealingSquad and factors of ridiculous levels that pretty much outshades the entire team, despite the fact that he always says "We're a Sentai!" to his own teammates. |
| 415 | *** Also from the same series we got Souji Rippukan, to a lesser extent, who doesn't get much characterization, since the main writer Riku Sanjo has no idea what's going with him. |
| 416 | *** Takaharu Igasaki from ''Series/ShurikenSentaiNinninger'' shares the same case with Daigo. When he first debuted, he's... an extremely obnoxious IdiotHero, prone to yell [[CatchPhrase "I'M GETTING FIRED UUUUPPP!!!"]] nearly OncePerEpisode, and many sees his acting as rather bad, made worse that [[SpotlightStealingSquad he's getting a lot of attention]], even for Red standards. As the show goes on, however, [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap his actor gradually improved his acting]], his CatchPhrase is slowly being phased out and when he did say that, it comes more naturally as being HotBlooded, and not only he developed some good logical thinking and insight while keeping his IdiotHero status (which by the way, often being made fun of by the cast), he gets less and less focus episodes, letting others have their own spotlight. However, by that time, it was like the fandom went silent on the show, so the jury is still not yet out about whether he has been completely RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap or not. |
| 417 | ** Princess Ial from ''Series/HikariSentaiMaskman'' holds Scrappy status among fans in Indonesia and the Philippines, where the show is very popular due to official dubs that aired there. Tends to be for DieForOurShip reasons and because she's seen as a FlatCharacter and SatelliteLoveInterest. |
| 418 | ** By normal standards, if there's a recurring group that fans to dislike, it's the little children who got to the spotlight just so the Sentai can save them. Sure, the rescue would look awesome, but it gets ''irritating'' to hear the kid screaming for help near 24/7. Thankfully, though, it seems to mostly exist in old school series, new series doesn't use 'kids screaming for help' too often. And then there's ''Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger'' where [[BigBad Bandora]] makes it her modus operandi to target this kind of kids, because [[ChildHater she hates them]]. [[BrokenBase Some fans understand this and thinks this all makes sense so they'll excuse these kids for these shows, some thinks that it decreases Zyuranger's quality because of those kids.]] At the very least, these kids were usually lasting only for one episode. But God help any children characters who became a recurring supporting cast. It's not just Rangers (like the aforementioned Kou), just a recurring cast member who's a kid can also earn ire (including [[Series/SeijuuSentaiGingaman Yuta]], [[Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger Mai]], [[Series/JukenSentaiGekiranger Natsume]], [[Series/TensouSentaiGoseiger Nozomu]]). Strangely, this will ''never'' happen to villainous kids like either [[Series/ChoujinSentaiJetman Tran]] or [[Series/GoseiSentaiDairanger Akomaru]]. |
| 419 | [[/folder]] |
| 420 | |
| 421 | [[folder:T-V]] |
| 422 | * ''Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles'': Riley attained this status in almost ''record'' time. The fandom does ''not'' like her, especially the perception that she [[DieForOurShip gets in the way]] of the popular John/Cameron [[{{Shipping}} ship]]. [[spoiler:Was rescued somewhat by the revelation she was from the future and there explicitly to turn John and Cameron against each other.]] |
| 423 | * ''Series/That70sShow'': Randy Pearson, for being Eric's SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute and a ReplacementScrappy while trying to replace Kelso at the same time. |
| 424 | * The final three episodes of ''Series/ThreesCompany'' basically served as a means to set up its [[SpinOff spin-off]] ''Three's a Crowd'', in which the entire cast save for Creator/JohnRitter's [[Characters/ThreesCompany Jack Tripper]] would be [[FromTheAshes cast aside]]. These episodes introduced Jack's love interest for ''Three's a Crowd'', Vicky Bradford (played by Mary Cadorette) and her father James (played by Robert Mandan). The fundamental problems with Vicky was due to how she was both written and how she was played. On ''Three's Company'', the audience had spent all of these years watching Jack date all of these sexually mature women with decent heads on their shoulders. But by the very end of the series, he all of a sudden, hooks up with this [[VanillaProtagonist drip]] of a woman who almost seems like a [[{{Manchild}} little girl]]. Vicky is [[SpoiledBrat still relying on her parents]] and acting like she's never been in a relationship before. Meanwhile, it simply wasn't fun nor funny to see a [[NiceGuy nice guy]] like Jack constantly have to put up with and [[AintTooProudToBeg grovel for the approval]] of a [[{{Jerkass}} jerk]] like James. You never really understood getting why the friction between Jack and James was warranted since Jack never really gave James a justifiable reason for him to be angry with him in the first place. |
| 425 | * ''Series/TicTacDough'': The rapping dragon which was introduced in the middle of the short-lived 1990 run has often been condemned as the single most cringeworthy element of a generally ill-conceived and badly hosted revival. |
| 426 | * ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'' Owen, an apparent attempt to create a [[TheCharmer Jack-the-Lad]] type character that failed dismally. In the story world he's supposed to be some kind of [[TheCasanova love god]], but Creator/BurnGorman is strangely froglike and charm-free. It doesn't help that when we first see him he's getting women to sleep with him by using a special spray he nicked from Torchwood supplies that made him irresistible (which more than a few fans saw as essentially Owen raping unwilling sexual partners). However, in the second series, the writers acknowledged all of this and early on took constant digs at him. [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap His popularity increased]] with his character arc through the second season, only for [[spoiler:him to be [[AlasPoorScrappy killed off]] in a heartbreaking final episode]]. |
| 427 | * ''Series/VeronicaMars'': |
| 428 | ** Piz. Everyone in the fandom hates Piz, apparently even the actor because he planned to leave after the season if the show hadn't been cancelled. |
| 429 | ** In a strange case, Dick, was universally reviled by everyone as well, including the cast, the crew, and even his Creator Rob Thomas despised him, but was kept around because everybody loved his actor Ryan Hansen and wanted to keep working with him. |
| 430 | * ''Series/{{V 2009}}'': Tyler. Even allowing for the fact he's a teenage boy, he's stupid and blinded by hormones. Doesn't help that he's dating [[DatingCatwoman Lisa]]. The feeling is largely based on his "oh, shiny sexy aliens" expression mixed with the whiny "The Vs are awesome, you just don't understand me" thing he's got going. It certainly doesn't help that he's so much of an UnwittingPawn that he's falling for plans that ''didn't even have him in mind'', despite [[spoiler:his own V girlfriend secretly]] trying to save him from what is surely an unpleasant death. [[spoiler:When he does get killed by those same aliens in a particularly gruesome manner, the general reaction was a resounding "Finally!".]] |
| 431 | [[/folder]] |
| 432 | |
| 433 | [[folder:W-Z]] |
| 434 | * ''Series/TheWestWing'': Mandy. [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome She disappeared without a trace from Season 2 onward]]. A lot of Mandy's Scrappiness was her inability to fit in with the compassionate, quirky, slightly bumbling, bleeding-heart, idealistic senior staff. As the public relations person, a lot of her interactions with the cast would be her trying to talk them out of doing the right thing in favor of the more photogenic thing (e.g. wanting the [=SCOTUS=] nominee who was Ivy League educated but had disquieting beliefs about right-to-privacy over the retired Latino cop who went to night school to pass the bar but has a solidly liberal judicial record). Unlike most TV shows, every single main character on ''The West Wing'' was a member of one single [[TrueCompanions unified, close-knit team]], and Mandy, being the only exception and not a very important one at that, was left floating. |
| 435 | * ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'': Every female guest performer in the US version (with the exception of Josie Lawrence who was quite popular in the UK version) seems to get negative reception from most fans, except for one. Creator/WhoopiGoldberg managed to become an EnsembleDarkhorse and she's quite popular with the fans. If we're going by Website/YouTube comments, then she's considered the best female performer of the entire series. She only performed in [[OneSceneWonder one taping!]] Even fans who like much of the female performers didn't warm to Kathy Greenwood, who seemed out of place among the more outspoken other cast members, didn't have many funny lines to speak of, and once went an ''entire episode [[TheVoiceless without saying anything.]]'' |
| 436 | * ''Series/TheWonderYears'': Winnie Cooper draws the ire of many fans of the show. For one, she is a main character, but is particularly bland, with no discernible character traits that made her shine. And this on a show where she was surrounded by distinct personalities in virtually every character, even minor characters. She's essentially a "Jane Everywoman" who could be replaced if it weren't for the "''GirlNextDoor''" arc. Two, she is often seen as a major JerkAss to Kevin throughout the show, yet he continues to pine for her. However, it must be noted that the show is about adolescence, and Kevin is plenty a jerkass himself. Thus, teenagers will be jerkasses who will hurt the ones they love. However, several minor characters introduced either for one episode, or over a several-episode arc, have been more well received by fans as love interests for Kevin. In particular, Madeline Adams, who is often a fan favorite. Madeline is in turn made out to be a jerkass by Kevin. Although fans debate whether her behavior was '''actual''' jerkass behavior, or just behavior of someone who was sick of seeing Kevin wrapped around Winnie's finger. Especially given Winnie's disinterest in Kevin during that story arc. |
| 437 | * ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess'': Joxer, at least between seasons 2 and 4 for hogging screentime. When the fans finally started to tolerate him around season 5, the writers killed him off. |
| 438 | * ''Series/TheXFiles'': Special Agent Diana Fowley was loathed by a vast majority of [[FanCommunityNickname X-Philes]]. She was not meant to be likeable, but fans hated her even more than the writers anticipated. She was assigned to the X-Files cases when Mulder and Scully were ReassignedToAntarctica and she soon revealed herself as a rat collaborating with TheConspiracy. Moreover, she was forced as a RomanticFalseLead and OldFlame to Mulder, so naturally especially fans invested in shipping Mulder and Scully hated her. Her final deeds and death redeemed her a little, but there was hardly a fan who shed a tear for her. Despite often savagely skewering all involved, the notorious parody fanfiction (and the Scullysland website) of fan [=DFowley=] became and remains very popular with the show's producers and cast, as well as other fans, including Shippers. Somewhat ironically, [=DFowley=] is male. |
| 439 | * ''Series/XPlay'': |
| 440 | ** Despite being the main reviewers on the show, Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb could qualify. Post-SeasonalRot, they suffered from massive {{Flanderization}} that made them seem to worship Microsoft, no matter how bad their games are, as well as massive backlash from the HePannedItNowHeSucks train of thought. |
| 441 | ** Ever since the G4/Tech TV merger, '''everyone''' seems to have become a scrappy. The exceptions seem to be Creator/KevinPereira (who [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap saved himself]] by becoming a bit of a LargeHam and [[ShownTheirWork actually knowing his stuff]]), [[GenkiGirl Alison]] [[TheCutie Haislip]], Blair Butler (who has shown that she really is JustForFun/OneOfUs) and Leyla Kayleigh. |
| 442 | ** Tommy Tallarico and Victor Lucas of ''Reviews on the Run'' and ''Judgment Day'' deserve special mention as the former's credibility in being involved in game music was shot by basically being a frat boy, [[KickTheDog nixing ratings darlings like Psychonauts]] in favor of [[DistractedByTheSexy DOA games and the like,]] Lucas ''never'' pronouncing Japanese game titles and characters' names right, a general knack for not doing their research, using the 10 point rating scale ''X-Play'' is specifically ''against'' and shilling a game they previous deemed a failure. Series/XPlay hung on for a few more years while ''Judgemnet Day'' cancelled a short time later, though ''Reviews on the Run'' outlasted ''X-Play'' by several years. |
| 443 | ** Victor and Tommy may have parted ways, but Victor Lucas continued reviewing games on ''Reviews On The Run'' with an entire ensemble of crew members. Jose "FUBAR" Sanchez could be considered The Scrappy of the team, as he is the least vocal during his reviews and appears to not be taken seriously by other cast members. |
| 444 | * ''Series/YoureTheWorst'': Becca Cottumaccio-Barbara. While all the other characters are heavily flawed people that veer into straight-up {{jerkass}}ery on many occasions, they all still get some humanizing moments that show the kinder sides underneath their rough exteriors and at least some bits of backstory to explain their current personalities/actions. Becca, however, is a [[ItsAllAboutMe self-absorbed]] and [[SmallNameBigEgo egotistical]] StepfordSmiler obsessed with keeping up appearances who acts like she's so above everyone else but is really [[NotSoAboveItAll just as petty and immature]] as the others, if not ''more''. |
| 445 | * ''Series/{{Zoey 101}}'': James, the ReplacementScrappy for Chase. In the first episode he gets intoduced he becomes part of the group, Zoey's love interest and every girl instantly falls in love with him. |
| 446 | %%** Zoey Brooks herself is hated for being considered either [[CanonSue too perfect]] or [[FlatCharacter boring]], barely having to work hard at managing two businesses over the course of the show, so it's no surprise that she's on practically every sports team and is the object of every boy's affection. |
