The comic or the show? In the comic, I'd get pissed at her a lot, and then I'd say
"well, she's pregnant." Never having been pregnant, I have no frame of reference for just how bitchy you're allowed to be.

That excuse runs thin when the dead are walking and trying to kill you.
 
I'm trying to find a way to reply to this thread without sounding like a massive SM fetishist. And, so far, failing.

So I'll just say sometimes I was rooting for the bad guys when I watched Power Rangers.

I almost made that mistake, but then I reread the thread title. I thought it said heroes you want to get slapped around by.

Who wouldn't want to be tied up by Catwoman or Powergirl? (Sorry, Wonder Woman is too obvious)
 
Cole from PvP.
UH-yeah I agree. He started out as the wise leader of the crew and then became some jack ass failed businessmen. Especially when Kurtz retconned it to how he hated Max Powers for stealing his girl-friend...when it was previously established that they hated him because he was a money obsessed jerk who didn't know he was a money obsessed jerk. In fact, I hate it how Max Powers is a nice character now. Max was best when he was an antagonist and now he doesn't even come close to being who he was when I was in freakin high school.

Rayne Sohmers from Least I could do. The guy faces no real conflict, and everything almost always turns out his way. I would be okay with it if not for the fact that he's a sexist douche-knuckle.

I don't mind Max now, but I do miss him being an oblivious douche. There are few things more frustrating than someone who doesn't know/believe that they're annoying.
 
And its what made him great to the plot! By just changing him from an oblivious douche to a closeted gay guy it takes away the impact of what he once was.
 
That was my instinct. But I don't know *just* how miserable that experience is. Not zombies, the other one. Although I can imagine. Both.
Every woman is different. Every pregnancy is different. Yadda yadda. Yes, it can make some women miserable and more emotional. However, I don't recall acting like a complete twat 90% of the time just because I was pregnant. I wouldn't care if a zombie tore Lori to shreds or another survivor killed her - pregnant or not. I dislike her that much.
 
Now I only read the first ish of Walking dead but I hate the main character for one reason and one reason only...Kirkman cheated. For one, he was in a coma for several months and after he wakes up never has to deal with muscel atrophy EVER! Also, he just HAPPENED to know where a stock-pile of weapons were because he was a cop and happened to still have a key. Realistic zombie story my ass, this series CHEATS.

Max was never a jerk. The PvP cast -thought- he was a jerk. The joke has always been that he was a nice, successful guy, and Cole and Brent hated him for it out of jealousy.

Yes, but keep in mind his turning from a some-what obnoxious character to a gay character was indeed a complete character change. I also don't like how since was outed(theoretically) in the pre-beard story-line it changed his personality completely. I mean he's just not as enjoyable as a secondary character as he was an antagonist.

Davis from Digimon season 2. Ignoring how he wasn't even CLOSE to being as cool as Tai, he never truly gave off the commanding leadership aura that a proper protagonist should. He was more a failed apprentice character than anything.

"You're... you're just like Woody Woodpecker. WOODY WOODPECKER! He was so darned obnoxious! I wanted to reach into the TV and crush the little red-headed jerk’s skull. I always felt sorry for the walrus... he just wanted to have a barbeque." - Clark Oppenheimer, to The Tick
 
I'm finishing up season 2, but Walter White's been a straight up villain the entire time. His motivations have always been selfish, he gets off on it. The excuse that always gets brandied about, doing it to have money for his family in the event that he passes, was first brought up by Jesse (in the form of a question) and Walt just run with it, because near as I can tell it's easier for him than facing his real motivations.
 
Mahatnas Ghandi. Now I know he did a lot for Indian civil rights, but the guy wasn't perfect. His wife died of sickness because Ghandi told her not to take medicine. But when he got the same sickness, he took medicine to get rid of it. That...is pretty damn hypocritical.
 
The Kid (played by Prince) from Purple Rain and Graffiti Bridge. He's the protagonist but he's just such a self-centered, wrapped up in his own genius douchebag. Kind of like Prince in real life, except The Kid occaisonally learns from his hubris.

Ferris Bueller from Ferris Bueller's day off. He falsified documents, lied about having a terminal illness, and goaded his actually sick friend into stealing his father's car. I don't what his bull-shit philosophy says, he is nothing more than some bourgeois white kid who will get away with anything and never face consequences. It is impossible for me as an adult to like this movie any more because of this.
Careful there, Yoshimickster ol' boy... I got told how very wrong I was in the Talk About the Last Movie thread when I expressed my own dislike for the leopard-vest-wearing Mary Stu that is Ferris Bueller ;)
 
Johnny Storm could use a slappin
Scarlett Witch could use a slappin
Every single lupus sapien and who ever dreamt up the idea in the first place
Superman could use a slappin
Power Girl could use a slappin

Dean Rooney was only doing his job. But so was Bueller. I cut class many a time in high school. Usually this girl and I would ditch home ec (after I doctored the attendance scantrons so we didn't get busted) to go get bagels.

He is isn't he? Also he's a cyber-terrorist since he hacked into the school's god-damn main-frame to get out of class! A guy does that shit today you'd get 5-30 years. Not Ferris though, because he is the protagonist and we have to root for him.

Not saying hackers should GET 30 years, but Ferris should've still learned from his damn actions rather than give a bull-shit message about doing whatever you want.
 
The Green Lantern Corps. Why? Because the entire idea is...policing space. Do you know how infinitesimal and gigantic space is? And the Oan elders actually think they could control sectors of it through basic laws. Also, the Oans in there infinite wisdom usually assign just a few space-cops to one sector. Right, because its not like they have the dumbest weakness ever-YELLOW! Yeah I know they changed it Parrallax energy but it's still silly. And its not like there invulnerable they are still mortal and what-not and green lantern constructs can be taken out with enough force.

Not saying I hate specific Green Lanterns, but the idea just gets silly after a while.
 
Note: I love the GL's.

That said, I don't tihnk the Lanterns needs a beating...its the Guardians. Holy SHIT don't they need to stop...BEING.

They fuck up every few issues.

Damn straight. Fucking lawful neutral jack-asses. They also thought a bunch of androids called the Manhunters were a wise choice for a police force. That would be okay if it were executed later....but this was their first space-police force. Because if anyone is great at upholding good and justice its emotionless machines!

On a similar topic, the Watchers from Marvel universe. "Ooh, we can't interfere because were way too powerful!" Fuck you guys. Uatu is the only one who does a damn thing, and you other guys just...watch. I always hate characters who CAN help people but just don't.
