Characters You Hate!

Is it too early to start hating on the new characters? There is just something about Thomas's voice/attitude that is grating. I am pretty sure that is how we are supposed to feel but if Michael wasn't so exhausted no way he would have let them take Riley off alone and scold them like toddlers. "Don't go wandering" I know you are a soldier and probably under orders not to disclose any information but given I don't think you have survivors showing up on your tarmac everyday you would think you might treat them a little more humanely. /rant

[QUOTE=Professor Woland;33958]It has to be Datu. All he ever does is shout "Michael!" in ever more pathetic tones. AMEN!

I am starting to get annoyed by Datu. Not enough for wanting him to be the next to die. I do hope that he gets less whiny soon.

I wonder if there is anyone in the UK who didn't detest Pippin! I know he was only in it for like five minutes or something, but five minutes of torture can feel like an eternity. I heard Casey say once that he didn't watch The Walking Dead for fear of unintentionally copying what he'd seen. All I can say is he must have seen Mary Poppins a dozen times at least! Cor Blimey mate!
Had Pippin had survived, then I was going to start a petition to have him spit-roasted on his own chimney-sweeps brush.

I don't know why, but my hatred for Scratch has morphed into a big ol' crush. She has such an attractive voice!

Scratch bugged me at first, too over the top. Thinking on it more though, she would have to be over the top to survive in that element/with that group.
Angel got 'mind punched' when he said 'lowly specialist' but he got better (when he wasn't whining).
Michael (character) bugs me when he lets everyone get away with 3-5 round bursts instead single fire. (the actor) the voice acting feels too scripted sometimes, especially when the intensity ramps up
Datu... omfg Datu... He whines way too much, should have gotten slapped by now. But on top of that the voice acting kills me. Too broken, too forced.
...and all of them when they do stupid shit.

I'm with you on that. I loved her nasty little sarcastic.. "You better start running". Before that I wanted her dead in the worst way. I think the actress is brilliant!!!!

I am not from the UK but did not like Pippin a bit. His death made me smile. In the beginning I was a Kelly hater but she is now off of that list. Whiny Datu got real annoying but he has actually been his old self (imho) as of late so I took him off the list as well.

This is rather easy for me Pippin, I just couldn't stand him for some reason (it may be because I'm from the UK) but when he died i was rather happy.

Datu! He drives me nuts! Every time he whines or freaks out my blood pressure goes up. Or it feels like it does anyways. =P

I completely agree with this.

no matter what kelly will never get any redemption in my eyes, mainly because i dated/fell head over heels in love with a guy that had a mother like that...but about 30 times worse, and in your last few days of life being completely discredited no matter what good you do (and by the way tommy did way more for them than she did, cameras and all), and being treated like dirt that's just sad, she took her frustrations out on a child that was probably going through and taking it way worse than her but at least kept it together, he kept his own stress plus half of kelly's, she may have made an excuse later, but when she tried to get him kicked out of the tower...there is no excuse <_<
so yeah, kelly all the way, i loathe her
and for the record i am a guy, i just feel like somebody is going to see the "i dated a guy that..." thing and assume that i am a woman, just want to clear up any confusion ^.^

#1 Character that I just hate: PEGS.
Let's see how many stupid things she's done: She called the zombies over by knocking over that pot over the balcony, She got a cat she wasn't sure could be infected or not risking EVERYONE's lives, zombie apocalypse and she REFUSES to use a gun because she doesn't believe in them oh but it's ok if everyone Else uses them to protect her, It was her idea to have the party that incapacitated everyone to the point they couldn't properly protect themselves against the mallers, acts like she's in high school when she sees Riley hugging Michael, asks Angel to take back Scratch body so that 'she can sleep at night' seriously risk THEIR lives so that she can sleep better, and finally abandons Michael when he needs her to most because it 'goes against her principles'. Just kill her character off already. Michael should be with Riley anyways :)

Pegs just for the simple fact that she wouldn't pick up a weapon! Not someone that would watch my back. Great voice acting, just i dislike the toon

Agreed, she's a liability. Michael should stay well clear of Riley though.

I whole heatedly agree with this. At first I couldn't stand Kelly (I'm only at Chapter 19 so no spoilers please), but Pegs just drives me nuts. She's absolutely useless in any situation. "Pegs, throw me that rifle!" Gunfire, gunfire... "[Pegs] You want me to throw it to you!?" For crying out loud, Pegs. She's only helpful on accident and I swear the only way she'll save anyone is if she falls down while the others are being chased by biters. :mad:

character i hate....hmmmm
scratch

i love scratch as a character shes evil and plotting and vendictive and bat shit crazy, but at the same time shes the bad guy, we're ment to hate her, its going to be weird as hell if she ever ends up working along side the band of survivors we so knowingly love

actually i have to agree with the whole pegs things, she does seem completely fucking useless. she can redeem herself but sticks to who she is as a person, the world has changed she should just turn around do a complete 180 and become a gun loving short, sweet but deadly rambo type chick, hopefully she'll do something stupid and step on a landmine that way he dead can be comical aswell as sudden, unexpected but completely worth it

Scratch is such a brilliantly written character and Jenna McCombie does a hell of a job with the VA. Scratch touches on one specific thing you don't see addressed in a lot of survivor horror. Sure we get the dynamics and psychology of a group under serious stress in an end of the world scenario...but nobody really focuses on the "What if the psychopaths get loose?" question. Sure we see little "Stalins" pop up al a Marcus or "The Governor" in "The Walking Dead" GNs, but what if Ted Bundy took control of a group and there were no authorities to stop him? When I here McCrombie's voice and that silent little cadence to her speech, it chills. I do not hate Scratch, I dread her and McCrombie deserves an Audie for her portrayal.

Anyone else want to shoot Pegs in the head? At first she was useless, but now she's needy and it drives me out of my mind. The people I work with think I'm crazy because I talk to myself because she makes me sooooooo mad. And I don't want her to get carried off by a zombie, that would be too easy. I want a character to get angry and just off her (preferably in a painful way) because of how she acts. One thing that goes with this is I was super disappointed in what happened to Kalani, not so much that I like him, but because then the Tower people needed her so it would be impossible to kill her at that instance. Though if she dies Micheal will without fail turn into a sniveling idiot for a couple months and I really don't want to deal with a breakdown from him right now.

Also, I understand the sentiment to hate Riley, but I feel that her being unrealistically awesome is necessary because she has to make up for the dumb crap that Pegs and Lizzy and basically all other female characters do. I also feel that for a longer time her head was screwed on right and she could have actually helped Micheal but now not so much.

And Kelly was awful for me at first because she just stressed Micheal out, making his leadership worse, but now she's kinda awesome to me.

Fixed it. Positive rep now!

I just approved the fuck out of that message.

I can't stand Scratch.....well, maybe it's not her but the terrible acting.

dude, you must be like the anti osiris

I was thinking the same thing, but where did this Bizarro-Osiris come from? And what does it mean for our universe?

start looking for an alternate reaper, possibly a socialist, probably hates video games.

It's the one gripe I have with the series, her terrible acting. I like the concept of the character, but the "actor's" (in quotes for a reason) portrayal of the character is horrendous and ruins it for me. She sounds like a valley girl turned sociopath. Totally unconvincing, from the voice inflection to the tone and improper emphasis of key lines, it's just plain hacky. If someone made a movie about Paris Hilton becoming the dictator of some banana republic, then the actor that plays scratch might have a better shot at a convincing role.

In addition to that, it just doesn't fit. Someone that sadistic, with a brother in jail would be more rough around the edges, more coarse. Her vocabulary and delivery sounds too upper middle class for the character.

Maybe you just need to take a deep breath and shut the fuck up. You're off to a terrible start here, bro.

I can't agree with this. Are you saying that a sociopath/psychopath can't be highly intelligent or well educated?

No. In his world they can't be more intelligent than he is. It scares him.

I'm not too big on Pegs. She's such a pansy.

I think the actors are doing a great job, considering they seem to be reading their lines for the first time with direction from KC (as seen in some of the videos posted).

I agree! Kudos to them all for a fantastic job.

I hated everyone but Burt & Tanya at one point or still do.

I hated Burt for the way he treated Michael after the events after The War. Coincidentally, I started to like Tanya after The War.

I've had moments of disliking most of the characters at some point (I think that is a mark of great storytelling, BTW).

Michael when he turned all moody and basically tried to tell everyone to shove it
Burt for what YABC said above
Saul when he first went out on his lone wolf mission to find Lizzie (not for going but for how he acted/talked)
and many other cases involving most major characters....

But for the most part, I never warmed up to Angel. He had his moments (like working with Riley to track Datu down) but in general, I didn't ever really like him.

I am a fan of Pegs. There are times when she is annoying, but you have to consider that yet only Pegs was able to really hurt Scratch - by killing James/Latch. Without Pegs, there would most certainly no Scratch involvement. And we would not want that, would we?

WOAH WOAH WOAH WOOOAAAH there buddy!
Speaking as Scratch's wife here, my love's golden, buttery voice flows as smooth as the rolls on a Wisconsin chick's thighs and is the blanket that keeps me warm at night when I have an accident and pee in the bed and have to wash my down comforter at 3am, only to find it shrunken and torn and my washing machine filled with feathers on account of my long jagged toenails.

Thou shalt not insult my Scratchypoobear, I say thee nay.

I SAY THEE NAY AND GOOD DAY KIND SIR! I SAY GOOD DAY!

Scratches.....wife???

guess I can dig it.

Ps...lets not get that whole thing with geosiris started agian

Urge to kill.... rising....
