What are some fictional characters that you feel are either hated on too much by people or at least don't get the respect they should deserve?
Characters you feel get too much hate
Sentry, Dr. Manhattan, and Kratos.
People hate these guys? Really?
Sentry, Dr. Manhattan, and Kratos.
People hate these guys? Really?
Yep.
@aros001: Kratos get's over looked because he's from a game, Sentry is really hated. Dr. Manhattan I haven't seen him associated with hate before.
Any hate is too much, and respect is nothing more than a cheap time-saving substitute for understanding. Both are manifestations of the fantasy of fundamental attributes that compel positive or negative appreciation from us, so any given character should be given neither.
I dislike characters that are unnecessary. Characters need to be a means to the end that is the artist's intent. When they are in their place in this manner, they justify themselves, justify my attention to them. Too many comic books assume that the characters are justified before I turn the first page. The arrogance of companies like Marvel and DC is twofold: first, they claim ownership of past ideas, and second, in the resulting monopolization of their conveyance, they become complacent and recycle those ideas while maintaining the self-important pretension of a "creative" company, which is enabled by the uncompetitive environment.
I think intellectual property should belong solely to the originator of an idea. This would incentivize creativity while avoiding situations where intellectual property becomes a haven for mediocrity.
Oh, and intellectual property should exist as a requirement to pay the originator an amount proportionate to the profitability of the idea, not the originator's entitlement to f*** with other people's creations with "cease and desist" BS.
Jane Foster.
Cyclops
Superman
@darthmummy: I'm pretty sure you're a robot.
@darthmummy: I'm pretty sure you're a robot.
People are saying this to me more and more frequently. Even people that can see my fleshy bits. *shrug*
Cyclops
I agree...well unless they hate him for leaving his wife and child for Jean.
Beyond that, hate characters get because people think they're "too" overrated or not as cool as others say like Wolverine, Hulk, Batman, etc., etc., etc.
Apocalypse.
Not hate exactly, But I think too many people underestimate how powerful he is or how powerful he is capable of being, But then who can blame them when so many writers have him jobbing to someone less powerful.
But that is just my opinion.
Obliviously this happens to other characters too, not just Apocalypse.
Superman
Current Harley Quinn.
Anakin Skywalker, easily.
Oh, and seconded.
lately? Goku.people are trying to get DBZ bannedby posting Goku vs Superman threads all day.
That's the DBZ fanboys don't even try...
PS- I said fanboys.
Fans doesn't equal fanboys.
Before anyone loses their mind.
Black Panther. He's the best ever and yet I don't hear too much about him.
He has fans :)
@iusemycajonas: Haha so true.
superman, but only because of the stupid idea hes "unbeatable".
yamcha. in most other verses hed be liked. but in dbz hes relentlessly mocked because he can barely win a major fight.
sakura. selfless and heroic, yet hated and mocked mostly because people are stuck in their hate for part 1 sakura, and cant see shes changed/become very strong and skilled.
Saitama (the anime it little [just little] overrated but his character it truly unique and funny), Jaune arc (most overhated underdog ever), Yamcha (at least he got his redeem now :p), Goku (all dat downplay), Superman (his character is boring and he overused but yeah he got too much hate)
Sakura
Sakura is widely hated, but that doesn't mean she gets TOO much hate, she earned every bit of that hatred
superman, but only because of the stupid idea hes "unbeatable".
yamcha. in most other verses hed be liked. but in dbz hes relentlessly mocked because he can barely win a major fight.
sakura. selfless and heroic, yet hated and mocked mostly because people are stuck in their hate for part 1 sakura, and cant see shes changed/become very strong and skilled.
Wow no, my hatred for Sakura came from part 2, part 1 was ok
