    Emma Frost.

    She’s a villain. Not a reformed villain, not an antihero. She’s an Enchantress wannabe straight up evil bitch.
    If ten years of recording The Young and the Restless for my mother have taught me anything, it's that characters in serial dramas are always happily in love...until they're not

    *sigh* This thread resurfaced again. Disappointing. I hate it with the passion of a thousand suns. Because here's the thing. It's offensive. Most characters in Marvel have a fanbase. Your insulting someone's taste when you attack a character they love. Just as no one would go into a Starbucks and announce a hatred of coffee to the consumer base of that Starbucks, no one should be discussing things they loathe about things other people fully enjoy. It's rude. And disrespectful. And selfish. Because it places your need to vent over others need to enjoy their fiction without negative input from a peanut gallery. What point does a thread like this serve other than getting people riled? I mean, no one is changing anyone's mind. Whenever I see people hate on my favorite character, I cast aspersions on that person's deplorably bad judgement and then love my fave character harder.

    Just focus on what you love, shouldn't be hard. Presumably we're all here because we love comics. I'm sure there is something in them that you love.

    Comics are an escape. And given the current state of the world, a much, much needed one. Let people have what little joy they can scrape together without having to be a freakin ant at a picnic, jesus.

    I dont hate any characters really. There are some I have less interest in of course. I have no interest in Deadpool for the most part.

    Hear that. If anything, the only thing that puts me off characters is oddly, some of their more militant fans and feat junkies.
    Hulk was a character I never much cared for, but the buzz over the current ongoing is seriously tempting me to change my mind.

    This is why I hate the times they did this to her. Because 55 years of history but now she's only reduced down to those two storylines. I miss her being written as being strong because she's holding a fraction of the power of an elder god and how much that takes to keep that under control. She wasn't like this for most of her history. Marvel has just lost sight of her.

    X-23 and Honey Badger, I'm old enough to remember when creating another clawed character that was related to Wolverine was confined to bad fan fiction.

    Hate is a strong word, and for the most part, there are few who I actively dislike, but...

    Punisher: Now, this one is a little strange. I do hate what he stands for. In my opinion, a classic superhero will do everything they can not to kill even the worst monsters in this world. Frank obviously goes against all that. He just kills and sees the world in a very black and white way. The idea of redemption and forgivness are lost on him. He has simply become the thing he hates most, a mindless killer. The resaon I say it is strang is because I do like how there is a character like that in the Marvel world. He makes for a great foil against the superheros of the world, and has had some great stories (I love Greg Rucka's Punisher book) In a way, I suppose what I hate is how some people see him as being a hero, as if he is doing the morally right thing. Another thing I dislike is how easily accepted the superheroes of the world take him. They reluctently remember he is around sometime, yet never seen to put much effort into doing somthing about him.

    Moon Girl: Its a shame. As a proud SJW, I should like the fact that Marvel added a PoC girl who is the smartest person in the world and has a pet dino... but I just cannot stand her. She has an arrogance around her that really makes her unlikable to me, and the way she treats Devil less as a patner and more as an anoying pet... yeah, I cannot stand her book.

    Quicksilver: Now, normally I rather like the arrogance of characters like Quentin and Namor, but like Moon Girl I really dislike Pietro. Perhaps it's just because I have not read too much with him, but he lacks any redeeming features I find.

    Havok: Granted, I was first introduced to him via his infamous Avenger speech & kinda being unsure about Northstars wedding, but even then I have not really seen anything that makes me think of him as more than a bland character.

    CWII-Carol: Really Marvel? You decide to give Carol a starring role in a major event, and that role is... mindless fascist? Great one. Thanks for doing that to my third favorite character...

    Deadpool: When he's not a one-note meme he can be a fascinating character. It's just a shame that the whole 'lol I Deadpool' aspect of his character seems to be the most popular.

    Of course, all of the above is just my opinion! One of the great things about Marvel is that every character will have its own fans.

    Sorry if you find it offensive, but for me it's just a thread to vent. I prefer that people talk about their negative views in this kind of threads than in every thread of the forum, like 3 or 4 years ago. The topic is on the title of the thread: "Characters you hate". It's a trigger warning. if you are against every kind of negativity, just don't read it It's not against you, it's just a punching-ball between more positive topics.

    I am not bashing anyone for loving a character or saying they are in bad taste. I just wanted to create a thread for people to vent. People love who they love and hate who they hate. I think people should have a place to vent. If you dont like that you dont have to read or post on said thread.

    Agreed. Everyone does not like the same thing. This thread is a nice place to vent. Though most of my vents are on the X-Books given how crappy my favorite characters tend to get treated in favor of the pet characters.

Then add in the symbiotes are almost always psychotic. I liked when the Venom symbiote got healed in GoTG when bonded to Flash...but for some reason they just had to get off Flash and make it psychotic again.

    If they kept certain rules about what the symbiotes could do and could not do...and maybe they they take on some of the traits of the host...they would be a little more palatable.

    I used to be pretty "meh" on symbiotes. But the combination of the movie and the latest Venom series sold me on him and now he's one of my favorite characters.

    To me: "characters you hate...."
    because of the so-called 'writing' of so-called 'writers'
