Darcy is more annoying than Dawn Summers. She was even much more annoying in Thor: The Dark World. The funny thing is...that Thor: The Dark World shares a lot of similarities with Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones. Thor: The Dark World is the MCU equivalent of Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones. Both movies have so much in common. And they're both terrible films and the worst in their own respective franchises. Darcy (Kat Dennings) made that movie non-rewatchable! Admittedly, Jane was a bit annoying, but her annoying sidekick, Darcy, was much much, much, much, much more annoying!Kevin Reynarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04340659703571976151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-22415393523055604592017-09-14T22:28:27.106-04:002017-09-14T22:28:27.106-04:00Ha ha, I respect your opinion, but stand by Dawn S...Ha ha, I respect your opinion, but stand by Dawn Summers.

I guess I just stopped watching after S1 and didn't think there had been another. Thanks for that correction! <br /><br />Perhaps I need to watch S2 and see if the characters ever found their grove. <br /><br />For me, the issue with Skye is that she's the Mary Sue character. She is very one-dimensional. HOwever, she has grown on me over time. They have made some minor improvements over the course of the 1st season, but I still think her character is extraneous compared to the other characters.msmariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15486729990673366769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-75610692505392002122014-08-01T23:45:18.769-04:002014-08-01T23:45:18.769-04:00I agree with Connor, Dawn, and especially Charlie ...I agree with Connor, Dawn, and especially Charlie (she was a main reason that I quit watching the show). I have mixed feelings about Chloe from SGU being on this list. <br /><br />First of all, there are actually two seasons of Stargate Universe. They do a lot to make up for doing a poor job with her character in the second season. They still have some issues with their treatment of women through the show, but I think it was an interesting change after Stargate Atlantis. I loved the characters on SGA, but I think after five seasons it was falling into a rut. SGU had a rough start, but it works a lot better on DVD and comes together really well.<br /><br />I do have to agree about Andrea, who was the most frustrating character on a show that's filled with them. I think Skye is more a symptom of Agents of Shield's early problems than of her character in particular. When the show got better, Skye became a lot better. I never found her annoying, just limited at the start.<br /><br />Regardless of any issues, I did really enjoy this list!Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12351431577484530230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-28969110513533808032014-07-22T23:00:45.772-04:002014-07-22T23:00:45.772-04:00Thanks Lights Camera!

For the most part people will give characters the benefit of the doubt, but there were a few key scenes (like Andrea seeing the heads or Lori telling Rick to kill Shane and then getting mad about Killing Shane) that push their characters past the point of no return.msmariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15486729990673366769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-89818669711994651522014-07-11T07:48:37.356-04:002014-07-11T07:48:37.356-04:00Very nice list! I'm not a big enough Star Wars...Very nice list! I'm not a big enough Star Wars fan to make fully informed discussions on them, but I can see how Hayden is annoying. And Jar Jar Binks is the biggest troll in film history.<br /><br />So much of what frustrated me about TWD was the pacing of the third season. I can see how people are frustrated with Lori if they've read the comic books but the overall intense hate towards her is a little much for me. I think she had some redeeming and good scenes, but her weak loyalty to Rick or Shane was annoying. Maybe if they had made her more of a mother figure to the whole group rather than letting her be that woman having an affair, she would've been a stronger character.<br /><br />I love Laurie Holden and still love Andrea despite her faults, because I chose to appreciate her overall character arc - but walking in on the post-fight between Michonne and the Governor, seeing all the heads, and not making her leave then was a horrible flub. In a way though because "she wanted to save the townspeople" her death lives on. The group took care of all those townspeople, and goes on to accept others like Bob to help them out.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00287429151542133314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-44176794017544230042014-07-10T14:01:12.715-04:002014-07-10T14:01:12.715-04:00Yes, the Anakins were terrible weren't they?

Like you, I thought Lana was ok at first, but then she started to really get on my nerves with the insanity. I have to blame the writers on Lana. As for Anakin, I think it was a combination of Lucas and Chirstenson's acting. msmariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15486729990673366769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-63384961374537373302014-07-09T14:52:53.224-04:002014-07-09T14:52:53.224-04:00Thanks Wendell!

Edward should have been on this list. He was pretty irritating. <br /><br />I can see your point about Lex Murphy, but Idk. If I would have seen a big monster like that coming towards me even as a teen I wouldn't have shone a light in its face. I was around the same age as Lex was when that movie came out. Even back then I couldn't see myself doing something like that. I remembered thinking in theater, what is she thinking!!!msmariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15486729990673366769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-83698556666723343812014-07-09T13:51:03.339-04:002014-07-09T13:51:03.339-04:00Great list!

Lana Lang was all right at first, but her character just started to irritate me at some point. Bella Swan gets more annoying in the succeeding films after Twilight. Darth Vader seems like a cool character but Anakin Skywalker seems to be the opposite. I couldn't fathom why Padme Amidala would consider even dating this guy, and why Obi-wan Kenobi kept him as his trainee. How can a whiny character turn out to be that guy? It doesn't make sense.Big Screen Small Wordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15047376725272000920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-28720761723379491482014-07-09T13:17:47.857-04:002014-07-09T13:17:47.857-04:00Great list, but I hardly watch TV so the only one ...Great list, but I hardly watch TV so the only one of those characters I've seen is Skye from Shield. Meh...I'm rather indifferent toward her. <br /><br />As for the movie characters you have some nice inclusions. Anakin would shoot up near the top for me. I'm with your husband on Ruby Rhod, so I'm glad he was listed. Love that you included Bella, but wouldn't have minded if you made her share her ranking with Edward and Jacob. Yeah, that would've been appropriate.<br /><br />I will defend Lex Murphy, though. She was annoying in spots but not during the T-Rex scene, at least to me. Fear makes people do strange things and smart people do stupid stuff all the time, especially when they're teenagers. My point is there's no telling how anyone will react to suddenly being in the presence of a real live, hungry, and angry T-Rex. If anyone in that scene reacted that way, I'd have given them a pass, including Sam Neill's character. I mean, we're talking about a killing machine no one had ever thought was even possible to see suddenly right in front of you. I<br />To summarize, T-Rex.Dellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634519605152190304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-37947071243407645922014-07-09T11:40:51.235-04:002014-07-09T11:40:51.235-04:00Oh yes, Sookie. She wouldn't have been on my l...Oh yes, Sookie. She wouldn't have been on my list a few years ago, but now all bets are off.<br /><br />The sexism on TWD is so awful. They seriously make people hate the female characters by making them annoying. I agree about the Michonne thing. I like Michonne a lot, but I think Danai received a similar question on 'The Talking Dead.' She rightfully responded that no one could replace Lori because she was Carl's mother and Rick's wife. That kind of bond simply cannot be "replaced." It sounds really pretentious, but as a mother I know that no one (except my husband) will love my child like I do. So to say that Lori can be replaced by someone is ridiculous. <br /><br />I do feel like the writers of TWD destroyed both Lori and Andrea for me. Their characters were written so poorly and were both so whiny. Why? It's ok to introduce flaws, but at some point if there's too many flaws the bad overwhelms the good. <br /><br />Oh my goodness, I'm so tired of Skye. Ward definitely improved when it was revealed he was hydra. I was so glad they didn't go "pysch" he's only been pretending to go along with hydra to flush out the real baddies, no he was the real baddie. That was a nice twist b/c usually the powers that be always do the ole' predictable switcharoo..."oh he was bad, but he was really good, pretending to be bad." Nope. Ward was just bad. Which was much better. <br /><br />Only now we will have to deal with the whole can he be redeemed crap and will Skye be able to forgive? Oy vey. I just don't want to see it. Skye is the worst character. The more I think about her the higher on the annoying list she goes. <br /><br />Yep, Being Human Uk killed off their entire main cast at some point. I think the actors wanted to leave. They did it piecemeal, so they didn't all leave at once.<br /><br />No worries, I love your comment!msmariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15486729990673366769noreply@blogger.com
