Greek Mythology is fun, but it does get really tiresome that most of the gods and many of the heroes seem to have stories devolve into them being rapists. I know they're supposed to be primal forces and not really subject to human morality, exactly, but it's still not exactly a fun read.

The MCU's Odin is a f***ing asshole. Hey he may have cast Thor out of Asgard but at least he didnt transform him into a wimp doctor with a lame leg.

Ooichi in Kancolle followed closely by Hiei.
If siscon is your only real defining character trait, I have little interest in you as a ship or a girl.
Then again at least Hiei has shitty cooking to make up for it. Ooichi's just a bitch to everyone who isn't Kitakami.

The Weasley Twins irritated me in Harry Potter. When George died, I didn’t necessarily cheer his demise but I wasn’t sorry to see him go. Lol I can tell you didn't care, because it's Fred who dies, not George.

His assholeishness only develops over the course of the three movies he's in I feel. He's a bad parent and a bad person. I do not like him! But yeah I'm not familiar enough with Thor's history in the comics to say whether Odin is an asshole in 616 as well.

He's married to Frigga in the comics but brings home baby Thor from the war with Surtur after a romance with Gaia, so there's infidelity right off the bat. He has a general "I don't give a f*** about Earth" attitude unless getting involved benefits him, and strips Thor of his powers multiple times for his actions on Earth. He also sends the Destroyer after Jane for the crime of wielding Mjolnir, and is an outright fascist tyrant in the All-New, All-Different Marvel series. So yeah, Marvel Odin is generally a bit of a dick in every medium.

Odin is kind of an asshole outside of Marvel, too.

Awww I love Vanille She's pretty much the driving force behind the story and arguably the real main character. I'm not as good as explaining why as this frenemy of mine is but I really appreciate her arc and her character. But I'm also biased towards the genki girl types in FF. Yuffie and Rikku are also faves of mine, and Vanille sits right up in that archtype (plus I ship Vanille/Fang hard). I love Yuffie and Rikku, too, (and Selphie) but Vanille was just a step too far, for me, lol.

Odin is kind of an asshole outside of Marvel, too. From my research into Norse Paganism, Odin was more favored by the political elite, such as Kings and Jarls, and the fearsome warriors such as Berserkers and Ulfhednar. Thor was more of the common man's favorite God.

I've ranted multiple times in the past about how much I came to loathe Mr Gold/Rumplestiltskin from Once Upon a Time. He started out as a great character, but between his toxic co-dependency with Belle that dragged on for the entire show, the cast giving him chance after chance after chance only for him to f*** them over every time, and the fact that he's responsible for basically every bad thing that's ever happened to anyone either directly or by proxy, it just became too much and I eventually gave up on the show all together because it was impossible to ignore him. I understand what the writers were going for, as he was once described as someone who always makes bad decisions due to weakness or cowardice, but I don't think they realized how tiresome it gets to watch the same character screw himself and everyone around him over and over without ever truly learning anything. My breaking point with him was probably when he swore on the grave of his dead son that he was going to be a better man from now on, and he was back to being evil later that same night!

Lol I can tell you didn't care, because it's Fred who dies, not George. To be honest I couldn’t remember the other twin’s name. It was a 50/50 outcome! To be fair, the Weasley’s had about six kids, I know Ron and Ginny...is there a Percy?

Pierce Hawthorne in Community.
It doesn't help matters that Chevy Chase was outed as a total PoS in real life, so a lot of the time he's on screen I'm cringing.
It also made enjoying old favourites like Three Amigos, National Lampoon, Fletch or Caddyshack hard to watch or enjoy too.

Community suffered from Flanderizing with many of the main characters but Pierce was probably the worst of it.

I just don't care about Frenchy in The Boys. Like he could go away and I don't know I would even notice.
