Least favorite characters

Post by Soppa Saia People » Fri Nov 25, 2016 9:26 pm

Since we have one for favorites, why not flip the script ?
5. Lunch: She's just kinda there, she really does nothing important. I am sad she was forgotten.
4. Gine: Minus makes me mad, she makes me mad. I'm mad. She's only character who I flat out hate.
3: Bardock: Was awesome in his special, every thing else has kinda ruined him.
2: Tights: Why does she exist ?
1: Coola: His name is stupid, His design is stupid, he's stupid in video games and he's stupid.

A lot of the movie characters are boring, but if we're talking about main characters I don't really have least favorites.

There are many characters I don't think much of or don't care for like Turtle, Chiaotzu, even Mr. Popo....but I don't think I would say they're my least favorite either.

There aren't many characters I don't like, but this list is as follows:
-General Blue, because I'm uncannily homophobic. This is sarcasm, before someone jumps on me.
-Yajirobe. I get the joke, but meh...
-Raditz, just because he's so irrelevant in every sense of the word.
-Kiwi, was presented as Vegeta's rival, and was immediately killed.
-Super Boo, he's the least interesting of the mustache twirling DB villains.
Retired.

There's not really any characters I 'hate', but let's see...

1. Vegeta, at least prior to Battle of Gods...though I guess I could say prior to the very last parts of the Kid Boo fight. He's a great villain in the Saiyan arc, and he's crafty and fun to watch at times on Namek, but man, the Androids/Cell arc makes everything about his character absolutely insufferable and even highlights those same annoying things when I rewatch the earlier stuff with him too.

2. Chiaotzu, if only because he's such a blank slate that's...just never really used at all.

Anyway, my 5

5) Roshi: He barely cracks the list because I think Jackie Chun is a great character, and I think Roshi's fights are great because he's always busting out crazy moves. When he's acting like an old fart he's not funny 90% of the time.

4) Future Trunks: I don't hate him so much as what he stands for; time travel sucks.

3) Recoome: The big oaf stereotype is overdone if you ask me. I get the Ginyu Force is supposed to be a collection of weirdos, but come on, what an unfunny character.

2) Bulma: I respect her role as the most useful non-fighter, but sometimes in DB she just acts ridiculous. "Let's go take on an entire army by ourselves even though we can't contribute, and let's bring along that Oolong even though he makes the team worse and doesn't even want to come."

1) Chiaotzu: This guy is the ultimate loser. He never wins and is a complete moron to boot. DB is a series full of completely idiotic moments, but his complete muck-up when he tried to wish away King Piccolo is #1 to me.

Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

In no particular order.

8. The Pilaf Gang. They're just outside of their first arc and especially in Super, a big time waste. They are not funny nor interesting. They are annoying and all of their useless screen time could be given to anyone that's more deserving, which is literally anyone, and the show would be better off for it.

7. Bardock. The way they treat him lately is absolutely bizarre and stupid. At least Broly is the Legendary Super Saiyan, so his wanking makes more sense despite being over done. Bardock is not supposed to be super special awesome. That makes him lamer. He's cool because he's underpowered and outmatched, not because he's super cool and amazing.

6. GT Pan. She's incredibly annoying, and even more so in the dub. She was horrible early on, and got somewhat better later. Xenoverse 1/2 reminded me of how annoying she could be though.

5. Current Roshi. He's just old pervert fart and nothing else.

4. Current Boo. He lost his gentler side to become a brat instead of an what he once was.

3. Current Gohan and Videl. They're incredibly dull, making them painful to watch. Not because of not fighting, but by having absolutely no material to work with, and personalities identical to cardboard. Well at least til Gohan does the Great Saiyaman to finally be something again.

2. Monaka. Utterly pointless waste of time based on stupidity and being a far lamer version of Mr. Satan.

1. Chi Chi. Ever since the beginning of Z she's been incredibly annoying and unreasonable. She makes it really hard to sympathize with her a lot, as her good points are drowned out by her constant yelling. I miss her DB self who was sweeter, more charming, and wasn't so over the top.

Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

5. Chaotzu
4 Yajirobe
3. Present Mai
2. Shu
1. Pilaf.

Nvm. It became really easy once I remembered the pills d gang.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

Yeah, I've always thought Yajirobe gets a bad rap by fans. Hopefully Dragon Ball Super can utilize him in a more "likable" way, so he isn't people's least favourites.

He's a coward.

That's a reason to dislike him? He's a normal human who can't even fly or fire a Ki blast, of course he's going to be afraid of the Saiyans.

Yajirobe fought on par with Goku on a standstill in debut despite no formal training from any super masters. He's definitely not "normal".

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

It's more for aesthetic reasons more than his character but I'm disappointed that with all the cool designs that Toriyama had for Baba's fighters, he makes the mummy look like a regular dude wrapped up in toilet paper. Pretty disappointing if you ask me.

That's fair I guess I never really noticed that because I considered a mummy to be so out of place to begin with.
