re: Most Hated Movie Character of All-Time Tournament - ROUND OF 32 - VOTIING CLOSED

quote:

---

Rose Tico actively works against the plot of the film, has no redeeming qualities and is the clear pillar of the problems with the modern trilogy. And she makes a hero make a stupid, pointless decision.

The difference between the two is Mr Potter was written as a vile scumbag, and that's who he was on screen, and everyone hates him.

Rose wasn't written to be a hated character. Her character is without a doubt hated, but that hate should be more with the director/writer, not the the character. It's not like she was acting to be hated by the audience. Potter was acted to be hated by the audience.
I could say the same about Rose from Titantic. She wasn't written to be hated, but she is hated, just like Rose Tico.


I guess when i think about it like that, now that i've written that, i appreciate the hatred of a character like Potter a lot more than that of both Rose's, but i guess I should hate the Rose character more simply b/c of the ignorance they were written with.
The fact that i hate Potter is something i was supposed to do. I wasn't supposed to hate the Roses, but I do, so i think that hatred carries a bit more weight.
