True, they don't have to be evil to be hated.

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.

While true

How can anyone not hate someone who throws an infinitely valuable diamond into the sea instead of supporting her clearly alive grandchildren. I'll never understand the writers on that one.

This I think.

But then Commodus, both necessary and just so hateable on screen. I think I have more of an aversion to Commodus than Potter, even though IaWL is a better film. Commodus is just another POS personified.

2. Timothy Upham (Saving Private Ryan)

99 PROBLEMS BUT A DICK AINT ONE REGION

1. Percy Wetmore (The Green Mile)
9. Vice-Admiral Holdo (Star Wars: The Last Jedi) As far as Star Wars hated characters go. Holdo is worse than Tico for me and for sure more hated than Jar Jar.

5. Annie Wilkes (Misery)
4. Edward Longshanks (Braveheart)

6. Mr. Potter (It's a Wonderful Life)
3. Rose Tico (Star Wars)

7. Rose DeWitt Bukater (Titanic)
2. Warden North (Shawshank Redemption) It's for sure been 10-15 years since I've watched the Titanic but I don't think I'm ever going to watch it again, because I don't want to hate Rose. Although I had never thought about that necklace being an inheritance

11. Kahn Singh (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn)
3. Fernand Mondego (The Count of Monte Cristo)

7. Dr. Chilton (Silence of the Lambs) Hoping Chilton makes a little run. He was such a douche. Very punchable face.

I think villains like Commodus, Tavington, and Percy were great written characters you're supposed to hate, and they are much worse as a person than somenoe like Potter. Potter, while a scum bag, did somethign many people would do, and still do today.
What the 3 i mentioned did in their films were despicable, and they all deserved to be tortured to death for what they did. Potter simply deserved to go to jail for stealing, and i dont' care that he's in a wheelchair, someone should punch him in the mouth.


And i hate the whatever you want to call those 3 movies that played that Star Wars theme before they started, and Rose is kind of the character that recieves the brunt of the hate for those movies. It's not that i really hate her the character, i simply hate what she represented to the franchise and what was done to that franchise overall, and i hate that a good bit more than a made up villain b/c it's a lot more real to me in that it ruined something that should have been great. And man do i sound like a star wars nerdy bitch saying that, but i'm not ashamed of being a star wars nerd.

If the tournament was "Most Vile" character or greatest evil character, Potter should win in a landslide.

But Rose Tico is hateable for a plethora of reasons, while Potter is essential to the hero journey and while we hate him, he is necessary.


This tournament is confusing me more.

I guess the only answer is which character makes you want to jump through the TV and strangle them or at the very least stop them or try to change them for how they are hurting the lives of others.

Of the ones left that fit that role:

Nurse Watched
Jenny
Mr. Potter
Commodus
Fernand Mondego
Warden North

I don't really care about awful or annoying characters (Jar-Jar, Rose Tico) but awful humans portrayed on screen.

Potter with a passion as the embodiment of Corporate greed. He deliberately sought to ruin the lives of the common man for his own personal wealth. .


I couldn’t disagree with this more comrade Marx. Potter is a caricature of capitalism or really a 30s depression era caricature of bankers. The FBI even took notice

He was greedy and unsentimental but how was he trying to “ruin the common man”? By suggesting they should only loan money to people who would pay it back? Accountability oh the horror

Now at the end he does steal the $8000 (that’s 135,000 in 2023 dollars) that he knows belongs to the B&L. Instead of calling the cops on George he could probably have destroyed the BBB&L by coming clean. One of the officers of the B&L lost $8000, lucky I found it, what kind of incompetent fools are running that place?

In the KK universe, I think Silver is the most hate able and should have been in over Kreese. It’s apparent that Kreese just has some major PTSD from ‘Nam. Silver is just evil. Daniel is a douche, but Chozen, Johnny, and Barnes all like him now.

That's a good point that Silver should make it before Kreese. But even then, Silver just stepped up to the plate to help Kreese because he saved his arse in 'Nam. So there is at least some charitable vibe to it.

Daniel is just an unlikeable douche, which is why Ali left him and Jessica Friend Zoned him with the quickness. Hell, even Kumiko liked him the most and she was like "Have fun going back to America by yourself, dickhead."

quote:

That was definitely why he didn't make it. That and that you were the only one who nominated him



How is that even possible? I wanted to get him nominated early so that people could tag onto it and get him into thte tournament. That tells me that not enough people have truly taken a proper deep dive into KK and realized what an unlikeable douche he is.

I just look at the two characters in the "game" and pick which one i hated more while watching the movie.

I may be wrong, but it seem like there are lots of lawyers in here stuck on definitions.

The title of the thread is most hated character of all-time tournament. Which of the two do/did you hate more when you saw the movie?

Not stealing anything I was saying your comment/interpretation of the movie was “commie propaganda” not the movie itself

quote:

Maybe, but what about common man Tom? George explains to everyone how the B&L works “your money is in his house and her house not in a vault in the back. He tells them Potter is not panicking while they are. Tom wants his $242 when George says he’ll get his money in 60 days per their agreement he threatens to sell at a 50% Haircut to Potter. Then when Mary busts out their honeymoon cash Tom still takes his full amount even after George begs him to take just enough to get by. I mean is it Potter’s fault there are short sighted selfish idiots like Tom? Potter did guarantee the bank, for his own gain sure but still better for everyone that the bank doesn’t go under

Anyway Potter is another great villian definitely designed to be hated, if that’s what we’re going with for this category

I mean his plan was to murder 40-50 in order to steal over half a billion dollars in bonds. Still I don’t hate him, he’s too perfect as the villain

I don’t have a problem with Potter the businessman taking advantage of the situation at hand with dumb people panicking.

I have a very big problem with him not giving the very large sum of money back.
