The cast of Big Bang Theory over-hyped crap the forced jokes a, fake laugh over track with some pretty poor acting

What do people think of JD, Zachary Braff in scrubs.

I have just rewatched it, and he is so so so often a banana split to people, a bit of a spoilt man child.

But I think what they do do very well is make him human and likeable, for all the times he’s a banana split, he often can look in the mirror and realise it too. He also plays the silly feminine nerd hing quite well.

This is kind of a niche one but the goalie in Ted Lasso. Not the character himself, just the fact that he's a terrible keeper. Surely they could have cast someone with a little ability.

It could be worse, they could have cast Diana Ross as a striker.

Almost every other character in the show is more likeable than she is

This feels like a Walter White scenario where that's what she's meant to be like. I can understand how she might rub people up the wrong way, but - worse than the tie-dye werewolf? The self-absorbed siren? Whatever the hell the fuckboy with long hair is meant to be!? Surely not!

Also a 'surely not' to people hating on Catherine Tate in Doctor Who, she's by far the best the new series has had. Amy Pond is the correct choice for this thread, but she's hot I guess so it's okay? :dread:

Quite right, I'm perfectly capable of slagging off Whittaker's Doctor as well.

Recent videogame examples:
- Agnia the dancer in Octopath 2, just atrociously written;
- The hero in Persona 4, no character but he looks immensely smug;
- New style Sonic. Always.

The tie-dye werewolf is almost literally the only reason I'm still watching :lol:

she's great! Thing is good, though. Apart from his attempts at wingmanning :dread:

Urgh, can't agree there. :dread:

Too happy, conquers her 'issue' without any problem, no character arc worth noting. Granted Wednesday doesn't have an arc either, that's because she's already perfect. :msgreen:

Walt and Vic are terrible people but they're enjoyable to watch.

Neither are protaginsts(well, Walt is for a while), they are villains and they are both fabulous characters(Walt is obviously the best character). Anybody dissing Jess can strawberry float off, the poor kid goes through hell throughout the show.

I am amazed that nobody has mentioned Daryl Dixon. He does my strawberry floating head in.

And then there is Buffy the banana spliting vampire slayer. Sure, I fell in love with her but it quickly turned sour due to her constant woe is me whining.

Raylan Givens too, such a prick*

*Just kidding,he is a legend, coolness personified. AND HE'LL BE BACK ON OUR SCREENS SOON, YEE HAH!!!!!!!!

being a villain doesn't mean you can't be a protagonist. the protag is the one who the story follows it doesn't mean the same thing as good guy

The protagonist of GTA3.

You are correct sir, I just looked it up and I was wrong. That being the case I will add Negan to the list the amount of tedious traits he has is beyond belief.

Tidus from X was my least favourite FF lead.

Totally, even in the books she’s pretty insufferable.

My choice would be Aloy from Horizon. Sweet baby strawberry float she is annoying. I literally cannot abide playing those games because of how awful she is.

I would also probably chuck a cheeky vote behind Chris Redfield. I don’t really mind him in RE1 but in everything else, particularly his RE5 redesign I find aggressively gooseberry fool. His look is a little more tolerable in Village but his character and actions are so dumb.

It's just such a bland character design all round, it would have been far better to have the option to make a custom character who doesn't speak.

Same with every other GTA game.
