the OFFICIAL worst character!

[littlewilly]

Reading 'your least favorite charater' thread got me thinking just what characters are the most hated. It seems to be Reilly, Kennedy. and Dawn dosnt seem too popular.

[InsaneMystic]

Yay, I've gotten to vote so early that I can gloat over seeing Joyce-hate at 50%! :lmao:

The other two I voted for were already mentioned by you - Riley and Kennedy, even though neither holds a candle to Mrs. Summers on Mysti's Black List. :devil2:

However, I actually like Dawn a lot. And while I'm pretty sure Connor will score high in the poll, I don't hate him at all... I can relate to his lost-ness too well.

[Blondie Bear]

I don't think we can call anyone the OFFICIAL worst character, because people have different opinions, and may get angry if you decide that a character they like is selected as the OFFICIAL worst character.

[littlewilly]

i really hope Anya dosnt get that many votes. shes one of my favorites in buffy.

[LittleMissLikesToFight]

I voted Glory and, well, Other, for Harmony.

[Oz77700777]

I SAY: Conner, Kennedy, Tara, Glory, and Harmony (OH and Rielly) : batty :

[Crazy Flakes]

I SAY: Conner, Kennedy, Tara, Glory, and Harmony (OH and Rielly) : batty :

I know you're an Oz fan, but...how can you hate Tara?! Sorry, that was just my inner diehard Tillow shipper.

Anyway, I voted for Kennedy and Connor. Wasn't a fan of either of them, although I have to give Connor credit for his brief, yet entertaining appearances in season 5.

If I could, though, I would vote for all of the Potentials.

[Aethra]

Riley, Kennedy, and Connor got my votes. Hated the first two, and Connor just irked me.

[vampireczarina]

On the above list, I hate Riley, Kennedy, and Glory most. They were all so annoying.

[Cangel]

Connor and Oz (who was for some reason not in the pollI)


also, I agree with BB, you can't say this is the OFFICIAL worse character. We all like different things and what makes it official anyway?

[TabulaRasa]

I am feeling all Grrr Arrgh. Kennedy! Blah.

[Bangelxx]

I voted Kennedy, Riley and Connor! I really don't like them!

[Dancing man]

I would say Connor he was badly written there are some other useless characters like Oz that add nothing to the show.

[Hello Cutie]

Kennedy and Connor!! God I hate them!

[GATEGOD]

Tara............... duh.

[Buffy obsessed fan]

Riley sucks. Yes. He sucks. Big time. I hate him.

:D

Meh, Kennedy sucks, too. Riley's the worst. He should jump of a cliff. Yay.

Sorry, really hate Riley ;)

Guess who I picked?

Yes, Riley ;)

[littlewilly]

OK, so its not The OFFICIAL worst character. but it is on this board.
And, its only a bit of fun. come on, theres no need to get annoyed.

[Rowan Hawthorn]

What's annoying is the repetitiveness. I mean, how many bleeding "worst character" threads needs to be running concurrently?

[littlewilly]

dont like it? fine
dont take part.
and ive only seen one other worst character thread, which made me think of this in the first place.
i really dont see what the problem is!

[Kimz]

i voted kennedy and riley lol

i dont particulary HATE them...but not my fave characters it has to be said lol

x

[Blondie Bear]

I think the problems are that a) we have bandwidth issues fairly frequently and most of us get annoyed when things that could suck up the bandwidth crop up, because we'd prefer to have BB alive than a few extra threads covering the same basic topics; b) there is at least one other thread on this, so another one really isn't necessary; and c) you're trying to, by popular vote, decide who the absolute worst character in the Buffyverse is--and that's going to annoy some people because we all have our own opinions on different characters. That's why we have discussions. Trying to say "THIS one is the worst, case closed!" necessarily disallows discussion, which defeats the whole point of the boards.

I hope that answers your question.

[Rowan Hawthorn]

dont like it?
Nope. Sick of the constant "Worst this and worst that" on every forum I see. If that's all there is to discuss, things are in worse shape than I thought.

and ive only seen one other worst character thread, which made me think of this in the first place.
So, again - how many of the same thing do we need running concurrently?

i really dont see what the problem is!
And I don't see the point in deliberately duplicating threads just for the hell of it. I doubt that many people are going to change their choices from one to the other, and by this time, I suspect pretty much everybody with internet access and half those without know which three or four characters are the most disliked whether anybody ever did another one of these idiotic polls or not. And, as BB pointed out, the only thing these polls do prove is that people have different opinions - they mean absolutely nothing as far as proving any objective "worst character," because some nutjobs vote for Buffy, Willow, Xander, Giles...

[LadyLavinia]

I only have a handful of characters I truly dislike:

Angel
Fred Burkle
Connor
Glory
Forrest

[littlewilly]

im glad to see most people who enter this thread dont have a problem with it and even if they find it idiotic
are still easy going enough to take it for what it is, a bit of fun.
i didnt mean to offend anyone with this list. :0)

[The Kinslayer]

Ok, so I voted other but that´s just because I wanted to see the score. Even if I´m far from totally in love with every character, to call someone the absolute worst seems pretty close to hatred. And such feelings I don´t have. But hey, that´s just me. My least favourite ones can been seen here Your Least Favourite Character. - Buffy-Boards (http://www.buffy-boards.com/showthread.php?t=38559)

I´m happy to see that Dawn is doing ok. I thought she was quite unpopular. It´s also interesting to see that the only ones not getting a vote this far are Faith, Wesley, Anya and Lorne.

[slayerpower]

I really didn't like Kennedy. I loved Tillow and not only did we get another love interest for Willow, but one who was so bossy and annoying. What were the writers thinking, giving us another love interest for Willow so soon? I'm not even sure they knew that she was unpopular.

[Rowan Hawthorn]

If I were to hazard a guess, I'd suspect they were thinking about, y'know, actually writing a story that went somewhere, instead of catering to a bunch of people who wanted them to pattern the show after shipper fanfiction...

[slayerpower]

It just too soon to bring in another love interest for Willow!

[The Kinslayer]

It just too soon to bring in another love interest for Willow!
Somewhere between 6 and 12 months is too soon? And wasn´t it more like Willow was a love interest for Kennedy than the other way around? Willow wasn´t looking for a realationship, Kennedy was. And correct me if I´m wrong but I don´t remember Willow saying "Oh, I love you so much, now I don´t even think about Tara." It´s just nice to have someone you know.

[Rowan Hawthorn]

Somewhere between 6 and 12 months is too soon?

I keep pointing that out, but it's apparently wasted effort. In the Real World, it's so common for people to get into another relationship within a few months, it hardly even raises an eyebrow.

[slayerpower]

Realistically, maybe it's not too long, but for some of the fans (including me), it was too soon.

[Rowan Hawthorn]

Then that's not a problem with the writing, is it?

[The Ferg]

I've completely changed my mind. The one character I truly hate is Eve from AS5. SHE IS SO ANNOYING!!!!!!!!!! Okay, maybe not the character, but the actor's voice. At first it was okay. I even kinda liked it, but now it just makes me wanna kill myself!

[slayerpower]

As I said, I also found her character annoying. She's winning the poll, so I'm not the only one who doesn't like her.

[littlewilly]

I agree with you both Rowan and Slayerpower.
I really hated Kennedy(like really hated) but, im glad she was in the show, you cant like everyone. They made her like that on purpose(i think)
and it wasnt too soon for willow. She cant pass up a potentialy great relationship just because of what happened with Tara.
You gotta move on and wether thats 2 months or 2 years dosnt really make a difference or change what happened.

[Rowan Hawthorn]

It's amazing how many people had the same reaction to Tara after she "took Oz's place." (Much sooner after Oz's departure, in fact - although, from first meeting to full intimacy was about the same length of time with Tara as it was with Kennedy.)

[Blondie Bear]

I have no problem with the timeline; I just don't like Kennedy. :)

[SintiKid]

Personally, I think it was more that the Willow and Kennedy thing just didn't have the chemistry that was there with both Oz and Tara. It felt more like "Ok, we've got to put Willow with someone so ......here!"

[Buffanator]

ack. some people will hate me for this, but Tara is my answer for worst character. Not that I didn't like Amber Benson - I think she is a wonderful actress. But the CHARACTER of Tara just bored the living hell out of me. And I never saw any "great love" of Tillow. The gay thing didn't/doesn't bother me at all.... but I just didn't get that they were so special together. I saw it & felt it w/Willlow & Oz. (But I loved it when Tara died because that brought on Evil Willow, and I LOVE Evil Willow!!! :evillol:

Also, Kennedy. I liked Kennedy as a bitchy potential, but the whole relationship with Willow .... bored, now.

In Angel, I couldn't care less for Nina... Angel's werewolf girlfriend. Again.... bored now. :end:

[littlewilly]

^^The only reason i didnt put Tara in is because i knew she wouldnt win, but i kinda see your point Buffanator.
I mean, i liked Tara. She wasnt really that interesting but she's such a nice person id feel bad for hating her.

[Atren]

I voted Kennedy mostly because her romance with Willow felt rushed/accelerated. If they had left that aspect out i probably would have voted someone else. Or at least made it develop slower.

[Rowan Hawthorn]

Once again, I have to ask: What rushing? Willow's relationship with Kennedy proceeded at almost exactly the same pace as her relationship with Tara.

[Bluebird]

I know people who hate Riley and I feel I have to defend him cos he really isn't that bad, but with Kennedy I can't find anything good to say about her. Tara was a very sweet, shy and modest character and the writers seem to have tried really hard to make Kennedy the complete opposite of Tara. Except this just makes her come across as an arrogant bully and I am one among many who can't stand her.

[SC7 Fan]

WHO VOTED SPIKE????!!!!!!!!! He is the best character there!!! HOW COULD YOU VOTE FOR HIM!!!!!!!!

(Sorry if I offend any body I have a giant crush on him.)

[littlewilly]

I am GLAD that Kennedys winning. Im watching s7
just now and i cannot stand her.
Remember when Buffy and Robin walk out to the garden and Kennedys barking orders and telling a potential to 'drop and give her 20'.
grrrrrr, i hate her

[bufsum]

Kennedy is the most useless character in the verse. Although she was there for my girl, doesn't mean she should have been a bite-sized pain in my:fighting1:angry0::fighting1:fuming: ... you get the idea.

[littlewilly]

Kennedy=Worst person in Btvs ever.

Im Kennedy. I want slapped.

[bufsum]

For me, Kennedy's character was like a character sketch of someone you think about putting into the fold, but then you improve them. She could have been a good, and believable character... but because her creation was rushed she came out as a stuck up know it all, who happened to be a lesbian, and so Willow got a girlfriend out of her. She put an unnecessary kink in the already crowded season.

[Buffanator]

Humph. I chose "other". I'm saying that Giles girlfriend from England (not Jenny!!!) was the "worst character". I mean, WTF was her purpose, if she in fact, had one?

[Fake Shemp]

ugh olivia! ickness woman
