Character 'hate' debate

[ayooz.livejournal.com]

Apologies if this sort of post has already been mentioned. But I'm really curious with why people hate dislike certain characters from Code Geass.

Personally I really don't like Shirley. I could pull out the generic character card, but there are a lot of characters that can apply to this (I'm looking at you, Euphemia/Lacus clone). But to be realistic, not EVERY single character in Code Geass is going to be original. Hell, some say Lelouch is a Light rip-off. I would hate her less if she wasn't set up to be a romantic possibility for Lelouch. But I just don't like her personality type. Though, to be superficial, what the character looks like is also a factor ^^; For example, I actually don't think Euphemia is all that bad.

Basically, state the character that you hate/dislike and explain your reasoning. I'm interested in those who aren't fond of Suzaku (I'm sort of surprised why some do). It can be anything as long as it isn't incoherent character bashing.

[Edit: Dislike is a better way to put it. Doesn't mean you can't hate either xD]

Hi.

You win the Internet. ♥

Agreed. It's actually why I don't hate Suzaku, even though he annoys me at parts of the show. Sure I'm MAD at him, but I can't hate him =_= I think the main reason why I can't stand him a lot of the time is because he's criticizing and judging Zero even though he couldn't even handle judging and facing himself. And how in the end of eps25, he was judging Lelouch at face value - but a lot of that was probably due to impulsive rage (and the fact that he probably thought Lelouch purposely massacred an entire stadium of people.)

I like Lelouch more simply because at least he acknowledges his selfishness and the fact that some(many) of the things he's doing is wrong. He is a tyrant, and he lost his "true" goals near the end (the fact that he had to be reminded by CC that Nunally was why he was doing all this in the first place...) but he is determined and set out in making changes (for whatever reason it might be.) I find that more admirable. Which also makes him a scarier person really :P

:D ♥ S'okay.

Well, to me at least, his kindness is creepy and foreboding. XD; He's been shown to be manipulative and ambitious, not necessarily evil, but I just...don't like him. But since this is Geass, I wouldn't be surprised if something was revealed in S2 that makes me sympathize with him.

oops, that was supposed to be a reply to the previous comment.

uhm, might as well mention characters that I dislike then.

I hate Shirley because.... heck I don't even know. Probably because she is a love interest and I am a Suzalulu shipper. It can't be because of her character because I felt bad for her for what Lelouch did to her.

I can't stand Nina. She scares me. She reminds me of those crazy stalker otaku who ends up kidnapping and murdering their idol and then committing suicide together so they can be "together forever"

I think I'm okay with everyone else...?

[sapphynashi.livejournal.com]

:D; I just can't shut up whenever Suzaku is mentioned.

[cal-reflector.livejournal.com]

You're not alone. The voice and personality grinds on me, I was quite shocked when the English-speaking fandom responded (in general) favorably to him.

[saorren.livejournal.com]

the first character i disliked was euphemia. but after watching the whole thing and know how she is, i dont hate her that much. i dont like her role in the story, you could say. i dont have anything against her personally. if she doesnt turn out to be lulu/zero's biggest obstacle, if she doesnt make suzaku go to her side and conglomerate to become even bigger obstacles, i wouldnt have disliked her at all. of course, the fact that lulu liked/loved her softened my stand point too. so ya, just her role, not her personally.

and of course the 2nd one that i hate... i meant dislike, is suzaku. i didnt dislike him that much at the beginning but the more i watched... the more i knew... (like how he and lulu first met) i disliked him more. i dont like his righteousness. i dont like his stubbornness in his own ideas. he's the type of characters that nomatter what role he plays i'd dislike. prolly just opposite to euphie's XD of course, if he stayed on lulu's side, it'd be totally different =P

by the end of watching the entire season one... i hated 1. sunrise the most, 2. v.v who came to mess things up and 3. suzaku stupid w35%^E$^*&W$%^ >_> i wished they'd all just die <_< im just unreasonably on lulu's side so im totally biased XD

hvning said that tho i do understand people all have reasons behind what they do (probably...) and even for suzaku. and no one is perfect so even if i dont like how suzaku is, one could always try to understand his feelings and standpoint. but then again im biased towards lulu so i dont like suzaku. if i werent biased i'd prolly not dislike suzaku as much >w>;

[saorren.livejournal.com]

oh ya. totally forgot about nina. lol!! sorry for the triple post.

not disliking her cus she's lesbian or anything, but just the way she is... gah! if u like her... just... SAY IT!! make your move dammit! grrr. and discriminating. and afraid of so many things. messing things up at the worst times. gr! (i prolly see myself in her - all the things i dun like about myself. thats why it annoys me even more lol)

[whitedestiny1x2.livejournal.com]

I don't like Lelouch's brothers. I already forgot their names, lol. Although, I can't say I hate them because they don't really have a lot of screen time; I only know that they're tyrannical, power-hungry sons-of-a-bitch(es). Plus, one is dead. Hurrr. And argh, the King of Brittania. *shakes fist* Bastard.

[saorren.livejournal.com]

i like your... explanation? of suzaku's character. it gives me a deeper look at his character, cus with my lulu bias i'd probably not bother to think FOR suzaku that much. tho it's not like i think FOR lulu that much xD im on his side simply cus he's... voiced by junjun >.> *gets smacked*

anyway... hope sunrise will try to show more of suzaku's delicacy in the future anime... not just leaving it all to the other media (manga, drama, novel... who the hell are gonna read/listen to all those -_- not a die-hard fan) or maybe they did show his delicacy but i just didnt care enough to pic them up and think through them =/

but what, it's deemed to be a sad story >< im thinking just hoping all of them would have a happy end would be too much of a wish...

[ayooz.livejournal.com]

No prob XD; I like hearing everyones opinions!

[halevy.livejournal.com]

I totally agree with you on like, everything.

[sapphynashi.livejournal.com]

XD; Sadly, I think about Suzaku's side of things the most. I didn't like him much in the beginning when he really started to fall into the 'FOR RIGHTEOUS JUSTICE' role, but when I found out he killed his father I had to stop, go back, and look at him again from the start with a different view. There's actually a lot revealed about him and it all matches up.

Yeah, there won't be a Happily Ever After for anyone, I think. The series sets you up with these notions of black and white, but they blend throughout. There's a lot of emphasis placed on the good and evil that exist within humans. To have an ending where good triumphs would completely undermine everything so far.

Umm umm ummm......

I really don't like that one guy on the Black Knights side, that one guy with the sticky-up hair who always acts like a complete bastard? I tihnk it's Tamaki. Yeah, I really don't like him and often want to slap him silly for being such a tard. >|

I'm also not a big fan of Dietard, he pulls really silly faces. [That's totally not the reason I don't like him honest!]

And Clovis! I really don't like Clovis! I was pretty glad Lulu shot him >.>

Crazy-beans Nina is scary :<

On the flip-side, I pretty much love everyone else. I think Lelouch is an excellent character, and I love how he interacts with Suzaku and C.C and Kallen, especially when he's being all Zero-y. I dig Lloyd, and Villetta, and Ogi - and most especially Villetta and Ogi's doomed relationship. AND ORENJI OF COURSE.

And more of course, MILLAY. BEST CHARCTER IN THE SHOW Y/VY

[megami-tsuki.livejournal.com]

I'm not too fond of Suzaku. He just blindly follows orders even if he finds it wrong to be doing such a thing -_- and I don't think he understands Leouch's or even Kallen's feelings about why they hate Britania. I agree with Leouch about what he said about Suzaku killing his father. He stole the people's right to fight back, thus stealing their pride and forced them into a surrender. they had no choice but to be taken over and enslaved and become outcasts in their own country. It's one thing to go into an orginization and try to change it from the inside out, but he's not trying to do that. He became a tool and let himself be used. Like he was being tried for a murder he didn't commit and if they found him guilty they would have executed him...he was just going to except that? But now he's pissed and out for revenge and blood the second he loses someone he really cared about. Hypocrite? I think so...

I don't like Shirley. She the type of jealous, possessive, over bearing female characters I hate. Plus she's niave and too emotional. I'd take Lulu hook up like Milly or Kallen before I'd have him hook up with Shirley. Tho my OTP Is Lulu x CC X3

I like Euphie ^^ It's sad they killed her off the way they did.

[sapphynashi.livejournal.com]

Hurrah! Fandom needs more people who get Suzaku. There's a lot to unpack in his character and I find his dual nature more fascinating than Lelouch's, but I'm just completely biased there.

[megami-tsuki.livejournal.com]

I don't really mind his personality. I like that Character Type but I agree, I reeeally don't like Lloyd's voice either XP I think he'd be better if he had like...hmmm...ooh! an Uruhara type voice X3. or ooh! Komui voice! They could be brothers xD. Yes a Komui voice or Uruhara voice would make his character 100x better *nods*

[x-reggg.livejournal.com]

whoaaa this post is going to be fun/amusing? XD

i don't really have any character i hate in code geass... if i had to say someone, it would be shirley's dad or euphemia. basically the people who broke the nice little harem code geass had before it went wacky :D

[ramen-cupnoodle.livejournal.com]

Despite the fact that Lelouche has a really cliche "omg genius" character formula...

I still love him. >_>

I dislike Euphemia the most because I'm not fond of her..naivete? I just don't like her character.

And I can't help but compare her with Lacus [whom I also dislike]The resemblance is uncanny.

I only like her because her death and relationship with Suzaku, Lulu and Cornelia mad the story a lot more interesting.

[hayato.livejournal.com]

...lol I'm the only one in this entire fandom who likes Shirley.

[atleast.livejournal.com]

lmao why do i get so offended whenever someone doesn't like my favorite character? :[[ oh suzaku~

i used to love euphemia but now she's my least favorite character. she's too perfect and i guarantee in season two some dirt is going to get dug up. also, no series destroys a character that badly and randomly unless they really deserved it. LOOK AT ROSSIU, FOR EXAMPLE.
