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]

Honestly, I never really took to anyone in Code Geass until Mao came along. God, I love Mao, and I'd say why, but ahaha, not the right post to do that!

Suzaku is one of the bigger irks to me. I don't hate him, but I don't love him. I'm more on the dislike side, but juuuuust kinda teetering there. It's more because he seems to be able to do anything. He can de-whatever-it-is-when-you-stop-a-bomb-from-exploding (pardon my French) while the bomb is hanging off a wire and swinging, he's the best pilot for Lancelot, he saves people while chasing after another Knightmare frame, and he's Euphie's knight despite his Japanese upbringing? Geez, I thought it was a bit overkill. It worked out in the end, and Suzaku does have his downfalls that make up for this, but it just really. Really. Bothers me.

Nina. NINA FREAKS ME OUT, MY GOD GET HER AWAY. I just can't watch her on-screen anymore, especially after the last two episodes. She needs HELP, man. Get her off screen and give her a therapist, please, she's scaring me! Do it for my sanity.

Those are really the only two. besides that, I like everyone else, faults and all. The more faults and the more skewed their perspective is, the better. The only exceptions are these two.

...finally, someone who likes Mao. He's so adorably crazy.

If there was a character I had to say I hated...probably Viletta. What she did to Ougi was ass. True, their subplot was just kinda out there to fill screen time but shooting him in the stomach was kinda fail. One could ARGUE that since she didn't shoot to kill she's not THAT much of a bitch, but come on, if The da Vinci Code has taught us anything it's that stomach wounds are a horrible way to die. :P

(Also, what's funny is, I absolutely ADORE Suzaku yet do find his bizarre superhuman traits to be really off-putting. RUNNING SIDEWAYS UP A WALL??? WHAT???)

What, no, this isn't my Mao journal, what are you saying. He is, and the best part is, is that beneath the crazy, he's actually kinda sweeeeet. You know, past the chainsaws and all.

Viletta. Yes. Fail. The subplot was eeeeh, but that scene? Really awesome to watch, but morally FAIL. *not a short answer, no*

(I cling to you. For you love Mao and find Suzaku's abilities off-putting. *clings*)

OH NO YOU DID NOT JUST REFERENCE THE DA VINCI CODE TO BACK UP A POINT YOU JUST MADE.

Our friendship is over.

I meant it more as a mocking thing because somebody on 4chan once tried to give a convincing argument along those lines. I wish I'd known how to 'fix' comments on 4chan back then because I totally would've.

FRIENDSHIP BACK ON

Oh MY, I was just telling runesque how much I love Mao, and how much I would have loved if they had kept him around for longer. Hell, I wouldn't mind some Mao/Lulu senpai love. They could go all crazy and orphan together. It would be a thing of beauty. :D
