Bojack Horseman. A great character, but not really likable.

Severus Snape isn't heroic or likable, but his story is compelling.

Luke Skywalker is a whiny shit in A New Hope, but you still root for him because his story is compelling.

A character has to be compelling and likability is how most writers accomplish that, but they're not identical.

Yes. Exactly. We're all saying that likability doesn't necessarily make a character compelling. You're the one who assumed the opposite.

The fandom really can ruin a show for you. /sug/ is shit, and almost everyone online is a shit who talks about it. I watched the whole season before even meeting any place online talking about it, after that, it's hard to view the show the same way again. That's not to say I hate it now, but certain aspects are completely null and void when I used to probably think it was clever.

I'm not saying every Steven Universe fan is a fucking idiot, I'm obviously one, but the general census is yea, most of the online population that talks about it is cancer.

>inb4 i'm su scum

I just wish people could have given the show a chance before knowing anything about the fandom. Most fandoms can be cancerous anyway. And I know some people are going to say they saw some of it before meeting any fandom parts and they still think it was shit, and that's perfect by me, but honestly most people just look at the fandom and see what they obsess over = that show a shit

There's a difference between "This character is a bad person" and "This character isn't fun to watch"

It's the same thing as when people call something "Mean Spirited". It's not that the characters are assholes, it's that the whole thing just feels uncomfortable to watch.

Strong Bad is a bad person but a likable character because he's an entertaining, over the top jerk, and is well written, thus fun to watch.

The cast of CatDog are all bad people, and yet they aren't fun to watch because they're nothing but miserable assholes all the time.

No, she wasn't well written at all. She was an asshole who thought she was perfect in every way. Had the show acknowledged this, she would be well written. But no, the show and in universe portrays her as totally in the right 100% of the time. It's like she's a writer self-insert or something, where they try to give her a flaw or two, but they forget to make it so she doesn't magically win every scenario she's put into.

That doesn't stop her from winning awards constantly for no reason, or beating Hank at everything, or always being in the right (like that retarded episode where she claims that everyone stole original ideas from her, but then they magically make it so she's right about Randy Travis doing it)

>>78697341

He works perfectly as a part of the story, but Joffrey himself isn't that interesting because he's too emotionally shallow. He's just a simple sadist, which is fitting, but I dunno if he shows the mastery of the writers. Anyone can write a character who is terrible and does terrible things and make us hate him. (He might have more depth in the books, but I haven't read them so I dunno.)

Probably a better example of a terrible but well-written character in TV is Tony Soprano. He's a violent sociopath and narcisist, but his character has a lot of depth to him so we find him interesting. Also, he's intelligent and can get inrospective at times, which are traits that are harder to write in a character than simple brutality.

A protagonist is supposed to be likable. When the protagonist is not likable, you end up with Legend of Korra. Korra's only likable trait is her body, and Bojack is not fuckable, hence he has no redeeming qualities at all. Despite the drama and "feels" of your shitty series, I'm not interested.

It's entertaining listening to the bullshit that fans make up to justify liking a character. 9 out of 10 times the "compelling backstory" was some crappy fan theory they got off a clickbait video, or it's interpreting what little motivation the character has into something far grander than what it really is.

I refuse to believe anybody actually liked that geeky faggot's performance. He didn't emote even slightly outside of DiCaprio-tier "I'm angry and yelling now" shit, and he wasn't the threat the movie desperately needed (and yes it did one; if they're copying a New Hope, Darth Vader's antagonist role is beyond mandatory.)

The scene between him and Harrison Ford was painful because we actually saw Ford emote believably for the first time in ten years, and this big-nose kike couldn't even meet him half way.

No, really I need to know, why the fuck do you guys like this show? I get Bojack is supposed to be unlikable, but the fact that you retards sympathize with him is where you guys lose me. Not to mention Princess Carolyn who is equally as shitty, if not more, but she's NEVER been given her well deserved comeuppance (at least not like bojack has).

Go ahead, fucking tell me why you like this guy so damn much.

Movies and TV in general are a visual medium you autist. This isn't fucking radio. Animation is style of medium that can tell different stories better. Like how stop-motion is better for scary worlds because the way puppets move is unsettling.

Cersei and Joffrey from Game of Thrones; total assholes but especially Cersei is a joy to read / watch because she fucks everything up so spectacularly. Same with Roose Bolton even though he doesn't get so much attention.

I also like Prince Hans from Frozen, who I is very interesting and realistic despite being a tremendous asshole and doing bad things.

A good story benefits from a well-written asshole character one can hate, or even an antihero main character who's a bit of a dick. Scarlett O'Hara from Gone With the Wind for example is a massive bitch and that's partly why the story is interesting. Don Draper from Mad Men for example is also a massive asshole. Alonzo Harris from the movie Training Day is a great character even though he's a horrible person and a total cunt.
Hans Landa from Inglorious Basterds is also a character who is good for the story even though they are a dreadful person.

But Spider Jerusalem is likeable. He's an asshole, for sure, but he has sympathetic qualities and a sort of code, and he's pretty funny to listen to. Even when he's being a bastard, it's generally so over the top that it just comes off as funny.

I've come to realize that being "tumblr" simply means pandering, for instance, changing a character's race/sexyality/gender/whatever to appease a small minority. So in a way "being tumblr" makes sense... Barely.

Being "Reddit" on the other hand simply means "I don't like this show because it's popular and I'm a contrarian hipster faggot who can't come up with an actual reason not to like the show."

Yes, he's not just some generic "big bad guy" but the show goes out of it's way to show that he's a horrible psychopath. You love to hate him.

"he's a horrible psychopath"
He's a villain with a huge ego. He was once dubbed the strongest being in the galaxy aside from Beerus and the mere mention of his name made grown men wet their pants. Couple that with his raw natural talent, you've got a guy who was literally born great.

When he's revived he doesn't rebuild his empire, he sets out to kill the guy who killed him because he'll be damned if some fucking monkey is stronger than him

And its funny, if Freiza had put more effort into training he would have been stronger than both Vegata and Goku

Little off topic, but I've struggled with social anxiety to the same level as her for most of my life and I thought the show was hilarious, almost kind of cathartic, probably was for the creator too because her portrayal is surprisingly accurate. Here's a quote from the article:

>It's just reveling in the pain of a mentally ill person—laughing at a girl who is even more awkward than they were in order to feel better about their own lives.

Lol

Watch the scenes in the Freeza saga where he impales Krillin and brutally tortures Vegeta. He's clearly enjoying himself way too much, almost in a sexual way. I don't really disagree with what you said but there's no denying he's a psycho.

Jotaro already outwitted him when it came to escaping the road roller and turning Dio's own time stopping against him. Jotaro already won, and only let Dio take another shot out of honor.

As for the showdown, I took that as Dio being undone by his own pride. Dio was so blinded by arrogance that he madly kicked at Jotaro with his already damaged leg while thinking that no Joestar could ever best him. It seemed like a fitting end for me.

Dio's major flaw is his anger getting the better of him in contrast of Jonathan's anger pushing him forward. Dio having a shit fit and blowing eveything he worked for is in character for him. I don't know why Jotaro is rival though. Even in Eyes Over Heaven, only Jotaro can beat the godly Purple Dio by himself.

Fucking dumbass the antagonist's job is to antagonize. If they do a good job at that then they are in fact a good character. A bad antagonist would be horrible at agonizing so it only makes sense it works the other way too.

His life is stuck in a trap caused by his own choices and he doesn't know how to get out. And it's basically fucking perfectly pulled off. It's not contrived at any point, you can see how he wants things to go well, but then through his effoorts, he plausibly makes things worse.
Then he gets miserable and fucks some random girl he met at a bar to try and fill the void in his life.

Bojack is one of the most real characters there is and he's a fucking talking cartoon horse.
