Fiction and its effects on emotions

Spiderman: Far From Home is a great movie. I'd say it's one of the best in the MCU. But why did they feel the need to include Brad? This character isn't likeable, there's no big payoff for having him around, and all he does is make Peter feel jealous, which is A.) Not necessary at all, and B.) Something that would be much more effective if built into Flash or Mysterio instead.

 

I don't really get angry at all so its really hard for fiction to get me angry with one exception. I might get some controversial marks here but I hated the diamonds from Steven universe. I'll say this and let it speak for itself, the diamonds are characters that get redeemed after performing experiments on reanimating dead gems, committing several genocides and trying to destroy the main cast. I simply do not agree with these characters getting redeemed.

 

Yosuke Hanamura in Persona 4 - both the anime and the video game. He's a homophobic piece of trash and I despise him with every fibre of my being for his treatment of Kanji and the way it is generally accepted by the rest of the cast. Added that he in no way improves or grows as a character, and is present from the very beginning, only makes it worse. I've come across a lot of annoying characters, but he is by far the worst.

This is a weird one too, but Jayfeather in the Warriors series of books has earned a lot of borderline anger from me for dragging me through the most tediously boring flashbacks in existence. That he is given a central story role for TWO series - that's twelve books! - and his entire character seems to revolve around him being blind and being obsessed with cats long dead who are extremely boring to read about, only makes it worse. They could have done SOMETHING interesting with him at least, considering the other two of the Three are pretty interesting and well-developed characters.

...dare I talk about Akemi Homura? I'd better not. That'd triple the length of this post. No, let's stay out of that little minefield...because then I'll have to talk about the rest of the cast of that show, too.

 

Captain Marvel. I loved Avengers: Endgame, and admittedly, even the Captain Marvel movie(mostly because of Goose). However, there’s something about this character that doesn’t fit in. I’m fine with strong, female characters, and as a girl myself, I appreciate that very much. Though CM just felt... unnecessary. The only remarkable thing she did in Endgame was bring Tony Stark back to Earth. Her lack of personality didn’t really help either(other than being overly smug). Her introduction just felt like a money grab by Disney, gaining over 1 billion dollars. They should have introduced her during Phase 1 and gave her more meaningful character development. Plus it’s not like Marvel is incapable of introducing new characters late into the MCU, Black Panther being a perfect example. BP had a purpose. It showed how he dealt with life after his father’s death. CM’s movie spot should have been reserved for Black Widow, which would have tied in perfectly with her sacrifice in Endgame.

 

So there’s this TV show my sisters used to watch. Idk I any of you have heard of it, but it’s called stuck in the middle. It was a show on disney channel about the middle child in a family of 7 siblings. I can’t tell you how much I despised the show (thank goodness they stopped showing it, but I digress). The characters especially made me angry. Let me describe the 9 main characters, the family members (because having 9 main characters is always a good idea):
-stereotypical dumb/bumbling parents
-stereotypical snobby fashionista
-some kid trying too hard to be a bad boy
-girl who tries to be good at sports. Also a goody two shoes
-the middle kid, who constantly complains about being the middle kid and feeling neglected
-the generic messy/dirty dumb characters
-a little brat who thinks she’s intimidating by being the youngest sibling
Yeah that doesn’t sound like a good lineup of character traits, does it? I especially hate the youngest sibling, Daphne. For one, she can barely speak clearly. She’s another messy character and her family is afraid of her. (Last I checked, I wasn’t scared of any of my sisters when they were 5 years old.) On top of all of that, she is a rude, bratty character that is absolutely unbearable to watch.
