14 Awful Movie Characters Who Should Have Been Killed Off In The First Episode
In the world of cinema, there have been movies where protagonists faced the wrath of audiences at the beginning of the movie. These characters, despite being supposed to be the most significant element to attract viewers, failed to strike a chord with viewers due to their flawed personalities, questionable actions, or simply being unrelatable.
Many viewers give them a second chance, thinking when the story unfolded and deeper layers were revealed, they’ll understand and empathize with these characters. However, in many cases, the hope turns out to be a disappointment. These characters are a mixed bag and viewers just want them never to exist.
#1. Galadrial from Rings of Power

The actress is terrible. That and the show took a regal and powerful female character and turned her into a rabid war mongering warrior. (HoraceBenbow)
I’m not sure how they did it, but they managed to make her the most eminently unlikable person I’ve ever seen head a TV show. I have nothing against the actress, but I can’t stand their version of Galadriel. (TheHeroOfAllTime)
#2. Olivia Benson from Law & Order: SVU
Source: NBC
She jumps to way too many conclusions, will not give it a rest, and acts on a 'guilty until proven innocent' mindset that often gets on my wick. (early_onset_villainy)
#3. Mike Wheeler from Stranger Things
Source: Netflix
He just became insufferable, whiney, and so controlling over El. Also, the way he was rude to Hopper in his own home was infuriating. (Four-Eyed-Idiot)
#4. Fiona from Shameless
Source: Showtime
She really was terrible! Brought on a lot of her own problems and then felt so sorry for herself all the time.(supernovaj)
#5. Debbie from Shameless
Source: Showtime
Debbie is by far the most annoying character since she tried to baby trap some dude, but honestly, every character sucks ass. (Paleomedicine)
As she aged she became so unbearable. All she did was scream at everyone like she was out to get the world. (EhlersDanlosSucks)
#6. Lorelai from Gilmore Girls...

I stopped watching that show because as I grew up and became more emotionally mature, I realized how immature Lorelai was. (Regular-Procedure-86)
Lorelai from Gilmore Girls/Sarah Braverman in Parenthood. I combine these characters into one, because they’re the same exact annoying shitty character in both shows. Just go away and stop helicopter parenting whilst being an absolute train wreck. (CactapusRex)
#7. James from Twin Peaks
Source: ABC
He was so weak and whiny and unnecessarily put a lot of blame for Laura Palmer's death on himself but even more so for Maggie's. His character was so useless, and it just got progressively worse even into Season 3 because they had no idea what to do with him. And damn that song... (MeadhallMike)
#8. Walter White from Breaking Bad
Source: AMC
Every choice he makes puts his family at risk, he refuses to help out of stupid pride, he’s arrogant, and he wound up getting at least 160 people killed. He’s a brilliant chemist, but he’s a shit businessman and an evil person. (DrApprochMeNot)
One of the most frustrating moments of the show was when Hank and the DEA concluded Gale was Heisenberg, but a drunk Walt’s pride could not let someone else take credit for his illegal work. (BigTuna0890)
#9. Elena from The Vampire Diaries
Source: The CW
I hated how everyone was always protecting her, sacrificing themselves for her… but what does Elena do? Whine put herself in dangerous situations, and just make it harder for everyone else. Also, she was a complete douche for the entire Stefan/Damon thing. (Loose-Locksmith-6860)
She’s a bit bland, but the main thing I didn’t like about her was how she always made everything about herself ([for example,] Caroline’s mom is dying and Elena made it about herself [and] even has a 'romantic scene' with Damon right after). She also refuses to take accountability for her actions (she hurt her friends when her humanity was off, and when they brought it up to her when her humanity was back on, she told them not to expect an apology, because she was too busy wallowing in self pity). She also left her boyfriend for his brother. (girlpower0823)
#10. Hannah From Girls
Source: HBO
The character was not that interesting. At least to me, she seemed [like a] one-dimensional, narcissistic, privileged first-world baby who flips out every time life is more complex than she had thought.(atlanticbluemarine)
The whole set of characters was incredibly self-centered, shallow, and uncaring. The way they portrayed friendship was disheartening; everything was about serving their own egos. (atlanticbluemarine)
#11. Rachel from Glee
Source: Fox
I watched it at 12 and thought, 'Oh, poor Rachel is just a misunderstood, quirky, talented girl.' Watched again a couple years later and nope. (2004moon2004)
Every time they said she was the best singer, it ruined the reality for me. MAYBE she was the best technical singer in-universe, but Mercedes’s voice was just much nicer to listen to. Everyone else’s voice was so much nicer to listen to. I hated her, but I also hated the hard-on the creators/writers had for her. (I_am_also_a_Walrus_)
#12. Carrie from Sex and the City
Source: HBO
Unbelievably entitled, shallow, spoiled, and treated all of her friends like shit. I don't enjoy the show for what it is; it's my favorite hate-watch — just to see the new depths Carrie will sink to every episode.
Especially heinous was when she got herself into debt by tanking her relationship with the guy who bought and was renovating her apartment and turned down money offered by two of her best friends just so she could bitch out the one that didn't offer.
#13. Will from Glee
Source: Fox
Rachel was awful, and the show knew it (most of the time). Will was actually the worst. Dude was an absolute scumbag. (AliasUndercover123)
His 'rapping' was a crime against. (humanity.mkatherine_)
#14. Sabrina from Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
Source: Netflix
I had to drop that show because of her. She is the direct cause of all her own suffering and that of those around her. How many plot lines need to revolve around her being repeatedly told not to do something by literally everyone she knows, only for her to decide she knows best, do it anyway, and then have the gall to act like the victim when it all blows up in her face. She has got to be one of the most self-serving, un-relatable protagonists ever written. Without that protagonist specifically being the villain of their own story. (PhoenixFalls)
