I don’t think it’s interesting to get pissed off at villains. That’s their point. Yes, it’s very easy to hate Dolores Umbridge. You’re supposed to. I want to hear from the people that hate Garp, or Forrest Gump.
I’ll start. Bill Shatner pissed me the fuck off as Captain Kirk. Part of it is backward-projecting from what the Federation became into the sexist shit they were doing in the 60s, but a much bigger part of it was from his SNL skit where he told fans to “get a life.”
If you want to deepen and broaden your hatred for Shatner, watch "The Captains," where he interviews Patrick Stewart, Avery Brooks, Kate Mulgrew, and Chris Pine and comes off as a pompous, sexist asshole.
Also, Avery Brooks makes Shatner look like a fucking dweeb, which is worth it.
I am going to add that to my hate-watch list.
I hate Jenny from Forrest Gump. But I'm sure plenty of wounded men share that perspective.
I used to hate Jenny but I have more sympathy for her now. She's a scared, broken person too.
I agree. Jenny is not someone any of us (sisters, brothers, or others) would want to be. I think that we can identify with Forrest, but Jenny is truly broken. She’s not dumping him to go live some fabulous lifestyle. She’s on a completely self destructive arc while Forrest goes from strength to strength, even when suffering the loss of friends and family.
When you think about it, I can’t think of anyone wishing their life was like Jenny’s rather than like Forrest’s. Even taking the money and shit out of it, I know which I’d prefer.
