Manhattan is my least favorite Crimebuster in the novel (which is ironic since chapter 4 is my favorite chapter), but by no means do I hate him. I have a whole list of minor characters who are far more unlikeable.

I would say Gloria Long is my least favorite character, due to her selfishness in chapter 11. Or those knot-tops who killed Hollis Mason...

Manhattan was actually one of my favorite characters, personally. I think he balanced out the story by showing the overly emotional, entirely human characters that the use of cold, hard logic can often be more valid than an irrational emotional response. Sometimes, people forget that human beings are simply intelligent animals and that the universe is much larger and more important than our own small affairs.

If we were judging characters by personality, I'd have to say that the Comedian is my least favorite main character. He's essentially a pawn of the government and seems to enjoy killing for his own twisted reasons, rather than "love of country". I won't even get into the attempted rape, but he clearly has some sadistic sexual tendencies as well.

I didnt like Doctor Manhattan either. This is a guy who has powers greater than superman and wont use them to make the world a better place. Heck he could create a billion tons of food for the people in Kenya, smash the Berlin Wall using his mind. The worst crux is when the comedian goes nuts and blasts his Viet girlfriend. I mean gimme a break, he shoulda turned the gun into bubbles or teleported them to New Mexico.
People who have the power to do good yet choose not to use it sicken me.

Dr. Manhattan not helping out others was a major part of the story. He was losing touch with humanity, he wasn't interested in mankind's problems anymore. He simply didn't care.

You're not supposed to feed them.

He did it.

sorry, must've missed the sign

Doug Roth, and prolly everyone in Nova Express: Roth not only was a douche at the Q&A, but also the way he wrote in his interview with Viedt. Speaking of which, he's a dick rider. Kissing up so damn much to Viedt. Everything about this guy makes me want to fight him. Alos, I believe he helped Viedt intentionally, being told to put blame on Manhatten. Now that I think of it, both could be homosexaul partners. Hurm.

Dan (Lauries step dad): Hate people like that.

Knot Tops: Killing Mason upset me in the comics, I felt more sad though. When I saw Hollis die in the motion comic, I was angered and sad. I can't wait for The End Is Nigh game to beat the hell out of them.

Gloria Long: Orignally, I didn't hate her, but the board makes a good point. Just cause she can't get any, she becomes unreasonable and leaves him? I know, she is neglected, but Malcolm just really wants to help and understand Rorschach.

Two Bernies: Actually no, I don't hate them. It's just, in the chapter when Dan and Rorschach confront Viedt, I was so impatient. Kept on going to them.

Ozymandias: When you think about it, he was also willing to kill a unknowing Dan, Rorschach, Laurie, and Mason. He really sold out too. And I just didn't agree with his plan. I know, greater good, blah blah blah, but he shouldn't take it into his own hands to judge the cost. Also, he killed his man servants, who he could likely have trusted, I mean, he took them in.

Wait, I thought his name was Laurence/Larry?

I wish all the homophobes and religious-right and people who love to live in the sixth century had one throat and that I had my hands about it.

For core characters, Laurie. I like her character, but she falls short compared to the others. I just didn't find her as interesting.

For minor characters, Derf the Knot Top. That dickhead killed hollis.

Really, there's a lot of characters I hate because of their personalities, but I found that they were well written or their bullshit made me laugh, so they're not on my list.

Bernie's "Let god sort it out" line disgusted me, but was very representative of certain people in America, so, in essence, I liked him as a character. Same goes for Rorschach, the journalists, and Nixon.

I never liked Silk Spectre II. Seemed like the whiny bitch of the book.

Hmm.

I don't know if I have anyone in the book I can call a least favourite. It's always hard for me, in well done fiction. I can step back, look at the story, and see why every piece is there, and everyone has their role to play in Watchmen, so it's hard for me to say if there's someone there I don't like. Even characters who might not be as favoured still have their moments...

To say some characters are a least favourite to me, almost starts to feel like I'm saying they shouldn't be there, and I often can't do that. =)

Oh wow. Doug Roth I totally forgot about him. God I hated that guy. He would be as if Keith Olbermann and Maureen Dowd had a baby. People like him who lied about the facts in Iraq are the reason that we almost lost the war. Heck, they are the reason we lost Vietnam...liberal media..grrr.

I didn't care for the taxi cab woman and her girlfriend, and their little soap opera. I know the thematic reason for it, but was just bored to tears with it. Luckily, they're just minor characters

Please take O' Reilly-esque nonsense out of this forum - it has nothing to do with the Watchmen GN.
