10 Worst Main Characters We’re Supposed to Sympathize With But Can’t Stand

The main characters highlight the entire show or movie, but sometimes they are so insufferable and dense that you wonder how they lasted so long.

We got some surprising answers when we asked viewers which characters they found problematic.

Jerry from Tom and Jerry

As a child who grew up rooting for Jerry for being able to outsmart the cat, it is no surprise that Jerry is considered one of the worst characters on television.

Emily from Emily in Paris

Emily is your typical Mary Sue character portrayed and often very hard to relate to. It is no wonder that many people dislike her with passion.

Velma from Velma

As someone who grew up watching Scooby-Doo, I was excited to watch Velma. Only to be disappointed and displeased with the injustice done to Velma’s character.

Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory

As someone who watches The Big Bang Theory as a comfort show, Sheldon Cooper is one of the most infuriating characters in the show.

Severus Snape from Harry Potter

Snape is one of the worst recurring characters in the Harry Potter franchise. Snape was just a terrible person with no real depth to his character.

Claire from Outlander

As someone who can travel back to the past, Claire does not attempt to be discreet. A fan commented how careless, irresponsible, and thoughtless she is.
