Creator's Pest	comment	There are characters that a majority of the fanbase dislike. But, it's also possible for a creator to hate a certain character and working with them in their own work. Maybe that character is born out/modified because of an Executive Meddling, maybe the creator realized that they have written the character wrongly, maybe the creator has gotten tired of the character because fans keep asking for more, or maybe the creator is pressed because the character they intended to be unlikable ends up having a lot of fans. Or perhaps the character is simply hard to draw or portray; one can only strain their wrists and vocal chords so many times before they start to resent the cause. Often, it's a case of the character just came with the work, such as where a creator joined the staff after the character was created. Or maybe the work is an adaptation and the character is too important to the story to be Adapted Out. This dislike often shows in how the creator handles the character. They might try to keep them as Out of Focus as possible or write them out, give them Character Derailment or Adaptation Personality Change into something more their liking, or turn them into a total Butt-Monkey. However, being any of those tropes doesn't necessarily mean that the creator hates them. Note this does not apply to creators disliking characters from other works thus bashing or portraying negatively in their work, as they do like their work version of them. And as Fan Works lack the Creativity Leashes that force creators to include/work with characters they don't like, it only applies to their Original Character or characters they're "forced" to include (such as by co-creators, audience demand, or not being able to write around) despite not liking them. The opposite of Creator's Favorite, where a character is well liked by the creator. Not to be confused with Creator's Pet, where a character is loved by a creator but hated by the fans. See also Unpopular Popular Character, when a character is loathed by in-universe characters but is well liked by the audience. If this goes for an entire work however, that is instead a case of Creator Backlash. In-universe examples are Old Shame. Please only put examples of the creator admitting that they dislike the character.

This didn't set well with Vince, who would take any opportunity to bury the Total Divas cast. Case in point, when A.J. Lee turned down the show, Vince gave her the green light to give her infamous "Pipe Bombshell" promo. When the Bella Twins won "Diva of the Year," presumingly due to their exposure on the show, Vince was so furious he yelled at them when they got backstage.

So when he wrote the sequel Ward, he not only had her embrace villainy (which she'd fought against doing all the way through Worm), but also included flashbacks from the Worm era that retconned some of her thought processes, specifically to make her look like a much worse person.

Levy had worked in WWF in the early 90s as Johnny Polo, and introduced his son Shane to the partying life, which is what led to the grudge. When Raven was signed, Vince didn't realize that it was Levy playing the character until he actually saw the man backstage and recognized him.note Vince rarely if ever actually watched anything that people he wanted to sign did, he always depended on his underlings to find talent and bring them to him. Whoever brought him in either didn't know or deliberately didn't tell Vince that Scotty Flamingo, Johnny Polo, and Raven are all the same person. This is why Raven never got pushed while working for WWE.

Flynn also wasn't very found of Drago Wolf, due to his Obviously Evil personality, and had him beat up as much as possible. He got tired of this however, and eventually made him one of the Grandmasters of the Soumerca Dark Egg Legion. Ken Penders didn't like Mina Mongoose, only including her in the Mobius: 25 Years Later storyline because the head writer at the time, Karl Bollers, happened to be her creator. As a result, she's only briefly seen during a flashback partially obscured by her family.

While she still gets the occasional reference or cameo, she was jettisoned from the mainline games after the first entry: Sony of Japan wanted a more family-friendly female character, a Universal Studios executive disliked her outright, and developer Naughty Dog was just plain dissatisfied with the character's design. Fast-forward to Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time decades later, and new developers Toys For Bob went on record as stating that they disliked Tawna for being nothing more than Crash's sexy girlfriend, and wrote her out of the series with the explanation that Crash and Coco had lost contact with her. To ensure Tawna couldn't return, she was replaced by an Action Girl alternate universe counterpart who is so radically different she's effectively a new character.

Creator's Pest / int_1bd9c52c	comment	Lobo: Keith Giffen had little love for Lobo, despite having created the guy and written his defining stories. This mostly owed to viewing him as a major case of Do Not Do This Cool Thing: Lobo had been written as an over-the-top parody of a '90s Anti-Hero, and then become popular because he was indistinguishable from a standard '90s Anti-Hero, attracting all the usual fans for that kind of character, and the gag ended up wearing thin. According to the behind-the-scenes of 52, Giffen hated the idea of bringing Lobo back, actively begged Grant Morrison to reinvent the character as much as possible, and decided Grant was the right person to write Lobo when they admitted to not being a big fan of him. This is why Lobo spends most of his appearances in that series as a priest of a god of space dolphins operating under a vow of nonviolence (which he despises).

Creator's Pest / int_22147342	comment	Arrow: Controversial former showrunner Marc Guggenheim was blatant for his apathy to Katie Cassidy and her characters. It got to the point that Cassidy's original character was made Out of Focus for most of the episodes before eventually being killed-off, and despite the ease for which she could have been resurrected she remains dead, and the second character (an alternate universe counterpart of her) was unable to make the Heelâ€“Face Turn that fans wanted, though she did eventually do so by the time his tenure as showrunner was ending. Even after he was no longer the showrunner, he retained enough influence that the original Laurel Lance was never resurrected when Crisis on Infinite Earths (2019) rebooted the universe. The reasoning for this was explicitly that Guggenheim preferred the character Felicity Smoak, so he gave her preferred treatment. Before Guggenheim, the previous showrunner Andrew Kreisberg wasn't innocent of this, as under his tenure Laurel was constantly being given little to do besides serving as a Damsel Scrappy or chewing out other characters, and after a while being chewed out by other characters. As noted under comic books, Kreisberg was known for not being a fan of Black Canary, so the fact her adaptation was so shoddily treated isn't much of a surprise. His accusations of misogyny and a toxic work environment that got him terminated from the show, however, suggest that, unlike other writers who similarly disliked the character, his reasons for doing so stemmed from his misogyny.

This may be why neither has ever made a second proper appearance in the series note Winky makes a cameo in DKC2 in the Monkey Museum and Rattly appears in Donkey Kong Land 2, which is much closer to its SNES counterpart than its predecessor, and why the third DKC game lacks any animal buddy with a high-jump ability.note The GBA ports of both games rework Winky and Rattly's hopping into a normal running animation, rather than having them be periodically airborne while "running".

Creator's Pest / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: Matt Groening and Harry Shearer hated Dr. Marvin Monroe because the former found his voice annoying (which is ironic, considering the fact that Groening based him on David Viscott, a radio therapist he was a fan of, despite some people finding his voice annoying), while the latter strained his throat voicing him. As a result, the character disappeared from the show in its seventh season. He came back in three episodes; "Diatribe of a Mad Housewife" (mostly just to joke about his long absence), "Treehouse of Horror XXV" (to joke about him being an artifact of the show's early days; the segment he appeared in was about the Simpsons' Tracey Ullman-era selves), and "Flanders' Ladder" (as a ghost). Groening has said he doesn't like Database, as he finds him very annoying. While not hated outright, writer Bill Oakley once noted Marge was the most difficult character of the Simpson family to write episodes for, to the point new writers were often assigned Marge episodes as a test of their storytelling skills.

Creator's Pest / int_28c6afce	comment	Thomas & Friends: Daisy was this to the staff members who operated the scale train models during the show's first few seasons. Her model was troublesome to work with, and as a result, she didn't appear very much during the model era. Shining Time Station creator Rick Siggelkow also found Daisy a female stereotype due to her fluttering eyelids, which was why "Daisy" and "Percy's Predicament" were never broadcast on Shining Time Station, neither during the Ringo Starr era nor the George Carlin era.note George Carlin's narrations of "Daisy" and "Percy's Predicament" were, however, released commercially on the Daisy and Other Thomas Stories VHS tape, which was later re-issued as the Percy Takes the Plunge DVD. Since Daisy's return to the series after its shift to CGI animation, she has been featured more prominently. Henry was also notably hard to handle from the writing team's point of view, due to his huge change in personality after Season 8. In Season 22, he was Demoted to Extra and his position on the Steam Team was taken by Rebecca, with his appearances since his departure being limited mostly to brief cameos. In fact, Henry's status as a Creator's Pest is even extended to The Railway Series books that the TV series is based on: being the Rev. W. Awdry's least-favorite character. Awdry even considered writing Henry out due to issues with illustrator C. Reginald Dalby drawing him inconsistently, and would have had Henry be scrapped after his accident in "The Flying Kipper". He ultimately rewrote the story to have Henry undergo a major rebuild instead, at least partially to ensure that Dalby kept Henry's design consistent from then on.

Among the reasons for this is because the plan was for FÃ©lix to be indifferent and rude towards Marinette in civilian life and manipulative towards her when she's Ladybugnote The only reason he tries to win her over is because a kiss imbued with her good luck will remove the ring he wears that brings misfortune to him, and said that if the 2D version does get made, Cat Noir would still be Adrien from the series proper, not FÃ©lix. When FÃ©lix was eventually incorporated into the show as Adrien's cousin in season 3, he was written to be a thoroughly unpleasant Hate Sink, and then this was doubled down by him stealing and giving Hawk Moth all of the Miraculous other than Ladybug and Cat in the season 4 finale.

Creator's Pest / int_2b00412	comment	The Avengers: Roy Thomas didn't care for Quicksilver, which is why he wrote the character out of the book twice. Thomas apparently wasn't the only one who felt this way, as there was an internal company memo from 1972 that ranked the various Marvel heroes in order of importance, with Quicksilver coming in dead last among the Avengers. Editor Mark Gruenwald rather infamously disliked that Roger Stern made Monica Rambeau, then known as Captain Marvel (a character Stern had created during his time writing The Amazing Spider-Man (1963), whose arc in Avengers followed her growth from rookie to veteran), the team leader of The Avengers over the established Captain America, whose book Gruenwald was writing at the time. He pushed Stern to reverse the decision, and although Stern was prepared to do it, he pushed back against the Unfortunate Implications of Gruenwald's instructions that Monica had to be shown screwing up as leader and then acknowledging Cap as a better choice to lead the team, and Gruenwald responded by having Stern removed from the book. Much later on, under the same editor, she was also stripped of the title Captain Marvel, with Rambeau "willingly" giving the title to Mar-Vell's biological son Genis-Vell.

Creator's Pest / int_2bbcacd9	comment	Looney Tunes: Several Warner Bros. staff grew to hate Porky Pig, particularly director Frank Tashlin, citing him to be "a terrible character" who was less charismatic and flexible to the franchise's trademark slapstick as later additions such as Bugs and Daffy, and felt forced to make cartoons of him in starring roles due to his title billing. Porky's last solo cartoon in The Golden Age of Animation was 1951's "The Wearing of the Grin", and after that, he got demoted to sidekick for the rest of his appearances. Even his own creator, Friz Freleng (who, tellingly, stopped using him long before Jones or McKimson did, after 1952's Cracked Quack) made fun of how much more boring he was to utilize: Ironically among the few of the staff that loved Porky was producer and later head of marketing, Leon Schlesinger, which may explain why Porky's career flourished far less upon his death. In Chuck Amuck, Chuck Jones admits to initially having a hard time with Porky, but finally realizing he worked very well both as an easily relatable Everyman character and a Straight Man for other wackier stars, resulting in his frequent pairings with Daffy. The dislike of the character extends to the present day; animator Mike Fontanelli (who works for Warner Bros.) claims that Porky's current downplaying is a result of an unexplained dislike of the character by many Warner Bros. executives. They appear to have gotten over it since then, because in Looney Tunes Cartoons, Porky is just as prominent as Bugs, if not more so. Porky is also one of the main characters in Bugs Bunny Builders, giving him much more screentime than the previous preschool-friendly Looney Tunes spin-off, Baby Looney Tunes, where his appearances were limited to the music videos. Friz Freleng wasn't fond of Elmer Fudd, stating the character was too dumb and pitiful, thus Bugs Bunny's usual Karmic Trickery on him made him look too sympathetic and caused a delicate dance to avoid Bugs looking like a Designated Hero. Because of that, he created Yosemite Sam as a more formidable and less sympathetic foe for Bugs. The main reason why Chuck Jones retooled Bugs and Daffy into a cool winner and a jealous loser (respectively) was that he disliked their original Troll personas. Conversely, Robert McKimson was slow to adapt to their new personalities because he preferred their older ones. He even thought that Bugs had become an outright Flat Character during the mid-to-late '50s due to how reserved he got. Ironically, Jones did not have the same hard feelings towards Porky or Elmer as his fellow directors, as they feature in some of his most beloved shorts, such as Robin Hood Daffy and What's Opera, Doc?. Producer Eddie Selzer hated the Tasmanian Devil for being too "grotesque", and ordered Robert McKimson to stop making cartoons about him. He would later relent because he was popular among the fandom (and because Jack Warner himself liked Taz). Selzer wasn't fond of PepÃ© Le Pew either, claiming there was nothing funny about a skunk who spoke French after watching For Scent-imental Reasons (which is ironic, considering that particular cartoon ended up winning an Oscar).

Creator's Pest / int_31a8701b	comment	Though fans generally agreed with Faerber's dislike of the DEOrphans and sympathized with the situation, less can be said about his view and treatment of Jesse Quick, who he inherited from Devin Grayson's run. Despite having been a well-liked character on the book (and a well-liked Flash supporting character), he felt that Jesse didn't fit with the rest of the cast, and so that became the basis of her characterisation, being the outsider of the group. She was then given a storyline seemingly designed solely to turn fan reception against her (she was revealed to have been having an affair with her mother's fiancÃ©), had her budding teased romance with Nightwing crushed, and instead spent the rest of her time with the team being The Friend Nobody Liked with Nightwing making it clear he could barely tolerate her. Ironically, Devin Grayson had given Faerber and out by having Jesse quit during her last few issues, but in the ones they co-wrote, Jesse was convinced to stay, leading directly to these hated storylines.

It wasn't until Fellini shot the scene of Casanova and the nun that he began to sympathize with Casanova's inability to love, giving him the character of the mechanical doll and the dream ending.

Creator's Pest / int_3717ea4a	comment	DC Animated Universe: The reason why the Riddler didn't appear that much in Batman: The Animated Series was because the creators felt that he was hard to write for and that he made plots too complicated. While the crew finally got to use Firefly in The New Batman Adventures after pushback on BTAS, Paul Dini and Bruce Timm admit that he was one of the most boring villains to write for. Timm is on record as saying the crew of Superman: The Animated Series hated Professor Hamilton from day one. When DC rejected having Darkseid kill the Kents at the end of "Apokolips... Now!: Part 2", they'd briefly considered killing Hamilton until they realized it wouldn't have the impact they wanted. This is also likely why Hamilton only reappears in Justice League Unlimited to pull a Faceâ€“Heel Turn and work for Cadmus. More of a Base-Breaking Character within the crew in addition to the fandom, but some of the writers didn't like Max Gibson from Batman Beyond and used Bruce as an Author Avatar in "Where's Terry?" to vent their own feelings. Others, like Alan Burnett, liked her and actually attempted to have her replace Dana as Terry's girlfriend. This might explain why Max doesn't appear in Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker or the Fully Absorbed Finale "Epilogue" in Justice League Unlimited. Reportedly, the crew weren't very fond of Bane, considering him to be a gimmick villain. This would explain both the infrequency of his appearances and why he was made into an Adaptational Wimp. Seemingly further corroborated by the fact that the DTV film Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman, which prominent crew members such as Bruce Timm and Paul Dini had no involvement with, portrayed Bane as much more of a genuine threat to Batman. Dwayne McDuffie considered Wonder Woman to be the hardest character of the core Justice League to write. He saw her as lacking a coherent concept (an Amazon ambassador who wears patriotic colors and has an invisible jet and a truth lasso and Flying Brick powers) compared to the other Leaguers, who were either strongly defined in other shows or had much clearer gimmicks. He also felt that, given the Broken Base surrounding the character, it was hard to give her any kind of quirks or flaws or personality that wouldn't result in some faction of her fans yelling at him.

Creator's Pest / int_396e0331	comment	Classic Disney Shorts: According to biographer Neal Gabler, Walt Disney reportedly hated Goofy, considered his cartoons to be nothing but "stupid cartoons with gags tied together" and considered axing the Goofy series altogether, but didn't go through with it since it gave his Goofy-loving animators something to work on. That said, neither Gabler nor his book cites any source for the claim of Walt hating Goofy.note Gabler's source may have been Harry Tytle's book One of Walt's Boys, specifically a chapter called "Shorts Go Out of Style", and even then, there is no evidence that Walt hated Goofy; his main issue with the Goofy cartoons was that they were, in Walt's words, "no good for merchandising." In fact, there is evidence that Walt had warmed up to the character by the 1950's, even dedicating several episodes to him on his Walt Disney Presents television show. According to Leonard Maltin's "Of Mice and Magic", some of the Donald Duck staff grew to dislike the character and how formula driven his shorts became over time. One of the directors, veteran Jack Hannah (no relation to Hanna-Barbera) even complained "I got so damned tired of that duck's voice. I just could not stand having to work with it all the time." Likewise, Bill Peet, in his own autobiography, admitted to disliking Donald so much that at one point during the production of one short, he would temporarily leave Disney in a fit of rage after being handed a giant stack of Donald Duck drawings, screaming "NO MORE DUCKS!!! NO MORE LOUSY DUCKS!" in the process.

Rowling doesn't seem to hate Draco Malfoy, but she often expresses concern about his massive popularity, which she mostly attributes to him having a talented, good-looking actor in the films. However, she does hate Pansy Parkinson, his Distaff Counterpart, who lacks his redeeming qualities. Rowling admits that Pansy is a stand-in for all of the girls who used to make fun of her, which makes sense when one remembers that Hermione is largely based on Rowling as a child. She has called Vernon Dursley, Harry's abusive uncle, her least favorite character, however. Notably, he does not get any Character Development — unlike his wife and son, who also started out pretty awful. Rowling revealed that she thought about giving Dudley magical kids in the Distant Finale, but decided "no magical genes could survive contact with Uncle Vernon's DNA".

Creator's Pest / int_43576f5	comment	Supernatural: Season 2 set up a storyline with a number of "psychic kids" that were also fed demon blood and had similar powers to Sam. Two of the psychic kids, Andy and Ava were well-liked by fans but creator Eric Kripke explained on that Season's DVD commentary that the storyline wasn't working and so had all the psychic kids killed off in a battle royale storyline at the end of Season 2. The angel Castiel was a fan-favorite upon his first appearance, thanks to his interesting dynamic with Dean and his mysterious motives. Originally intended as a short-term character, he was supposed to die and a female Fallen Angel character was to take his place as the boys' angelic guide and Dean's long-term Love Interest. But fans far preferred Castiel, so he was promoted to series regular in Season 5, becoming the brothers' angel guide without the romantic element. The writers realized very quickly that they had made Castiel and all the angels massively overpowered. They constantly had to devise ways of neutralizing Castiel so the Winchesters could be the heroes during weekly monster hunts. In Season 6, new showrunner Sera Gamble made Castiel one of the Big Bads of the season, having him betray the Winchester brothers. However, the character remained a fan favorite. Some writers, especially Ben Edlund, also continued to like the character and so he was given highly sympathetic motivations that actor Misha Collins was able to play to the hilt. Even after the character committed multiple atrocities that seemed designed to make fans hate him and was killed off early in Season 7 fans still loved the character and ratings plummeted. By late Season 7, he was resurrected and given a several seasons long redemption arc. Gamble left the show and was replaced by Jeremy Carver, who was more sympathetic to the character but for the rest of the series, the writers had to find ways to de-power him and re-power him as the plot demanded. Complicating matters further was the fact that despite not being canon, Dean/Castiel became a Fan-Preferred Couple and one of the most popular fanfic pairings across all media while another significant subset of fans rejected/were oblivious to any subtext and saw the two as friends note Further complicating matters, prior to Castiel, the most prominent ship for Dean was his own brother and those who held to that ship disliked Castiel. Despite repeated attempts by the writers to pair Dean and Castiel off with female characters and their repeated insistence that the two were just friends, there remained quite a bit of perceived Ship Tease for Dean and Castiel. Various writers and actors expressed conflicting accounts of how much of this was intentional, though everyone seemed to agree fans were welcome to interpret things the way they liked. Cue a debate on queer baiting that bled into the mainstream media. In the end, final showrunner Andrew Dabb made Dean/Castiel half canon with Castiel admitting to being in love with Dean before dying in the final season. On the show, God himself appears in the final season and laments that the character never behaved the way he was intended and was "broken" from the start, which many fans took as the writers expressing frustration at the popularity of the character and by extension, the Dean/Castiel ship. Crowley was an incredibly popular villain thanks to his truth-telling and snark. However, as a villain, he had to be defeated regularly by the heroes and this led to Badass Decay. There was a flirtation with making him one of the good guys, a la Spike on later seasons of Buffy, but it never fully happened and it was clear that the writers just didn't know how to resolve the menacing, villainous side of the character with the snarky, innuendo-laden comic relief side of the character. Eventually, he was given a rather unsatisfying exit that Mark Sheppard was not happy with.

Creator's Pest / int_4dce0ef7	comment	Becky Lynch was originally a target to Kevin Dunn and Vince McMahon. Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported in September/October 2016 that Dunn hated her Dublin accent on her first reign as the inaugural SmackDown Women's Champion, as a reason why she lost to Alexa Bliss at TLC 2016 and later ended up Demoted to Extra for two years,note The accent and pale skin of fellow Irishman Sheamus is likewise to blame for his constant start-stop pushes over the years, and he's likely only getting to the "start" part because he's friends with Triple H before her sudden rise of popularity in 2018 when she snapped on Charlotte Flair for taking away her momentum at SummerSlam 2018, under the new Anti-Hero gimmick as "The Man", and the Monday Night Raw go home show for Survivor Series 2018 where she got busted open by a stiff punch from Nia Jax, which Becky shrugged off. This event catapulted Lynch as the current most over superstar in the company not named John Cena by taking the Brass Ring of Vince McMahon. The reason why Billie Kay was released was due to Dunn "not getting" her and declaring that he thought she "had a ceiling" in the company, despite being well-liked in the locker room and positive fan reaction since her split from The IIconics. The real reason was likely due to her Australian accent.

Porky is also one of the main characters in Bugs Bunny Builders, giving him much more screentime than the previous preschool-friendly Looney Tunes spin-off, Baby Looney Tunes, where his appearances were limited to the music videos.

He found both of them generic, to the point that while his original draft gave them a subplot together, he scrapped it and decided to instead append them to other newly-created characters' subplots because "they got along too well, it was just really boring... I knew something was wrong when I looked at their dialogue and realized I could interchange any of their lines." He jokingly expressed a desire to keep Finn in a coma for the course of the movie.

The feeling is shared by many within the animation team; Adam's own voice actor, Garrett Hunter, admitted that saying Adam's lines creeps him out. When Adam's character short debuted at RTX, CRWBY nicknamed him "The Worst".

Since then, Gatchako hasn't appeared in any incarnation of Doraemon since outside of a seconds-long cameo in the 2000s series, due to the current writers for Doraemon wanting to respect the original authors' wishes.

Her model was troublesome to work with, and as a result, she didn't appear very much during the model era. Shining Time Station creator Rick Siggelkow also found Daisy a female stereotype due to her fluttering eyelids, which was why "Daisy" and "Percy's Predicament" were never broadcast on Shining Time Station, neither during the Ringo Starr era nor the George Carlin era.note George Carlin's narrations of "Daisy" and "Percy's Predicament" were, however, released commercially on the Daisy and Other Thomas Stories VHS tape, which was later re-issued as the Percy Takes the Plunge DVD. Since Daisy's return to the series after its shift to CGI animation, she has been featured more prominently.

Creator's Pest / int_76e7de99	comment	Ed Greenwood, creator of Forgotten Realms, wasn't too fond of many of the monsters introduced in the original Fiend Folio, but seems to have had a special dislike for the xvarts, viewing them as both uncreative (being borderline identical in their initial function and role to goblins and kobolds) and redundant (D&D already had beings based on the svartalfar of mythology, namely the drow). Because of this, you can count the number of times a xvart appears in a pre-2000s Realms story on one hand. They only started popping up again in the days of 4th and 5th Edition, at which point Greenwood had lost a lot of his old grip and the xvarts had been retooled enough to stand out a bit more.

Creator's Pest / int_7884ec15	comment	Seinfeld's writers experienced a lot of headaches with Susan Ross, George's long-time girlfriend and fiancÃ©e, because actress Heidi Swanberg had poor chemistry with her costars and they found her difficult to work with. Jason Alexander explained that he and Swanberg had a cordial relationship, but her acting style was not suited for the show and he and the other main cast struggled to perform scenes with her, leading to tension on the set. Although Larry David initially liked the odd couple pairing of George and Susan, he and the writing staff came to agree over time that her character was a poor fit for the show. Julia Louis-Dreyfus jokingly suggested that they kill Susan after a rough day of shooting, and the writers ran with the idea, killing Susan in a ridiculous fashion that signposted their dislike of the character. For her part, Swanberg thought Susan's death was Actually Pretty Funny and didn't harbor any grudge towards David or her costars.

Creator's Pest / int_7aaf9e41	comment	Throughout the 80s, it was far from uncommon to see Batman writers espousing some level of disdain for Robin—they saw the identity as a relic of the campier days of the franchise, defined by Burt Ward's "Holy [x], Batman!", and hated the whole idea of the Kid Sidekick, especially when applied to a character they were trying to push in as dark a direction as they could go. Jim Starlin, who wrote A Death in the Family, recounted an incident where DC considered having a Tragic AIDS Story with one of their existing characters, at which he then stuffed the ballot box with as many entries for Robin as he could manage. After the 90s, which saw the introduction of Tim Drake (who had a more sensible outfit and acted independently enough that writers could ignore him if they wanted to), the hatred towards the concept slowly cooled off (though it still sees purchase among those doing adaptations). Consequently, Death in the Family is often remembered as having been a reaction to hatred of Jason Todd, rather than an attempt to junk the concept of Robin as a whole.

Creator's Pest / int_7c96a245	comment	Mickie James. Despite being a six-time champion in WWE, it's obvious that she was not a favorite among the higher-ups. The end of her first run in the company saw her being a walking fat joke, being referred to as "Piggy James" by LayCool, even though she was no where near overweight. She was eventually fired in 2010, allegedly for causing issues on a tour, but some have disputed this. Mickie returned six years later and it was clear almost from the get-go that they had no plans to push her, using her as a glorified jobber, never giving her a title run, and replacing the fat jokes with age jokes since she was in her late thirties/early forties. After being released for the second time in 2021, Mickie said that management often shot down her ideas and were conviced that she was "too old", trying to force her to retire and take up a commentary or agent role. Massive controversy erupted when Mickie announced that her WWE belongings were sent to her in a trash bag (though Mickie wasn't the only recipient of this treatment, as other Pests spoke up about similar treatment), perfectly symbolizing what those in McMahonLand have thought of her all along.

It was also likely why he spent so much time before that being Out of Focus, having his character development being put on hold or dragged at a snail's pace, and often injured so that Barry Allen could solve the crisis himself. The annoying thing about this? The primary source material for the show was comics from the time Wally West was the Flash, so Wally was getting sidelined in an adaptation based on his character's works.

At the end of one of Lynton's lines, Johnny breaks character to say, "God, I hate him." In the Blades in the Dark spinoff, GM Luke mentioned at the end strongly disliking Pickett, the Number Two of the Lampblacks Guild. This was because the voice he selected for Pickett was taxing on his vocal chords. Pickett then becomes the group's mole, promising her a larger role in the narrative. During the story, a ghost claws its way down Pickett's throat, and Luke reasons that she'll probably have a different voice after such an event.

Creator's Pest / int_81692f99	comment	Star Trek: Gene Roddenberry and the writer of Star Trek: The Original Series's second pilot "Where No Man Has Gone Before" were not satisfied with the character of Doctor Mark Piper, finding that him being a "old country doctor" archetype didn't work for plots that called for a more active and emotive doctor. The character would be replaced by Doctor McCoy for the rest of the series run, who would prove to be much more popular with both the audience and the creative staff. Counsellor Troi was almost written out of Star Trek: The Next Generation after the first season because the writers didn't know what to do with her. When the show lost its other female castmembers, she was kept on. Wil Wheaton grew to hate Wesley Crusher, joking that he finally understood why he got so much hate mail upon rewatching the series. On Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Andrew Robinson didn't care much for Mirror Garak, finding him to be a boring one-note toady who lacked all of his Prime counterpart's nuance and menacing aura. The character's final appearance, where the Prime Universe Ferengis brag about how much more clever and competent their Garak is, followed by Mirror Garak being injected with his own virus and left for dead may have been a wink to the sentiment. The writers of Star Trek: Voyager didn't want to deal with Harry Kim because they found him boring. His subplot in "The Killing Game" was only expanded because the episode ran short. Nobody involved in the production of Voyager beside Michael Piller liked the Kazons, the sentiment being that the Voyager crew running into them over and over stretched believability, and they were dumb and ineffectual retreads of the Klingons who had far overstayed their welcome by the end of the second season. The show would phase them out after the third season opener outside of time travel and hologram sheanigans, with a later episode establishing that the Kazons are among the few species the Borg refuse to assimilate because they're just that useless.

Laurinaitis was a big proponent of "looks over talent" and was one of the creators of the Diva Search, considered to be the point where the women's division began to crumble. In his first year, he fired Ivory, Jackie Moore, Jazz, Nidia and Gail Kim, reduced Molly Holly to a jobber before driving her out of the company by denying her request for a Heelâ€“Face Turn on the grounds that it would never work,note Despite the fact that she's always got a positive reception from fans and is near universally regarded to be the nicest person in the entire wrestling business and was the one who pushed to make Stacy Keibler (a non-wrestling, eye-candy manager) Women's Champion (to Keibler's credit, she refused the overtures, noting there were far more deserving workers than herself). In 2006, he hired Kelly Kelly (considered by some to be the worst female wrestler in WWE history) after seeing her in a swimsuit catalog. Bra & panties matches and costume themed matches became the norm, along with women's matches mainly being meaningless 3-minute tag team matches.

Phoenix Daybreak loathes Daniella Alsing because of her shitty parenting whereas Popsicle and Crowgirl hate Eudora Budarthil for the extremism part of her Well-Intentioned Extremist status.

Creator's Pest / int_a4420d22	comment	The Venture Bros.: Kevin and Tim-Tom were difficult for Jackson Hammer and Doc Publick to fit into the plot after their introduction, which made it increasingly difficult to find a place for them in stories. Them being largely loathed by the fandom actually helped Hammer and Publick figure out what to do with them going forward. Hammer and Publick have expressed a lack of fondness for Baron Underbheit, believing that he never really clicked as a joke. The original concept of him was for him to be a proper heavyweight villain and the most genuinely cruel and monstrous character to contrast the Monarch, but in practice they didn't find him particularly intimidating. Another factor was that they had plans to make him absurdly beyond-the-pale in his malevolence, such as giving him a puppy fountain, orphan slave labor, or sending agents of his kingdom to incinerate the toys of his subjects, but in practice, most of those planned scenes were cut, and they opined that even had they made it in, they would have made him silly rather than scary (plus, other villains in the show had done over-the-top cruel things without it dominating their characterization). They also regard "Love Bheits", his main spotlight episode, as one of the worst episodes of the show, since it features a plot about homophobia that they feel aged like milk.

While Butch Hartman personally liked the character, he was ultimately disliked not only by fans, but also the show's writers and network executives; the latter group would demand Sparky's removal from the show entirely. And so he was removed from the series entirely with zero in-show acknowledgement the very next season.

Creator's Pest / int_b0b22636	comment	The creators and producers of Wheel of Fortune hated the notorious "Megaword" category used for the nighttime show's 12th season in 1994-95. The puzzle was a long vocabulary word that, upon solving, the contestant could use in a sentence for a bonus. Little to no judgment was given on the grammatical correctness of the sentences; rounds often dragged on due to the shortness and obscurity of the puzzles; and one contestant was ruled wrong for mispronouncing the answer PRISTINELY despite having the entire puzzle filled in (which is at least consistent with the show's rules). Not only did Pat Sajak go out of his way to deride the category every single time it came up, even Lovely Assistant Vanna White and The Announcer Charlie O'Donnell berated it! Megaword was finally put out of its misery at the end of the season and seldom mentioned since.

Creator's Pest / int_b25ce518	comment	Soulcalibur V: Bandai Namco and Project Soul threw Patroklos Alexander under the bus during the popularity poll, saying that they were "impressed" that the hero of SCV placed so low, even below characters like Dampierre. For the record, he placed #37 out of 45 characters, with only 32 votes received out of over 10,000 that were cast. Sure enough, Soulcalibur VI turned out to be a reboot that returned to the original setting of the series, and Patroklos was among the first characters (alongside the other V newcomers) that were confirmed to be cut from the game. The DLC announcement of Cassandra also revealed some things: First, Cassandra was tasked with naming Sophitia's children and if a boy, she's picking the name 'Deucalion', so if Patroklos would ever be 'born' into the 'verse, it would be under hopefully different context that he won't turn out as atrocious. Second, Cassandra ended up stumbling into the Astral Chaos, met the original timeline's Cassandra who had been turned into a Malfested and she managed to tell the new Cassandra that the old timeline leading to Soul Calibur V was a Bad Future that needs to be prevented, so new Cassandra is working on to create a new timeline where Patroklos won't manifest again.

Creator's Pest / int_b2ac2311	comment	Peanuts: Charles M. Schulz disliked Pig-Pen, mainly because he was only written as a one-joke character, but his popularity caused Schulz to include him as part of the cast. Schulz also disliked the short-lived character of Faron, Frieda's pet cat who never walked and was always being carried and only appeared as a regular across a few months in 1961. This was partially because Schulz didn't draw cats quite well, but also because the cat would think words the same way Snoopy did, as they never speak in words, being the only way to have them interact with each other (just as Snoopy would do with his siblings much later on). Schulz named him after Faron Young, which was his favorite country singer, a move that he regretted after chucking the character. Later in the '60s, Schulz introduced the "The Cat Next Door" (which was unseen and didn't have a name originally), which worked much better than Faron.

In Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen, she reappears along with Chromia and Elita-1 (two other female Transformers), but only as nameless extras who get unceremoniously killed off. Their actual fate is a little unclear in the film (the last we see of them is Elita-1 getting shot during the final battle), but Bay explicitly confirmed in press statements that they all died, and that it was due to his dislike of the characters. Bay wasn't a big fan of The Fallen, despite him being the main villain of Revenge, calling him "kind of a [expletive] character." In several interviews, Bay has admitted to "kind of hating" the Dinobots, which seems to have been a reason why, despite their absurd popularity in the fanbase, they didn't show up until Transformers: Age of Extinction (and even then, the ads played up their presence far more than in the final product, where they're mostly confined to the third act).

The most vocal is Joe Quesada, who was the mastermind behind the infamous One More Day storyline, and who has called MJ "unrealistic" due to being an actress/model married to The Everyman. Previous attempts to get MJ out of the book included editors demanding first that MJ die, and then when that didn't stick, that she and Peter be separated at the beginning of The Amazing Spider-Man (J. Michael Straczynski). In large part due to fan demand, the Reset Button was hit on these storylines, and a version of One More Day was undone by Stan Lee in the newspaper comic continuity, where the two are still married and MJ still gets a lot of focus. A lot of the writers of The Clone Saga really didn't care for Judas Traveller, not sure of what to do with him and making it up as they went along.

Creator's Pest / int_bc758ea9	comment	Tiny Toon Adventures: More than a few times, the writers have stated that Fifi is one of their least-liked characters of the main cast, simply because of how overly popular she was with the fanbase. Fans constantly demanding more Fifi episodes and screentime is the main reason she has the fewest episodes out of the main cast, with a Straw Fan character even being written as a criticism of those fans. Elmyra was infamously an executive's Creator's Pet, which led the writers to hate her, and they weren't shy about it bleeding into the story. Elmyra has two different Poorly Disguised Pilots in Tiny Toon Adventures, both of which are almost completely about her being insufferable. When she was shoehorned into Pinky, Elmyra & the Brain, the writers' contempt for the idea was written into the theme song (It's what the network wants / Why bother to complain?). Since Animaniacs (2020), Pinky, Elmyra, and the Brain has been retconned out of existence. The gag credit for "Toons From the Crypt", one of Concord Condor's few major appearances, is "We gave Concord Condor a new haircut - And he still isn't funny."

Creator's Pest / int_bcadd7cb	comment	The designers of Warhammer 40,000 reportedly didn't like the Squats very much, due to a general belief among them that they had screwed up the faction's design and feel and turned it into a lame joke, even down to the name (they're Warhammer Fantasy's dwarves, but in space). They spent most of Second Edition delaying giving the faction a proper update because they just didn't want to, claiming they didn't feel inspired to do so and they couldn't figure out what was fun and what worked about the Squats for them to focus on. Upon the designers realizing that they couldn't just keep kicking the can down the road, the Squats were famously removed as a playable army in Third Edition (their homeworld was eaten by Tyranids) and spent much of the next few decades Exiled from Continuity. There was a tentative return with the Demiurg (a short, technologically-skilled Tau ally), but a few editions later, the Leagues of Votann appeared: dwarves in space with a better design, subfactions of which the Squats and Demiurg were retconned into being.

Creator's Pest / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: The reason the Cybermen were absent during the Third Doctor's tenure was that script editor Terrance Dicks hated them, as he found them boring. When he was tasked to write "The Five Doctors", the then-script editor Eric Saward, who loved the Cybermen, wanted them in it. Dicks responded by taking several opportunities to destroy them, most overtly the notorious Raston Robot scene, in which a platoon of Cybermen suffers a humiliating Curb-Stomp Battle at the hands of a lone bit-part monster created solely in order to do that. In "Destiny of the Daleks", K-9 comes down with "robo-laryngitis" and is sidelined from the plot. According to many sources the reason was Terry Nation disliked the character and did not want his creation, the Daleks, sharing screen time with him. The K-9 prop is also pesky for crew members, as it has an infamous history of breaking down or ruining shots by veering too far left or right. 1980s producer John Nathan-Turner also hated K-9. Tellingly, every story of Season 18 (his first year as producer) saw K-9 damaged in some way, until he gets written out of the series. The problems with K9 were minuscule compared with Kamelion, an actual robot that was hated by everyone in the crew because nobody could get the thing to work properly (partially due to his creator being killed in a boating accident). As a result, he only appears in three serials (one of which was a cameo in a deleted scene). Peter Davison once joked that the best acting he ever did in the show was the Doctor's sorrow at having to kill Kamelion, as he was genuinely glad to be rid of the troublesome prop. Script editor Eric Saward was staunchly against the casting of Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor and took every opportunity he could to sideline the character (this being after three whole seasons of the Fifth Doctor already being a Pinball Protagonist). This reached a peak in "Revelation of the Daleks", where the Doctor does only one thing of any real significance and spends the rest of the story wandering around and chatting. The Sixth Doctor was also disliked by BBC One controller Michael Grade, who was notoriously unimpressed with Doctor Who as a whole and fired Baker after just two seasons. Many books have been written about how the implosion of the series during Season 23 was caused in part by production infighting over the companion Mel, who became a locus for the internal rivalries between the script editor, producer and Promoted Fanboy elements of the team. She is disliked in the fandom too, but much of this is because she was intentionally written as an insufferable Damsel Scrappy to sabotage the actress and producer. The team's 'continuity advisor' Ian Levine hated the character so much that he quit over her inclusion; most fans today regard this event as one of the reasons for the show becoming more creatively interesting for its last couple of seasons. Some companions were written out of the series due to the production team deciding that they just weren't working, like Dodo Chaplet, Ben Jackson, Adric or Mel Bush. Katarina was killed off midway through her sole story as part of the TARDIS team because her Fish out of Temporal Water nature was seen as too limiting by the production team (thus making her the first companion to die), Liz Shaw was written out after one season because Barry Letts felt that she was too over-qualified to be the Doctor's assistant, and Harry Sullivan was written out after one season because Philip Hinchcliffe felt he was a redundant presence (though he did later admit that writing him out was a mistake). The reason Turlough spent a lot of time imprisoned is that the writers admitted to just not knowing what to do with him. Russell T. Davies claimed to hate the Master and that the character would never appear in the show while he was in charge. However, this turned out to be a case of Lying Creator. More genuinely, he's made it pretty clear that killing off all the other Time Lords was emotionally satisfying for him, writing that they did nothing for the show except "spout bollocks".

Creator's Pest / int_c6b738c4	comment	Ring of Honor's most infamous case was first booker Gabe Sapolsky and first champion Low Ki, which eventually resulted in Low Ki being dismissed from the promotion. It happened again in EVOLVE, where Ki did himself few favors with Gabe by legitimately knocking out AHTU in under a minute, which caused his monster aura to dissipate. Sapolsky wasn't too fond of Steve Corino either. Mike Hogewood had the dubious honor of being a creator's pet and pest at the same time during Ring Of Honor's time on HD Net. While ROH's staff respected him as a person, they didn't want him behind the commentary table. He lasted their entire run on the station because keeping him there was a condition of being on HD Net in the first place.

Creator's Pest / int_c7f59f7d	comment	Teen Titans: Jay Faerber has been upfront on the rampant Executive Meddling he had to deal with during his time writing Titans (1999), especially when Andrew Helfer took over from Eddie Berganza as editor. Faerber mentioned he was forced to include the DEOrphans into the series because editorial wanted to introduce a new team of young heroes. Their very presence derailed most of Faerber's plots, especially the Epsilon arc (which got forcibly mangled when one of the kids was revealed to be possessing Epsilon the whole time). That said, it appears Faerber used Lian Harper as a mouthpiece to voice his unhappiness with the situation. Lian, normally one of the sweetest kids around, couldn't stand the DEOrphans and screamed at them that she'd been in Titans Tower long before them. Though fans generally agreed with Faerber's dislike of the DEOrphans and sympathized with the situation, less can be said about his view and treatment of Jesse Quick, who he inherited from Devin Grayson's run. Despite having been a well-liked character on the book (and a well-liked Flash supporting character), he felt that Jesse didn't fit with the rest of the cast, and so that became the basis of her characterisation, being the outsider of the group. She was then given a storyline seemingly designed solely to turn fan reception against her (she was revealed to have been having an affair with her mother's fiancÃ©), had her budding teased romance with Nightwing crushed, and instead spent the rest of her time with the team being The Friend Nobody Liked with Nightwing making it clear he could barely tolerate her. Ironically, Devin Grayson had given Faerber and out by having Jesse quit during her last few issues, but in the ones they co-wrote, Jesse was convinced to stay, leading directly to these hated storylines.

Creator's Pest / int_ccf0819f	comment	Vince McMahon has plenty: The entire women's division was this for him, and he refused to push the performers as anything but Fanservice. If not for the facts that (a) Zenjo was one of the most successful promotions in the world and (b) getting the belts was something to rub in the face of rival organization NWA, the women's divisions would not have even been in WWF. He gave up on absorbing Zenjo pretty quickly too, Wendi Richter making him a lot of money is what kept women's wrestling from being phased out of WWF altogether. Even then, he got rid of Richter herself fairly quickly because she wanted a cut of that money she made him, then let the women's division dwindle to nothing. Renewed interest in Zenjo got the belt dug back up for Madusa, but she committed the sin of trademarking her own ring name and McMahon gradually lost interest again, sending her to get nose and boob jobs before deciding a women's division wasn't worth it. The women's division came back again to give Sable something to do after she got over by power bombing Marc Mero, but that something wasn't "wrestle", as the WWF's women's division became synonymous with bikini contests, stripper matches, water fights and mud pools. There was a brief spike in quality when most of the Sable-like models had left and the one WWE decided to push ahead of all the established wrestlers decided she was going to train to be like said wrestlers, but that was quickly corrected by releasing most of those wrestlers and hiring even more models. Only with the greater influence of his daughter and son-in-law in the company did things start changing, reportedly with much kicking and screaming from the boss. Vince wasn't the only one. One of the worst offenders was WWE's VP of Talent Relations from 2004-12, John Laurinaitis. Laurinaitis was a big proponent of "looks over talent" and was one of the creators of the Diva Search, considered to be the point where the women's division began to crumble. In his first year, he fired Ivory, Jackie Moore, Jazz, Nidia and Gail Kim, reduced Molly Holly to a jobber before driving her out of the company by denying her request for a Heelâ€“Face Turn on the grounds that it would never work,note Despite the fact that she's always got a positive reception from fans and is near universally regarded to be the nicest person in the entire wrestling business and was the one who pushed to make Stacy Keibler (a non-wrestling, eye-candy manager) Women's Champion (to Keibler's credit, she refused the overtures, noting there were far more deserving workers than herself). In 2006, he hired Kelly Kelly (considered by some to be the worst female wrestler in WWE history) after seeing her in a swimsuit catalog. Bra & panties matches and costume themed matches became the norm, along with women's matches mainly being meaningless 3-minute tag team matches. After knocking out "Dr. Death" Steve Williams in the WWE Brawl for All and thus inadvertently ruining plans for a feud with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Bart Gunn became this so much that after he was squashed by Butterbean at WrestleMania 15, he was reportedly fired immediately once he returned to the locker room. McMahon had a grudge against Scott Levy. Levy had worked in WWF in the early 90s as Johnny Polo, and introduced his son Shane to the partying life, which is what led to the grudge. When Raven was signed, Vince didn't realize that it was Levy playing the character until he actually saw the man backstage and recognized him.note Vince rarely if ever actually watched anything that people he wanted to sign did, he always depended on his underlings to find talent and bring them to him. Whoever brought him in either didn't know or deliberately didn't tell Vince that Scotty Flamingo, Johnny Polo, and Raven are all the same person. This is why Raven never got pushed while working for WWE. McMahon also didn't care for Christian, feeling that although he was a good midcard hand, he was too ugly to make a good World Champion. Seriously. Christian's popularity with the fans and a dearth of main eventers at the time led to his World Heavyweight Title win, but his feud with Randy Orton was booked to make it clear that Christian genuinely wasn't in Orton's league. For what it's worth the TNA booker must have disagreed, as he won their world title three times. McMahon believed that cruiserweight wrestling couldn't draw until he was finally badgered into signing Rey Mysterio, Jr. Rey quickly became immensely popular, too much so for even Vince to ignore, as he appealed to former WCW fans and Latino fans. Vince okayed a push for Rey to become World Champion, but also insisted that Rey should not ever look too strong, even while holding the title. This led to such nonsense as Mysterio losing clean to midcarders in non-title matches while Champion, and never being allowed to win his matches fair and square. Speaking of cruiserweights, after Mysterio's debut, Vince decided he wanted another flippy masked wrestler, and hired Ãšltimo DragÃ³n without doing any research on him. Dragon worked a slower, martial arts based style with a few highly polished flying spots. Once Vince actually watched Dragon work, he became enraged, declared Dragon's style incompatible with the entire roster, and went so far as to edit out the cheers Dragon got on the C-shows like Jakked and Velocity. Then to get rid of Dragon, he tricked him into quitting by promising to rehire him, unmasked, under his real name Yoshihiro Asai, only to renege after Asai unmasked in Japan. Joey Matthews was well liked across the independent circuit and treated well by Ohio Valley Wrestling even when OVW had a developmental deal with WWE. But make no mistake, he wasn't very well liked by WWE's executives and was seen mainly as a tool to build up John Morrison. Yes, that very same Morrison who was himself a pest. At least Morrison got pushes to cut short. Once WWE had Dusty Rhodes, Goldust and Cody Rhodes on television all at once, they admitted on screen that they had been trying to make Dusty and his proxies look stupid for decades and the Rhodes had managed to succeed in spite of McMahon. Presumably that meant McMahon had finally gotten over it, but given he ran three Take That! gimmicks of Dusty and put him in that polkadot singlet, which Dusty took as a challenge, Dusty's pest status wasn't exactly a secret. Becky Lynch was originally a target to Kevin Dunn and Vince McMahon. Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported in September/October 2016 that Dunn hated her Dublin accent on her first reign as the inaugural SmackDown Women's Champion, as a reason why she lost to Alexa Bliss at TLC 2016 and later ended up Demoted to Extra for two years,note The accent and pale skin of fellow Irishman Sheamus is likewise to blame for his constant start-stop pushes over the years, and he's likely only getting to the "start" part because he's friends with Triple H before her sudden rise of popularity in 2018 when she snapped on Charlotte Flair for taking away her momentum at SummerSlam 2018, under the new Anti-Hero gimmick as "The Man", and the Monday Night Raw go home show for Survivor Series 2018 where she got busted open by a stiff punch from Nia Jax, which Becky shrugged off. This event catapulted Lynch as the current most over superstar in the company not named John Cena by taking the Brass Ring of Vince McMahon. The reason why Billie Kay was released was due to Dunn "not getting" her and declaring that he thought she "had a ceiling" in the company, despite being well-liked in the locker room and positive fan reaction since her split from The IIconics. The real reason was likely due to her Australian accent. Finn Balor was also another pest to McMahon after he vacated the WWE Universal Championship in 2016, being sidelined by an injury until he made his return in 2017. However, his push for the Universal Title got faded away and being Demoted to Extra in the upper-midcard most of 2017 and 2018 with meaningless repetitive feuds and being treated as an afterthought. Reports at the time were that Vince said that Balor wasn't over as a superstar, which Balor said to Vince that he didn't believe in him on the RAW build up of his match with Brock Lesnar at Royal Rumble 2019 for the Universal Title. Sheamus O'Shaunessy, Claudio Castagnoli and Rusev all have the same start-stop push issue stemming from "accents". Probably not a surprise that the latter two are now in AEW (where they're still not being used well, but that's beside the point.) Vince may hate accents, but supposedly the reason he hated Luke Harper? Luke couldn't do a Deep South accent. While Harper had the look (and sizable beard) to come across as a hillbilly, he was from Rochester, New York and no experience in doing an accent. Vince was reportedly annoyed that Harper couldn't pull off the accent to be the hick persona Vince envisioned for him and eventually released him. Tag Team Wrestling in general has been seen as this, as McMahon sees that it is much more profitable to put two singles wrestlers together as a tag team than to bring in a single tag team and that the best use of a tag team is to find the next Breakup Breakout. On Dark Side of the Ring, Bart Gunn would even mention that for one reason or another, any tag team that debuts in the WWF/WWE are eventually broken up. Mickie James. Despite being a six-time champion in WWE, it's obvious that she was not a favorite among the higher-ups. The end of her first run in the company saw her being a walking fat joke, being referred to as "Piggy James" by LayCool, even though she was no where near overweight. She was eventually fired in 2010, allegedly for causing issues on a tour, but some have disputed this. Mickie returned six years later and it was clear almost from the get-go that they had no plans to push her, using her as a glorified jobber, never giving her a title run, and replacing the fat jokes with age jokes since she was in her late thirties/early forties. After being released for the second time in 2021, Mickie said that management often shot down her ideas and were conviced that she was "too old", trying to force her to retire and take up a commentary or agent role. Massive controversy erupted when Mickie announced that her WWE belongings were sent to her in a trash bag (though Mickie wasn't the only recipient of this treatment, as other Pests spoke up about similar treatment), perfectly symbolizing what those in McMahonLand have thought of her all along. If Nikki Bella is to be believed, the cast of Total Divas was this to him as he originally wanted the show to be seen as a joke only for it to become very popular to the point where it rivaled Keeping Up with the Kardashians. This didn't set well with Vince, who would take any opportunity to bury the Total Divas cast. Case in point, when A.J. Lee turned down the show, Vince gave her the green light to give her infamous "Pipe Bombshell" promo. When the Bella Twins won "Diva of the Year," presumingly due to their exposure on the show, Vince was so furious he yelled at them when they got backstage.

To a lesser extent, Cell was this for both Toriyama and Toei's animators. Not because of his personality, but because his different forms' designs were all more intricate than any other character, with the spots on his exoskeleton being noted as a particular pain to keep drawing. Vic Mignogna, Broly's former dub actor, has admitted that he doesn't like the strain on his vocal cords playing the character entails. He does seem to have warmed up to the character later down the line, given his frequent reprises of the role in the 2010 video games, and in Dragon Ball Super: Broly. Broly's Japanese voice actor, Bin Shimada, has expressed similar concerns.

Because they were contractually obligated to include Waspinator in every episode, they made sure to have him viciously maimed and dismembered at every opportunity. Over time, this went away as the writers grew to love Waspinator because of this, and they later convinced Hasbro to spare him when they were looking for characters to kill off at the beginning of Season 2. The writers settled on killing Terrosaur and Scorponk due to seeing them as boring, with their roles having been taken up by the more interesting Tarantulus and Inferno respectively.

He did end up making appearances in "201" and in South Park: The Fractured but Whole years later. Pip existed simply because Parker and Stone hated reading Great Expectations. Eventually, they realized that Butters fulfilled his role better, and Pip was Demoted to Extra after his Day in the Limelight.

Wilbert Awdryâ€™s side due to his similarities to Gordon and the illustrators doing a poor job differentiating his build after he was painted blue at the end of the first book.note Originally Henry was not going to be even let out of his tunnel, but publishers insisted on him writing "Edward, Gordon and Henry" to give the book a Happy Ending Awdry at one point considered quietly scrapping Henry, with his illness being tacit nods to his lingering fate, but publishers and fans obviously spoke against this, leading him to writing Henry's repaint to green in the fifth book and his rebuild in "The Flying Kipper", forcing a divergent redesign for the illustrators to follow. Christopher Awdry expressed frustration having to write excessive Thomas-centric stories to coincide with the popularity of the TV series. He did sometimes manage to find loopholes around this however, the book Thomas Comes Home doesn't even feature Thomas outside the very end of the last story and instead revolves around the other engines' misadventures in his absence beforehand.

Creator's Pest / int_e13b1e82	comment	Kenny was written out of The Tomorrow People (1973) after the first season due to actor Stephen Salmon's poor dramatic ability and an inability to act in general. Salmon would frequently forget lines and spoke with a drawl, making him to difficult to understand by the other actors. For this reason, Kenny's character is seldom seen "in the action" after the pilot, with Kenny often guarding the lab or visiting his home during the bulk of the series.

Creator's Pest / int_e3ce3877	comment	Ric Flair was the target of Jim Herd when he was still in charge of WCW. Herd (who had no prior involvement in the wrestling business and had been a manager at Pizza Hut) thought that Flair, at the age of 40, was too old to draw. He wanted Flair to shave his head and take up a Roman Gladiator gimmick. When Flair refused, Herd - thinking that nobody else would want Flair either - fired him without even making him stick around to lose the WCW Championship. Flair immediately showed up in WWF with the WCW Title Belt.

Creator's Pest / int_ea4f62db	comment	Family Guy: Joe Swanson's son Kevin simply disappeared from the series. This was due to the show's staff finding him boring. In "Stew-Roids", Joe offhandedly mentions that he died in Iraq, though "Thanksgiving" later revealed that he actually faked his death. However, even after Kevin eventually returns to the show he remains largely Out of Focus. In "Saving Private Brian", Stewie guns down the vaudeville duo Vern and Johnny and tells the audience that they're dead and that we won't be seeing them again. The staff confirmed in the DVD Commentary that "People just got sick of them." Ironically, they made one last appearance in "Back to the Woods" where Vern appeared as a ghost while Johnny is in hell because according to Vern, he "liked little boys." The writers admitted that they don't know how to write for a teenage girl like Meg. Her Butt-Monkey status in later seasons is often attributed to this. Loretta was disliked by the show staff, finding her to be bland and nasty. With the addition of Alex Borstein hating the strain of voicing her and her unpopularity with the fanbase, she was eventually divorced from Cleveland and later killed in the The Cleveland Show episode "Gone With the Wind", which ends with a eulogy montage for her that only really showed off more of her unlikable traits (namely her constant nagging and her cheating on Cleveland). The one character that nearly all of the show's writing staff despised was Paddy Tanniger due to how annoying he is and has since then been killed in the season 5 episode "Hell Comes to Quahog".

Gameplay wise, the Exodian Blade threw the whole game out of whack by turning it into an Escort Mission, and lorewise they devalued humanity as their own entity (and their own destroyers) by having alien intervention, and they just weren't creative or interesting, being an alien Artifact of Doom and its Good Counterpart fighting to the death and dragging humanity into it.

Creator's Pest / int_ec52a5b9	comment	Transformers (2007) originally featured Arcee as part of the lineup of Autobots, but she was later replaced with Ironhide, partly due to both director Michael Bay and writer Roberto Orci considering the existence of a female Transformer "too complicated to explain". In Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen, she reappears along with Chromia and Elita-1 (two other female Transformers), but only as nameless extras who get unceremoniously killed off. Their actual fate is a little unclear in the film (the last we see of them is Elita-1 getting shot during the final battle), but Bay explicitly confirmed in press statements that they all died, and that it was due to his dislike of the characters.

Creator's Pest / int_f2041376	comment	Charmed (1998): Notably had the lead character Prue become this — largely thanks to her actress. Shannen Doherty had repeated clashes with cast and crew members, most notably her co-star Alyssa Milano. By the third season, episodes often deconstructed Prue's status as The Ace — one episode featuring the Seven Deadly Sins has her get infected with the sin of Pride, and she's the only character to not overcome her sin. Another episode has a Take That! where she gets turned into a dog. Shannen Doherty had to be fired over her behavior, and Prue ended up killed off between Seasons 3 and 4. Milano would later go on to say that she regretted how things turned out as she realized that the showrunners had pitted Doherty against the others and that the conflicts were largely their fault (due to misogyny and fear of the leads asking for more money). The writers regretted the character of Jenny in the second season, and ushered her out after four episodes when they realized she served no purpose.

Creator's Pest / int_f3368832	comment	Buffyverse: Joss Whedon named Adam as the most boring of Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Big Bads, a sentiment shared by a lot of the fandom. Cordelia Chase was gradually phased out of Angel during seasons four and five due to friction between Charisma Carpenter and Whedon (he told TV Guide that it this was due to the writers running out of things for her to do). This became Harsher in Hindsight when she revealed in 2021 that Whedon had written her character off the show to punish her for getting pregnant at a time he considered inconvenient. Vincent Kartheiser said that he quickly lost interest in playing Connor after about four episodes. He disliked that every scene would have him and Angel arguing, and he would then go into a corner to sulk. He said he wasn't surprised when he learned that Connor was hated by the fans as well. To say that a decent number of writers on staff were befuddled and annoyed by Spike's popularity would be an understatement. Whedon was known to be particularly frustrated by it, as he believed very firmly that soulless vampires shouldn't be redeemable, and James Marsters has told several stories over the years of seeing the brunt of that frustration on-set. Other writers like David Fury were known to openly condemn Spike's fans on online forums while the show was running, likening them to people writing love notes to serial killers in prison. It had also been stated in several interviews that the point of the deeply controversial episode "Seeing Red" was to remind viewers that Spike was evil. Curiously, later down the line many of these creators have walked back on much of this, with Whedon admitting to preferring Spike with Buffy and David Fury trying to push for Spike to be the one to fulfill the Shanshu prophesy. By the seventh season, another character that Whedon had grown tired of was Dawn, admitting that she was completely spent out as a character after the Key storyline was finished in the fifth season, even having Buffy admit she might be willing to let Dawn die if it meant saving the world this time.

As a result, Elistan's involvement in Dragons of Winter Night is mostly limited to saying something once in a while to remind readers he's still there.

Creator's Pest / int_f891a20d	comment	The developers of Terraria have said they weren't fond of Ocram, the console/mobile-exclusive Final Boss, for not fitting in very well in terms of both gameplay and lore/theme. Not only was Ocram never added to the desktop version, but he and all other content exclusive to the console and mobile versions was removed when they were updated to 1.3. The 1.4.4 update makes several jokes at his expense outright, such as one of the randomly-selected window titles being "Now with even less Ocram!" (Or "Now with more Ocram!," which is a lie) and adding an item called "Ocram's Razor" that can only be found in worlds made with a certain seed which instead summons a mix of the Mechanical Bosses.

Creator's Pest / int_fb9c177d	comment	Transformers: The Transformers: Despite ironically writing over half of the episodes featuring him, David Wise disliked Omega Supreme, dismissing him as a "stupid character" based on a "completely illogical" toy. Initially, the writers for Beast Wars hated Waspinator because they found his voice was annoying and he also ate up valuable screen time. Because they were contractually obligated to include Waspinator in every episode, they made sure to have him viciously maimed and dismembered at every opportunity. Over time, this went away as the writers grew to love Waspinator because of this, and they later convinced Hasbro to spare him when they were looking for characters to kill off at the beginning of Season 2. The writers settled on killing Terrosaur and Scorponk due to seeing them as boring, with their roles having been taken up by the more interesting Tarantulus and Inferno respectively. Of all the characters in the franchise's decades-long history, the only one the creators of Transformers: Animated universally and utterly despise is Beachcomber. Not only did they only ever include him as a background crowd-filler, but the one big appearance they intended to give him in season three wouldâ€™ve consisted of him being murdered by Shockwave. When that had to be cut for time, they planned to have the sadly-cancelled fourth season open with him being brutally killed in battle by Blackout. If they hadnâ€™t gotten to do that, theyâ€™d have tried to kill him again in season five. It takes a special kind of Creatorâ€™s Pest to inspire such murderous hatred. Brad Swaile, who provided the English dub voice for Kicker in Transformers: Energon, has gone on record saying that he felt terrible about playing him after he gained mainstream success with Death Note. The reason that Primus, the Transformer God and often a major character in the cosmology of the franchise, doesn't exist in Transformers: Animated largely boiled down to the fact that Derrick Wyatt, the art director and lead character designer, didn't really like him that much.
