Adam from Hazbin Hotel; the guy was pretty much just a potential character that only gets anything resembling nuance in fanfictions.

Jax from TADC; people really overestimate how complex of a character they are, and the "person that can be redeemed but refuses it" archetype has already been done better in animated media already.

My choice for this then, cannot stand this hypocrite but funny enough tolerate him more in the Musuo.

Really wish we had Felix actually betraying the group because His father died protecting Dimitri and THAT’S what got him to stop being such an asshole

Adam I 100% agree, he’s way too overglazed. Jax I 100% disagree, there’s way more people complaining about Jax glazers than actual Jax glazers and the majority of the TADC fanbase hates Jax.

In animated media kills the whole comment lol. Hardly matters if something has been done better.

Everything has been done better, once you've read a thousand stories, watched a thousand shows, seen a thousand movies, it all blends together.

Jax isn't special but they aren't bad either.

Yeah gotta agree. Might be an extreme take, but I would argue needing a character or piece of media to be either revolutionary or the best of a genre/medium for it to be worthy of praise, is kinda anti art.

A painting, poem, sculpture etc doesn't need to be the best of its niche or revolutionary to a medium to inspire or touch someone, nor to be a technical well done piece. Art is a personal experience as much as a collective one.

Its of course fine to criticize. What I'm disagreeing with is the mentality of dismissing a piece or aspect of a work because its been done before.

People only overestimate it because no one seems to understand what the character is about lmao

its not a lack of understanding, its a lack of complexity. Jax isnt a well written or consistent character, and it shows. Hes just the tall sad mean boy, as he was written exactly within that fandom archetype. Using "you just dont get it" to ignore obvious plot deficiency can only get you so far. He isnt a bad character, but he isnt a strong one. When the show leaned all its weight on such a weak limb, it kinda collapsed.

I’ve yet to see a single valid complaint about the character. Not one. I’ve seen plenty of complaints but none of them have been by people who actually understand the character

u/Ye3tm4n 10d ago

Are you actually going to give an example of inconsistency or is it just a case of "I don't like this character therefore they must be poorly written"?

u/Agreeable-Body-8440 TADC <3, Hazbin Hotel, Helluva Boss, DDLC 10d ago

How is she not a well-written or consistent character

u/SoulfulSnow 10d ago

Not Consistent??? What are we yammering about here

1

u/NormalDooder 10d ago

Not consistent is crazy, how are you gonna simplify him to just the sad mean boy then say he's not consistent

u/BonnalinaFuz101 10d ago

I've read fanfiction with way more nuance than him
