Unlikable aspects and qualities of characters often serve as detriments to a final opinion of a product in media. In some cases, such traits can derail the momentum of a piece of media's potential good standing. While unlikable qualities tend to be an obstacle for main characters/heroes in endearing themselves to a respective audience, villains traditionally require a great deal of unlikablity. Nevertheless, sometimes the argument comes up as to whether villains become too unlikable. What are the merits of this argument? Can heroes still garner the good grace of audiences through an unlikable nature? Do these traits add depth to such characters or only hold them back? I suppose to cut to the chase, my question is this:
Where do you draw the line on unlikable qualities of characters in media, whether good or evil? What sort of qualities of characters do you find unlikable? Have a go, folks!
