Worst drama hero - the horribleness attack
You know what I am talking about - the drama world is full of dream men - rich, good-looking, considerate, likely to carry you in their arms and give you a shirt off their back.
And then there is the other kind.
You know they are the hero of this drama because their name appears first in the credits and they are played by a big name actor. They might even be objectively good-looking.
But despite that pragmatic evidence, you simply cannot believe your eyes and ears - we are supposed to root for THAT? As you watch this good-looking but selfish and cruel moron stumble from crisis to insult and disaster to meanness, you begin to wonder if the director and the writer have lost their minds or if you have fallen into alternate universe. How can someone so awful be the hero - the one who is supposed to get the girl and who we are supposed to cheer for. In real life, we'd be calling the cops if our daughter wanted to date him. Maybe buy a gun.
So yes - who is the worst hero of a drama you have ever come across? Someone you were supposed to root for but who evoked only rage. Someone where you would have preferred the heroine with the secondary guy, discover lesbianism or join a convent, anything to avoid the hero's clutches.
Who evokes rage like that?
And why?
I will post my answer later :)
