Characters You Feel Sorry For

Post Reply New Topic

The old couple in When the wind blows. Sure, they're ignorant and they do everything wrong but they're so sweet and grandparent'y and well-meaning that I really felt for them throughout the cartoon.

Ygritte. (Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire)

Jon Snow, how could you?!

I was REALLY hoping they would change this part in the TV series considering the.other changes they have made.

Anakin Skywalker from the Star Wars saga. All he ever wanted to do was to be loved and accepted and be free. He made bad choices, but it was because he felt that some would not help him. He was a slave all of his life, first to Gardulla the Hutt, then Watto, then the Jedi Council (up to a certain point), and finally to Palpatine. When he knew something was happening to his mother, he tried to tell Obi-Wan about it, but all he could tell Anakin was that "dreams pass in time". And the Jedi Council, Mace Windu especially, always mistrusted Anakin and always pressured him about being The Chosen One. And Palpatine? He played Anakin like a fiddle since day one when he met him, making him feel like he was the only one that he could trust and get help from, which was so far from the truth. He even made him think that his child (children, of course), died with Padme, which wasn't true. If it hadn't have been for Luke, there's no telling how much longer that Anakin would have stayed the way he was. And regarding Padme, the only reason Anakin made a bad choice in choosing the Dark Side was because of Palpatine and because Anakin felt that none of the Jedi would have helped him, which they probably would have.

Kevin in ''Home Alone 2'' for standing up for himself when his older brother Buzz humiliates him in front of everybody.

All of the Jews in ''The Boy In The Striped Pajamas'' (although the soldiers are gorgeous!!)

In ''Stuart Little'' I felt sorry for Stuart when Snowbell told him that the Littles were glad to be rid of him. Although this was only a lie, I still felt sorry for Stuart at the time.

Don't know if this counts or not but...

I always felt bad for the rabbit that nevre got to eat his Trix.

I'm inclined to agree. The kids refused to let him have any Trix and for no real reason.

It's racism against rabbits, I say! End lepusphobia!

-Bill, otherwise known as Kraichgauer

Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, and Jack Nicholson in Easy Rider. All three of their characters get killed for no good reason.

WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD!

Ottway in The Grey. Just an overall really sad character.
Paul Edgecomb in The Green Mile.
John Coffey in The Green Mile. Such a gentle guy wrongfully accused of and executed for murder
Del in The Green Mile. He (obviously) did something pretty bad, but seemed like a nice guy.
Brooks in The Shawshank Redemption. A seemingly nice old man, but being in prison for so long messed him up, and he couldn't function in the real world once released, so he hanged himself.
(You're gonna hate me for this one) Ed Gein as portrayed in Hitchcock. The scene where the police were raiding his house and he cried out to his mother ... all too similar to the real guy (whom, I'll admit, I feel somewhat sorry for as well)
Leatherface in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Yes, he's a murderer, but only because his family pressures him to do it, and he fears the outside world after suffering so much abuse from them (his family).
Robert Neville in I Am Legend. So much time being alone after most of humanity was wiped out, he's on the verge of insanity. First placing mannequins around the city and talking to them like they're people, and when his dog dies, he fully loses his grip on reality. "Please ... say ... hello ... to me."

Sidney Prescott.
Scream.
Why? Why won't people stop dressing up in a ghostface costume while trying to kill her? It's not her fault that her mother banged every guy she met.
There will be a Scream 5 planned.

Shiro
Deadman Wonderland.
A young girl going through unspeakable torture just for research on manipulating blood is too much.
Thanks to that, all the other deadmen had their worst moments of life too before and during their imprisonment.

Which reminds me.

Every character on Naruto with a sad past. Most of them remind me of myself in a way.

Really? Woo-hoo! looking forward to that. *big grin*

I don't know. The fourth one didn't so well. Where can they go from here?

They already concluded the Maurine Prescott Arc and judging from Scream 4, I guess all that's left is to kill Sidney for fame. Perhaps the next Ghostface will just want to be the first to kill Sidney just to succeed where all others failed and be infamous, recognized, or something.

Chase Adams from One Tree Hill: He's just so boring that nobody ever remembers him. Oh and let's not forget Millicent Huxtable also from One Tree Hill. Just the fact that she has to be burdened by pretty much the worst name ever makes me feel sorry for her.

Basically any monster from any monster movie, like Frankenstein's monster and King Kong. Especially if what they are doing is not really their fault. I also feel bad for Edward Scissorhands (or any character like Edward Scissorhands).

Godzilla. Sure, he's a hyperaggressive, borderline-sociopathic city destroyer and mass murderer, but really, it must really suck to be a 100+ foot tall irradiated dinosaur monster.
