User blog comment:Epic~00/Discussion: Which fanbases do you think have the most annoying people?/@comment-1037137-20140909193403/@comment-1037137-20140909222159

When it comes to the love triangle, nobody should be pretending any one of the three is blameless. Hell, people outside the three are to blame for it finally reaching a head. But for anyone to claim that any one of the three is entirely blameless is pure nonsense no matter how it is cut and sliced. Additionally, there may be more to Duncan than just that, but it's a major highlight of how despicable he can truly be as a person. Which is why I find the appraisal of him and so many of his actions to be frustrating. I rarely find people who find a sensible reason to defend his actions that nobody would defend if it were to happen to themselves. And when people of his type do it to others, it equals bragging rights? Disgusting. Now I'm not saying that's how everyone thinks or how every Duncan fan thinks, of course it is not. But I hate the implications of how far some are willing to go to excuse virtually everything he does. And they are very unfortunate implications.

The best hero? Owen's not that heroic. Sure he had a hand in defeating Heather alongside Gwen, but he hasn't been that heroic in the seasons since. So I find it hard to imagine how he's the best hero. As for him being funny, he farts and eats a lot.........What about that is funny after four and a half seasons?

Scott. I think he's way overrated when it comes to talk of how funny he was in TDAS. He wasn't that funny, I don't think. I'm not saying he was never funny, he had his moments, but that does not redeem his character, anymore than Lightning's handful of funny lines make him a character at all.

Lightning's fanbase bugs me because he's so often referred to as the funniest thing since laughing gas, seemingly. That it means he automatically has a character that isn't a "gimmick" and little else. Okay, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but Lightning in my opinion is boring. He always was. And so what if he has a few funny lines? And for me personally, only 2-3 episodes where he really shined? I fully agree that Mike and Zoey are flawed, lacking in depth, and overexposed to an unacceptable level. They don't have enough depth to back up the way they've been played up, and are rightly criticized for all of that.........and yet Lightning gets a free pass half of the time? I find that very contradictory. And for me, he was the first of the three to really prove he was a dud, even though I now realize Mike was worse and Zoey is almost as problematic as both.

I don't understand why. She only talks about Cody, and bites back at anyone who gets close to him who's not herself. Everything is centered on Cody, or Chris if you talk about TDWT. Or "Camcody", which is the same thing as Cody. I am still at a loss as to what people found to like about her. I thought she only grew more terrible as time carried on.
