scifi/fantasy WHIMPS

[RobertScorpio]

Okay, in the other thread we are talking about assholes; now we are going the other way. Which characters, men/women, are some of scifi/fantasy biggest whimps of all kind. When the chips are down they are just whimpy. Here is my short list;

1. Jean-Luc Picard. Sorry folks, but to me, he is whimpy.

2. Adama from oldBSG. Talk about a whimp, oye.

3. Frodo. I never was a LOTR fan, oh I like the movies. But Frodo always seemed a bit whimpy to me.

1. Jean-Luc Picard. Sorry folks, but to me, he is whimpy.

He's got a real statesman-like quality and an ability to disarm some of the most threatening beings out there with a commanding presence. He's one of the strongest, least wimpy characters out there.

Also, lets not forget Star Trek: Die Hard....er, I mean Star Trek: First Contact.

"a person who lacks confidence, is irresolute and wishy-washy"

Jean Luc Picard fits this definition? Really? By which drunken alcoholic' who's never watched Star Trek's standard? People have written leadership books about Picard and the man was a male sex symbol and a cultural icon in the 1990s but he's a wimp? The man who fought the Borg, turned against the Federation on principal and had a combat manoeuvre named after him?

Frodo travelled for over a year with the most evil object in existence wrapped around his neck and prying into his brain.

Robert seems to think that anyone who doesn't beat the shit out of everything with their meat-hook hands while saying one-liners is a wimp. A laughable position at best. If I don't know better I'd think this thread (and his curt, insubstantial responses in it) was a lame attempt at trolling, but instead I think it's just someone trying to be contrary for attention. Oh wait.

hey..I made my picks as who I THOUGHT was wimpy. You don't like it? Fine. come up with some of your own. Or, gasp, are you to wimpy?

And sorry, but Picard, to me, was wimpy at times. I'm not the only one who thinks that way. If Earth's survival was at question I'd rather have Captain Kirk or Captain Sisko on the front line rather than Picard. I just don't want him there when the chips are down because, to me, he is wimpy.

Jar-Jar Binks.

Because SOMEONE had to say it eventually!

You broke Rule #3 of the TrekBBS Etiquette Manual!

Rule #3- Never mention Jar-Jar Binks.

For this, you will be flogged! Or trapped in an inane thread for the duration. Oh, wait...

Barbara Gordon/ old Batgirl .. I love her, but man it was more talk than anything else. She never could fight on her own.

Teela (from He-man) - supposedly, she was the captain of the guards, but she couldn't even fight her way out of a wet paper bag. I always noted this when I was a kid watching the old shows. even the droid she used to practice sword diueling would beat her. I remember one episode she went against her father's wishes and decided to walk around the woods by herself to feel independent, and when hat floatie magic dude followed her, she turned him away until she got captured... THEN she asked him to get help.

Tasha Yar - another security chief that prefers to cry, as in Hide and Q.

There are so many films in which woman look and act tough but they just can't actually handle a fight.

 

[All-Seeing I]

No mention of Private Hudson from Aliens yet? In fact, it was his wimpishness that made him the most eminently quotable character in sci-fi!

 

[Cap'n Caveman]

J. Wellington Wimpy

 

[Out Of My Vulcan Mind]

Dr. Zachary Smith (Jonathan Harris) in Lost in Space

Reg Barclay (Dwight Schultz) in Star Trek: The Next Generation

Cypher (Joe Pantoliano) in The Matrix

Rodney McKay (David Hewlett) in Stargate Atlantis

What?

Only Picard could do this:

Normally Vader would point and click your arse to death..... Picard single handedly knock him the hell out

3. Frodo. I never was a LOTR fan, oh I like the movies. But Frodo always seemed a bit whimpy to me.

Agreed he was a bit on the *flick of the wrist* side of things if you ask me.

The first character that came to mind for me was Reginald Barclay.

For a guy who's supposed to be in Starfleet and graduated the Academy, he sure was easy to shove around, scare and intimidate to the point where you'd expect him to either chat noir his pants or have his head explode from Constant-Nervous-Buildup-Syndrome.

Jean Luc-Picard? He may be self-righteous, stubborn and annoyingly holier than thou, but there's no way he would be considered wimpy by any stretch of imagination!

The wimps:

Christine Chapel (Star Trek) - women in TOS were so often written as whiners and wimps, and she was the worst by far.

Mohinder Suresh (Heroes)

Private Hudson (Aliens)

Barclay is kinda obvious... but since he and Hudson were meant to be wimpy, I'll add Lana Lang (Smallville) as an alternative choice - talk about wishy washy and whiny - or is her name also not to be mentioned on Trek BBS?

Let's not forget that he got in a fight with some Nausicaans and held out for the most part during a Cardassian interrogation that seemed to go on forever, among other situations.

Can't think of anyone off the top of my head other than Kayle from Firefly.

I just thought of someone: the biggest wimp in SF is Colonel Fisk (Pegasus XO and later captain) from BSG. Typical coward who just went with whatever his superior officer ordered, even when it was shooting civilians, because he didn't have the balls to refuse, even though he clearly thought it wasn't right. All he could do is complain to his drinking buddy Tigh - and even then he had to pretend like he was just joking!
