scifi/fantasy WHIMPS

Shinji Ikari from Neon Genesis Evangelion

There really is no comparison. Now I'm a fan of the character, and he gets his head screwed on straight towards the middle of the show (well, for about an episode and a half and then things get WORSE), but you really can't deny...he's Sci-Fi's biggest wimp.
 
The Jedi Knights in the Star Wars prequels....(These are the guys that Obi-Wan makes out to be mysterious, all powerful....etc...etc...etc...in the originals; but they come off as weak, obtuse...)
 
Jar-Jar from Star Wars prequel trilogy

Cringer from He-man

Scooby and Shaggy from Scooby Doo

Kraven from Underworld

Oh now wait a second!! Running from possible ghosts and monsters, as Scoob and shaggy do, is a lesson we should all listen too!! I run everytime I see a zombie!!!

Barcley: Need I go on?

The Marines from Aliens: They were all tough and macho when they were trashing talkin', but when it came down to it, they go wiped out, especially when they could not use their fancy toys....and the fact a young girl, without any weapons, was able to survive for alot longer than they did.

"The Company" from the Aliens movies: Like all corporate suits. More afraid of profit loss than the loss of human life.

The Jedi: A bunch of pompus assholes who were fossilized in an old fashioned system, and could not figure out who the threat was untill it was too late.

Kryton from Red Dwarf: It's like C-3PO and Full House's Danny Tanner had a love child. We lost Rimmer for awhile, yet we kept lego head? I only liked Kryton from his first story, when he was just a house keeping robot.

Adric: Someone in Dr. Who that I always have a toast to when he's off'ed in Earthshock.

Blurr from Generation 1 Transformers: He was pretty cool in the original animated movie, but turned into a complete wuss later on. Only in that episode where Perceptor's mind was transfered into a robot Geisha was Blurr decent.

Scooter from Go-Bots: I'm surprised Turbo never decked him in the face. :rommie:

Buzzwang from Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers: C-3PO meets Jar-Jar. Only character I hated from that otherwise amazing series. :bolian:

Thundercats' Snarf: 'Nuff said.

Baxter Stockman: Read above.

The cochaine factory owner from the first Robocop: :rommie:

Van Staton from 2005's Dr. Who story, Dalek: He was all tough when he was able to erase people's minds, hide alien evidence from the public, manipulate politics, medicine and science....but when it all boiled down to it, he was just a sniveling little runt who I only wish had his brains splattered on the wall by either the Doctor, Rose, or the Dalek.

Sir Robin from Monty Python and the Holy Grail: ;)

Davros: "Have pity on meeeeeeee!" :rolleyes:

~Knows he's going to get crucified for this one~
The former captain of the Kelvin: If he was so bad-ass as so many claim he was, he'd have been able to shrug off that spear he took, as if a fly landed on his chest. :rommie:

ST3's entire Spacedock personal: I'm surprised the space dock itself did not fall apart with them running things. :lol:

Kang and Kodos: Those 2 are afraid of boards with nails in them. :p

Johnny 5: You should have kept that laser weapon for your sequel, tanky.

Earnest Borgnine's character from The Black Hole: He probably wishes he leg really was broken instead, before he got blown up.

The president from Escape from L.A.: I have to go pray!
 
I personally like thinking about the characters that come across as wimpy, and often are, but turn out to be some seriously hardcore mofos.

Dominar Rygel the XVI is a huge example of just such a character. Most of the time he's a sniveling, cowardly thief who only looks out for himself. He can talk a big game, but he usually backs down at the first sign of violence.

Then out of nowhere he turns around, beheads the man who tortured him for decades, and runs around with his head on a stick.

That's just fucking bad ass.

I don't get the raging about him at all. He was a downright pussy. I guess "bald" means "bad ass" unless your name happens to be "Picard." At least if the original poster of this thread has anything to say about it.

Is Mr. Clean a bad-ass, then? :cool:
 
Wesley was a wimp at the start, but he was a hardcore bad ass by the end of Angel.

Not all of them. He was pretty wimpy in "Time Enough at Last" & "Mr. Dingle the Strong." However, he was Lucifer himself in "Printer's Devil" and he showed a great deal of moral courage standing up to that evil government in "The Obsolete Man."

I was about to mention The Obsolete Man, myself. Fantastic episode of The Twilight Zone, and not at all a wimpy character.

Hah! Yeah, that bit was all kinds of twisted. :devil:
