Fandom Mashups (38)

Fandom Mashups is a feature hosted by Lunar Rainbows Reviews. There's a different scenario each week, and you choose a "dream team" of five characters from five different fandoms whom you think are best suited for the situation.

This week's topic is:
You've met a SERIOUSLY annoying person and try as you might, you can't seem to get rid of him/her. As one final last ditch effort, you've decided to make yourself a team of annoying characters to fight fire with fire, because what could go wrong? Which characters from within your fandoms are you going to pick? (Part 1 of 2)

Looking over my picks for this week's topic, I can confidently say that I would NOT want to be locked in a room with them, lolol. Not everyone may find these characters annoying, but they all grated on my nerves quite a bit:

  1. Elena Gilbert (The Vampire Diaries): Specifically, Elena as she's portrayed in the the VD novels that I read. And I only read said novels (three total) because Melissa begged me to. (I feel she still owes me coffee or something for that.) Book Elena lacks common sense about 99.9% of the time, which is one of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to fictional characters.
  2. Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones): Specifically, Anakin in this movie. He comes off so petulant, like if Obi Wan doesn't let him have his way, Anakin gets all pouty about it. This is not the future Darth Vader I pictured in my mind at all.
  3. Tris (Divergent): I quit Divergent after one book, and Tris was a big factor in that. The way she treated her "friends" really, really bothered me. I understood that they were also her competitors, but I thought she could be really two-faced with them.
  4. Argus Filch (Harry Potter): This guy is always in the place where you least need him to be. He's also incredibly annoying in the Lego HP game because if he catches you prowling around Hogwarts after hours, he literally grabs you and won't let go until your teammate rescues you.
  5. Robert/Robin Arryn (Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire): No matter what name this kid goes by, he's a little brat. To be fair, his mother is mostly to blame for that, but excusing his behavior goes out the window (or should I say, Moon Door? XD) whenever I think of him destroying Sansa's Winterfell that she built out of snow. It's hard to believe that he's a cousin to the Stark children.

  1. OMG I almost went with Elena^^ I haven't read the books but her character in the show drives me up the wall! I was so thrilled when she left the show anymore, I almost did a happy dance! Sadly, the quality of the show has taken a further hit this season too so the thrill of her absence has been dampened. XD I *also* almost went with Anakin from the movies, but then thought of someone else that annoyed me even more than him in Star Wars. You're right that he was super pouty and petulant. Ugh. Tris is another good one, and if you thought she was annoying in Divergent, you should have seen her in the rest of the series O.O Actually, you shouldn't. You did good quitting that mess Lee^^ LOL! Oh and Filch? Yeah. He just really sucks! I bet he'd bug me even more if I'd played the HP Lego game...which I WILL!

    1. Filch is such a nuisance in the Lego HP game, as you'll see when you play, lol. Phew- I'm glad I bailed on Divergent! I watched the Insurgent movie, just out of curiosity, and it definitely didn't wow me, so I didn't feel so bad about not continuing with the books. And I don't think you ever want to meet book Elena- she's super, super frustrating to read about!

  2. I don't know who I'll get, but I'm sure I'll pick someone who won't have qualms in evening the score for me. LOL

    Maybe a witch or something to that effect? Wait! I'll get those girls from The Craft! Hahaha

    1. Nice, lol! Can you believe I've never seen that movie? It's one of those ones that I'm pretty sure everyone has watched- except me. XD

  4. Elena's character in the books is incredibly annoying. I believe I only made it through 3 of them as well before I had to give up. I haven't read the Divergent series, I've only seen the movie and I enjoy her character in the film. I'm laughing SO HARD at your Filch though and that he specifically is even more annoying in the Lego HP game. I must not have gotten caught by him yet! I can just imagine him grabbing you and holding you for dear life though and that would drive me crazy.

    1. If Filch catches you in the game, he DOESN'T LET GO! Your teammate has to chase Mrs. Norris around to get Filch to release you, lol.
