>With DC it’s Harley Quinn and her personality lacking GF Ivy being forced into shit as well as Joker or Nightwing from time to time and making it worse.

>With Marvel it’s Deadpool, Carol, and Loki being forced into shit and making it worse.

What is this kind of character called and why is it so fucking annoying? Do people actually like this? Is there something I’m not seeing?
>>
Carol is the best so I'm not sure what you mean
>>
Back in the day we called these characters Poochies in reference to The Simpsons where they had a whole episode dedicated to forcing a new Itchy & Scratchy character into the show that was made to be ‘hip’ and ‘with it’ for newer audiences and forced him into everything.
There’s always been these types of characters.
Nowadays though we just call them Industry Plants.

She looks like Charlie Hazbin Hotel in that picture.

Carol isn't even the best Captain Marvel.

>Do people actually like this?
At this point, I'm convinced that no, they don't actually like it. They just pretend to, so they don't fall out of line.
The problem is, nobody else likes the characters either, thus creating a vicious circle.

The company either doesn’t realize this or doesn’t care, and thus keeps pushing those characters into everything.

I'm pretty sure it's just self insertion and fan service. People see Harley, Ivy, Deadpool or Loki and jerk it cause their lgbt rep is there to bloat up the story with their "heckin ebic quirkiness"

>Everyone must be pretending to like this extremely popular thing because I don't.
This mindset requires a special sort of deluded retardation.
>>
Nightwing and Joker are uber popular, especially joker. Harley was for a bit, doesnt seem to still be.

Deadpool and loki are too. Carol was popular but never insanely popular.
>>
>>150391328
>Is there something I’m not seeing?

Normies are tasteless retards who adore their “LE QUIRKY” characters, so no.
>>
>>150392509
> Nightwing and Joker

Nightwing was cool but his recent stuff is kinda boring, Joker hasn’t interested me in a long time.

> Deadpool and loki
Deadpool hasn’t been good since Way destroyed him, and Loki is just annoying.

If you wanted me to elaborate, you should have said so. I'm not saying they didn't genuinely like it at first, or that it wasn't enjoyable to varying degrees when it first caught the public's attention. But with their current status and overexposure, I do think some have deluded themselves into believing it's still good, and therefore feel they should like it.

Prove to me they aren’t good because I don’t see a problem. Not everyone thinks like you

They put out a fucking fart fetish book for Harley, cmon man
>>
>>150391328
I personally call them slop.
>>
>>150392560
Eh, recent DP comics are okay-ish. Not good, but not “LOLOL CHIMICHANGA” like Waypool so there’s a slight improvement.

>>150393833
I mean besides Harley. what’s wrong with the others?
>>
>>150391328
Villains they are called villains. And villains are only good as enemies to heroes.

>>150394319
Ohho so goalposting now

>>150394319
Ivy lost all personality the second she became Harley's girlfriend and her villainous motives went from "All non-plant life must die" to "People should be more green and also I'm going to just kill and rob people when I feel like it and get away with it cause I'm girlboss".
