Annoying main characters

Tweet

It seems to be a growing trend in movies to have main characters who I myself find really annoying. I'm going to take the movie Jumper as an example. It had a great concept except the movie was ruined because the main character spent the entire movie whining and it just got on my nerves. The series Heroes is awesome except for Peter Petrelli who, apart from being the most powerful is, for lack of a better way to describe him, a stupid emo. If you are watching a movie and feel like a character needs to be killed slowly and painfully, it is supposed to be the bad guy.
