These 30 Fictional Characters Are The Most Unwanted In The Real World, As Shared By People In This Online Group
In the fictional world, anything can happen: people can fly, make all of their dreams come true, read minds, and other fun stuff. But it also reveals people's darkest fears, explores the dark side of human psychology, and the authors of those fictional worlds let their characters loose.
They're only fictional characters, right? So no harm here—we can exit the story as easily as we entered it. But what if some of the movie, book, and mythological characters were real? Reddit user SugarMinnow had that thought too and asked "Who is a fictional character that you're glad isn't real, and why?"
Over 17k people responded, listing their most feared characters. Some of them reasoned their opinions, while some didn't think that obvious things need to be explained. Bored Panda went through the thread and picked the characters that most people felt glad were not real. What do you think of them? Is there any character that you're glad is not real that is not mentioned here? Then put it in the comments down below!

I'd say Lex Luthor, but Jeff Bezos is already half way there.
#2
The duck from The Duck Song
Imagine trying to run your business and a 4ft duck comes in everyday asking for grapes and s*** KNOWING you don’t sell grapes
#3
Freddie Kruger by a lot. Assuming he at any point gets tired of Elm Street kids.
#4
Burger King. He has not demonstrated to me that he would effectively rule a sovereign nation. He has shown little in the way of diplomacy skills, and has no record on defense. Unlike rival nations he has no enduring cabinet or advisers (no Grimace, for example). He has never forged an alliance (with Ronald or Wendy, at least). Flame-broiled only gets you so far on the world stage.
#5
Jigsaw. I don’t wanna make some mistake in my life and get killed for it. Have you seen the petty s*** people get abducted for in some of those movies?
#6
Dr. Evil - He'd kill us all using frickin sharks with frickin laser beams attached to their heads...
#7
Pennywise...
Duh...
#10
That massive alien spider thing from the Mandalorian and all its babies ;-;
#12
Sandman. Imagine some stupid mf comes every night in your house and puts f*****g sand in your eyes.
#13
Voldemort.
Having an immortal wizard dude (Since Harry isn't around) that can just go around Avada Kedavra'ing anyone he doesn't like sounds miserable.
#14
The stay puft marshmallow man
For obvious reasons
#15
The Joker. The last thing the world needs right now is that guy running around.
#16
Well, Hitler was real, and that was pretty bad. So I'm gonna assume Mecha-Hitler would be worse.
#17
Zapp Brannigan. Incompetent, arrogant, shameless, manipulative, zero morals or empathy, yet in a position of almost unequalled power.
Although he isn't real, he's unfortunately representative of a lot of man-children in positions of power.
#18
Azathoth
Literally the embodiment of true chaos and insanity. His dreams are our universe, if he ever wakes up all of reality will be wiped from existence.
#19
Homelander
#20
All the dimensionless characters in H.P. Lovecraft literature because they're terrifying, beyond words.
Gandalf the Pink 3 years ago
My favorite take on Cthulhu mythos creatures, is that they only seem to be made out of hundred goat legs, a million eyes and tentacles because their appearances are so so so alien they completely break our minds. So we see the scariest, ugliest things our brains can come up with.
#21
Kirby, he could eat everything you hold dear.
#22
The Man in Black, the Walkin’ Dude, Randall Flagg… multidimensional pure evil.
#23
Kratos. Sure he’s a single dad just doing his best now but he killed an entire pantheon and sent the world into irreparable chaos. He raised the seas, unleashed hordes of lost souls from hades, blocked out the sun, killed Gaia, literally Mother Earth, and no matter how hard he or anyone else tried he couldn’t seem to die. And that’s just in one of the games.
#24
Little Finger...
We don't need World war 3 anytime soon!
Luis Hernandez Dauajare 3 years ago
Just a talented, well connected manipulator with no empathy and huge ambition. Pretty sure there a real version of him in every government, corporation and organization, to all levels.
#25
Darth Vader, love the character but would not like to be on the receiving end of his lightsaber/force/arm

Oh no!! A limbless grandpa with asthma that sucks at the floor is lava!!! (Sarcasm on)
#26
Baldrick.
Imagine the smell..
#27
The Terminator. Hopefully unstoppable killer robots will never be part of our lifetime.
Emma Byrne 3 years ago
But killer robots are already here. We have strategic drones some of which are now almost completely autonomous, requiring little to no human input :O
#28
Megatron. Do we really need a crazy robot the size of a tank running around? Even worse would be his namesake from Beast Wars. That one is devious, yeees
#30
Galactus. We ain't got s*** for him and he would just roll through our solar system as we just watched the news talking about strange phenomenon happing related to gravity in flux. Then one day we just see a giant hand in the sky

Sigh... Drukhari, Chaos Space Marines, Carcharodons chapters of Space Marines, Orks, Tyranids, servitors of the Cult Mechanicus... these are bad enough to make you s**t your pants. Then you realise that if any of these exist, then Chaos and the warp exists... and when we die, it's just eternal suffering and torment at the hands of the Chaos Gods.

I know it's not exactly a character, but the Whomping Willow. No one wants a tree that can beat you to death around. Oh, and Munson from Robot Chicken. For no other reason than he is really loud and annoying. I almost forgot, Christine, the killer car.

Odium from the Stormlight Archive: literally turn people to dust using his full power and has an army of super-powered Voidbringers. Also from the Stormlight Archive: chasmfiends, no one needs a thing that’s hundreds (maybe thousands) of feet long and is virtually indestructible. The only thing that can kill it when it’s not in a chrysalis is a Shardblade and there is no equivalent of it in our world.

Let's see.... How about, just for one thing, Shelob? Sure Sam injures her and gets her to back off... But she's a GIANT SPIDER with a GIANT STINGER! Sauron, Smaug, Morgoth, Ringwraiths, Orcs, pretty much any evil Middle Earth thing, and sure most of these get defeated at some point, but come on! I certainly don't want any of these!

The old gods from cabin in the woods. All our lives depend on how slutty a college girl is and how much weed a idiot smokes. Also on their list they had all these scary monsters and then there was the name Kevin. I really don't want to find out what kind of monster he is. It would be kinda cool to see the merman in action though.
