You know them. You hate them. Honestly, who knows&nbsp;why these characters even exist. Did someone think they were funny? Maybe adorable? Seriously? Like fingernails on a chalkboard, these annoying characters take teeth-gritting perseverance and expert channel-switching to avoid. Usually an attempt at comic relief, these are the characters you can&#39;t even love to hate. You just hate them. There are even some <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/whiniest-heroes-movies/ashley-reign" target="_blank">movie heroes whose incessant whininess</a> is enough to drive us all crazy.

Who is the most annoying movie or TV character of all time? We may never know. But this list will help us get a step closer (and let you know which movies and shows to avoid). Do annoying movie characters like Jar Jar Binks make Star Wars not worth watching? Maybe not. But we definitely won&#39;t be seeing any spinoff sequels starring the annoying little guy.

No one can blame you for finding these characters obnoxious and terrible, but to crown the worst offender, you&#39;ve got to make your voice heard.

The Legend of Korra

Animated

Let&#39;s be real for a second: waterbending is arguably the strongest bending style in the world of&nbsp;Avatar: The Last Airbender&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Legend of Korra&nbsp;and nobody is mad about it. With the ability to heal, phase shift the element between a solid, liquid, and a gas, and even control the fluids inside a living creature via bloodbending, waterbending has the potential to be the most dangerous powerset if it&#39;s put in the right (or wrong) hands.&nbsp;

In the years since Aang saved the world from the impending threat of the Fire Nation, many waterbenders have achieved mastery of the art in hyper-specific fields. Are you a fan of Kya&#39;s unparalleled healing abilities, or are you more of a traditionalist that just wants to see Master Pakku utterly destroy some Fire Nation soldiers? This is a list of the strongest waterbenders in&nbsp;ATLA&nbsp;and&nbsp;Korra.&nbsp;Vote up who you think are&nbsp;the strongest waterbenders!

This time, the legendary Avatar is a girl named Korra, who has to face spiritual and political unrest in an increasingly modernized world.&nbsp;

Korra is Aang&#39;s successor, but she&#39;s different in a lot of ways from the previous Avatar. She&#39;s headstrong and rebellious, but she has to transform from a warrior to more of a spiritual leader. And just like&nbsp;The Last Airbender,&nbsp;this&nbsp;Avatar has plenty of friends and foes throughout the series. Characters like Amon are a very different kind of antagonist than Zuko. As the mysterious yet charismatic leader of the Equalists, he&nbsp;seeks to bring about an anti-bending revolution.&nbsp;
