Designated Protagonist Syndrome: Difference between revisions

* ''[[The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air|The Fresh Prince of Bel Air]]'': While it certainly isn't a universal opinion, a lot of people find protagonist Will to be the least interesting character on Fresh Prince. Many find Will to be an annoying and over-the-top [[Jerk Sue]]. In addition, many simply find Hilary to be a funnier character, or find Uncle Phil more admirable, or root for Carlton because his status as the [[Straw Loser]] makes him more sympathetic to a lot of people, etc.

** The part about Will could actually be summed up nicely when Carlton gave Will this much needed [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]

* ''[[Entourage]]'''s Vincent Chase as played by Adrien Grenier is easily the weakest link in the cast (possibly because of how hard it is to be convinced by an unknown tv star playing a movie star) with most of the supporting characters having pretty big fanbases but Vince being generally unliked.

* Stefan in ''[[The Vampire Diaries]]''. He's supposed to be the hero, but the majority of viewers call him boring and prefer Damon, his more interesting and complicated older brother. It's not really getting better as the series progresses since side characters like Caroline, Tyler, Klaus, Rebekah, and Jeremy are all becoming more interesting than Stefan too.
