10 Most Unnecessarily Hated Characters In Film History

While there may be some liberties taken in the defence of various characters on this list, there can be no doubting that this entry was 100% in the right. The fact that an unauthorised Nuclear reactor was installed without a permit in a previously abandoned fire station is something that needed urgent addressing.

Unlike other entries on this list, EPO Inspector Walter Peck is initially extremely polite in his interactions with the rogue group calling themselves the 'Ghostbusters'. Peck politely asks to see the mechanism in which the ghosts are stored, but is rebuffed in an unnecessarily passive aggressive manner.

Peck is quite right in organising warrants to have the unauthorised nuclear reactor turned off, the resulting explosion that incurs further proof that he has done the right thing. He rightfully has the men responsible arrested, before no doubt having to undergo a tonne of paperwork to explain what happened.

There is a fair argument that Peck wasn't aware enough of the growing escalation of events occurring in New York when he barged in to the Mayor's office so angrily in the film's final act. However, being insulted and told that 'he has no dick' rightfully provoked an angry reaction, especially considering he was lucky to survive the initial explosion at the Ghostbusters base.
