Which character?

Maybe it'd hit different now, but when I was watching Series 5 back round the time frame of it's release, I could not stand Amy. I absolutely detested the entirety of her overarching plot line. Everything about her felt unearned, both from a character and overall writing perspective.

So, Rory.

I think it was mostly the change to Moffat Who, where Moffat was absolutely obsessed with making everything connected and important/overblown, whereas RTD would just have fun with the Doctor.

Going with Rory even though he was a wet blanket most of the time, But I didn't really like anything from the Matt Smith years.

RTD tried to make everything about Rose which was detrimental to seasons 3 and 4 as well as Day of the Doctor.

Nah man, that was some of the best stuff. Him actually falling in love with a companion was new for him and going through all that and losing her had a profound effect that stayed with him for a while.

As for the question, Amy was a huge bitch that was constantly written as being smarter and more competent than the Doctor, which was a huge issue with both of their characters. The way she treated Rory was also just awful. He was more of a pet to her than a boyfriend. That said, he was basically her pet so I didn't give a shit about him either.

Amy Pond. Though admittedly a good portion of that is because Karen Gillan is gorgeous.

I think Rory had a couple of the best individual moments, though. Punching the Doctor for saying Amy isn't more important than the entire universe. "Would you like me to repeat the question?" Hell, basically his entire story as the Roman soldier was awesome.
