Absolutely Pathetic

''Hmph. Pathetic.''

When the subject of this UnTrash is so utterly pitiful that it becomes a disgusting sight to anyone who witnesses it. If it's a person who's Absolutely Pathetic, they're likely a Wimp, Wuss, or Wiener, roles that are naturally lowly and uncool. If it's an object that's pathetic, it could be a very ineffective weapon, something that breaks after any form of pressure is put on it, or a tool that has no effect after being used. No one wants to deal with anything Absolutely Pathetic. The Main Cast and the Good Guys alike will gravitate towards the decision of abandoning somebody who's struggling to have any kind of desirable presence.

Adventurous franchises can't function with their leads being too scaredy to face danger. These people slow the story to a crawl as their "friends" now have to waste time building them up with courage. Motivation Talks and Confidence Training might be ineffective on someone who shrieks and flees at the sight of a Shadow Fake-Out. If they're scared of a shadow, then imagine how they'd crumble apart when against a real threat. A Complete Screw-Up who's Good For Nothing may reach the realization that their attempt to amount to anything are Absolutely Pathetic. This has the power to send them into a low depression. The Complete Screw-Up loses their sense of self-worth and consider themselves unsuitable for a traveling team. A kindly member of their team may extend a helping hand to pull their friend out of this emotional rut, but this can be an effort that requires steady patience.
