Heroes you yelled "YOU IDIOT!" at.

I wouldn't call him a hero but Walt from Breaking Bad, there have been many times I think he is just a moronic asshole.

Example doesn't work, the show is a catalog of human failure to begin with.
Similarly, I could say Kick-Ass (from Kick-Ass), except that we aren't SUPPOSED to like the stupid little asshole. Or anyone in the comic.

I... actually can't think of any at the moment... The only examples I can think of would be things I personally would do different, but that the character could never do.

when i think of something i will add

Most heroes seem to do at least one really retarded thing
From recent memory: Ezio sparring Rodrigo Borgia in Assassins Creed 2. I figured he wouldn?t die since Rodrigo Borgia was a real person and didn't die in that year but I had hoped he would escape or something not have Ezio all of a sudden start having issues with killing his enemies. ?killing you won?t bring my family back.? really Ezio? Really? It?s not even about your family anymore. You should be killing him because he is a templar and a threat.

Ezio doesn't think he IS a threat anymore... And he's right. If Cesare hadn't been batshit insane, Ezio would have had a nice retirement in the country as a wealthy noble. Rodrigo never cared about templar ideals (and cesare less so) but rather was using them to amass wealth and power. Since he is now the most powerful man in europe, and has learned the alien magitech secret is entirely lost to him, he wasn't gonna make any more trouble. Furthermore, Ezio chooses not to kill him not because revenge is wrong, but because he thinks he has more important things to do. He chooses noble and lofty goals over revenge, and then is bitterly disappointed when he learns his quest for vengeance is utterly insignificant and that his struggles are not important, as long as he fills his role of messenger boy.
To sum up, Ezio spares Pope Alexander VI because of his pride. He is saying "I don't need to kill you, because I've beaten you, and there are much cooler things for me to take part in". It's the ultimate act of Ezio's biggest flaw, and when he is punished for it, it makes the ending to Screed 2 all the better for those of us who hate that arrogant little prick.

Gonna have to go with Batman. I do respect him and really like the character as well as the movies that he's in but...for fuck's sake KILL THE JOKER! Are you really willing to let him kill hundreds and hundreds of people just so you can keep your little moral code? Would the Joker's five seconds of satisfaction really be that bad? And being forces to kill that guy isn't going to turn you into that physcopathic Primarch with the vigilant phase from 40k.

Yes. I can't remember what comic it is, but it spells out exactly why batman won't kill. He knows he should kill the joker, or at the very least, let Robin (if i remember correctly, its the comic where robin comes back as the red hood) kill him, but wont PURELY because he doesn't want to give up his sense of moral superiority. It's an excellent illustration of how batman is just as flawed as the criminals he faces.

you know, in case the suit and vigilantism didn't do it for ya

 

[userwhoquitthesite]

Frodo. He should not have been the ring bearer.

No. Sam should have been. "Holy shit! I could use this ring to whip ALL the asses!" *beat* "Wait, wtf? How would that help me grow potatoes? Dude, I'm so gonna throw this stupid ring in a fire"
He's like Tom Bombadil (ring-a-dong dillo) but without needing some damn ritalin to focus.

 

[userwhoquitthesite]

DEFINETLY CAPTAIN america in the avengers film he kept trying to piss of iron man and was a nagging retard when id had enough of his bull i lterally shouted shut up you douche!

He just b

It seems no one has picked him yet, so I will just say one name.

Eragon.

I don't think I need to elaborate on this one.

Sweet monkey jesus, how did I forget that asshole?

Eragon was a great way to show that you shouldn't listen to your teenage self. That ending made no god damn sense and clearly only existed to line up with what he wrote as a younger, stupider person. Then again, I shouldn't have been expecting much, considering I called every major plot development in the series from reading the first book (I knew the dragons would still be alive in some way, I didn't specifically call ghost rocks) and then he introduced literal Magic Nukes.


Also, Kratos in GoW2
Aww, the other gods are mean to you? MAN UP, YOU WHINY DOUCHE

Hello escapees, I'm here to vent about various characters in film we're supposed to side with and ultimately end up hating, it can be one thing, it can be the entire way they do things, or it can just be them.

First, it's the dumb love interest from X-men Origins:Wolverine. (I know, shitty film), for the one last thing she does. She has the bad guy, someone who has shown himself to be willing to kill, hire others to kill, control others with various means to kill, to turn a cheery man into an expriment that required the kidnapping of children and adults, and the forced extraction of their powers, and then ruining someone's life forver. She has this bastard under her control, gets him to stick his gun to his throat...... and makes him walk off.

What
The
Fuck.

Apparantly this would make her "just as bad as him."

No.
No it wouldn't.

You would be killing him, a man who is responsible for the deaths of many, the trauma of more, is going to cause many more problems and deaths for everyone years later, is a borderline genocidal maniac for whom the end justifies the means,and the end is pretty fucking bleak, and you think making him blowing his brains out will make you just as bad as him?

Clearly her brain was damaged.

Alot of the time I find heroes demand on only killing people in self defense. I have had so many just shoot him now kill him now just shoot him now he will break out if you catch him and then you will be responsible for everything he can and will do. Just put the gun to his head and execute him.

This is my feelings about Batman and the Joker. The crazy clown guy must have killed more people than malaria at this point; why haven't you powerbombed him off of a skyscraper into the concrete below yet? Yes, I get that you have this "thou shalt not kill"-schtick going, but how many more people is Mr. J gonna have to kill before someone, anyone, takes the final step and sticks him in the electric chair?

Well, to be fair... Batman does his part, whereas the Gotham City justice system is way too stupid to realize a few things:
1. Locking super-criminals up together in the same shoddy run-down asylum is most likely a BAD IDEA.
2. Execution of said super-criminals should be standard procedure, since its been pretty well proven that they're too broken to return to society.
3. Or... Exile to another dimension since there seems to be that technology there (while it was a shit movie, the Jet Li movie "The One" had this down pat.

Any of those 3 things would work but Gotham City is just too stupid. And Batman is only doing their jobs for them and still considered a criminal. But he won't cross the line and do what they do, no matter what happens. People say things like "Oh I'd kill him in a heartbeat" but honestly get another human being (even a serial killer is still human) helpless before you with their life in your hands and then tell me whether you can do it. Til then its hypothetical, killing people is never easy.

Would it count to yell at Lawrence and call him a fucking moron when in Season 2

Spoiler: spoilers for Spice & Wolf season 2

Holo learns that her homeland was destroyed and asked Lawrence to make love to her

?

Because he REALLY was a fucking MORON there!

To be fair if some girl all of a sudden went into hysterics demanding you knock her up so she can have another person like her so she isn't lonely its hard to respond. You could sleep with her but in her state of mind I am not sure she would appreciate it later. Still after instead of just talking to her he goes and designs a complex market crashing scheme... I just kept thinking if she really wants to go with him who are you to keep her? She can go with whoever she wants once her debt has been paid. If she wanted to go with him and you prevented that she will resent you.

 

[userwhoquitthesite]

Every single last freaking time, a "hero" says: "IF YOU KILL HIM YOU WILL BE JUST LIKE HIM!"

No just no.
Killing the man who killed an entire city, or building, or your family, does not make you as bad as them.
Its nothing more than angsty moralizing that means nothing.

Mostly since it happened in my D/D game that ended my Paladin career.

I had a disgusting slaver at my mercy who was a complete monster.
So I gutted him before he could get help from the VERY corrupt court.

DM: "YOU FALL FROM BEING A PALADIN YOU LOSE ALL YOUR POWERS REPENT NOW!!!!!!!"
Me: "What the hell?"

He then lectured me over how my paladin was just as bad as the slaver for having killed him when he begged for mercy.
No...just NO. My Paladin struck down ONE bad guy, he never tortured, kidnapped, enslaved, or whatever else that dude did. Killing a MONSTER does not ever turn you into a monster.

Then again that dude was probably just pissy that I killed a villain he wanted to use for the long haul.

He's a shitty DM... that's kind of the whole deal with paladins... they're so black and white that they do "bad" things like executing a downed foe.

OT: Sephiroth in Crisis Core, Angeal and Genisis count too but mostly Sephiroth.

Him: "Oh no I just discovered that I am born of some monster that tried to destroy the world"
Me: ... Ok this changes what about your life so far?
Him: "TIME TO TURN EVIL AND KILL ALL MY FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES"
Me: Well that escalated quickly...

Actually anyone who changes alignment after the discover they aren't human makes me rage.

Crisis Core was a piece of shit, just like every FFVII sequel. In FFVII, Sephiroth's face-heel turn isn't because he's not human, it's because he is already emotionally crippled from his upbringing, and then learns that NOTHING he has been told is the truth. He thinks his father figure (Gast) only saw him as a science experiment, and the actual details of his creation. Personal identity is a powerful thing: think about it in more realistic terms. Mutilating your body for the sake of appearance is kind of crazy, right? Like, maybe piercings or tattoos, because they aren't "serious" damage, but how about slicing off your genitals and carving a new hole in your body? Implanting possibly dangerous items to alter your shape? That's kind of insane. And yet, gender reassignment surgery exists, because the people who get it are compelled to by their sense of identity. Now imagine that you have been brought up in a cold, clinical environment without any real nurturing. You are treated as different, and alienated from the fleeting aquaintances you have. In desperation you latch onto the one person to show you the least bit of tenderness, and they LEAVE you. Your life is based entirely around combat and slaughter. You grow to adulthood in war. You don't know what you are fighting for, only that you are supposed to. You have no real friends, because most people view you as a labrat, something to be feared, or an object of pure awe, too high on a pedestal to approach. There is one person who looks past that and wishes to befriend you, but by now you're an emotionally crippled adult who doesn't know how to allow such an emotional connection. Then, finally, you learn that the people who you have served all your life are evil, and that everything you've done has been an asset to their aims. And the one thing that made you like everyone else, your humanity, is a lie. Your mother wasn't a woman who died bringing you into this world, but an alien monstrosity. You are a genetically assembled creature, a weapon, built to destroy.

Add the influence of Jenova and her will to destroy all life and absorb it, and you've got one hell of a prescription for a psychotic episode.

EDIT: yes, i put this much thought into FFVII. It's why the game is so good, and why the sequels are so crap.

 

[Lonewolfm16]

Clary from the Mortal insttuments. I spent all of the last book resenting her. *spoilers* she uses her one wish granted by a angel to bring back her dead boyfriend who was killed a few minutes before. That seems fine but she could have wished for anything. She could have wished for a magic stone with the power to bring the dead back and brought back everyone who died in battle. She could have wished for the cure to cancer and saved millions. But no of course not because she is in love, amd for some reason that means all morals and logic don't apply because love is good right? Seriously and the worst part is she recognizes this and thinks she made the right choice. She admits she could have wished to cure all disease but because Jace is more important she thinks that is the right choice. How selfish! Because you like someone better than everyone else their lives don't matter? And what about all the lovers just as in love as you or Jace who are torn apart by cancer or other diseases? You could have helped hundreds of thousands but instead decided to help only yourself. So yeah screw her and her mental disorder.

 

[milo2215]

The explanation for that is, in the Walking Dead universe, George Romero never released his movies and the word "zombie" isn't a common part of pop culture. Sorry if I am replying after someone has already answered you, hahaha

 

[twaddle]

Rick from The Walking Dead, for not pimp-slapping all the hysterical women into shutting up (I don't mean to sound sexist, but in the show, it's only the women that go "AAAH MY BABY/SISTER/FATHER!" and in general can't make a rational thought to save their life).

After the end of Season 1, I wanted all the men in the group to say "Fuck it, we don't need you. You can stay here and die" to all the other survivors and just leave them (including Ricks stupid-ass son).

Oh dear god, I hated Carl and Andrea. They just had so many annoying attitude problems. I really wish someone would drop kick them a few times.

You know it's bad when there's a meme confirming it.

you forgot the rebel badass who is out for his own ass as number 3

Don't forget this physchotic break took about a week of him reading reports, it wasn't an instant change, and since his mum being JENOVA is actually a lie as well, how much of the information in those reports were lies or half truths designed by Hojo to send Sephiroth batshit insane.

Also with regards to the paladin incident it seems more in characterfor him to kill the slaver especially if he knows the courts are corrupt. I could imagine the paladin look at the slaver and say something along the lines of how many have begged for their lives from you only to be cut down where they stand.

Another idiot hero would be Adam Jensen in Hong Kong talking to the dragon lady, I actually yelled shoot her you idiot before she escapes I don't buy any of her drivel, oh wait behind a bullet proof screen, well done hero.

Every Jedi in the Star Wars prequels. Every one.

^ This. Although at the risk of sounding like a fanboy I don't hate the prequels, just certain things in them lol. Also there were several times I watched Grevious (I know, a villain not a hero) and thought, "well if this was Clone Wars micro-series Grevious you'd be proper fucked." instead of him being sorta a flashy wuss like in the movie.

[TheTurtleMan]

You know I didn't think I had a problem with choices the characters on Walking Dead made because it seemed like no one would act rationally given the circumstances. However now I realize that there was a reason that I was never sad when one of them died, they were all too stupid to sympathize with!

Everyone is allowed room for error during the apocalypse but really? It's a pivotal mark in each season when someone makes a rational decision because it happens so rarely.

All the women on that show are either bonkers, baby bitches, or dead weight. I was hoping that old woman that wouldn't stop crying about Sofia would have been eaten or shot in the last season finally because she takes the take for being dead weight cry baby. And Daryl should have shot Andrea in the fucking face for clipping him with that rifle shot.

And last of all... Carl, get in the fucking house and stay there.

He doesn't know about Lucrecia, and all those reports are standard project files. Sephiroth wasn't supposed to find the lab, nor did Hojo intend to drive him insane (he just took advantage of it for fun). EVERY bit of information "added" by the sequels (and prequels, yes, just to be clear) is either stupid or WRONG, cheapens the original game, and will be entirely ignored by me, and hopefully any other real fans of FFVII.

*waves my nerd banner of hate and parades off into the darkness*

 

[Tippy]

Pretty much every time a protagonist dicks around talking and acting dramatic while missing a thousand opportunities to kill the antagonist (a completely evil jerk, or a potentially evil jerk).

I wish game developers, anime writers, hollywood, etc etc all learn that nothing turns off the audience more than a protagonist who is...well, constantly makes retarded decisions (unless it's a comedy and they're supposed to do that).

"Don't talk. Just shoot."

That's why it's absolutely GLORIOUS in the occasional movie/game where the protagnist does end the villain without messing around and I yell at my TV "yes, THAT'S how its done!"

Case in point: "Taken" starring Liam Neeson. Extract info, kill (maybe say just 1 badass line), move on. VERY satisfying to watch.

True and i'm not basing this on prequels/sequels of the game (since I haven't played them) and I do admit that Sephiroth doesn't find out about his real mother, though Cloud and party do, and the false information is speculation on my part but something I believe Hojo would do based on his character throughout the game.
