Tyrion and Jaime Lannister in Round of Positions of royalty - awesome characters in an incredible show who do a lot of terrible things. Will Graham in Hannibal and perhaps Oliver Ruler in Bolt additionally fit the screw-up mark and I adore those shows. (Also, as you specified, Batman.Yet, those demonstrates all misunderstanding their tones and pacing and narrating. It's that satellite television blend of screw-up + mystery twofold life + dismal tone + moderate pace that I can't take any longer. It influences me to have a craving for scratching my eyeballs out. <br /><a href="https://topcelebritysnapchat.com/" rel="nofollow">snapchat names to follow</a>Celebrity Snapchat Usernameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13614307644661900791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828041471522671543.post-23173397047612564812013-12-22T12:45:36.714-07:002013-12-22T12:45:36.714-07:00and by having flaws i mean "have flaws that o...and by having flaws i mean "have flaws that overshadow all else." Tony stark was only likable for me in the first iron man and the later part of the third. In his other appearances he was a complete douchebag who is rude and insensitive to everyone he allegedly cares for. As lame as Killian's motivations were (Tony was mean at a party) it at least forced tony to admit that even his smaller actions could have consequences).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828041471522671543.post-84539904678384008722013-12-22T12:39:50.716-07:002013-12-22T12:39:50.716-07:00OK.

I just feel that in recent years people slam regular heroes and assume that for a hero to be interesting they must be really damaged or have flaws. Luke Skywalker was a fundementally nice guy. HE had flaws but it didn't keep him from being a truly good person. Superman worked because he has issues, but is still a good person. In the animated series he let his distaste of batman (part of it was that batman was fucking lois, part of it was superman just did not approve of his style) cloud his judgment. The end result? He almost dies. Or in Legacy. Kara is badly injured and when the doctor refuses to treat her out of fear Superman lashes out and basically threatens to kill him. It's a loss of control and he regrets it, but it was still pretty damn terrifying. In that case, Superman was able to resonate with me. He felt human. He felt fallible. He made mistakes, he lost his temper, he acted like a human.<br /><br />I'm not dissing the anti hero. But anti heroes have to be kind of likable. In God of War 1 Kratos was an anti hero because he genuinely regretted his crimes, genuinely wanted to set things right and was still less of a monster than ares. In the 2nd and most of the third game, he's an asshole. He wants revenge for a punishment he wholly deserved.<br /><br />Jaime has humanity (he killed the king in order to save the city, he cares for Brienne and genuinely loves his brother).<br /><br />I'm annoyed by the idea that a good hero must be a douchebag.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828041471522671543.post-21943787610945763872013-12-21T06:59:32.619-07:002013-12-21T06:59:32.619-07:00I have nothing against an antihero as a general pr...I have nothing against an antihero as a general principle - Olivia Pope in Scandal does some truly bad things and is definitely not a conventional hero, and I really like that show. Tyrion and Jaime Lannister in Game of Thrones - great characters in a great show who do plenty of bad things. Will Graham in Hannibal and maybe even Oliver Queen in Arrow also fit the antihero label and I love those shows. (And, as you mentioned, Batman.)<br /><br />But those shows all mix up their tones and pacing and storytelling. It's that cable TV mix of antihero + secret double life + grim tone + slow pace that I just can't take anymore. It makes me feel like scratching my eyeballs out.Tim Kraemerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15228211162790290588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828041471522671543.post-73314966156103644102013-12-20T15:25:44.980-07:002013-12-20T15:25:44.980-07:00Making an anti hero is hard.

Superman (the animated version) works because even though he's a nice guy, he does feel anger rage and guilt, not to mention doubt uncertainty, impulsiveness and even jealousy at times. He just works a lot harder to control it. Having a fundementally nice guy can workAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
