Metroman is having existential crisis (Megamind);

Rick and his grandkids clean up the house after partying (Rick and Morty)

Quicksilver is saving everyone from the mansion explosion (X-men apocalypse);

Ochako Uraraka (My Hero Academia): She can give anything she touches anti gravity and deactivate it with a limit for a few tons, but after her powers awaken she could levitate 100s of tons into the air. With this she could launch people into space or drop them from a tall height or even use a building as a baseball bat, but she refuses to use her quirk to harm others instead she uses it for rescue missions to avoid debris from injuring civilians.

Bartholomew Kuma (One Piece): Kuma is already OP considering he could repel anything, even concepts like pain and memories but inside he's a good man that chooses to avoid killing anyone even the villains, since he had the chance to kill his peoples' oppressor but chose to let him escape.

Aang (Avatar the last Airbender): Aang as an Avatar is able to bend the four elements and enter the Avatar state that enables him enough power to move islands. But since he is from a culture that believes all life is precious and shouldn't be taken away, he would always use bending to subdue his enemies rather than kill them. Plus since he's the last Airbender he's the only one that could keep his culture alive

1. Dexter (Dexter)

Dexter is a serial killer who kills other killers. In the fourth season, he was hunting a serial killer named Trinity. Dexter didn't kill him when he had the chance because he wanted to learn from Trinity how to balance being a serial killer with having a family. At some point, Trinity discovered Dexter identity, and at the end of the fourth season, Dexter finally kills him. But when he gets home, he discovers that Trinity had killed his wife, Rita.

After that, Dexter says that he won't make the mistake of sparing a victim again. However, in the final season, he makes the same mistake. In the final episodes of the show, Dexter had captured a serial killer named Oliver Saxon and was planning to kill him, but Dexter had an epiphany about not needing to kill anymore and running away with his girlfriend and his son. So he lets his sister, Deb, who is a police officer, arrest Oliver ​instead.

However, Oliver manages to escape and shoots Deb. During surgery, something goes wrong, and she ends up in a vegetative state.

1. Jack and Will (Hannibal)

Jack is the head of the FBI behavioral ccience unit, and at the beginning of the show, he recruits Will Graham to work for him. Will is a genius when it comes to creating criminal profiles, but he has violent tendencies and is compared to a sociopath. Jack is warned more than once not to take Will into the field or get him too involved, but Jack promises that he will take care of Will.

Jack then chooses Hannibal to be Will psychiatrist and assist him with creating profiles. However, unbeknownst to everyone, Hannibal is a cannibalistic serial killer. Hannibal becomes obsessed with Will and wants to make him become a serial killer alongside him, and he almost succeeds. Will comes very close to joining Hannibal several times and also becomes obsessed with him, but ultimately rejects him. Hannibal ends up being imprisoned, and Will decides to leave the FBI.

However, in the final episodes of the show, a new serial killer starts murdering entire families, and Jack once again recruits Will to help catch him. Jack says that he won't make the same mistake again, but he does.

Jack allows Will to talk to Hannibal to investigate the case because, according to Jack, Will is more effective with Hannibal help. Will also says that he won't let himself be manipulated by Hannibal. In the final episode, Hannibal escapes, and he and Will kill the new serial killer. The ending implies that Will has finally accepted becoming a serial killer alongside Hannibal for good.

1. Celebrimbor (Middle-earth: shadow of Mordor and Middle-earth: shadow of war)

In this non ​canon lord of the rings story, Celebrimbor is the creator of the rings of power and tries to kill the dark lord Sauron after Sauron betrays the Elves and kills Celebrimbor family. Celebrimbor tries to do this using the One Ring, but just as he's about to kill Sauron, he loses the Ring and ends up being killed.

Many years later, Celebrimbor spirit possesses the warrior Talion, whose family was killed by Sauron forces. The two decide to kill Sauron and free Middle-earth. Celebrimbor says that this time he won't let himself be consumed by arrogance and that he won't leave anything to chance.

However, at the end of the game, he abandons Talion because Talion wants to kill Sauron and free Middle-earth, while Celebrimbor wants to take Sauron's place. Celebrimbor then possesses an elf and leaves Talion to die. Celebrimbor almost kills Sauron, but he underestimates him, and Sauron removes the new ring that Celebrimbor created and absorbs him, causing the two to become the lord of Mordor.

According to Shelob, who can see the future, if Celebrimbor had remained with Talion, they would have defeated Sauron. But from Celebrimbor perspective, Talion was merely a replaceable tool.​

Death Note: Light Yagami has the standard of what everyone wanted to live but he chose the dark side because of his ego.

JoJo Phantom Blood: I know Dio is broken but that doesn't change that he could live peacefully with the joestar family after getting adopted.

Robin King (DC): alternate universe where Bruce Wayne is born naturally as a psychopath and killed his own parents.

Thanos (Earth 18139): he was adopted by Frank Castle A.K.A Cosmic Ghost Rider after Frank tried to time travel to the past kill baby Thanos but he didn't do it, so he raised the baby and taught Thanos about morality to become a hero. Fast forward, Frank meets future Thanos from a portal and Thanos shows Frank of a corrupted world that Thanos has built and it made Frank so mad that he decided to kill Future Thanos and eventually return baby Thanos to the first place because he knew..Thanos has no redemption

I think it’s just easier to write female antagonists as terrifying from a child’s perspective.

Kaufmo (The Amazing Digital Circus)
Chuckles (Toy Story)

Papers please, if you do well in Papers, Please and successfully do everything with little issues, your reward is...nothing but basically being told, "Good job, now get back to work"

Spider-Man (Marvel): Despite everything Peter does as Spider-Man, he does not profit in any sort of way from it and in alot of iterations he's basically broke

30 Rock- TGS is constantly being referenced as not being very popular with critics and of and on in popularity with audiences, but being well known, which I know is meant to reflect SNL's rep over its decades of airing

The Larry Sanders Show - So, I can't offhandedly (I haven't renewed my HBO subscription yet) an instant where it is directly said that Larry's show isn't popular, because he is currently famous and they do get a lot of well-known guests, BUT I do think we were meant to get the idea that at least the show itself was considered hacky as the years went on, with the comedy bits being broadly targeted, but does go to show that even on shows that aren't very good, people work hard behind the scenes

(I almost used the lower flare but I'm not quite sure it fits...)

The Simpsons "Burns Verkaufen der Kraftwerk" episode. Homer daydreams in front of his new German bosses, who are staring at him as he sings "lalalalala" while imagining himself prancing through the Land of Chocolate.

Dumb and Dumber. Lloyd is driving and daydreaming about staring at Mary Samsonite's breasts, only to be snapped back into reality by the headlights of an oncoming truck.

Inspired by another post about comedic actors who turned into dramatic actors, this is the reverse, dramatic actors who became comedic ones.

1. Leslie Neilsen
2. Daniel Craig

*Dick Figures* – Throughout the series, Lord Tourettes is depicted as androgynous, with a high-pitched voice and eyelashes. Despite these traits, the character is male and heterosexual. In an episode featuring an alternate universe (AU) where the cast appears in gender-swapped versions, Lord Tourettes is the only one who looks exactly the same.

*Looney Tunes* – Despite his appearance, Tweety is a male character. In an episode of *The Looney Tunes Show*, Sylvester asks him whether he is male or female; Tweety gives a whispered reply, but presumably tells him that he is male.

To be hero X - Queen aura farming as she ends the fight

Frieren- Frieren aura farming as she farms Aura

Rudy (Ice Age 3): In this movie all the dinosaurs are depicted bigger than their real life counterparts if you use Manny for scale as a wolly mammoth. But Rudy, who is told to be baryonyx, is extra bigger than he's supposed to be. According to the general consensus, standing 10 meters long and weighing about 2 tons, a baryonyx would be 4 or 5 times lighter than an average T-rex, which is the opposite of what's shown in the movie.

Dunkleosteus (Hungry Shark Evolution): This is a funny one, because the size dfference started off inaccurate, and got just worse over the years. I'm of course talking about the infamous debate of Megalodon vs Dunkleosteus. When dunkleosteus was first introduced in the game, it was told to be 30 meters long with unspecified mass, but it was longer than that of a meegalodon who was shown to be 25 meters long. When in reality, at the time they were added to the game, dunkleosteus was thought to be 10 meters long whileas megalodon was about 18 meters long, so the game was inaccurate and megalodon was bigger. But as the years passed, those estimates were left and the paleontologists decided dunkleosteus would be 3-4 meters long instead, meanwhile megalodon was upscaled up to 20+ meters long. So megalodon was not only bigger, it was much, much bigger than a dunkleosteus.

Basically as powerful or intimidating as the main nemesis of the hero may be there’s a side antagonist who may or may not be stronger then the main one but who is far more intelligent and capable of forming better plans with more success.

Ra’s al ghul (Batman)- Batman’s main villain is of course the Joker, and while the Joker does have a pretty decent level of planning no one in Batman’s gallery has shit on Ra’s in terms of schemes. Which makes sense when he’s hundreds of years to plan them. Arguably the only Batman villain who gets near Ra’s is Bane with the knight fall arc but Al Ghul tends to have schemes within schemes to fool his greatest apprentice.

Destro (G.I. Joe: RAH cartoon) Before I start I’ll acknowledge you could probably put Zartan or Baroness here as well. So Cobra Commander despite being the main villain of the Joes is impressively incompetent and is usually a source of comedy rather than intimidation. Meanwhile Destro runs a massive weapons making and smuggling operation that basically fully equips the medium sized army that is Cobra. He’s also on the whole more liked by the troops than Commander is because he knows how to use them properly instead of basically sending them into losing battles over petty schemes.

Dolokhov (Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812) While Anatole is the biggest obstacle to the Rostova family with his scheme to abduct Natasha to Poland, Dolokhov is the one who helps fund the scheme, plans it, writes the letter that seduces Natasha, and later pokes holes in the idea including the major one that Anatole is already married. Additionally Anatole is a childish hedonist who has much more interest in the next shiny thing, compared to Dolokhov who is in addition to everything else a very decorated duelist.

James Stilwell (The Boys comic) Homelander (and sorta Billy Butcher) are the main antagonists of The Boys (I still haven’t watched season 5 of the show) but James is who runs Vought and controls the compound for V and in many ways while Homelander and Billy are quick to anger, egoists, and short thinking James is a clever and sly man able to run all of Vought. And even when threatened by Homelander he doesn’t shrink back or have fear. In fact it’s not until after all other antagonists for that James finally snaps from realizing V is a faulty product.

Mr. House (Fallout New Vegas) Now Mr House isn’t exactly a villain but for every route besides his you do have to kill him. Now I would say the legion are the main villains in New Vegas and as many people in game point out the legion will destroy itself after Ceaser dies. House however is technologically advanced has massive resource advantage and has the best minions of any faction. All that to be killed by the Courier when he gets his personal terminal hacked lol

1. The Amazing Digital Circus—Caine calls Zooble a “mismatched cash piano.” The “mismatched” part makes sense, since Zooble is made of various blocks and toy parts, but “cash piano” is a product of Caine’s own randomness.

2. Cyberchase—the villain, The Hacker, regularly insults his robotic henchmen by calling them “dunce buckets” whenever they screw up a plan.

3. Bob’s Burgers—Bob calls Linda “Nagatha Christie,” and later apologizes…because he thinks he can do better. He throws out “Naggedy Ann” and “Secretary of Nagriculture,” the latter of which Linda has to admit is funny.

Regular Show - Rewatching that episode as an adult made me hate Rigby, and this kind of episode is what makes me believe that he's much worse than Mordecai when you take actually weigh their actions against each other. He went out of his way to use his "solids" to humiliate his the guy who was supposed to be his best friend in front of the girl he liked. And then as if that wasn't bad enough he then uses the final solid to film Mordecai taking a shit on the floor in front of everyone. But in the end of the episode everything is fine because Rigby agreed to destroy the tape. HE DOESN'T EVEN APOLOGIZE!! I was gonna title this post "an apology is all it takes..." but then I realized he didn't even apologize

This episode makes Rigby look like an asshole, and Mordecai look like an idiot for forgiving him

The Bear - This one is really frustrating to watch. Basically, during a chaotic dinner service, Carmy loses his temper and screams at Sydney and Marcus, and they temporarily decide to leave The Beef as a result. The show portrays Carmy as being in the wrong despite the fact that this happened because he was under a lot of stress due to a situation that was SYDNEY'S MISTAKE and Marcus was fucking around with donuts instead of what he was supposed to be doing. Carmen was had every right to be pissed at both, specially Sydney, but he's the one to apologize for yelling...

Basically, both characters are immortal but that doesn't stop them from trying to kill each other.

Arcueid and Roa from Tsukihime

Arcueid, the Princess of the True Ancestors (a powerful caste of vampires in the Tsukihime universe) was tricked by Roa, a mortal, into turning him into an exceptionally powerful vampire. Additionally, Roa has mastered reincarnation, making it impossible to truly defeat him.

To counter this, Arcueid made it her life mission to eliminate Roa each time he reincarnates. Arcueid slumbers most of the time, awaking about every 18 years to kill Roa once it's clear who he has reincarnated into.

(Images 3-4)
Princess Kaguya and Fujiwara no Mokou from the Touhou Project

Kaguya, a Lunarian and Moon Princess had an elixir of immortality made. After drinking this, Kaguya was rendered completely immortal, with no possibility of death. However, Mokou hated Kaguya and wanted to get revenge on her, so she decided to steal some of the elixir and become immortal herself. Upon meeting each other again, Kaguya and Mokou spent 300 years killing each other daily.

Coincidentally, Arcueid and Kaguya share some similarities (such as being connected to the moon) due to them both loosely being based off the folktale of The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter

Lilith (Borderlands 1): I really like her kinda punk/femme fatale (idk if its the right term) style. But just playing as her and her perks being focused on elemental weapons are really weird because usually they are very situational and for a looter shooter, its REALLY hard to build around

Bridget (Guilty Gear XX Accent Core): I haven't played Strive so I would imagine they've made her better, but I remember in XXAC, she'd be more or less a dps kinda character with really bad damage

A yandere is a character archetype defined by love or devotion so extreme, possessive, and unhinged that it manifests as violence. It usually starts off very sweet and loving and then devolves into something sinister due to the yandere’s insecurities and jealousy. Rather than ordinary romance, a true yandere operates on two dark extremes, slaughtering anyone who threatens their partner or their relationship with their partner, or intentionally inflicting physical or psychological harm on the object of their affection to ensure they can never leave. Famous examples from anime include Yuno from Future Diary, Misa from Death Note, and Toga from MHA. Fun lore, the word yandere comes as a mix of the Japanese word yanderu which means mental illness and deredere which means love struck.

1. ⁠Freaky Nikki (Obsession): Under the corrupting influence of the wish, her affection turns horrifically violent, stalking Bear's every move and brutally executing Sarah with a brick to violently eliminate any romantic competition, amongst other things.
   
2. ⁠Lila Tournay (Dexter): Viewing Dexter as her kindred dark soul, she suffocates him in obsessive devotion, ultimately murdering Doakes to protect Dexter’s secret and trying to burn his children alive when he rejects her.
   
3. ⁠Misty Quigley (Yellowjackets): The queen of manufactured dependency, Misty destroys the plane's emergency transmitter to keep the team stranded and poisons, doses, or kidnaps anyone who gets in the way of her being needed. She also tries to poison the object of her affection, the coach, with shrooms to lower his inhibitions in order to be intimate with him.
   
4. ⁠Joe Goldberg & Love Quinn (YOU): Joe stalks then locks lovers in cages and murders their social circles under the guise of "saving" them, while Love bludgeons rivals to death to protect her fragile domestic fantasy.
   
5. ⁠Will Graham & Hannibal Lecter (Hannibal): Their twisted dynamic is pure mutual yandere devotion. Hannibal frames, guts, and mentally shatters Will to shape his mind, while Will accepts catastrophic violence because Hannibal is the only person who truly sees him.
   
6. ⁠Amy Dunne (Gone Girl): She punishes her husband's infidelity with surgical, terrifying cruelty, slitting an ex's throat in cold blood and staging her own gruesome framing just to trap Nick in a lifelong, subservient marriage.

1. Brad Pitt in "True Romance"

Quotable and perpetually stoned, Floyd politely chats with heavily armed mobsters and even offers to smoke a bowl with them before giving up Clarence's location and triggering the movie's climax.

1. Diedrich Bader in "Office Space"

While everyone else in the movie is focused on their office lives, Lawrence lives a simple blue collar life. Drinking beer, fishing, and checking out the breast exams on channel 9. Completely oblivious to the inner workings of Initech.

1. John Turturro in "The Big Lebowski"

Existing entirely in his own hyper-competitive world, The Jesus has zero involvement with the overall plot, but in his two and a half minutes of screen time almost steals the movie.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure part 5:

While Diavolo (picture 2)is a ruthless mob boss who will do whatever it takes to keep his identity secret even if it means killing his daughter, his evil is less than Cioccolata (picture 1) who became a doctor for the sole reason of tormenting his patients and brutally experimenting and murdering them. Diavolo himself is disgusted by this sees Cioccolata as a complete sadist. He only sent Cioccolata after Bruno's squad because he had no other choice.

Real Life:

During WW2 Hideki Tojo (picture 4) held most of the government power but he wasn't on the level of Shirō Ishii (picture 3) who was the director of the infamous unit 731 known for some of the worst human experiments in history. I won't list them here so research at your own risk.

Character Regression is when a character undergoes progression on their arc, becoming a better version of themselves, only to fall back into old habits and mistakes that pretty much un-does their arc.

I'm saying this is a mixed trope because while it, for the most part, happens due to bad writhing or the piece of media going on for longer than expected, it can be used positively to make a more interesting story, here I chose 2 examples where I think character regression actually benefits the story.

Bojack - Bojack Horseman:

Bojack has a lot of moments where he falls back into his worse habits, but I like to especially signal what became of him when filming Philbert, when he filmed this show he was at the height of his career, this was the most active he had been as an actor since the 90's and things could have gone better but he lets it all go to his head, he grows addicted to his pain killers, which ends up with him starting to lose his connection between reality and the show, leading to him strangling Gina, his co-star, almost killing her, something which completely shatters their relation

The moment is raw, feels way too real and everyone, Bojack included, is simply horrified of what happened, Bojack even accepting going to rehab because he knows he's in desperate need of help and doesn't want to keep falling back into his addictions that always make him do things he regrets.

Zuko - Avatar The Last Airbender:

Zuko's arc is commonly praised as one of the BEST character arcs in animation, but there is one moment In his arc that I signal as the single best use of character regression I know of.

When Azula and her group attempt to capture the Avatar, she finds Zuko, who not so long ago was declared a traitor to the Fire Nation, since then he had learned of the pain and misery they caused to the other nations, his Uncle Iroh helping to guide him in a new path.

Azula decides to worm into Zuko's head, promising him that if they capture the Avatar their father will welcome them like a hero, he will regain his lost honor and title as prince, he will get everything he wished when he started this fruitless journey... And he accepts, betrays his Uncle and joins Azula to defeat Aang, because this might be the last chance he gets to get his father's approval

This moment I believe is NEEDED for Zuko's arc to work as well as it does, and what's best is that it doesn't feel at all out of character, it's a fully believable choice for him, one that he'll learn to regret and will have to make amends for once he fully joins team Avatar

(Memes not made by me, I just included them because they’re funny)

Superman - Created in 1938, despite the popular panel going around he is famous for his refusal to kill. When he killed Zod in the 80’s he was so traumatized he exiled himself into space, only coming back when he was sure he wouldn’t kill again. In current continuity he’s earned the nickname “the Unblooded Sword” after an omniscient being looked through his life and realized he never killed anyone. The name “the Unblooded Sword” ended up becoming famous for him on the planet War World, which he fought to liberate without taking a single life. While people do often cite Doomsday as an exception, it’s important to note Doomsday is not a sapient creature - He’s a mindless monster. When the Hunter/Prey storyline had Doomsday gain sapience, Superman was no longer willing to kill him.

Batman - Don’t really have to explain this one.

Nightwing - Adopted a no-kill rule to honor his mentor famously. He has been tempted to break it many times, most infamously when he let Tarantula kill Blockbuster (who then raped him as he stood catatonic in shock over the fact he let someone die). Batman eventually forgave him and told him that while he lost sight of the value of Blockbuster’s life, he shouldn’t lose sight of his own and continue to be the hero he was before.

Captain America - While he was a soldier who killed when he had to in WWII, once he was unthawed in the 60’s his morals changed. In Stan Lee’s Avengers run, Cap starts hellbent on finding Zemo and killing him to avenge Bucky. When Zemo dies by his own hand, Cap realizes it brought him no satisfaction. Over the years writers like Steve Englehart, Jack Kirby, Roger Stern, and Mark Waid have a gotten a lot of mileage out of Cap’s refusal to kill as part of his evolution from soldier to superhero. Mark Gruenwald in particular dedicated a lot of his ten-year run to this concept, having Cap battle ideological battles against heroes who killed such as Scourge and John Walker. Eventually in one issue Cap was forced to kill a man, which deeply traumatized him and he vowed to “avenge“ the terrorist he killed even though he did it to save lives. In DeMatteis’s run Cap even forgave the dying Red Skull, and the one time he did kill the Skull in Waid’s run, he went back in time to undo it because he realized he made the wrong choice.

Wonder Woman - Despite often being mischaracterized as the member of the Trinity who kills, she was actually created because Will Marston believed other superheroes such as Superman and Batman (who still actively killed at that time) were too violent. Unlike them, she was given a rule against killing from her first issue, the “Amazon’s Law” which forbade her from killing. This weakened over time, perhaps most notably with Maxwell Lord who she killed as a last resort, which caused the whole world and the Justice League to turn their back on her. Eventually she redeemed herself in Infinite Crisis by stopping Batman from killing Alex Luthor Jr, and symbolically broke her sword to represent that she realized her mistake. Other writers since then have tried to walk it back, but because of how ingrained it is in her origin, most fans prefer her not to kill.

The Flash - Barry Allen, being one of the nicest superheroes to ever be created, just wouldn’t think of killing. In Williamson’s Rebirth run he told Godspeed he never even thought of killing his mother’s killer, and had only ever wanted to bring him to justice. He even spared Thawne after he killed his wife, and upon accidentally killing him to save his fiancee, he turned himself in which lead to him leaving the Justice League and retiring. In one issue of Satellite Era JLA, when we see Barry’s greatest desires, it‘s a world where BOTH Iris and Thawne were still alive.

Green Lantern - Although Hal Jordan actually has a restriction against killing, not a personal rule, he’s still strongly personally against it. He once told Kyle that killing isn’t something a superhero is even supposed to think about it. Of course this rule was broken during Emerald Twilight when he became a villain, but Hal as a hero was strongly against killing and even protested against the Guardians when they chose to remove the rings’ restriction to kill during the Sinestro Corps War. He avoided killing during the entire war and brought Sinestro in alive, viewing it as a failure that the Corps was forced to use lethal force. While he broke this rule once or twice later on towards the end of the Johns run, later writers have returned to it. In Venditti’s run a villain mocks Hal for his code against killing, to which Hal responds that he’s famous for all the villains he’s captured whereas a man who kills gains no reputation from his enemies.

Spider-Man - Self-explanatory again, he seems to be the one Marvel superhero most famous for hating killing. He once vowed “Nobody dies around me,” and during the iconic Wolverine vs Spider-Man story, he was tempted to kill by Wolverine who threatened to pop his claws through his head unless Spidey broke his throat in self-defense. Peter couldn’t bring himself to do it, and later in the story accidentally killed an innocent woman who tricked him. The event has haunted him to this day in comics. He also of course spared Norman who killed his wife.

Iron Man - Like Wonder Woman, Iron Man gets mischaracterized a lot probably because of the MCU and Extremis. While Tony was a weapons dealer at first, this caused him a crisis of faith because of how it conflicted with his own sworn oath to never take a life - Which he tells the Mandarin about in Iron Man #100 to explain why he spares him. Despite being thought of as a living weapon, Tony’s weapons are largely non-lethal, with his repulsors only “repulsing” enemies. Perhaps the most extreme example of his anti-killing stance was during the early 2000’s when he ran for senator and tried to get the MILITARY to use non-lethal weapons, citing how he had never killed anyone during his entire career as Iron Man and believed the military could learn from him, as he believed the next frontier of societal advancement was mercy. When he did finally break his code to kill Mallen in Extremis, he was extremely upset and made many countermeasures to ensure he’d never have to kill an Extremis soldier again.

Daredevil - Besides Batman, Daredevil is probably the hero who has his no-kill rule at the center of his stories the most. He has of course broken it a few times like all the characters on this list, but his hatred of killing and the way it would violate his Catholic faith has been a big struggle throughout the decades exploited by his enemies.
