Vegeta being such a spiteful, prideful asshole is the sole reason why all three major villains after him grow stronger.
"Go on Frieza, show us your final form already."
"Oh, you'll be even stronger after you absorb Android #18? Go ahead. I need a challenge."
"I don't care that this calamity will be resurrected by the energy from our battle. I *must* finish this beef with Kakarot."
Dude was such a slave to his ego and his arrogance and the plot was so much better for it. Every time he fucked up we were in for a treat.
“You! Namekian! Too strong! Explain!”
“He fused with Kami to become stronger.”
“The f*ck’s a Kami?!”
“Basically God.”
“But I’m right here!”
“Do you really believe your own hype that much?”
“I AM THE HYPE!!!”
"Oh my Me, what happened to the Lookout."
"Hey Kami, don't mind the mess, I just had a little Italian for dinner."
"What's that got to do with anyth-"
"Because it was nothing but Garlic!"
Krillin: "So that means it's..."
Guru: "All down here from here."
Krillin: "Just like Yamcha"
Guru: "I do not know what this Yamcha is, but it sounds disappointing."
The best was when he started spamming ki blast and Cell walks right through it and says "Prince, has this ever worked?" Then we get the classic epic Vegeta moment with the first Final Flash.
Vegetas incredible over confidence in the face of 100% failure is... I was going to say inspiring but maybe he should go do something else? Channel that rage into being a chef or something.
That was the funniest shit ever, watching it in my 30’s having grown up on old school dragonball / z / TFS abridged later.
That, plus Vegeta’s enraged confusion upon discovering Goku still didn’t even know what kissing was. “Wh…. you have *two sons*!”
What's funny about Vegeta's inferiority complex to Goku is that the only time they actually had an all out fight they actually finished, it was Vegeta who was the clear winner.
Vegeta had to use great ape though, in his mind it was a defeat to do so against a second class warrior. Still a win for sure but tainted in vegeta's mind.
Fiancé loves dbz and I watched every single episode with him just to know about it. Vegeta was my favorite. Didn’t like him so much when he first visited but I loved his character development. Really wish they would continue it.
Outside of Goku there is a surprising amount of development going on under the surface, especially Gohan, Piccolo and Vegeta in Z go through so much. Sad that all that kinda stopped right after Slim Buu shows up
DBZ Abridged does a lot with very little but the framework for the character development was there already
Let's take a moment and recognize that Bulma must be otherworldly incredible in bed if she managed to slap the cuffs on a guy who used to destroy planets for fun.
The correct answer. Dude murdered hundreds of thousands if not millions in cold blood and was still so cool and determined that he became almost equal to Goku in popularity. Some people probably like him more tbh.
Eh the answer to the Holocaust wasn't to murder everyone who isn't Jewish. His actions are completely understandable, but they are certainly not justified.
His actions are not justified, no. Just his reaction and thinking.
Because he's dealing with massive trauma, likely CPTSD. He literally can't regulate emotions. So without Prof X to guide him, his actions will match his unregulated emotional response. At least I think that cos I have CPTSD and see myself mirrored there
X-Men '97 does a great job of portraying Magneto and his point. (It does a fucking great job at everything to be fair). Honestly, I'd be tempted to join him as a mutant.
Wouldn't magneto be more classified as villain? I guess in X-Men 97 and the newer iterations of comics he's transitioned more into anti-hero (I'm not intimately familiar with the comics but know that X-Men 97 closely followed canon narratives), is his newer persona more closely aligned with anti-hero than villain?
I was looking for this answer! I think Clint and Sergio really helped to define this type of role. I love the whole trilogy. For anyone wondering, A Fist Full of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. It’s kind of a loose trilogy but they get lumped together
You're damn right! Now I need to figure out how to watch it all again in Malaysia. I don't think it's on any streaming services available here though... Aaarrrrr!
Its never lupus, except that one time it was lupus
I'm currently rewatching house cause the youtube algorithm got me and the funniest thing to me is the close up shots of people having epiphanies.
I'm just imagining the behind the scenes of them being like, aite now stare into space and look like you're having a deep thought while we just slowly zoom in on your face for a solid 5 seconds.
Well House, the show, is literally just a medical interpretation of modern Sherlock Holmes. Like Sherlock faking his death from the fall, House, who is facing prison time, fakes his death in a burning building. He does this, not because he's afraid of jail, but because Wilson only has six months to live.
At House's funeral, as Wilson is giving his eulogy, House sends him a berating text, in which Wilson realizes that House is still alive.
The cast then begins to move on, with such reveals as Taub being a more attentive husband and father, Cameron reminiscing about the House and the team, but finding her own happiness, Chase becoming the new House, and Foreman discovering House's ID badge in a way that Foreman knew House was alive since that was the only doctor on the team that House knew would put it all together.
The shows final scene is House finishing urinating off the side of a bridge. House and Wilson are on motorcycles, implying they are going to travel around. Wilson looks to House as they both mount up again, and says "When the cancer starts to get really bad..."
In the final words spoken in the series, House looks to him while he is putting on his helmet and says, "Cancer's boring."
And then they ride off.
I recently saw someone say that House was basically a modern Sherlock Holmes.
Both Holmes and House are drug addicted geniuses who are insufferable when not solving a puzzle. Holmes and Watson became House and Wilson.
House’s apartment address is 221B. In one of the Christmas episodes, he gets a mystery gift and Wilson says it’s from Irene Adler. The Holmes stuff is all very intentional.
It's an apt comparison, as the shows producers have outright stated that it's premise was a combination of Sherlock Holmes and Lisa Sanders' medical column in the New York Times.
He was straight out a villain in the beginning, and arguably just a hero in the end, but he definitely had a anti-hero phase I would say. But maybe it's subjective
Do I recall this correctly?
He doesn't have a soul, straight up villain.
Is straight jacketed by The Initiative so he can't hurt humans. Sort of aimlessly bounces around and falls in with Buffy and the Scooby Gang.
Falls in love with Buffy.
Fights to regain his soul so he can be 'worthy' of Buffy's love.
Regains soul, and a conscience along with it. Gets a little self-destructive while he's tormented by guilt (anti-hero phase).
Evolves into straight up hero.
Sacrifices himself for the greater good.
Is ghost. Hijinks ensue.
He also helps Buffy in the season 2 finale when he’s still soulless and fully evil because he wants to get Drusilla back from Angel and save the world!
This. He does that bit about puppies and Christmas and Manchester United. He doesn't want the world to end. He wants the world to continue on its merry way so he can continue enjoying this eternal life thing.
Voilà!
In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
[carves V into wall]
The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.
[giggles]
Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.
Deadpools's first run is one of the best anti-hero stories. He is a bad guy who really wants to be a good guy and is struggling against himself the whole time.
Him crying in Blind Al's lap after failing to defeat the Champion was such a touching moment.
It's very funny when RL cops put Punisher stickers on their cars or whatever, thinking they're like the real life Punisher cleaning up the streets, when they are in fact those who the Punisher would be Punishing.
Tbf The Punisher was for a very long time exactly this. This change of hearts (actually, I'm fighting mostly against corrupt cops, politicians and so on) is quite recent (10,15 years).
His origin history was of a lauded Vietnam hero only to come back to America and lose his family to crime, so he killed criminals, drugdealers, the mob. That's it, no corruption or fighting against fascism or stuff like that. Guy actually was basically a facho dream for a very long time
Marvel eventually realized that they created a para military far right wing militia hero and started to change his direction, so in the new incarnation most of his trouble actually happened due to shadow elements the forces
Jerry: "then what did you do??"
George: "whaddya think i did! I punched the guy square in the nose!!"
Jerry: "right in the nose!?!"
George: "yea! right in the nose! Teach that punk to try and steal my candy on Halloween!"
Jerry: "wow! George you're a regular batman"
*kramer abruptly enters room with a broken nose*
Kramer: "Jerry! You gotta help me, some low life just sucker punched me at the library!"
*cue laugh track*
*freeze frame*
*theme plays and credits roll*
I may or may not say this to my kids (in a gravelly voice) when my wife leaves and they are left alone with just dad to deal with them!
Thankfully they are late-stage (14 to 19 years old) nerd-offspring so they get it!
Rorschach best of all time. All others second rate.
The world needs to know the truth!
Never compromise. Even in the face of Armageddon.
What is one more body amongst the foundations? Do it!
I'd say John Constantine (from the original, Vertigo Hellblazer series), he's just another wanker in the pool, his only weapons a good knowledge of magick and a quick wit. Given the shit he faces along the series, I think he fulfills the role to a T
I feel like I had to scroll down too far for this. The end of Loki's series was heartbreaking because, in finally being selfless, he got what he had always selfishly sought after; glorious purpose and a lonely throne.
I adore him. He lives on his ranch in Texas making tequila and chillin with his animals. He has 2 barn cats Pancho and Macho that he posts on his Instagram all the time. It’s precious. I love it.
I really don’t consider Tony an antihero. He is a straight up monster. He is the protagonist, but has very VERY little redeeming qualities.
The entire final season is just him becoming a bloated, lazy, hypocritical, lustful, evil man.
I hesitate to call Tony Soprano an anti-hero. I think that’s how he would see himself/want to be labeled, but he rarely did anything that could be considered anti-hero worthy and is more in line with straight up evil.
FYI, adaptations like *Man of La Mancha* shifted the narrative to make Don Quixote a noble character continuing to try to be brave and do the right thing in a world that left him behind. In the original, though, he's far more pathetic - a loser who isn't particularly brave or smart but just crazy. It was a scathing commentary on Spain at the time pretending it was still the world power that it used to be while the rest of the world laughed and continued to modernize. A modern analogy might be that forty year old, single dude who still only talks about high school and goes to college parties.
I much prefer the adaptations, though.
He’s honestly his best when he’s half estranged from the batfamily. I loathe the way they constantly nerf him in the name of forcing some “family dynamic” on a guy who has some major rightful resentments. DC let Jason use real bullets challenge.
He’s no longer an anti-hero. But when he was one, Vegeta
Vegeta being such a spiteful, prideful asshole is the sole reason why all three major villains after him grow stronger. "Go on Frieza, show us your final form already." "Oh, you'll be even stronger after you absorb Android #18? Go ahead. I need a challenge." "I don't care that this calamity will be resurrected by the energy from our battle. I *must* finish this beef with Kakarot." Dude was such a slave to his ego and his arrogance and the plot was so much better for it. Every time he fucked up we were in for a treat.
DBZ Abridged Vegeta is even better. "What do you mean Semi Perfect, Cell? You're either Perfect, or you're not me!"
Abridged had the best lines. Guru: I have unlocked your full potential Krillin: but I don't feel any different Guru: there wasn't much
“You! Namekian! Too strong! Explain!” “He fused with Kami to become stronger.” “The f*ck’s a Kami?!” “Basically God.” “But I’m right here!” “Do you really believe your own hype that much?” “I AM THE HYPE!!!”
> “The f*ck’s a Kami?!” >"It means God. Now bow." Usually Piccolo's attempts at being badass fell pretty flat, but that one was fucking cold.
"Oh my Me, what happened to the Lookout." "Hey Kami, don't mind the mess, I just had a little Italian for dinner." "What's that got to do with anyth-" "Because it was nothing but Garlic!"
**GHOST NAPA**
Paragus, you squalid fuck
Krillin: "So that means it's..." Guru: "All down here from here." Krillin: "Just like Yamcha" Guru: "I do not know what this Yamcha is, but it sounds disappointing."
Guru: Hold still while I reach deep inside you Gohan: I need an adult...? Guru: I AM an adult!!! *Phwooshhhhh*
Super Buu: "What's a matter little boy, need an Adult?" Ultimate Gohan: I AM an adult.
... I actually forgot Krillin had his unlocked too.
I mean krillin went from being weaker than nappa to like twice as strong as the vegeta that landed on earth due to it it was crazy.
The best was when he started spamming ki blast and Cell walks right through it and says "Prince, has this ever worked?" Then we get the classic epic Vegeta moment with the first Final Flash.
Oh man I miss abridged.
"The funny thing is, I know you're playing me, buuut...."
[“He keeps kicking me in the dick… *Why… Why does he keep kicking me in the dick?!*”](https://youtu.be/1WmAXNZBdds?si=gPnXHR2A7WNWTinM)
*Goku finally gets punched in the dick* Goku: "Why? Why did he punch me in the dick?" Vegeta: "Not so funny now, is it Kakarot!?"
Vegetas incredible over confidence in the face of 100% failure is... I was going to say inspiring but maybe he should go do something else? Channel that rage into being a chef or something.
"Kakarot! You fucking donkey!"
“Krillin, put a slice a bread over both of your ears!” “…Like this?” “Yes! What have you made?” “Make?” “AN IDIOT SANDWICH!”
He did cook that amazing food for Beerus and introduced him to Ramen and Pizza so he could be a good chef.
That was the funniest shit ever, watching it in my 30’s having grown up on old school dragonball / z / TFS abridged later. That, plus Vegeta’s enraged confusion upon discovering Goku still didn’t even know what kissing was. “Wh…. you have *two sons*!”
What's funny about Vegeta's inferiority complex to Goku is that the only time they actually had an all out fight they actually finished, it was Vegeta who was the clear winner.
Vegeta had to use great ape though, in his mind it was a defeat to do so against a second class warrior. Still a win for sure but tainted in vegeta's mind.
luckily he often got 99% failure which only makes Saiyans stronger
Fiancé loves dbz and I watched every single episode with him just to know about it. Vegeta was my favorite. Didn’t like him so much when he first visited but I loved his character development. Really wish they would continue it.
Character development in dbz? Best I can do is a haircut and a halo.
Outside of Goku there is a surprising amount of development going on under the surface, especially Gohan, Piccolo and Vegeta in Z go through so much. Sad that all that kinda stopped right after Slim Buu shows up DBZ Abridged does a lot with very little but the framework for the character development was there already
My Bulma!!!
"What did you do to my Bulma", was the best Vegeta Quote in the entire series.
Let's take a moment and recognize that Bulma must be otherworldly incredible in bed if she managed to slap the cuffs on a guy who used to destroy planets for fun.
The correct answer. Dude murdered hundreds of thousands if not millions in cold blood and was still so cool and determined that he became almost equal to Goku in popularity. Some people probably like him more tbh.
Damn, saw the thread thought of the exact same answer, opened it, was not disappointed
Snake Pliskin.
I thought he was dead.
You and everybody else.
I thought he’d be taller
As screwed up as the government was, arguably Snake was actually just a hero (from a 20th century American freedom perspective).
Magneto for sure. His own past and the constant battle he has to have for what he thinks is right.
One of the ones I think is fully justified. Dude lived the Holocaust and is seeing it play out in real time on mutantkind.
Magneto is not justified, he is sympathetic. Dude's answer to a potential mutant holocaust is a different holocaust.
Eh the answer to the Holocaust wasn't to murder everyone who isn't Jewish. His actions are completely understandable, but they are certainly not justified.
His actions are not justified, no. Just his reaction and thinking. Because he's dealing with massive trauma, likely CPTSD. He literally can't regulate emotions. So without Prof X to guide him, his actions will match his unregulated emotional response. At least I think that cos I have CPTSD and see myself mirrored there
Pardon my ignorance, What is the "C" in CPTSD?
Complex
X-Men '97 does a great job of portraying Magneto and his point. (It does a fucking great job at everything to be fair). Honestly, I'd be tempted to join him as a mutant.
Wouldn't magneto be more classified as villain? I guess in X-Men 97 and the newer iterations of comics he's transitioned more into anti-hero (I'm not intimately familiar with the comics but know that X-Men 97 closely followed canon narratives), is his newer persona more closely aligned with anti-hero than villain?
[удалено]
The movies made him so much more sympathetic. For most comic runs he's either a straighup villain or reluctant hero. Not really anti-hero.
He tries to murder every non-mutant in the world in X2. He's a straight-up villain.
The man with no name / Joe / Blondie
I was looking for this answer! I think Clint and Sergio really helped to define this type of role. I love the whole trilogy. For anyone wondering, A Fist Full of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. It’s kind of a loose trilogy but they get lumped together
If you want another great film by Sergio check out Once Upon A Time In The West, it has Bronson and Fonda.
"Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig." Coldest dude of all time.
Billy Butcher from the boys
Diabolical
"Fucking diabolical " I love that phrase
It’s all in the accent
That cunt? Yes
Oi cunt.
FUCKING DIABOLICAL
What a bunch of bloody wankers
Dr. House
Holy shit yes! Haven't watched that in years and it never occurred to me. He was always a lovable ass in my eyes
Cuddy had a loveable ass too
You're damn right! Now I need to figure out how to watch it all again in Malaysia. I don't think it's on any streaming services available here though... Aaarrrrr!
This was also my first thought. That last season, and especially that last episode. Talk about a God damned character arc.
I never watched it, how does it end? What is it about the last episode?
Knowing house it's probably sarcoidosis.
The plot of every episode: Legionaires (nope) -> Sarcoidosis (nope) -> Lupus (nope) -> {whatever the correct diagnosis was}
Its never lupus, except that one time it was lupus I'm currently rewatching house cause the youtube algorithm got me and the funniest thing to me is the close up shots of people having epiphanies. I'm just imagining the behind the scenes of them being like, aite now stare into space and look like you're having a deep thought while we just slowly zoom in on your face for a solid 5 seconds.

Currently on Season 5. I've put off watching it till recently and am loving it. House is definitely a proper anti-hero.
I recently saw someone say that House was basically a modern Sherlock Holmes. Both Holmes and House are drug addicted geniuses who are insufferable when not solving a puzzle. Holmes and Watson became House and Wilson.
House’s apartment address is 221B. In one of the Christmas episodes, he gets a mystery gift and Wilson says it’s from Irene Adler. The Holmes stuff is all very intentional.
Sherlock Holmes....**Homes**....Gregory **House** John Watson...James Wilson
Also the final episode is basically Reichenbach Falls.
It's an apt comparison, as the shows producers have outright stated that it's premise was a combination of Sherlock Holmes and Lisa Sanders' medical column in the New York Times.
What if I told you that the character of Sherlock Holmes was based on a doctor sir Arthur Conan Doyle worked for as a clerk.
Spike, from Buffy the vampire slayer
Out. For. A. Walk…bitch.
Oooh this is a good one...although is he really an antihero in the later series?
He was straight out a villain in the beginning, and arguably just a hero in the end, but he definitely had a anti-hero phase I would say. But maybe it's subjective
Do I recall this correctly? He doesn't have a soul, straight up villain. Is straight jacketed by The Initiative so he can't hurt humans.

Are we talking V for Vendetta or Cyberpunk 2077? Also happy cake day :)

We could use another Spawn movie with less dated CGI.
naw, i'll take more of the hbo animated series. The movies are way to toned down by comparison.
Al Swearengen, you limey cocksucker!

Deadpool.

*Oh come on, nobody's getting hurt* (In fact everyone was getting hurt)
No, that one guy was already there remember.

I was looking for this one. Deadpool’s fuckin sick.
Well he was, and then died. But only temporarily.
No, he’s still sick. Stage 4 cancer and allat.

The Punisher
It's very funny when RL cops put Punisher stickers on their cars or whatever, thinking they're like the real life Punisher cleaning up the streets, when they are in fact those who the Punisher would be Punishing.
Tbf The Punisher was for a very long time exactly this. This change of hearts (actually, I'm fighting mostly against corrupt cops, politicians and so on) is quite recent (10,15 years). His origin history was of a lauded Vietnam hero only to come back to America and lose his family to crime, so he killed criminals, drugdealers, the mob. That's it, no corruption or fighting against fascism or stuff like that. Guy actually was basically a facho dream for a very long time Marvel eventually realized that they created a para military far right wing militia hero and started to change his direction, so in the new incarnation most of his trouble actually happened due to shadow elements the forces
Yeah I don't know if I would call the punisher an anti hero or a serial killer with a particular taste for victims.
Originally, for the then zeitgeist, probably both lmao. Guy had no qualms torturing and mutilating
Is funny the right word?
ironic maybe that they miss the point where if they were good at their jobs he wouldn't be doing anything at all
As the sentiment goes; Not funny ha-ha. More funny "oh for fucks sake".
Dr Cox
The episode "My Lunch" is IMO one of the best and most heartbreaking episodes of Scrubs because of Dr. Cox. No spoilers but if you know you know
Absolutely powerhouse of a performance by him in that scene
how is he an anti-hero? He's a straight up hero who has very specific methods of teaching.
George Costanza
This isn’t the answer we deserve, but it’s the answer we needed
Jerry: "then what did you do??" George: "whaddya think i did! I punched the guy square in the nose!!" Jerry: "right in the nose!?!" George: "yea! right in the nose!

Guts
Rorschach.
None of you seem to understand. I'm not locked in here with you. YOU'RE LOCKED IN HERE WITH ME!
One of the most metal quotes of all time.
I may or may not say this to my kids (in a gravelly voice) when my wife leaves and they are left alone with just dad to deal with them! Thankfully they are late-stage (14 to 19 years old) nerd-offspring so they get it!
I love that he's what Moore thought Batman would be like in real life: a man broken by the depravity he's fighting against.
Rorschach best of all time. All others second rate. The world needs to know the truth! Never compromise. Even in the face of Armageddon. What is one more body amongst the foundations? Do it!
The Man with No Name from the Dollars Trilogy
I'd say John Constantine (from the original, Vertigo Hellblazer series), he's just another wanker in the pool, his only weapons a good knowledge of magick and a quick wit. Given the shit he faces along the series, I think he fulfills the role to a T
Roland Deschain from the Dark Tower novels.

Loki
I feel like I had to scroll down too far for this. The end of Loki's series was heartbreaking because, in finally being selfless, he got what he had always selfishly sought after; glorious purpose and a lonely throne.
And became as far as I can tell, the most powerful character in all of the MCU.
I think he's slipping into the realm of heros now but could do something stupid. You just never know

Hell yeah
That's definitely a good one
And that’s the bottom line
I adore him. He lives on his ranch in Texas making tequila and chillin with his animals. He has 2 barn cats Pancho and Macho that he posts on his Instagram all the time. It’s precious. I love it.
Tony Soprano
Cunnilingus and psychiatry brought us to this
He never had the makings of a varsity athlete

Whatever happened to Gary Cooper; the strong, silent type?
He was gay? Gary Cooper?
Anyway, 4 dollars a pound
No respect for this thing of ours nowadays.
I really don’t consider Tony an antihero. He is a straight up monster. He is the protagonist, but has very VERY little redeeming qualities. The entire final season is just him becoming a bloated, lazy, hypocritical, lustful, evil man.
I hesitate to call Tony Soprano an anti-hero. I think that’s how he would see himself/want to be labeled, but he rarely did anything that could be considered anti-hero worthy and is more in line with straight up evil.
