Charlie Alder facts. I loved his story. I loved getting the pieces of the Templar and everything growing my members lmao then I switched to Conor got super sad
@@TehThxsis connor was ok to, but his story was just: where is Charles lee. The only part where connor feeled human was in the liberation missions, templar hunt missions, the homestead missions and the sequence with haytham kenway
Sub-Zero still killed Scorpion though, even if he didn't kill his clan (which was Quan Chi in disguise yes). Sub-Zero and Hanzo (Scorpion) clashed in the Himalayas looking for a scroll that Quan Chi had sent them after...due to the fact Hanzo had no powers when he was human (no fire or anything) he was easily killed by the naturally gifted Sub Zero. When Scorpion returned from the Netherealm he thought Sub-Zero n the Lin Kuei had killed his people so he vowed to kill Sub-Zero and his people....he mortally wounded a close friend of Sub-Zero's called Hydro and then in the first tournament he killed Sub-Zero. The incident with Hydro though has never been made canon in the games...only in the comics...Hydro was a close friend of Sub-Zero (Bi Han) and after Scorpino mortally wounded him he was placed in stasis by the Lin Kuei and later used for the Cyber Initiative...becoming the first ninja of four.
Not trying to get attention. Just stating how it is. Don't get me wrong, i love how stupid it is, and i wouldn't want it any other way. Netherrealm has clearly kinda embraced the stupidity with 9 and x, and that's a reason why those story modes are so great.
what is stupid is games that look so good but you can't play them because they are designed poorly (cough star wars battlefront 2 cough) or (cough SF V cough) oh I have another one...what is stupid is games that are purely online...yeah and they don't even tell you that until AFTER u buy them...like seriously...have u ever looked on Amazon...games like destiny are 100% online yet there is no warnings...or even if there was the very idea is stupid "oh thanks u for the $50 how about another 10 a month just to play it online now...yeah fu£$ off. that is stupid...what u call stupid is just having a laugh at something u just like...kind of pointless.
You know Andrew Ryan from BioShok? The biggest twist to me is that Andrew Ryan isn't the psycho he seems to be. He makes it clear that he is trying to kill you only because you are there to kill him and steal his city which of course is crazy until later you discover that in fact is 100% of the reason you are there. So that delusional bastard who has been trying to kill you the entire game under the paranoid belief that it was just self defence was right all along. Secondly the idea that Ryan just went mad with power is based on the word of the guy who lies to you non stop through the course of the game. 99% of the time Ryan, only took extreme measures because he was at war. However he still did occasionally cross the line. Such as having some woman murdered because she did some sort of anti Ryan song or something at a point quite late in the story where Ryan just didn't have any patients left in him. I suppose the equivalent of that Stephen Fry, bit from V for Vendetta.
Elephants Are Cool bioshock is the man among children. If you look at all these games they are child play, bioshock is so much more. The only complaint I've heard is from idiots who didn't understand it
yeah and he sure didnt want it to turn that way. but he didnt realize the life quality difference between the successful and the workers who build the place. but it always backfires when someone is trying to create an utopia.
The problem is, Ryan turned his back on all the principles Rapture was founded on the moment his power was threatened. Free speech, freedom of expression, free market enterprise, all of that disappeared once he realized he'd been out- maneuvered by Fontaine. He only wanted a capitalist's paradise so long as he was in charge of it. In the end, he was no better than any two-bit banana republic despot.
Honestly, whether or not you choose "D-D-D" like the Western pronunciation, or "Day-Day-Day" like the Eastern is completely up to you, I don't care. But who the F****** IS DAYADI!
How about Kesler, from Infamous. Sure he pulled some classic bad guy moves. But he did all of it to forge you into the hero he refused to be and stop the monster that he couldn't.
I want Cole back! I didn't like Delsin Rowe all that much. Don't even get me started on how non-sensical Evil Delsin was.......Cole was great in all aspects and I even remember how badass and creepy evil Cole was.
I think Director Augustine from the DUP in Second Son will also turn out to be right. I don't think conduits and regular people can live together properly, because it only takes one bad conduit to go out and destroy something before the mobs and militias break out, other conduits fight those mobs or abuse their powers, people get scared, the military comes in and commits conduit genocide, and things go to heck again. To be honest, if there is ever another infamous game... it means Augustine was right😂 Sure she was a bit harsh, but in the end the idea of a separate sanctuary for conduits which keeps them safe from normals and normals safe from them is probably the best plan. Was Kurden Kay that sanctuary... not really, but we still don't know what Augustine intended to do to change it in the future, since she seemed to have bigger plans than a prison. I felt kind of wrong destroying the DUP in the game. After Augustine explained what her end goal was, he back story, and what she's trying to do, and if gotten her powers, I just wanted to take her up on her offer to join and help out... releasing hundreds of unpredictable conduits and creating anarchy is a terrible plan for keeping people safe and ending the fear of conduits.
Because segregation worked out so well for early America. It's one thing to want to keep people safe, it's quite another to make "Bio-Terrorists" the new "N" word. People can't control the fact that they were a conduit any more that you can control the color of your skin. The DUP had a good idea but Augustine basically turned it into Nazi Germany, with her as Hitler. I'm not just saying that, they share a lot of similarities, to many to be a coincidence. They both took control and lead there people out of squalor and obscurity, and made them into one of the most successful organizations in the world. They both did a lot of good for the people before going nuts on minorities. And they were both members of the race that they shunned. As I stated earlier the DUP had best of intentions, but when dealing with racial segregation it becomes WAY to easy to let things get out of hand. That is the situation that we saw in Infamous Second Son.the world that Augustine created forced people to look at conduits as just there powers. This caused people to loose site of the fact that most of them just want to live a normal life. Almost all of these people didn't even know that they were Conduits until they were taken by the DUP, and probably never would have awakened there powers. Only now they have to live there lives in fear of persecution, abuse, and quite possibly killings, by the "Normal" people. All because of one tinny gene that they had no choice over. I'm sure at least one real life race group can relate to that. "Those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it."-George Santayana-
Whether or not Loghain did the right thing at Ostagar is a debate that will last until the end of time. It's the OTHER stuff he did over the course of the game (taking up with Arl Howe, framing and outlawing the Grey Wardens, poisoning Arl Eamon, selling a bunch of alienage elves into slavery, backing Uldred's revolt at the Circle tower, throwing the entire country into civil war) that cement him as a bad guy.
William Edward absolutely, he's even admitted that he was really trying to stop an imaginary invasion from Orlais, and believed the darkspawn to be a lesser issue, convinced that the Grey Wardens were Orlesian spies attempting the grasp power and destabilize Ferelden. At best he accidentally saved Ferelden from his ridiculously "brave" son-in-law's suicidal "blaze of glory" plan. soo....... nobody wins
You good sir, are right on the money! It didn't help he turned away the Orlesian Grey Wardens, due to being paranoid and having a massive grudge against Orlais and believe the fifth blight wasn't happening
SerjianDragonrain However, if you play "Return to Ostagar" with him in the party, it turns out he was partially correct (Orlesians WERE planing on taking over, just through marriage and not war), he didn't have knowledge of deep grey warden rituals and so Duncan telling him "he felt the Archdemon" felt like a crappy excuse to him. Plus Ostagar was lost anyway. Look at the battle's cut-scene: troops standing OUTSIDE the fortifications? Archers firing only twice before being orders to CHARGE!? A zerg-rush plan for an enemy that has only numbers and no other tactic? Calian's play was a fuck-up start to finish.
khosrow zare This is true, however i have already acknowledged that Cailans plan was at best suicidal. The outlawing of the Grey Wardens however, was the thing that got me. Literally ages past have proven that the Grey Wardens are an absolute necessity when dealing with a blight, yet when it comes down to it, he'd rather give in to his paranoia of the Orlesians, than to admit that it'd be safer to keep them around. (So much for erring on the side of caution.) In the end the man would rather doom the world and destroy all civilization, rather than even think of sacrificing his ideals. Really, would being conquered by the Orlesians really be worse than the end of the world? Selfish
Can't say I've ever heard "Dedede" mispronounced quite like that before. I'll give you guys this: You can't pronounce names for shit, but at least you mispronounce them in interesting ways.
Handsome Jack. Man begins by finding out about the vaults, and when he goes for one, the Dahl corporation attacks and (pun intended) jacks everything up. Jack then sends his Vault Hunters to the moon to stop them before Dahl uses the Hyperion superlaser to destroy the moon. When he succeeds with that, three of his allies betray him, marking his "times betrayed this month" count up to five. When he managed to get to the vault despite this, he learns that Pandora has another vault that can unleash a giant monster to eradicate as he would see fit. As Pandora is mostly bandits and ways to get eaten by monsters, he goes for it, but more than a little insane due to all the things he knows about the vaults that were projected directly into his brain, interrupted by a sucker punch for the ages, and being extremely pissed at the people he trusted who tried to suck him into a back hole.

I always think Pagan as a good guy. The brother and sister who you do missions for, are both actually worse than Pagan. One is war hungry, and the other is a fanatic.
@@SomeGuyWithABlueMask Yeah, Pagan Min has always been my favourite Far Cry "villain" because he isn't that much of a villain. Throughout the game, he doesn't try to harm you, since you're like his step-son. He is also better than any of the Golden Path members.
Handsome Jack from borderlands only became what he was because of the actions of the 'heros' and therefore wanted to kill them, which is fair enough if you ask me.
+YaBoi ToasterVivid actually, if you play BL 2, you learn that he orchestrated BOTH games, by using Angel/the voice in their heads..his daughter that he imprisoned...all so he could remake the world as HE wanted...hell he even (after her usefulness was done) tried to kill his own daughter.
Mordred86 that the main character was being manipulated and actually had no choice in what he was doing. (He wasn’t so right about how to lead an underwater city though)
A good description of Revolver Ocelot: "By the time you've completed MGS4, you'll realize that the Metal Gear series is the story of two competing chessmasters, both of whom are Ocelot."
Sub-Zero did not kill Scorpion or his clan, that was Quan Chi, also how was Scorpion right all along? Your list started close to the title and then just fucked it all up by the end.
Terrance S Scorpion believed that it was Bi Han who killed his family, so in his head he was right, Quan Chi just lied to control him. His actions were not correct indeed but they were for him.
Augusto Gama the guy in the video did not specify any of that. in fact he said "scorpion had a change of heart and helped the younger brother of his families murder after he killed him" yet he failed to put any why in any if this. its like he read half the story and thought that was it
The elder Sub Zero, Bi Han/Noob Saibot, killed Scorpion in the events of Mortal Kombat Mythologies, which is still canon even in the new timeline as referenced by Raiden in MK9. That said, within the actual playthrough you can choose to spare Scorpion.
Magus from Chrono Trigger. You spend most of the game thinking his goal was to summon Lavos only to find out he wanted to do so in order to fight and destroy it.
donkey kong? he was being a asshole to Mario because mario tortured him and his son, pretty dark for hardcore Mario fans edit: and sal marcano from mafia 3, he killed sammy, ellis and danny and made his family the most dangerous in bordeaux because he thought that if everyone feared his family, his son will not get killed
There's a bit in Inquisition that really explains how that looked from Loghain's perspective. The Warden was late lighting the beacon, the battle was already lost. He withdrew to save his men. Even looking at the timing of it all in the cutscenes, it really really looks like that even if Loghain had charged in as planned, Cailan would have been dead by the time his forces got there. The only thing he would have accomplished was getting himself and his men killed alongside their king.
Sacrifice is a strong word. Loghain gets a bad rap, mostly because circumstances pit the two of you on different sides and your side is incredibly biased (and not altogether intelligent). What people tend to forget is Loghain repeatedly tried to keep the king from participating in the battle, that it was a major source of contention prior to the battle, and that the signal fire to launch the reinforcements came extremely late, when the battle had been all but decided.
Loghain blamed the wardens for killing the king (he even tortured a warden who came to help), he is also best friends with the asshole who kills the human noble's family.
Loghain was a war hero that felt paranoid about letting the french back in the land (forgot the name). so he decided to kill the king and let Ferelden fix the problem.
Why not Daud from Dishonored? In the DLC you see that he actually saved emily at the last, and in the base game you can see him facing massive regret for killing the Empress.
Dutch out of Red dead redemption is a good one sure he was evil but to the end he says when I'm gone they will just find another monster.. then they kill you so he was kinda right in a way
Actually Logan from Fable 3 wasn't right because there was no need to become evil in order to save everyone. I saved everyone by buying every house, renting them out for the lowest possible rent, waiting for the rent, putting the money in the castle's treasure room after I became king and not rushing through the story. Oh, and I also kept all my promises. There's no real time limit even though they tell you that there is one. I still let him live because he's my brother and he had good intentions for what he did even though he did everything wrong. And he telling me that I'm the better king at the end was the best reward he could give me.
The way the Fireflies acted kind of made them look like the enemy in the end. All of the unwarranted assault on Joel, such as when he tries to resuscitate Ellie, and when Joel wants to see her before the operation, perhaps to say goodbye to her. But of course because of being pushed by that one firefly with a gun pointed at you, doesn't really make you think they are the true saviors.
What the hell are you talking about?? He only wants her to live because A: the inseparable bond they have. B: Joel lost his daughter and Ellie reminds him of her. He wants to protect her. The only person who was as you say, "a pedo in love" was the character known as David, who acts just like one. He starts off as friendly, he then kidnaps her, makes his intentions known by saying to her that she's "special", tries to kill her several times because she refuses and he of course takes a lot of pleasure in kicking her and suffocating her. Have you actually played the game? If you did, you wouldn't be saying such crap.
Hat Man I think the point was that no matter how beautiful their relationship was, Ellie should have died to save mankind, and Joel was being understandingly selfish
inseperable bond?? bro ellie was tired of joel by the end and just wanted to fulfill her purpose. joel was the only one imagining some unbreakable bond and forgetting the whole reason they were together.
Loghain was evil, pure and simple. You tried to make him sound like Logan from Fable 3, which is incredibly wrong. Loghain fucking SMILED as the king and the Grey Wardens were being SLAUGHTERED. All Loghain cared about was being in charge, he never thought the Darkspawn were a real threat (hint hint THEY ARE). All he wanted to do was get rid of all the dissidants that didn't want him in power. Logan in Fable 3 really was being the 'bad guy' because it was the only way to save as many people as possible. He was actually happy when the player kicks him out, because it meant he didn't have to be the one making the tough decisions anymore. At least, I think that's what it was, I haven't played it in years xD Well, you got Logan right, but not Loghain, lol. I felt so bad for Saren, actually, as well.
You lost it at 'being in charge'. There is a far more informed and interesting discussion on Loghain up at the top - yours, by comparison, is nonsensical hate.
no Ethan Cha and augustfire are right he was an asshat who didnt sliek someone and so not only caused a civil war, but nearly the destruction of the place he SAID he was protecting, not to mention the entire world
HJWalker true, Sam could have just helped Rafe get the treasure and get his share. Could have even persuaded Rafe to bring in Nate, sayin that he needed help
Nah, Rafe may have been played by Sam on the grander scheme of things but considering all the shit he did throughout the narrative in U4 he clearly have a superiority complex. Rafe was rather unstable even in his re-introduction at the auction house while he conversed with Sully. He would have hurt everyone just to claim the treasure as his own far as how he was written and Nadine Ross was brilliantly written as his "co-opposite". Rafe went through the extremes he did to get to the treasure compared to Nadine who was willing to admit her "limits". Sam may have been the catalyst in Rafe's madness/ continued obsession on Avery's treasure but as Rafe said; "I'm not going to be able to enjoy... one of these coins... knowing that you and your worthless brother are still sucking air.". All before continuing to throw a rant about how Drake's exploit overshadow his own achievement going as far as shooting a man who remarked Drake as a Legend for the aforementioned exploits. That and how he pretty much looked down on every single character in the Drake family before the sword fight ensued. Sure we can pin the blame at Sam as well but do note on how Rafe treats Nadine throughout the game, it's clear that he sees it as Nadine works for him instead of with him despite his claims as it being the latter at the auction house. Won't be so far fetched to assume the same treatment is why Sam bailed out after bidding his time for 2 years working "with" Rafe before he skedaddled and found his little brother. I.e. Rafe's as much to blame for all the chaos he created as he would have without the Drakes' involvement far as the narrative direction portrayed him. Sam only further established Rafe's status as a(n incredibly well written) villain and he sure as hell ain't no "anti-hero".
Loghain was definitely not right. His actions are purely treacherous, motivated by his fear of Orlais reconquering Ferelden, and his misguided notion that the Grey Wardens are not necessary to end the blight. Ironically, if he had succeeded in assassinating Alistair and the Warden, Ferelden would have been destroyed by the Blight, and Orlais would have been forced to intervene in order to save themselves. If anything, Loghain is still fighting the war he and Maric already won, not the war in front of him.
That's what I can't stand about Loghain fanboys. "Hey, he had a couple of good points, so lets just ignore the dozen or so atrocities he commited in his power play for the throne, including the ones that had nothing to do with fighting the Orlecians"
In Return to Ostragar, you get a glimpse of him believing that Cailan was going to turf his daughter for the Orlesian Queen and she would take over Ferelden through marriage. In a later book which is about said Queen, it is outright mentioned that this was her plan. So his paranoia wasn't entirely unjustified - he just incorrectly conflated the Ferelden Grey Wardens (which were, initially, led by Orlesians) as part of that conspiracy even though they were led by Fereldens by the time of the game. I'm not saying that makes him right - a lot of his actions were completely unnecessary and more than a little evil for not really obvious reasons - but his paranoia about Orlais was not entirely unjustified.
The list is pretty much people who were intentionally presented as morally debateable (Marlene in TLoU)or doing obviously wrong things under delusions (Saren in ME). Yep, it's another WhatCulture video that fails to even remotely match the title. I mean, seriously, how was Saren at all "right all along?" The whole alternate boss fight is about convincing him that he was really WRONG the whole time. Yes, he was "indoctrinated" to some extent, but being tricked isn't the same as being "right."
If we needed a Mass Effect villain on the list the Illusive man would've been the better choice. For all I am concerned, the ending where you do what he wants (controlling the Reapers) is the best ending of them all.
I think their point with Saren was that even when Indoctrinated, he was trying to save lives. basically Saren was the original games version the the Synthesis option in 3. and frankly, when you play the series, he WAS right. there was pretty much no way in hell to beat the Reapers. even the Catalyst couldn't actually do anything to them without Shepard, and only becuase he's like 50% machine through the last 2 games.
I think their point was the one they tried to make in the video. Yours is better, but I still disagree. Bioware writing themselves into a corner with the Reapers doesn't validate Saren's actions, it merely apologizes for them. Honestly, the whole "indoctrination" brainwashing thing really clouds the issue of how much of Saren's behavior was Saren himself and how much was Sovereign. Regardless, whatever free will Saren did have was still spent traveling the galaxy murdering those he'd sworn to protect to get in good with the genocidal conquerors, just because they scared him. And he not only told no one, he took steps to hide the evidence of the Reapers. He was arrogant enough to believe that the Reapers cared enough about what HE did that they would spare some if he played along, but if he didn't they'd kill everyone. That is mind-blowing hubris. And sure enough, Shepard and friends found a way to resolve the Reaper scenario in the end (albeit with a trademark sci fi/ fantasy story-ending deus ex machina). In summary, he was mind-controlled, he betrayed those that put their trust in him, he fought side by side with the enemies of the galaxy, he himself realized he had been a fool and killed himself for it, and the series ending proved that the Reapers could be stopped. Any way you slice it, Saren was wrong.
jroggs85 Its a bad list. Anyone intelligent for example knows Joel is obviously a hero for example (if a dark one like Batman and Mad Max) not a villain at all and Rider White was just a delusional idiot definitely wrong in every way.
Logan from Dragon Age too, that Guy was thinking that the Gray Wardens arent neccessary. He thought all can be resolved with him as a leader and a normal army behind him. Would thay didnt loose the first fight, they could have protected countless people and after the big group of them is defeated the gray wardens could go an hunt the leader of the enemy maybe they would have send someone to bring all groups to the army and send them to the other front basically Logan was an idiot who only thought he is better as all others and it would be a wise decision to kill all gray wardens because he didnt believe the existenz of the archdemon (who can only be slain through a gray warden) if not the player survived all would be dead .... he wasnt right he was an idiot
Love you guys for mentioning Loghain. Not approving of his methods but he's definitely one of the best-written characters in Dragon Age, especially if you include The Stolen Throne.
Okay, this is interesting. I like that you mentioned Loghain Mac Tir, and I think the issue with him is far more complex than most people think at first glance. If we go to the novels, he witnessed the Orlesians rape his mother, had his own pet mabari forcibly taken to be used to breed and then came back in such poor condidition she died of injuries in his lap the day she was literally dropped out of a wagon. He, a farmer, then led a group of people and befriended the exile king in hiding. His strategies and tactics were largely what won the day in early battles and Maric's lineage and personality won people over. In The Calling, Loghain doesn't join Maric, Duncan or Fiona and the other Wardens to face the Architect, and Maric kind of just ran off and forced Loghain to run the kingdom in his absence. At the end of the book he rides in to save Duncan's, Fiona's and Maric's life and he witnesses Grey Wardens outright assisting the Architect in a plot to infect all the living people with the blight. He wasn't part of the adventure into the Deep Roads so he lacks context but he has personally witnessed Grey Wardens helping darkspawn. Then we get to Ostagar. One thing that I think is near ALWAYS overlooked is one aspect of Loghain's plan that King Cailan flat out ignored. Loghain had been arguing with Cailan for days on where to be in the battle and whether or not to invite the Orlesians into the battle. Loghain outright says on multiple occasions, even at the war council the king invites us the player to, that the front lines was too dangerous for Cailan to be and constantly advised him not to be there. Cailan insisted on being on the front lines despite his best general telling him not to. Another thing about the Battle of Ostagar that is vastly overlooked is a comment Alistair makes. The thing is, the Tower of Ishal was supposed to be an easy job. We sit there, wait for a signal and light the beacon. Only it had been taken because the darkspawn tunneled underneath and took it at the start of the battle. So we have to fight our way up to the top of the tower and fight an ogre at the top. Alistair flat out tells us that we missed the signal. So, when the darkspawn horde marches, Loghain's forces have to make a choice. Either charge in now that the signal is on and support a line that is already breaking, or make a tactical retreat and try to unite the banns and arls to help out, and then head back south to fight the darkspawn again. Considering Loghain saw Grey Wardens help darkspawn in the past, in the novel the calling, has seen Orlais try to retake Ferelden overtly and covertly since driving them out, it's not that far a stretch for him to think that Celene, a woman who's entire reputation is political maneuvering for her own advantage, wouldn't use the blight to try and put forces in to help, and when the crises ends simply not bring them back home. In Return to Ostagar, it is revealed that Cailan was going to put Loghains' daughter aside and marry Celene. If that happened, that Orlesian army on its way to "help" would suddenly be making itself quite cozy in a new home, protecting the royal couple. Granted, Loghain did not know this, and he is VERY heavy handed in how he deals with skeptics at the Landsmeet and ends up fighting a civil war. I'm honestly not going to blame that war on him though. The codexes in Origin actually talks about how the Banns have gone to war with each other over trees and disputes on who own them. Is he a complex and amazing character. Absolutely. Is he right all the time? Of course not. Is he justified in all he does throughout the game......sometimes yes and more often than not no. Overall, great video.
Paxton Fettel, FEAR and Alma for that matter. Both were horribly tortured mantally and physically and you are forced to kill them both even thou you are part of the family, they just wanted revenge. Also Sephiroth from FF7, Big Boss and of course Darth Vadder.
I've actually thought the Templars in general make more sense than the Assassins and would probably side with them in reality. The whole "Nothing is true. Everything is permitted." bit is nonsense. Even in a world not crafted by a deity, there is still such a thing as objective truth. There is rightness and there is wrongness. Templars do what they do to try to save lives, stop people from destroying themselves, and try to give the human race some longevity. The Assassins on the other hand, I'm not sure they even have a plan beyond kill Templars and tear down anything they build.
You can certainly come to conclusions through observation and experimentation however and get a pretty strong inclination towards what is beneficial to society in the long term
You dont have to know everything to know if something is objectively true. E.g I exist, Whether in a simulation, dream world, e.t.c I know for a fact and objectively that I exist because I am thinking right now, "I think therefore I am". For me to be able to have thoughts means I must exist in some way, maybe not how I think i do but i do regardless.
I agree, the Templars have always been the better side to be with, yes they do quite try to rule as if they're a monarchy and should always be highly praised. But, atleast they're achieving order and peace. Whilest it feels like the Assassins are just an annoying group of rebels trying to prevent that all from happening to do it their way and still never achieve anything.
Actually more often than not, it's the Assassins who side with Monarchy. AC sources indicate WWI was for instance fought to destabilize the European imperial system and make way for change in government.
Every villain can be the hero of their own story from their P.O.V. and those are the best kind imo. An antagonist arguably justified in their actions makes for a deeper, more relatable character that leads us to reflect upon the tale and ourselves. Would we think, say, or do the same in their position, after experiencing their life, struggles, loss? Would we be so different from our enemies if the roles were reversed? This provocative "two sides of the coin" concept benefits quality storytelling. The majority of readers, gamers, and movie-goers are fatigued of stereotypical "good vs evil". It's grown far too predictable and limits creative freedom. Even kids' shows are steadily evolving, regularly treating viewers to more mature themes. Classic good & bad may never die and, to an extent, that's okay. Simplistic marketing is harmless so long as it doesn't set the standard. Nonetheless, as society changes, entertainment must eventually change with it to maintain lasting success. Just remember, it's most often the morally gray that ironically provides the most colorful impacts on our perceptions of the world. That's been true since the conception of ancient constructs like "right" and "wrong" and will continue to be true. *#SubjectivityIsADenseWilderness* 🤔
Amazing how you completely missed revolver ocelots actual story. Looks like you quit playing after the second game. Or TLOU, where if you really played the game you would know there is an audio clip where a firefly doctor says their past experiments on survivors have given zero results and there was no chance that they would find one, but they needed to keep the group hoping, so they would continue killing survivors.
I believe that handsome jack is a good guy I mean his goal is to kill all bandits on Pandora which includes Roland and Lilith who tried to kill him but failed and inadvertently turned him from jack the low level programmer into handsome jack the anti-hero of this story.
Dedede tends to be out for himself, so even though he crosses hammers with Kirby a lot, he has no problem helping the little puffball when something dangerous pops up.
Thank you for this comment, I stopped when he said Loghain was part of a special group and he allowed himself to lose a 'little' battle in order to win the war...
Whoever this guy is he doesn't know what he's talking about. He said that Sub-Zero killed Scorpions family when Sub-Zero had nothing to do with Scorpions families death. What a moron.
Thats actually true! Bi-Han(The elder sub-zero) was part of the Lin Kuei Clan that had been at war with the Shirai Ryu Clan(Scorpions Clan), Scorpion's family was slaughtered by the Lin Kuei during some sort of invasion which decimated the Shirai Ryu, Sub-Zero(Bi-Han) was part of the Lin Kuei and although he might've not been directly responsible for killing Scorpions family, its surely possible and his anger is definitely justified. The new Sub-Zero Kuai Liang is the younger Sub-Zero who was seeking revenge for his brothers death(Who at this point is now Noob Saibot) had found out that the Lin Kuei's Grandmaster had conceived of a plan to decimate the Shirai-Ryu in exchange for the "Cyber Initiative" from Quan Chi, which basically meant the death of the Shirai-Ryu would equal the "Cybering" of the Lin Kuei in turn putting Quan Chi to blame for the death of Scorpion's family, when Kuai Liang found out about this, he sought out Scorpion and successfully made amends, leading Scorpion on a death march against Quan Chi.
It's the title clickbait, very misleading. "villains who were right all along" does not make sense in over half the examples. Also, what defines being right? lol
Speaking of how King Dedede is sort of a good guy, don't forget about _Kirby's Return to Dream Land_ where he teams up with Kirby to first help a poor starship pilot who crash-landed on Pop Star (the planet on which much of the Kirby franchise takes place) then stop a greater evil, or the Dedede Tour of _Kirby Triple Deluxe_ where he goes through the same game as Kirby did, but with greater challenge..
Billy Grey from The Lost and Damned GTA IV DLC. Billy was the old leader of the Lost MC who wanted the Lost to continue their war against the Angels of Death, a rival motorcycle club. His logic was "the harder we hit them, the more we brothers pull closer together." He was a bit of an out of control maniac, and ultimately this is why the more calculated Johnny Klebitz killed him and took over the game. All fine and dandy until GTAV set 5 years or so later and it turns out Johnny Klebitz became a big meth head who is easily stomped to death by Trevor and the rest of the Lost including Terry and Clay are easily wiped out. Maybe Billy Grey was right, and the Lost needed to be ruthless against enemies. Maybe Johnny wasn't the best guy to lead the Lost as he couldn't even control himself. Just a thought.
Alinea Euros think about it. Billy Grey always called Johnny Klebitz soft, and how did Johnny die? Johnny died going in for a hug, with a guy (Trevor) who literally just moments before was fucking his girl. Now not saying Trevor couldn't have killed Billy too, but I highly doubt Billy would've went out like that, and he certainly wouldn't have went for a hug of all things. Again just my two cents. I loved Johnny Klebitz, but in the end, things certainly are questionable.
Interestingly the first LoK game I played in the late PS/early PS2 days was Soul Reaver...Borrowed it off a mate, I'd never heard of Blood omen at the time. Played SR1, totally hated Kain. Then got around to playing the rest and love him to this day ;]
Hugh Darrow from Deus Ex Human Revolution is the best representation of "Choosing the lesser evil". At first, when Adam was wrecked, i wanted to tear the main villain apart, but when i met him and understood his motives, i agreed with him.
Scorpion becomes a good guy because he realized that Quantity Chi was the one who killed his family and turned good to redeem himself from killing current sub-zero’s brother.
the last of us ending was to point out that if humans were going to act like garbage it would probably be better for them to die out at least that's what I got from it.
Ramza Beoulves fireflies we're not good guys they killed innocent children and none of them knew if they could actually get the cure from Ellie and the humans were acting like garbage, instead of working together and fighting off the disease the government killed innocent people and people formed groups to raid others. I mean there was that gang of guys that wanted to kill a little girl.
ninja of fire agreed. The Fireflies and Marlene were evil from the beginning and Davids Cult and The Hunters as well. I was in Joel and Ellies corner for the entire game, will always be and everybody should be. Joel did the right thing and Marlene and The Fireflies werr doing the wrong and evil thing.
Sure, Joel, Ellie, Bill, Tommy, Sarah, Tess, Sam, Henry and Maria are good people but not Anti Military Terrorists who sacrifice the lives of innocent people who have no chance of providing the cure and are willing to (like deciding to sacrifice Ellie which I am convinced anyway would never have led to a cure, just be another needless sacrifice). There have to be other ways to get a cure (and better ways because The Fireflies failed miserably). If they could find/have found the cure it means the only cure to the infections obviously needless sacrificial death and the extinction of humanity. I do not exactly concider needless death and human extinction a cure though except in the bleakest sence. Thus far I would say no cure was ever possible and none will be possible in the world of TLOU. It will be interesting to see where The Last Of Us Part II takes things. Based on The games trailer Ellie resolves to kill all the Fireflies realizing they were just actively killing people while falsely believing they could find a cure. They were delusional and irrational and insane (as they were doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result) terrorists as the audiofiles Joel finds proove. The Fireflies were Fanatical Zealots who could not ever save humanity, they only thought they could overlooking the fact their lack of progress prooved they could not.
I'd have to play the game again (for what would now be the billionth time) to get more of a grasp on the characters motivations but...I am now wondering about Baron Praxis in Jak II...though I'm doubtful I can defend him trying to crack open the precursor stone
LISTEN SUB-ZERO DIDNT KILL ANYONE IN SCORPIONS CLAN QUAN-CHI DID HE USED HIS BODY CHANGE POWER THINGY TO TURN INTO SUB-ZERO AND KILLED HIS PARENTS AND EVEEYONE IN HIS CLAN IT WASNT SUB-ZERO YOU WOULD KNOW THIS IF YOU BEAT EVERY MORTAL KOMBAT STORY MODE or just mortal kombat 9
Yeah. I thought him too. I honestly like his number 1 pick. I’m a big fan of the ac games and 3 was one of my favorites. Maybe not in terms of length but I thought the story and connection between 3,4,rogue was cool. And I loved 3 for combat. A lot of people hate 3 but it was a solid game with a lot of good qualities people always overlook.
