To thing we use to have real heroes.

Sup Forums is not a hive and you are a retard.

>To thing we use to have real heroes.

Like Shinji Ikari, that autistic fuck Kamille Bidan and all those beta harem protagonists right?

Fuck off

sorry you don't want your heroes to experience any adversity or drama

>Subaru
>hero

He's a normal dude

You dumbass, did you not watch ep. 18? Subby will be a hero now. Just you wait for the next one.

>Subby

The an-hero Sup Forums deserves

>Waaahh, when my protag goes through emotional trauma, he loses it/doesn't exploit the laws of the world to his own gain.

Right, I'm going to put shit straight on this. Re zero ain't finished so I'm not going to go through all the shit that he goes through, let's choose classic example shinji ikari.

>be child
>dad doesn't pay any attention to you, that's okay, mom does
>see where mom and dad work
>mom's soul get's absorbed by giant bio robot
>trauma covers most memories of this event
>care increases, by exactly one day of you and your dad looking at your mom's grave in complete awkwardness because he's even more of a spaz than you are
>that's okay, he got you a caring caretaker!
>she's a mentally depressed alcoholic, and you pretty much have to look after yourself
>even learned the fucking cello to get his attention
>the fucking cello
>BUT SUDDENLY DAD WANTS TO MEET, AT THE EMERGENCE OF DANGER
>HE REALLY DOES CARE
>Cross fucking warzone besieged by floating asshole tim burton monster
>Maybe he wants to make amends at the end of the world!
>Lol no, get in this robot, fight the angel. Only you can do it, if you don't we'll guilt you with this half corpse of a blue haired girl
>Did I tell you that you can feel all it's pain?
>Despite zero goddamn training, come through
>End up in fucking hospital, dad's not there, no-one even congratulates me for postponing the end of the world
>Dudes from school even beat me up, and the blue haired girl ignores me
>THE BULLSHIT CONTINUES
>Every time an angel comes, every single time, this fucking shit happens
>Get torn to ribbons, get lased in the motherfucking chest
>Point out absurdity of situation to bluehaired girl
>Bitch slaps me for being mildly critical of a man who at 14 has spent more time with this half albino emotionless teen than his own damn son
>Have to work together with her, save her life, work well, she manages to fucking smile
>I beat up a double pyramid laser cunt machine so she goddamn smiles

>Still, closest thing to a parental figure I've ever known
>Getting into groove of things
>SHINJI, GUESS WHAT, THERE'S A GERMAN ALLY COMING OVER TO HELP US
>Yay?
>Maybe she won't be as bad as everyone I work with
>Even the goddamn technical staff are awful
>SHINJI, YOU'RE BEING RAPED SIDEWAYS BY A GIANT HORSESHOE CRAB
>NO SHIT YOU RUGMUNCHING BITCH I CAN FUCKING FEEL THIS BULLSHIT, GIVE ME SOME ADVICE OTHER THAN USING THIS FUCKING USELESS GUN
>Whatever, like I said, she might be better
>No, she's even worse
>Literally berates me at how shit I must be at fighting angels
>Excusafucking me, how many have you fought? None
>In fact, I think I'm the only goddamn person fighting these fucks
>Must look into that
>SUDDENLY ANGEL
>IT'S UNDERWATER
>She can probably handle it
>Nope, it's fucking us up, it's fucking us up good
>Get in the damn robot with her
>We get our asses kicked until she agrees to work with me
>Naturally we open it's mouth and fire a battleship gun down it's throat
>Beginning of a beautiful friendship?
>NOPE
>HOLY BALLS, EVERYONE IS FUCKING AWFUL AT THEIR JOBS
>We work together to take out angels, and she can't be stable for one fucking second
>Have to do fucking ballet and dance dance revolution with this cunt all while she kicks the shit out of me so she can trust me for one second
>Blue hair is still here, looking good but eh. She never really elaborates on herself, and I'm pretty sure she lives in a morgue
>But yano, it gets better.
>We go through hijinks, even feel romance which is occasionally stopped by whispers of mommy, or just plain cluelessness
>I also stop a giant walking nuclear reactor. Gj guys, you fucking imbeciles
>All is getting better, but people seem to be getting slightly off
>BUT HEY, NEW PILOT
>Japanese to boot nonetheless
>Preparations begin
>Oh wait, nevermind, it's a goddamn angel
>With a pilot inside
>Repeatedly state my problems with killing another pilot in cold blood
>Maybe they'll make someone else do it?

Evafag is in heat, it seems.

>I didn't sign up to fight the harbingers of death, nevermind fucking teenagers held hostage
>Nah
>See shinji, what we're going to do
>What we're going to do
>We're going to take control of your fucking robot
>RIP THAT FUCKING ASSHOLE TO PIECES RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES
>EXTRACT THE PILOT'S POD
>And rescue the pilot
>FUCK IT, WE'LL CRUSH HIM
>TURNS OUT HE'S ONE OF THE GUYS WHO BULLIED YOU AND YOU LATER RECONCILED WITH
>WHAT THE THUNDERCUNTING SHIT IS THIS TRAVESTY
>WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE
>But shinji, psychological damage powers the angel
>FUCK YOU, THIS ENDS NOW
>I mean, I calmly voice my objections to this turn of events, and then get arrested.
>Huh
>Well
>BUT DON'T WORRY FOLKS BECAUSE THERE'S ANOTHER ANGEL COMING
>I don't need to deal with it, the other two pilots may be jobbers, but they can't fail all the time
>And they get their asses kicked
>Eventually guilted back into the damn robot by a guy that's shagging my carer, and is probably responsible for her being inept
>Cheers bud
>Beat the shit out of this angel
>I'M WINNING, I'M WINNING
>And, I run out of power
>Fucking techies can't make power systems to run more than a couple of minutes
>So close, and now I'm being bitch slapped by a fucking ribbon monster
>So, naturally, EVA 01 sees my distress and does the logical thing, by absorbing me, beating the shit out of flappy and eating it's heart
>Did solve the power problem. No-one told me I could just eat the fucking cherry on every damn angel I've fought however
>I think I'd appreciate this more if I weren't in a pyschadelic limbo with my mum
>And rei
>They may be the same person, but I don't really see the point in that
>Later find out that EVA 00 is basically a narcissism toy for bluehair
>The only semi-competent pilot on this team is a goddamn clone of mum
>Eventually came out of limbo
>So what happened while I was gone?
>Asuka fought an angel that played ORCHESTRAL MUSIC
>WoooooOOOOOoooo

Hating on Subaru would be like hating on myself, not that I don't do that but still.

how autistic

call me a pleb but I prefer MC's who don't spend their entire screentime feeling sorry for themselves and acting like an autist

>grow up in a shitty family
>be a lonely NEET playing vidya all day
>have no friends or future
>suddenly find yourself in a strange fantasy world similar to the games you like to play
>get saved by a cute half elf girl that you fall in love with
>die trying to protect her
>suddenly you live again and everything has reset
>it plays our sort of like your games so you start thinking that maybe you're the heroic MC
>die over and over and over again trying to protect her
>you want no reward besides staying by her side
>you see how she mingles with shiny powerful knights
>you do your best to not say anything despite your jealousy feeling like a stone in your chest
>you notice how she wants less and less to do with you
>eventually she throws you away like a used tool to be kept in the background
>you make sure to do your very best in a desperate attempt to stay relevant in her life
>she doesn't care so you finally snap and tell her what an ungrateful whore she is
>she leaves you without any remorse
>one of her maids are ordered to stay with you for a while
>you train hard every day to be worthy of calling yourself a knight of her
>you grow closer to the maid that was left behind with you
>you suddenly receive word that the ungrateful girl you love is in danger
>you do what you must and travel to save her
>the maid that you thought you could trust betrays you
>everyone you ever cared for keep turning their backs on you
>you're all alone

How can ANYONE say that Subaru is a bad person? He is the most tragic MC to have existed in a very long time. He tries his very hardest to do the right thing but it keeps backfiring on him. He wasn't some social butterfly with a perfectly happy normal life, all he knows is vidya and anime and he does his very best to apply his knowledge on this new world. Saint Subaru-sama is a perfect character.

>even learned the fucking cello to get his attention
>Bitch slaps me for being mildly critical of a man who at 14 has spent more time with this half albino emotionless teen than his own damn son

Okay I laughed

Honestly, I though I could sum it up in one, but my summary skills are shit. Kinda wanted to quit, but also want these threads to stop popping up. Fuck me I guess.

>Turns out she flipped off the deep end, and Rei had to chuck an autokill spear to kill it
>We apparently had autokill spears
>That we could have used at any time
>ANY TIME
>Okay.
>Anyway, asuka is off commision, and I guess I'm finally getting close to rei
>Naturally, the next angel suicide bombs her
>In a country with negligible irish/english/muslim/cultist terrorists, my only suicide bomber blows up my closest excuse for a friend
>HEY SHINJI GUESS WHAT SHE'S ALIVE
>Uh no that imposs
>She's alive
>And she doesn't remember any past event
>And it's not her, is it
>Fuck my life
>SUDDENLY, NEW PILOT
>BECAUSE THIS HAS GONE SO FUCKING WELL EVERYTIME THAT'S HAPPENED
>LITERALLY ONE STEP AWAY FROM HAVING VIETNAM STYLE BREAKDOWNS AT SOMETHING LIKE CLASSIC MUSIC OR SEXUAL ADVANCES
>Hey, it's a guy, he's chill, and he's probably coming onto me
>Literally first act of honest passion in my life
>And he's an angel
>BUT REI IS HERE TO HELP
>Nope, she just kinda stares at him. I'm going toe to toe in the south pole, and she's having a red eyes staring contest like two stoners over a fucking pot brownie
>I have to crush him , or he'll cause the end of the world
>How many human slushies can one make make before their mind breaks?
>2 apparently
>After crushing my last reliable source of teenage boinking, I then breakdown in an extremely confusing turn of events where everyone I ever know takes the piss out of me and comes onto me alternately.
>This only stops when I say I'll just do my best in the future, and it's okay to be bad if you want to strive for others
>Everyone fucking claps at this as if I've been a massive depressing burden for the past year
>Swear to god, going to choke the next person I see for this condescending bullshit at the end of that fiasco.

but the protag in your image is shit, and does both of your critique points

hey I can't help you being wrong

he alternated, until the parasite made him numb to emotions he did nothing aside from feeling sorry for himself, and after that he went autistic quite literally

I'll give you a fucking hero, but he can only be a hero.

Subaru should just stop being a bitch.

All this did was make me want to rewatch Eva. Shinji didn't deserve half the bullshit he went through

tldr
