ITT: Name characters that started out as Heros or where meant to become great heros / good guys in the future but along the way turned to the dark side so to speak.
Examples;
Anakin Skywalker > Darth Vader.
Arthas Menethil > Lich King
Harvey Dent > Two Face
The chick from Starcraft that became the Zerg queen
the culling of Stratholme was justified.
No smelly girls, I want to actually relate to a character.
It was and Uther was being a little pussy boy.
that was such a good story, kerrigan was such an awesome character. what they did in sc2, literally made her space jesus, dying to save everyone, holy fuck, the sc2 writers deserve to be shot in the head
If it's anime Obito Uchiha is a good example too
And Jason Todd also ofc.
Daenerys Targaryen
Michael corleone
That guy from 24
Technically Walter White or Tony Soprano since they get progressively worse in terms of their crimes and become more than just 'good guys who do bad things'
Lex Luthor from Smallville
Is Smallville any good / worth giving a watch?
Forest Gump
Gilbert Grape
Tom Hanks
How in the world have you watched Sopranos and have the slightest notion that Tony was never a bad guy?
Frodo, though his full transition lasted for only a brief moment.
ever since Milton wrote Paradise Lost and gave us the idea of the fallen angel, most villain stories have been about corrupted heros.
Sold his soul
wasn't Lucifer already seen as a fallen angel before that?
Another question who does it better.
Anime or Live Action?
would Jack Torrance fit? he clearly becomes increasingly darker but I wouldn't say he was ever a hero.
Donald Trump
Manga without a doubt
Yeah.
I would also say Lelouch from Code Geass but he was more Good > Anti Hero > Bit of a Villain > then good again, right?
Hopefully season 3 will clarify when it comes out.
>implying griffith was ever good
He was a self serving egotistical ass hole that couldn't handle rejection
ARTHAS DID NOTHING WRONG
FUCK YOU UTHER BITCHASS
it wasn't in the Bible. maybe some paintings might have depicted it. but to my knowledge the myth came from Milton.
He betrayed the honest hard working ice trolls and ogres from Northrend
>AM I MAD?
He did something wrong the moment he literally took a piss in the urn that contained his fathers ashes, the very same father which he drove a sword through his royal face.
They did the same with Illidan in WoW, He went from crazy night elf who was hellbent on revenge on his captors and the legion into a fucking prophesied hero of the light who is destined to save everyone
Iron Man
He started out as an abusive alcoholic failure who broke his own son's arm.
There are many characters like that. It's one of the most common trope in art and entertainment.
geralt of rivia
Explain how Geralt becomes a villain.
Big Boss A.K.A. Autistic Snake
cunnyposter
Big Boss
Bane
>Tony started as a good guy
Daily reminder that a shitty RTS video game had a better plot than the most watched TV series ever produced by humanity
Daenerys Targaryan - - > Mad Queen
Thank God I canceled after Cataclysm
yea nah nigga tony is a scumbag from the get go
Chuck > Sneed
Grant Ward
Childhood is when you idolize Arthas
Adulthood is when you realize Uther was right
He never literally pissed in his father's urn, that was Uther's propaganda.
Also killing his father was justified
how was walt ever good?
Which is a better sword Longclaw or Frostmourne
Arthas - > Night King
can longclaw steal your sword after it kills you
i meant soul*
>No smelly girls
i kek'd more then i should
Bran > night king
Oskar Schindler
>started not caring about the joos
>ended saving joos
truly the scum of his time
arthas never actually turns into the lich king, the lich king possesses arthas. we can consider him dead after putting on the crown, or even a few weeks after wielding frostmourne
