Villain is written to be a genius

>villain is written to be a genius
>he's literally just a stereotypical bad guy who happens to have mind-reading abilities and knows exactly what the good guys will do at every turn
Has there ever been a single piece of media that portrayed intelligence accurately instead of just turning the character into a Mary Sue and excusing it with "yeah but mathematical genius".

Smart people contribute to the world or work in high finance to screw everyone over.

They're not going to write some shitty capeshit script for Hollywood

This

Comic Book Guy in the Simpsons. Real smart people are fucking weird autists with abrasive personalities half of the time.

Anton Chigurh from No Country for Old Men is a smartly written smart character. When Chigurh kills a hotel room full of three people he books to room next door so he can examine it, finding which walls he can shoot through, where the light switch is, what sort of cover is there etc. This is a smart thing to do because Chigurh is a smart person who is written by another smart person who understands how smart people think.

Were Sherlock Holmes to kill a hotel room full of three people. He'd enter using a secret door in the hotel that he read about in a book ten years ago. He'd throw peanuts at one guy causing him to go into anaphylactic shock, as he had deduced from a dartboard with a picture of George Washington carver on it pinned to the wall that the man had a severe peanut allergy. The second man would then kill himself just according to plan as Sherlock had earlier deduced that him and the first man were homosexual lovers who couldn't live without eachother due to a faint scent of penis on each man's breath and a slight dilation of their pupils whenever they looked at each other. As for the third man, why Sherlock doesn't kill him at all. The third man removes his sunglasses and wig to reveal he actually WAS Sherlock the entire time. But Sherlock just entered through the Secret door and killed two people, how can there be two of him? The first Sherlock removes his mask to reveal he's actually Moriarty attempting to frame Sherlock for two murders. Sherlock however anticipated this, the two dead men stand up, they're undercover police officers, it was all a ruse. "But Sherlock!" Moriarty cries "That police officer blew his own head off, look at it, there's skull fragments on the wall, how is he fine now? How did you fake that?". Sherlock just winks at the screen, the end.

This is retarded because Sherlock is a smart person written by a stupid person to whom smart people are indistinguishable from wizards.

Yes, Chrollo of HxH

sherlock's (or tdk's joker) appeal is not that they're actually smart, but that they make you wonder how smart they must be
it's sort of a narrative magic trick, you write convincing convenience and mary-sueness and you make the audience chase something that doesn't exist

It's a kind of sleight of hand thing yea

>I've

Congrats on outing yourself as retarded AND a newfag

>weak

Light Yagami aka Kira from Death Note.
Almost everything he does is following a very logical lime of thinking. It may not be correct or believable at times but it does have a consistent logic to it.
And the author even allows him to make several mistakes at times.

>entire show happens because of his own ego and desire to outwit his enemy
But yeah, he's a pretty well written character for the most part. Shame that Neal was such bullshit.

Wasn't Conan Doyle actually very smart, and an accomplished Doctor among other things though? What are they Coen's other than some dudes who write overrated movies that hipsters love for some reason?

It refers to the BBC Sherlock, not Conan Doyle's version of the character.

None of their movies have left a lasting impression on me. I don't get it.

>brainlet
>acts as if his opinion has any weight

What's good about them? They seem like meme flicks.

Stick to capeshit

They are _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________great

Also, I second this

Why?

Newfag get out

>accurately

You're literally complaining that a character from a comic book isn't "accurate."

You do see the problem here, don't you?

>Why so serious?

You need to be smart to write a smart character...

They might write films. But yeah, they're hardly going to write a Nolan flick ffs

in order to portray intelligent characters accurately, you need to be intelligent yourself, which severely limits the number of writers who can actually pull it off

was hoping for this

He literally had good guys feeding him information the whole movie. Did you miss that or are you so braindead that you needed shots of policemen walking around at night nervously looking over their shoulders before stepping into a conveniently isolated payphone booth to dial Heath Ledger up?

the joker is more of a zen master ie he does some stuff with the intention of forcing other people to react and then he might plan along all their counter moves and improvise a solution when its in action to ensure that hes always prepared to act in a winning fashion.

I remember back in the day I was watching an episode of Bones, and two of the Jeffersonian scientists were going to drop a flash-frozen turkey off the balcony to test some BS or another and see how it shattered. Only anyone with a brain knows that flash-frozen things won't do that. You have to set them on something hard and then hit them with something else to shatter them.
I was like 'lol, these writers are retards'. But then five minutes later some scientist Angel and Not-Zoey were interviewing was like, 'lol, those retards. It's just going to bounce'.
