Everytime someone mentions the trowlly problem as a legitimate reason to do literally anything I feel the need to break their kneecaps

I can'y count how many villains are obsessed with some weird facet in life, like a specific quality or a definition of strength or some other bullshit. I think autism is key to being a villain in anime or something.

I mean having a clear motive is essential l to make a villain

What's the one where the two boats are sinking or something?

Utilitarism?

people like this dont think outside the box.
why not just topple the trolly?

I meant a series did that exact scenario and for contrived reasons MC couldn't save everyone and it broke his mindest or someshit. It was dumb.

It makes sense, when you study Confuscianism and the schools of Buddhism that influenced Japan. It's acculturated. It's intuitive to cast the villain as unbalanced, becoming an agent of chaos in society in the process, rather than engulfed in an obvious vice.

I don't get it.

It's more confusing why they still care about some old fart who's clearly totally irrelevant nowadays.

Indeed

Confucius is the most formative Asian philosopher, and arguably more foundational to modern Japan than his home of China, due to the cultural revolution in the PRC.
Confucius lived in nasty and violent times in China. His solution was not a quick and easy one, and wasn't even accepted much at all in his lifetime. He laid out a reformative philosophy of life and society, one which proclaimed the important of harmony to the universal order in a moral/virtuous person's life. It also emphasized humility and respect (familial respect, and social respect).
Japan implemented a lot of Confucian ideals, particularly in times of peaceful unification, like the Tokugawa Shogunate. As you can learn in Anthropology, a lot of what a person and society values are acculturated ideals. They're things that have been slowly grafted into your mind throughout childhood, like you learn a native language.
This Confucian culture probably explains why anime villains tend to be either out of balance or without respect, to the universal order of things, rather than any other villainous quality. Thus, they're often agents of chaos who don't value human life and society.

The truth is, all of society is based on implemented the ideas of a few dead men. So we better pick some good ones.

is that a penis?

For the same reason the west cares about some ancient writings about the Cross Man and his 12 buttbudies

Because if you look at the current stock of so called relevant intellectuals, dead farts look like the better option to learn from.

Name one major society today whose cultures and traditions still practiced today aren't heavily influenced by "some old fart."

No, but only if the antagonist is entertaining

Yeah. Take the most recent arc of My Hero Academia. Shigaraki, the big bad of the series, just wants to destroy everything because he's evil and mad at the world. That's boring, and by extension so is the rest of the League of Villains.
By contrast, the Meta Liberation Army, the latest group of villains, have an ideology based on their belief that those with superpowers should have the right to use them without fear of government reprisal. This makes them more understandable and therefore more interesting as antagonists even though the individual members haven't been as fleshed out yet.

Its amazing that even western capeshit understands this but anime still struggles with it

Not so much the movies, but definitely the comics

Better motivations than just evil for the sake of evil

Naturally, exceptions exist, but far too many anime villains dont have motivations explored, or are only touched on to the same extent as Shigaraki

Even the capeshit movies generally try to give their villains at least some motivation, even if its as simple as some power grab or revenge story

True. Although to be fair, many comic book villains started out as one-dimensional evil villains, but were later developed by other writers to make them more complex. Magneto is probably the best example.

I can't quite remember, but it was something like a commemorative edition, the heroes show up earlier in the comic.

Context is that 9/11 happened. All of the capes are cleaning up for most of the issue, but then we get this page of all the villains helping too/standing around doing nothing while crying.

Yes. In the same manga, there's a girl who collects penises. She bathes them, feeds them watermelons, plays with them, etc. She collects them from the boys she likes by having another dude install urinals with dick-guillotines installed to chop their dicks off. They're totally fine with it and don't really care about losing their dick because it grows back, except when it doesn't.

Fate/Zero. He literally has his entire moral framework wrecked by someone suggesting that you might have to go through the process twice, meaning that the majority die no matter what you do.
It was ridiculously dumb. But that's fateshit I guess.

Doom is not a villian, he is an antagonist to Reed Richards but the world he is in see's him as a legally protected government representative and his ethnostate country supports his facist ways.

Things doom has done

Spitefully made a home country for his people so they would no longer be mistreated.

Spitefully learned magic to save his mother from the devil.

Powered by spite became a god emperor of mankind to make sure humanity survives the future.

Spitefully saved Sue Storms children.

Reassembled his body atom by atom out of spite after being disintegrated.

If the only restaurants around are expensive gourmet restaurants, how the fuck are most people going to afford to eat out? How could the free market possibly tolerate having so much unmet demand? The big food corporations would never allow it.

Azami does not understand basic economics and thinks anybody gives a single shit enough to enforce this

I haven't gotten to this part yet, but I kek'd at the skulls in the background. Did anyone in-universe try to point out that many people can't afford to eat at fancy gourmet places and that there will always be a market demand for cheap places as long as the middle and lower class exist? Or was he going to try to lobby (i.e. bribe) politicians to pass legislation that effectively forces cheap places to close down, cause that's the only way I can see his pants-on-head retarded plan having any chance of working.

Of course not. In fact, for some reason Eizan, one of his subordinates, was a super greedy guy that was previously all about making money by doing consulting work with all kinds of restaurants, yet he was fully on board with Azami's plan that would shut down most restaurants and would logically deprive him of customers.
We never really got any explanation of how he would enforce closing restaurants he didn't like. His plan was to churn out a bunch of gourmet chefs that would follow his ideology and have them take over the gourmet world, but I don't see how that would affect McDonald's.

These threads always end up having no right answers because it's clear everyone's got a different reason for finding a villain "great". (It's also a harder subject to debate than what makes a good protagonist since villains have this ethic problem attached to them about if we "like" them or not, while 99% of the time we're supposed to like the MC).
For me it's always about execution rather than motive. Shit like are so fucking wrong on so many levels for example, since Luca Blight shits on almost every villains with justifiable motives.

He wasn't capable of coming up with a 50012 step plan to guide human culture to the point where it fixed all its problems and no longer had to worry about suicide via global war. All he could come up with was a superheroes' solution (just keep punching bad guys and let the actual leaders lead) which he tried and failed with the minutemen, or a supervillains' solution (I'll summon a HIDEOUS BEAST to make the world WAKE UP to its foolishness and realize how weak and insignificant we all are), and his fear of nuclear mutual destruction was itself a 'black freighter' a phantom menace ultimately created by Ozymandius taking for granted that everyone was just plain inferior to him and he really did know better

lack of emotional intelligence. empathy, sympathy, that kind of thing. they aren't really aware of it, but they treat people IRL like they are just characters in the drama of their own solipsistic perception of the world, and their fictional characters in turn are doubleplus flat because they are only thinking about how the main character feels, and are unpracticed in the art of exploring how the members of 'everyone else' feels, only what they do. So they are left with just a mass of plot devices with names that just do things without any human-ness about them

Because (like Miyazaki said) a lot of writers are writing based on seeing other fiction (with necessarily distilled caricatures of humanity) and not based on any knowledge of actual human behavior.
So they base their work on these distilled caricatures, making the caricatures that they make even MORE distilled until they lose what made the originals compelling.

Rorschach was by no means a good guy. He allowed for his black and white mentality, which was more just a childish defense mechanism against his shitty life, to justify him acting as judge, jury, and executioner. He's imposing his own morality on the world through force, just like Veidt, he just has less resources to do so so the scale is smaller.

Nite Owl was just a more or less normal guy with some impotency issues in way over his head. He stood for the every man being forced to make vague moral choices with no guaranteed right or wrong answer.

Veidt was a megalomaniac who believed he knew better than anyone, but it's difficult to call him to task because he's always the smartest person in the room and pretty much never fails at what he intends to do. So while you hear him go on about how he's going to create a utopia and you're thinking "can this guy get anymore full of himself?" you still have the fact that he succeeds and is never really proven wrong nagging in the back of your mind.

Jon comes across as at least somewhat hamming up his own separation from humanity. He still has moments where he behaves just like a human, but it almost seems like he needs to think of himself as being irreversibly different from those around him.

Nah, evil just for the sake of being evil is a nice change of pace from all the recent villains.

That adds to the ambiguous nature of the ending, but it's more taking the piss out of the idea of comic books, where once you defeat the big bad guy everything works out and everyone lives happily ever after. Real life is messy, and just because one chapter closes doesn't mean a dozen more won't open.

So basically Kyubey from Madoka

So basically Walter White from Breaking Bad
Death Note also seemed like it was trying to do this, but he went evil so quickly that it was obvious that it was just about his ego to begin with.

Let's take the set of contexts containing all possible contexts. These contexts contain all possible motivations and all subsets of contexts. Therefore there exists a context where "go fuck yourself" is a good motivation.

There is no particular standard for motives, and it's retarded to think there is. As long as the villain is charismatic enough and works in the story then they're a good villain.

The permanently increasing (or, at most, stagnant) total entropy of the universe is the accepted scientific fact. What sounded like a made up excuse was the need taint human souls and somehow use them in order to somehow reverse this. To me it felt like the creature just wanted souls. But if in the movies there are more like it and they all work together and say the same thing I guess they are not bullshitting.

He's right though, brainlet. Inkblotlet face-man wanted the truth to be out more than anything, even at the cost of the greater good. Good men like me do horrible things and go bump in the night so your mediocre civilian ass can sleep soundly at night in your comfy beds with your family and friends, eating decent food while criticizing us and forgetting about us and leaving us to die after we've been broken doing what you won't. through all of this you're the weaklings who are without empathy because you're never lost or sacrificed everything. I do agree with Rorschach being fed up with protecting people who demonized them, but even if they do, they still need protecting and letting them all die isn't the way to solve anything.

So no, your butthurt helps no one and you should be thankful that there are people willing to do the things you aren't willing to so you can keep criticizing the "bad people" who keep you free. So man fucking stupid children these days have no respect because everything was handed to them. Thankfully, you're the minority.

I really don't get why Moore complains about people liking Rorschach, when he wrote him as the only protagonist with a moral backbone.

Maybe it is because he was supposed to be the lunatic that fucks everything up in the end. His whole character encompases everything Moore himself hates.

Both forms of justice are fallible, but an individual person, especially one who believes in their own righteousness, when wrong answers to fewer people. At least with a justice system, it's generally built upon in an agreement by the people under it. No one else agreed to Rorschach's moral code, yet he forced it onto others.

Everyone wants to believe that all the bad guys will get theirs and all the good guys will be rewarded, but that's nothing more than a childish fantasy. Real life is messy, ugly and awkward, and doesn't always work as intended. Waiting on Superman will just leave you out in the cold till you die of exposure.

On Jon's side, he comes across more human than people assume or let on. He cracks jokes, has emotions, and even seems to talk down to people in a grandiose manner, all of it hidden behind this idea that he's no longer human. I think he feels different than others (for obvious reasons) and no longer has much that he can relate to with anyone, so he's stuck in this desolation and he justifies it with nihilism. Yet despite that he's clearly hurt by the news of Jenny's diagnosis and becomes withdrawn when dumped by Laurie, just like a lot of people who go through a bad break up. He's angry when he finds out Laurie has been sleeping with Dan and is as indecisive as he was when he was Osterman.

Really I just think a good villain is one that fits with the themes of the narrative. X-men is more about conflicting ideals about dealing with mutants in society, so a villain with real morals and legitimacy to his convictions like Magneto is basically perfect for that type of story. By contrast (using more capeshit as an example), Batman stories typically focus more on vigilante justice, strength of willpower and bringing down a hammer of order to an injust society; in that sense a purely chaotic evil terrorist like Joker makes more sense.

What does Moore think people should do, just take it up the ass?

Probably actually work through their problems in a healthy manner instead of trying to "tough out" mental disorders.
People treat Rorschach's moral absolutism as if it's an admirable character trait, but it's extremely fragile and only works in a childish world of good guys and bad guys. It can't cope with actually difficult moral choices, which is why he commits suicide by Manhattan at the end.

For instance, Rorschach considers Truman and his father to be good people. However, he doesn't even know his father, and creates fantasies where his father is a respectable man who left his mother to fight in the war, despite everything about his home life pointing to the contrary. This leads to him liking Truman, because one of the few things he "knows" about his father is that he liked Truman, and Rorschach has created an idolized version of his father in his head.

So the only two people we know Rorschach considers moral are based on lies he tells himself.

This is even further reinforced by his essay about Truman, where he says he agrees with Truman's decision to drop the nukes on Japan because if he hadn't, more people would have died than did in the bombing. Who else's philosophy does that remind you of?

Again, moral absolutism is not an admirable philosophy. Generally people either respect that part of him, or even if they feel that moral absolutism isn't a virtue, they admire that he sticks to it. Except like his essay on Truman shows, he doesn't. His moral absolutism is just a way for him to cope with the world.

It's from the series, subbed by Jiang Hu.

He's a fictional character. You don't have to respect or admire his principles to prefer him over his contemporaries.

You aren't really supposed to prefer any of them, as they are all fairly broken people in their own way. My point is that people prefer Rorschach for sham reasons that have nothing to do with how the character is actually portrayed.

Sorry, should think a little more before posting since doesn't really address the earlier topic. Back on that track, but even if it is a coping mechanism, it doesn't change the fact that what he is doing is something that people can find compelling.

People don’t care if he’s had a shit childhood. It doesn’t matter, since he could’ve very easily just turned into a rapist or a criminal etc. The fact he didn’t and instead went on to hunt “bad guys” even at great personal risk with little to no gain is usually seen as a admirable trait. Now please argue harder about how killing child murderer and feeding her too the dogs is “moral absolutism” and a massive cope and how Rorschach is actually a bad guy.

but i agree he didnt have that much grey except for his love for his sister.. and he was probably oone of the most memorable villains in suikoden franchise.

kefka was also a great villain and he didn't have that complex of a reason. it all depends if what they do is memorable

still protagonist and antagonist are not the same as good or bad. take breaking bad and death note

all of then can be good portrayals it all depends on execution

they are in trhe same category as cuthulu and lavos.

they are an alien mind that is doing his nature

He isn't a bad guy, just also not a "good" guy either. It's a telling sign that those who defend moral absolutism always default to indefensible crimes. No one will balk much at a human butcher a serial rapist being killed by extralegal means, but it's a value system that can't handle morally ambiguous situations.

Veidt explains it best; Rorschach is a man of great integrity, but his moral system is limitation.

Yeah except Veidt murdered millions of people. Maybe if Veidt had a “limited” moral system that would be a good thing. And guess who Rorschach deals with, cause he doesn’t kill petty criminals or minor thieves or people in the “grey areas”, the only people we have seen him kill are
>serial killer
>child killer
>two people trying to kill him
>mafia boss
Arguing about his moral absolutism being a flaw when it never pops up is stupid

Rorscach comes into contact with what I’m sure you’d consider a well rounded “not broken” person when he meets the pyschologist. And then instead of Rorscach being fixed, the pyschologist is the one who “breaks”. That’s why I’m having issues with the idea that Rorscach, fucked up as he is, is in the wrong, considering the milquetoast “non-broken” person couldn’t actually even come close to fixing him

Except Rorschach also agreed with Truman dropping the nukes on Japan because if he didn't, more people would have died in an invasion. So much for his rigid morals.

The whole point of a moral system is how it handles various situations. And one of moral absolutism's flaws does pop up, and directly leads to Rorschach's death. His moral system is unable to handle the ambiguous situation it found itself in, and lead him to essentially commit suicide.

Malcolm was a shallow person who only wanted to "fix" Rorschach for the fame it would acquire him. What kind of psychologist doesn't encounter nihilism before being late in his career?

He commits suicide. Even if Manhattan doesn't kill him, what's he supposed to do? How's he supposed to find his way back to the owlship? And if he does, how does he fix it? And if he does, how does he pilot it?
There's a reason he took off his "face" before dying, and was crying when he asked Manhattan to do it. He couldn't live in that world with that moral burden, because he beliefs wouldn't allow for it. He couldn't come to grips with the situation he found himself in, and decided to die rather than have his defense mechanism shattered.

He was 100% right. The trolley question is agonizing to plebs. To people with actual power, it's a no brainer to pull the damn lever. That's what those people are there for, to made the hard decisions for the sake of the herd.

no, silly things like how to get from a to b shouldnt stop your beliefs

This is shit. There are great villains from every tier here. There's more to a good villain than their motivation.

It's entirely relevant. He was basically doing a Frankenstein, going out to die alone in the antarctic cold. Manhattan expedited the process, but Rorschach knew there was no chance of him making it to New York, he's not an idiot.

To this day I remember some stupid tv documentary talking about how comics were maturing by tackling difficult and modern subjects (like watergate and stuff) but blamed the readers for not liking it and treat them as children.
This shit is why comics are terrible, its all so heavy handed and laughable, i get that marvel was shaken up by 911 since they are from NY but this is just embarassing, even worse since a few years later they did Ultimatum.

Actions define a villain. Motivations simply make their actions more comprehensible, maybe.

Motivations can be the same but result in different actions. Two people are broke, one gets a job and the other mugs someone. What a person actually does takes priority.

It's clear from everything with the scene. The very act of going out into an antarctic blizzard with no real way of escaping is evidence of suicide enough, but to add to it you have him remove his mask, which he constantly refers to as his real face, prior to his death as well as his tears, which is about the first time you see any emotion from him when he's an adult. His world view as Rorschach was breaking, and so before his death he became Kovacs again, a person with a human face and human emotions.
Him pleading, tears streaming down his face, with Manhattan to kill him when the latter clearly preferred a different outcome, adds the capstone.

It's funny to watch people complain about whatever boogieman is ruining superhero comics when they've literally been trash for 40 years.

Bullies enjoy the suffering of others. Yes, it makes them 'flat characters' when translated to fiction, because bullies generally -are- sadistic, ego-obsessed morons. Not going the dramatic psuedopsychological route of "ooh, they were abused" doesn't make an author lazy.

The issue with sadistic villains is that:
A sadist will act cowardly and retreat at the smallest sign of things not going their way. If they are only in it for the pleasure of torturing someone, they have no reason to fight
Very few people who aren't sadistic themselves would follow them, and any organization they lead will probably underperform.
They will also not be the best killers, mob bosses, or whatever, because if sadism is their main motivation, it will get in the way of efficiency.

completely back asswards.
rorschach's truman essay is the "cope", and its also completely fucking inane like kiritsugis "kill everyone for the greater good" philosophy.
rorschach dying for what he believes is stupid, like suicidal emiya throwing himself in front of a trolley to "save people" instead of making a decision or saving himself.
rorschach murderhoboing like he does, is based and redpilled like heavens feel shirou.
fuck "utilitarianism", just save yourself and the people you care about. if humanity nukes itself into oblivion in watchman-verse, who gives a shit, people who choose to do that to themselves fucking deserve it.

hiatus over when

Two months at the very least

Do you know of the back pain problem?

>rorschach murderhoboing like he does, is based and redpilled like heavens feel shirou.
HF Shirou wasn't a murderhobo, the Shirou who pursued the ideal and became Archer was a murderhobo who eventually got lynched. Fucking Fatefags, too much of a brainlet for philosophy, Watchman and their own series.

Haha, nah. People dont give that much of a shit

"Looking out for number one" is only a worthwhile philosophy if you are THE number 1. If you aren't the richest, strongest person in the world then you will always be at the mercy of someone stronger, or at the fates itself. In the Watchmen universe it wouldn't help any one one bit if they were only looking out for themselves, since once the nukes start flying, even if was just due to the decisions of a couple people, everyone will suffer the consequences.

>a sadist will be sadistic and nothing else
Because villains cant have prowess, intelligence or charisma

it's literally just a rip off of part of bokurano that's never given any of the same development

>villain just wants to be left alone

>It can't cope with actually difficult moral choices, which is why he commits suicide by Manhattan at the end.
he actually just still believed his friend was alive

>where he says he agrees with Truman's decision to drop the nukes on Japan because if he hadn't, more people would have died than did in the bombing. Who else's philosophy does that remind you of?
maybe he just knew literally anything about japanese war crimes

chink propaganda

>japanese war crimes
Be serious. Nobody cares about your fanfiction.

the most important thing is to not allow your reality to be predefined in the first place

Considering it's a big rip off of Kamen Rider Ryuki and toku and mecha go hand in hand I wouldn't be surprised if he lifted that too

>Very few people who aren't sadistic themselves would follow them, and any organization they lead will probably underperform.
uh have you heard of this guy called muhammad

>jam the tracks
>kills everybody on-board

why are actual nips posting on Yea Forums?

For the same reason koreans keep lying about "warcrimes".

but I may be able to save the people on the tracks, or maybe there's just a lot of injuries and no fatalities, or maybe I get to kill an entirely different set of people than what was predicted

when you have precognitive ability sometimes you just need to blow up all the probable timelines to branch to a new one that doesn't contain the disasters you know about, play that shit like stein's gate man

It would still go against the philosophy he espoused at the end of the series to support the bombing.

Assuming the villain's ONLY motivation is sadism, none of those would help him much. An assassin who is a no-nonsense professional who just wants to get the job done will naturally perform better than some guy of equal skill and smarts who is into assassination to get off to his victims' screams or whatever.

And if the guy is running some mafia, army, or empire, he is just going to underperform compared to any rivals, and maybe even end up murdered by one of his underlings because money that could be distributed among the organization members is wasted by a leader who pointlessly kills underlings, tortures slaves or burns villages for lulz.

Based

Can't say I know his full biography, but given that he got shit down besides taking lunch money or murdering half a dozen people, I believe he probably wanted power and recognition far more than he enjoyed other people's pain.

Incels be like.

ROsarch is fucking based

>Become god
Hao is fine, he was crying for mommy all that time but still holds all power and ideals

His motives for everything he's doing has made him from interesting to my least favorite character.

that's not even a scientific idea, that's what a 12 years old would come up with. I love seeing the marvel movie fans suck his cock. Their stories are so shit that a half-characterized villain is such a revolution to them.

I prefer to think of this user as the hero

This

What spectacular fall from a terrifying monster to a pathetic jobber to an even more pathetic basedboy triggered by a comment a literally janny made to his dad. At least Eren's making up the difference in consummate villainy

Wasn't he a robot?

you seriously believe he cut a dude's head off and raped his wife right there because it was strategically sound in his mind

And chinks. And mongols. And 'namese. And slavs. And natives.
