I was running through some old Portal 2 quotes in my head and realized that it Cave Johnson were a real person, people would absolutely hate him.
Tony Stark would be controversial. A billionaire weapons dealer who indirectly killed millions of people with his weapons. Then he turns around and decides to be a superhero but continues to cause destruction and inadvertently kill people. A lot of people would think he’s only doing heroic acts for the praise.
In the comics and movies defense, within universe he is controversial and it is a major plot point with the Sokovia Accords / Registration Act to put some guardrails around him. And in terms of character growth, he supports those laws, even though they restrict his autonomy, whereas a younger version of himself wouldn’t comply and act as a reckless narcissist.
Donald J. Trump, the fictional character in Home Alone. Dude gave me the creeps, was looking at the underage Kevin like he was a pacifier
He’s widely loved?
The mentally deficient think he’s great
No they hate him so much, they elected him twice.
I mean… Yeah? In America, by the wrong sort of people, but… Yeah?
As a character in the film, no. He was barely even a character.
Sheldon Cooper. Not sure if people love him as a fictional character either though…
Captain! Jack Sparrow. Fun to watch and wonder how much he plans or if he’s just good at improv. But he’s routinely sacrificing his crew-members/friends for his own advantage.
Do you think Pokémon battles should be illegal, Ash?
No, of course not
Your pikachu is lying in a puddle of its blood.
We provide work for every town. Joy would be out of her nursing job if not for us.
Barney Stinson is a creep whose actions border on rape and it was hinted he may have even been involved in human trafficking at one point
The main characters of ‘Friends’, perhaps excluding Phoebe Buffay. Once you try to figure out their morals, it’s baffling how they can be considered even half decent people.
As much as I love Friends, the show had a bad habit of loosening the character’s manners and morals for the sake of a joke. This habit gets worse as the show goes on.
I’d actually put Phoebe as the worst in this regard. Well, after the triplets and London, before that she was sweeter. It was like the writers decided she should inherit the meaner jokes from Chandler. Also she always lets the others down at the worst times.
Jesus
Pretty sure that was the story arc in the original series
Pete “Maverick” Mitchell.
Dude should’ve been cashiered and tossed in jail a long time ago.
Raphaël Ambrosius Costeau. AKA Harry Dubois.
If he was real, at best he’d be kind of pathetic; at worst he’s a horribly disturbed, sexist, racist, homophobic drug addicted alcoholic. With a gun.
The Emperor of Mankind from Warhammer 40k. We’re supposed to root for his enlightened rationalism in contrast to what the imperium would become, but he comes across as an expansionist tyrant.
This movie was a wild ride. Every bit as awful as you’d expect. Highly recommend watching it illegally. That’s a joke. Haha.
Yes, of course, a joke. Haha
Handsome Jack. Hilarious, beloved villain but anyone would want to punch his smug face in if they actually met him.
Mr Rochester (abuser), Heathcliff (abuser), Colonel Brandon (pedophile).
Jesus
Jesus would probably get on my nerves.
He never called people by their names and gave them weird nicknames and spoke in riddles like a guy who fried his brain on weed and LSD in college during an ethics class.
Jesus with the caviat of who specifically would hate him.
People would hate the real time moralising, but would love free wine and would be amazed by his party tricks, like walking on water. That was pretty cool!
