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.

      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!

    Sheogorath from elder scrolls is a fan favorite, but I’d hazard to say no one wants to live in a universe with a cheese obsessed mad god that regularly dicks with humans for fun.

      Sheohorath gets pretty fucking dark.

      At that same moment, a young woman nearby commented wistfully to herself, “The sounds of the birds are so beautiful.”

      Sheogorath silently agreed with her. Mortals could not make the beautiful and inspired calls of birds. Their voices were wretched and mundane. He could not change the nature of mortals, for that was the purview of other Daedric Princes. However, he could give them tools to make beautiful sounds.

      Sheogorath took hold of the petulant woman and ripped her asunder. From her tendons he made lutes. From her skull and arm bones he made a drum. From her bones he made flutes. He presented these gifts to the mortals, and thus Music was born.

        I was genuine, but given the state of the world today I think an unstable deity of madness and whimsy periodically gifting insane relics and literal mental illnesses to people probably wouldn’t even be in the top 30.

          My biggest problem with someone like Sheogorath is that he can just create a planet sized object at will and there’s nothing anyone could do to stop him

      What’s wrong with having your adventure buddy randomly stop, stare into space and ask the most obvious questions and act like she got an answer?

    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.

    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.

      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.

    Handsome Jack. Hilarious, beloved villain but anyone would want to punch his smug face in if they actually met him.
