I love that Worf made this list, haha.
He’s not sure why he’s here
He is the definition of absentee father sending his kid off to be raised by his human grandparents and rarely if ever speaking of him. And when his kid is understandably upset about it Worf gets pissy at his son for having emotions about it.
Missed one.
You know you start one or two (possibly more) apocalypses centered around your severely neglected son piloting a giant proto-being super robot that traumatizes him nearly every time he gets into it all in the hopes of turning your wife-clone daughter who you spend creepy amounts of alone time with into a conduit for contacting your dead wife who’s soul may or may not have been absorbed into said robot thereby recreating her into a death goddess who absorbs the souls of everyone on earth suddenly everybody thinks your a bad father.
Man, life just isn’t fair, is it?
Who is this? 😅
Gendo Ikari, dad of Shinji Ikari from Neon Genesis Evangelion
Thank you!
Who’s the middle left one?
It’s from Full Metal Alchemist. His name is Shou Tucker.
Doesn’t hit as well without the full episode context:
Trust me, if you really don’t know, it’s best to keep not knowing. The worst of the bunch, no doubt.
Well, Chronos is there too…
So, let’s make it a tie.
Its from Full Metal Alchemist. Dude fuses his daughter with her pet dog… I’ll just stop there.
You said too much.
Play?
A man so caught up in scientific inquiry and progress that he cares not for the people in his life, who he’s obligated to protect. He fuses his daughter with his dog, proclaiming his great achievement while the new chimera begs for death to be put out of its misery.
The show explores subverting rules of the universe, life and death to a degree.
Honestly, Vader’s probably the best one up there, even before his face turn at the end of Jedi. When he finds out his son is alive, the first thing he does is seek him out and try to get him to join the family business. Sure, they have a tense conversation which doesn’t end…great, but at least he’s trying to reach out. Compare that to Worf, who seems to genuinely hate his kid and spends the better part of two shows pawning him off on other people, and it’s not even close.
My father taught me to make sure I would never have to rely on him.
It just kinda struck me that simply adding the word “how” right after “me” completely changes the quality of the dad
Longest day of the year
I honestly don’t think even Vader and Tywin deserve association with Shou Tucker and Cronos
Cronus gets a bad rap. A prophecy said that one of his children was going to rise up against him. That is self defense.
“By mandate of the Titan Succession Protocol, Subject ‘Zeus’ has been flagged for immediate neutralization. Probability of overthrow: 99.8%. Remediation strategy: Biological reclamation. Note: Emotional variables are irrelevant to outcome efficiency. Proceed with ingestion. File closure expected upon digestion.”
“You think you can hide a prophecy in the dark, Cronus? Swallowing them whole doesn’t make the future disappear; it just digests the evidence. The precogs don’t lie. They saw you holding the stone instead of the boy. You didn’t stop the overthrow; you just guaranteed the one who got away would come back hungry. You’re not a god, you’re just another pre-criminal waiting for the halo to drop.” ~John Anderton Minority Report, Greek Mythology Division
bottom right? i was thinking the tsar that killed his son at first but no i remember his face was very shocked
That is “Saturn devouring his children” I believe by Goya.
While like someone said this is Saturn, you’re probably thinking of “Ivan The Terrible and His Son Ivan” by Ilya Repin. God I love that painting. The history is horrifying but the emotion captured in his eyes is just masterful
I think its saturn - devouring his own son.
Omni Man would fit well here
Tbh the comments here are completely expected from the Lemmy crowd
