Have you ever played the type of hero that's in a similar vein to heroes like Prince Hans (Frozen), Gaston (Beauty and the Beast) and Homelander (The Boys)?
Have you ever played the type of hero that's in a similar vein to heroes like Prince Hans (Frozen), Gaston (Beauty and the Beast) and Homelander ...
So a villain? Yeah, I'm playing a CE character now. Worst character I've ever played in my life.
Elaborate
>Psychotic murderhobo who mercilessly slaughters anyone he fights and revels in it
>Wants to become a god and kill all the other gods
>Wants to genocide an entire race just because they wronged him (it's his own race btw)
Not to mention he's a spellcaster, so I can't even fall back on the gameplay. The character is unfun, the gameplay is unfun, I'm just straight up not having a good time.
Not gonna lie, I'd personally have a lot of fun with that character. He sounds cool af.
Then you are a sick individual who should seek mental help.
Maybe. One of my personal heroes is Pablo Escobar.
Pablo Escobar did wonders for the world's hippo population.
>t. no-game that has no idea how TTRPGs operate
I'm the guy playing the CE character and our party is NOT good-aligned, we're all some manner of neutral or further down other than the newest guy who's a friend of mine but new to TTRPGs (he also helps me playtest my own TTRPG on off weeks though so before you get riled up on MUH NEW PEOPLE ONLY PLAYING 5E shove off, that game has more in common with Exalted than DND) who's like CG or NG and has yet to experience my character's horrific deeds firsthand.
Still, it's just that I don't get off on slaughtering pretend innocents (or real innocents for that matter) or being a piece of shit, I usually tend to NG or LG characters, leaning towards Good over the other alignment half but I thought it might be interesting to try something new. I was wrong, mechanically the character isn't fun (I hate spellcasters/magic users/ranged martials/casters in any system, find them boring to play and too easily cucked by the GM just making enemies immune to/resistant to the magic you use which is what has happened here though unintentionally on the GM's part and now that we've managed to get an in-universe reason why it is it makes sense) so I'm doubly out of my element.
Ever hear of an evil party?
Perhaps consider reading a book and turning off the Disney+
Not me but we have basically a female Homelander
PC in our game.
Nice
>Hans
>Homelander
>Heroes
classical heroism, not modern capeshit propaganda "daddy govt gud, self actualization bad" '''''''''heroism'''''''''
My knowledge on Homelander is somewhat limited but isn't he q massive narcissist that only does good because he enjoys more or less being a god among ants, and would be just as happy killing every human on the planet?
As for Prince Hans, he attempts regicide on Elsa and intends to usurp the throne from Anna, which is far more cowardly than it is heroic, regardless of the failings of either as a ruler.
>that only does good
Except he does nothing good, ever. It's all just one PR stunt after another, while he's a murderous psycho.
>As for Prince Hans, he attempts regicide on Elsa and intends to usurp the throne from Anna, which is far more cowardly than it is heroic, regardless of the failings of either as a ruler.
Not to mention it was famously shoehorned into the plot after the writers had to rewrite the script, so it doesn't even work at full capacity.
was it before they removed the yuri/wincest?
I swear the only good thing to come out of that movie, and most of recent Disney, is porn where they get fricking vored
Wait what? give deets pls
Frozen is based on the story of the Snow Queen, so in the original draft of the script, Elsa was supposed to be the villain. Even after making Elsa and Anna sisters, Elsa still would've been the villain.
Then they recorded "Let It Go".
The song was supposed to be Elsa's villain song (it's a song about running away from your responsibilities and rationalizing that behavior, not a song about self-actualization). Given the nature of the recording, they decided to rewrite the movie so they can get non-evil Elsa and make a story about family love, not romantic love as is typical of Disney up to that point. But now the film doesn't have a villain, so they shanghai'd Prince Hans into being the surprise twist villain.
They had to take a crowbar to the narrative because of it, but they got to keep their award-winning song (lest we forget "Let It Go" won the Oscar for song of the year).
You may not like it, but it paid off. Frozen was massively more successful than it had any right to be, like, it might be the most undeservedly successful movie ever made.
To be honestly let it go is unironically a catchy song. Though now hearing it makes me want to violently murder small children because of how many times I’ve heard it
>nooo, we can't give the villain a happy and upbeat song, or our dumbass public will not understand that it's a villain!
Disney truly is the heat death of storytelling, huh
I guess villains don't sing ballads.
>ballads
how would you classify Be Prepared? A bolero?
What about this?
Anything's a bolero if it's 4/4 time and involves guitars if you're brave enough.
bad thing good
good thing bad
i am based and redpilled pls gib me attention
Sorry, I'm a blind homosexual and quoted the wrong post. I was replying to
case in point
Makes sense, whenever the villain gets to sing it's the best song on the soundtrack.
Classical heroism still has the heroes possess specific character traits which make them heroes dumbass. Homelander is just a whiny baby given superpowers in a test tube.
Homelander is literally a corporate attack dog that’s barely on his leash trying to become a government attack dog. Hans is a backbiter which no one has ever considered heroic. Even by Ancient Greek standards where heroes could do tons of morally dubious shit by todays standards they would be b***h boys.
Anon proudly announces he has no fricking clue what he's talking about.
Now everyone point and laugh.
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, hoo, hoooo.
Heroes are supposed to be morally good. if they are bad people then they aren't heroes.
simple as
t. slave moralist
t. prick
Friendly reminder your heroine advocating for ubermensch doing what he want to and respecting nobody but self spend her ENTIRE FRICKING LIFE being the moocher she was so virulently against, living off food coupons and governmental dole.
I'm just not a psychopath/sociopath like (you). I can live my best life without infringing on the rights of others.
>self actualization bad
If your idea of "self-actualization" involves trampling on others in any capacity, you are not a hero.
They are heroes in their own way I guess
What a monumental waste of double trips of 3
... and this is a thread shilling for said capeshit, so your point being...?
alrighty then who am I to argue with hexs
Have you tried not watching capeshit?
Only one thing mentioned is capeshit.
Outside of Duke Nukem, a bullheaded braggart is not typically presented as a hero.
That's not true. It's a very popular archetype.
as proved by the example you posted, popular character Dudelad Warhammerman, which we all know and love all too well. Can't even get groceries without seeing some Dudelad merchandise. Good old Dudelad.
>t. schizo
Exalted is literally made for playing these kinds of heroes. It's pretty much the only kind of hero you can be in Exalted.
What a convoluted bait post... is this an advertisement? Its too weird
Blue is the color of good
>Capeshit and Didney garbage
No, and you should feel bad
