Top 5 Asshole Main Characters We're Supposed to Root for

5

Vincent Brooks

(Catherine)

There’s not much room for argument. Not only was Vincent already a manboy allergic to responsibilities, but he cheats repeatedly on his girlfriend and continues to do so because he’s too afraid to break with either Catherine or Katherine. What a wimp.

Bruce Wayne

(Batman Arkham Series) 

Much has been said about the dual moral nature of a hero that does not kill, thus enabling villains like to joker to break out of prison and kill even more innocent bystanders. But that’s not what I mean here. This fucker. This little fucker wanted to go to the theater. And he had to go at night. To the theater right next to an alley called CRIME ALLEY. What could possibly go wrong, huh? Seriously, Bruce Wayne could’ve had a private theater built just for him but nooo.

Nathan Drake

(Uncharted Series) 

Whaaat? He’s a good guy, right? Right? No, dead fucking wrong. He suffers from the pathological Tomb Raider syndrome. This psycho murders hundreds of people on a single day just to get his hands on some clue or artifact and promptly destroys culturally invaluable temples, thus getting rid of any evidence of his crimes. If you see this guy, run in the opposite direction.

James Sunderland

(Silent Hill 2)

Oh, your dead wife sends you a letter to meet you in Silent Hill. Did it ever occur to you that it might be some sort of post-mortem prank? And did you know your own wife so little that you literally wandered around the whole town looking for your special place because you weren’t sure what it was? And did you happen to forget that you fucking killed her in the first place? Geez, what a thick motherfucker.

And number one goes tooooo....

Cloud Strife

(Final Fantasy VII)

Yes, you heard me right, ya bunch of misty-eyed fangirls, Cloud is a dick. As a member of the terrorist group Avalanche, he spent most of the first disc blowing up half the city, for money. Literally. And it’s not like there are no repercussions. Denzel is even an orphan because Shinra destroys sector 7 trying to take Avalanche out, and Avalanche had already caused similar damage to sectors 1 and 5. How many people you think you killed, you spikey-haired dickhead orphan-maker?


Now, just a disclaimer: I don't hate any of these characters (except maybe James Sunderland, that dick). This is just supposed to by an entertaining top 5, poking fun at how we're supposed to relate to characters that are sometimes silly, and sometimes douchebagy

Also, if you think I missed any character or have an idea for a cool (or incredibly specific and unlikely) top 5, just let me know in the comments. Thanks!
