The Usual Suspects
<spoiler=serious question under here>Why is he the bad guy when he saves the world?
Surely the small minded world leaders are the true bad guys as they relentlessly pursue a path towards destruction that leaves a good man no choice but to do something unspeakably evil. Or perhaps even the 'heroes' who put all their strength in maintaining the status quo that is spiralling the human race towards it's own extinction.
Ozzy didn't have much choice as the tanks were already rolling into Pakistan, in 'our' history that never happened, so who's to say where it would have ended without his intervention.

Upham's no coward, he's a typist, he was never expecting or trained to go into combat. All things considered he did pretty well.Saintcole said:

I am not so sure about Braveheart. It depends how you look at it. Henry Longshanks really didn't win. I think Princess Isabelle may have come out on top on that one.Jinjiro said:
Also, you could look at One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest that Mwako Cumbuka's "Warren" character won. Just because the hero dies doesn't mean the bad guys win.

Night of the living dead?`
Then again, even if all the main characters gets killed off, they sort of manage to clear out the zombies. Oh, and Dawn of the Dead too now that I think about it. Hmm, 28 weeks later aswell.. Zombies really know how to win, don't they?
