All gods that aren't Zamorak in RuneScape.

You're thinking about it wrongly. Saradomin isn't the god of good, he is the god of order. Essentially, his alignment is Lawful, tending towards Good, but always Lawful (read Betrayal at Falador and you'll agree a lot more). However, I will agree with you with how he'd team up with Zamorak in the middle of the God Wars to destroy the remnants of Zaros' empire.
Also, Guthix always seemed like kind of a good guy, as did Icthlarin, despite being the god of freaking death. Amascut is a ***** though.

Zaros now seems like an anti-hero that is oddly non-evil, after the quest Temple at Senntisten. If you haven't done that quest, DO IT.

In games, I'd never know. Only the ones in comics stand out to me.

American: Red Hood (Jason Todd) seems to think he's a good guy, but to me, he's evil. Same for The Punisher.

Japanese: Lina Inverse from Slayers & Gokudo from... well, Gokudo.

 

[ryai458]

heroes from fallout 3, fable 2, mass effecr, bioshock, basically anything with morality choices.

 

[Guitar Gamer]

Light Yagami.

Proving to us all that the only way to have a peaceful world is to kill everyone who is a troublemaker.

Yeah, how'd that work out for him?

I'd like to nominate Marche from Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. He finds himself in a dreamworld where all his friends have the one thing they wanted most - his crippled brother has functional legs, his downtrodden friend is the highest authority in all the land, he himself has confidence. He interacts with the denizens of this dreamworld on a daily basis, and finds that they're as deep and real as the people back home, with thoughts and feelings and aspirations of their own.

And what does he do? He tries to get back home, despite having everything he's ever wanted.

He discovers that the only way to do this is to destroy the Macguffins holding the world of Ivalice together. They're literally called The World Thread. Whenever he encounters anyone else from his old home, they beg him to stop, to stay here, where they're happy. People who are aware of The World Thread beg him to not destroy their world.

Does he listen? Fuck no, you're coming home. Doned, better say goodbye to your legs, 'cos you're going back to the wheelchair. Mewt? I know you miss your dead mum and wish your dad wasn't such a depressed loser, but it's time to bid them adieu. Cid? Try not to kill your son out of neglect when we're back home, kay?

well I sure as hell hope your leaving something from that world out because I would seriously kill that guy before he destroys my dream world, of course if was a dream world I could will him to stop, I don't care if your my friend from the real world right here your trying to take away my confidence and aspirations

 

[Azure-Supernova]

Nathan Drake, all those bullet wounds and broken necks for a wee bit of gold or a sapphire... wow

 

[HaruHearts]

There's Batman...

[http://s20.photobucket.com/albums/b217/strangething/?action=view&current=batman-alignment-chart.jpg]

... Well, okay, Batman's evil isn't all that odd.

Batman is just a rich guy who likes to beat the hell out of the poor folk.

 

[NIHILHATE]

Lara Croft (Tiger slaughtering *****) and the Jedi.

 

[ButanicXpandA]

The comedian from watchmen, he killed kids in Nam'

 

[Axeli]

Protagonist is not the same as hero, seeing as it's perfectly possible to tell a story from the villains perspective.
Death Note does that even without sympathising with Light.

Sora, not in the sense that the others in this thread are. Unintentionally helps Organization XII quite a bit.

Jack in Bioshock, even though he really had no power over his actions, well unless you played evil in which case he is doubley so.

I wouldn't say that makes them evil at all, seeing how they have could have not known their seemingly good actions played right into the real villains' hands. They are just manipulated, not evil.

However, Sora seems a bit evil in Chain of Memories. Granted, he's being slowly brainwashed by memory manipulation, but he's still Sora in personality. Basically, it begins to seem that he would literally stop at nothing to save Namine and is acutally quick to attack anyone who seems to be threat to her without asking any questions. This is after he finds out that his memories of her are false.

 

[antidonkey]

what heroes can you think of, from whatever, that unintentionally come off as slightly evil~?

i would say Ash from Pokemon. he's always trying to defeat team rocket, even when team rocket is doing nothing wrong, is practically defenseless, and sometimes even asking for mercy~

Pretty much anymore from the Pokemon universe really. Afterall, they're capturing animals and forcing them to for their amusment. There's laws in most countries regarding that type of behavior. Just ask Michael Vick.

 

[Toaster Hunter]

Kratos. He's not good. The people he fights are just more evil.

 

[Azure Sky]

*Thinking of something at least semi-original*

Dias Flac from the Star Ocean series maybe?

 

[lee1287]

loll. funny thread.

erm. im not sure.

Ezio audiotore? fail spelling i know.

i killed alot of civvies with him.

 

[lodo_bear]

Coop from Megas XLR [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MegasXLR]. Everything that goes wrong in that show is Coop's fault.

ETA: Sparta from 300. Don't believe Frank Miller's propaganda; those guys were jerks who liked enslaving and oppressing people just as much as Persia.

 

[Dr. Paine]

All gods that aren't Zamorak in RuneScape.

Zamorak is THE evil god.

Just gotta say it; Eragon.

In the movie, yes, I'll give you that, but read the book, in there, he's an entirely different character.

No, not really, I've read the books (to a degree. Read the first one, got halfway through the second, skimmed the third. But I have friends who've given me the story I've missed, as well as reading the wikis and various sporkings). He's still far from convincing me he's the good guy, or anyone in the resistance is.

Indeed, I actually like the books (*gasp*), but Eragon really isn't a likable character in the first two books, then in the third he's less annoying, but much more of a sociopath.

I enjoyed the books so far, and how exactly is he unlikeable in the first two?

Quote honestly, because he acts like a teenager. He's pigheaded, he's rude, and he's incredibly dumb at times.

And it's just made worse by how the author keeps trying to make him act like a saintly adult and people are constantly fawning over him.

 

[Beardon65]

DEADPOOL WINS!!! Yeah I nominate Deadpool. Although he is considered more neutral than good he has:
Stolen Agent X's pancreas.
Shoruyken punched Kitty Prime.
and shot up alot of people, both good and bad.

That's theft, assault and murder. I'm sure he's done more than that of course, but you see my point.

it actually worked really well for a while, until light got overconfident.

 

[AWC Viper]

that guy from "the watchmen" the one from the start and who light's his cigar in vietnam with a flamethrower.


probably ninja'd
