The Good Guys

[Caffeine_Bombed]

I'd say Kratos was more of an anti-hero.

well he's still a protagonist he may be an ass but its not required that they be good

...In short: an ANTI-HERO.

yep but he's still the protagonist unless they changed the meaning of the word was i wasn't looking

The point is antiheroes are different in that they often commit 'bad' acts but are not necessarily evil and can often have noble intentions. It sets them apart from the more general meaning of 'protagonist'.

Eg: Kratos is hero/protagonist of God Of War but he's basically just out for revenge.

I imagine whoever created the term was thinking "Hey, wouldn't it be easier if we could describe these people in just one word?"
Apparently he was wrong.

Peeping Kratos is the best part of this comic. By FAR.

Although the protagonist is often referred to as the "good guy", it is entirely possible for a story's protagonist to be the clear villain, or antihero, of the piece. from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protagonist

Erin was smiling in the second to last panel. I think she's starting to get over her initial wariness of this guy.

Alright, Cory and Grey, be straight with us. You guys just made this arc to repeatedly draw hilarious scenes involving Kratos. Admit it.

Kratos is my idol, I say hello to people by ripping off their limbs

Which would actually be an anti-villain...

i have the feeling your dismissing this stuff don't act like zeel did.

 

[Mylinkay Asdara]

I like this bar-guy. Can we keep him around?

 

[mattinkent]

Yeah, is she going to fuck him or what?

He's put his time in and I think she could do with some.

Maybe that will scare the hallucinations away?

Wow, you're being incredibly rude. And also wrong. The protagonist of a piece can be a straight up villain, which would disqualify him from being an Anti-Villain. For example, The Joker has had comics with him as the viewpoint character. A Song of Ice and Fire has several clearly villainous and evil characters as viewpoints - Cersei Lannister, most notably. There's an episode of Justice League Unlimited that is told primarily from the viewpoint of Lex Luthor. If I gave more than .3 shits, I could find more.
