That they're pathetic, slimy, cruel, no-good characters. That's kinda the point. The dashingly handsome hero gets imprisoned and victimised by cowardly guards, who wouldn't dare pick a fight with him if he had his hands free. Then - when he inevitably escapes - he kills/humiliates (depending on the film's rating) a few of them on his way out.canadamus_prime said:What does that say about guards in fantasy fiction, films, and games then?MetalMagpie said:I thought that was the way all guards in fantasy fiction/films/games get their kickscanadamus_prime said:Does anyone else realize how pathetic those guards are when the only way they can get their kicks is by beating on people who can't hit back.

I'm sure there's a comment here about unfair stereotyping of prison wardens...
