Why this character is not that awesome.

[Nieroshai]

Cthulhu

i was not aware Cthulhu was 'awesome' or 'bad ass'

A lot of people think he is. I think the idea is pretty cool, but he isn't an unstoppable beast like people believe he is.

>.> i see, i always saw it as a stupid looking squid monster thing, a mid boss at best basically, or a tougher normal enemy, ya know, the kinda thing you flatten an move on

The whole idea is he sends of waves of terror and can psychically influence people. It's not that it has any genuine physical might, Cthulhu just has the suerpower of being able to drive any living creature to the nuthouse.

 

[Legion]

Another way he is a selfish prick is how he won't kill because that would corrupt him.Last time I checked peoples lives are more important than your feelings and he KNOWS the joker is gonna make another (insert contraption thats only weakness is a batarang here) and be back next week.

I don't so much agree with your other points about him, but I do this one. If he truly cares about saving lives then he wouldn't keep arresting the same mass murderers over and over again when they keep breaking lose to kill yet more people.

Kira/Light Yagami

Indeed. I could see him being okay at first, when it was only serious criminals, but after that he isn't redeemable in the slightest.

Suzaku Kururugi


hes hypocritical, condemns self righteousness even though he is(only one example)
fights against his friend the whole series then joins him even though he is only alive because of said friend.

Indeed. He is a complete tool. He claims he fights to stop people dying and his way of doing this is to murder his fellow countrymen. Whereas if he just stole the Lancelot and fought against Brittania he would not only be completing his goal, but he would be helping save his people.

Commander Shepard from Mass Effect.
Yes, I said it.

True enough, but I haven't ever seen anybody praise him as a badass or awesome character so does he really count?

He is, like you say, more of an avatar for the player.

Deadpool.

He's pretty awesome, but every voice actor that has ever done him has had an annoying voice. I imagine him with sortof a cockney thing going.

Isn't he Canadian? He's definitely not English anyway.

he is, but I imagine nearly all fictional characters to be British(despite the fact that I'm Aussie)

Zero from the Megan Man X games is not awesome, and here's why:
It's basically the Mega Man equivalent of Darth Vader's infamous "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" With just one line they killed any amount of awesomeness the character once had.

And let's not even get into Dr. Light:
"Be vewwy quiet, I'm hunting Dr. Wahwee."

I know he looks cool and all, but am I wrong, or wasn't the whole point of Rorschach that he's an unstable sociopath and a right wing nut job? (In fact, his favourite magazine is basically FOX News on paper) So why do so many people love him?

i think its cause he resorts to violence first. you don't get that a lot in "super" heroes. though the watchmen series is satire of superheroes so \/

My money is on Boba Fett as well.

few lines in the movies, and dies the most unceremonious death.

on that note, the same applies to "Ghost" Riley of the Modern Warfare series <.<

im hoping that scene was more epic in its native japanese. Thats just some terrible terrible voice acting ::cringe::
