Punisher is the most obvious example imo. The original creator has even spoken out against chuds appropriating the character

Yeah came out when I was a junior in high school and I have always really enjoyed it. I know the guy is not a good person but man at the beginning of that movie when he is in his vehicle sweating his ass off in traffic and just loses it and walks away from his vehicle I always laugh because I get really irritated when I'm hot and borderline about ready to lose my shit and I identified with that moment so much haha.

Fictional in universe vigilante who is unique from many of the other marvel characters in his actions while at the same time having said actions also putting him in conflict with other superheroes and with a depressing as fuck backstory on top of it
VERSUS:
Real life vigilantes that just shoot a dude and slap a skull on their car
Gee, I wonder why one is considered interesting while the other isn't.

To not idolize him as a hero. You can enjoy him as a character and the narratives that come out of having this character that exists outside the law and acts as judge, jury, and executioner. But too many people see him as aspirational.

Generally people disillusioned with the justice system.

If there's some people committing heinous crimes which goes unpunished for being above the law, people would sooner wish for a Punisher than a Batman.

I mean, just look at how people think of Luigi.

Rick Sanchez

I watch Rick and Morty every night to go to bed, is Rick really that toxic or a force on the internet? Do people not realize how big of an asshole he is when they watch the show? Part of the story is him going to therapy and really working on himself even.

I am asking because I have seen him brought up on lists like this a lot, and often wonder why.

You can like a character without idolizing them.

I think Emperor Palpatine is a fantastic character; doesn't mean I'd actually want to emulate his actions.

I think they do, but they don't care.

On the other hand, I saw people saying that Evil Morty isn't really evil even considering the amount of people he killed and tortured for his plans. So I dunno.

Hes one of my faves but that has nothing to do with his character or morals, I just like how much of a badass he is going against all these super pwoered people with just guns and smarts, same reason I like Batman, but I like Batman as a character too.

I feel that way for most of these characters. I've rarely if ever seen someone actually idolizing them, but there are plenty of people complaining about people idolizing them.

Im not sure I remember seeing an analisys of the series and they brought up the creators doing an episode of a certain character and having to shit on him because people were actually into him and that is the exact opposite of what they wanted to convey. But i havent actually watched the show so im not sure who that was because it sbeen a while

Rorschach from Watchmen. Some people think he is a character to be admired or aspired to, when he really isn't.

Moore made him to be deeply fucked up and also cool as shit. He knows what he did, there are multiple scenes where Rorschach is in charge and kicking ass. He is also principled to the point of being willing to die rather than be complicit in a cover-up, which is admirable even if you disagree with his position.

Many A:TLA fans like to paint Azula as a "tragic figure" when in reality she was a straight up psychopath. Yes, she was the victim of her father's horrible upbringing, but trying to paint her in a sympathetic light by justifying her villainous actions is insane. She is a great antagonist who was still complex and multi-faceted and she should remain just that.
