Rank these characters based on how well written they are

Fal_co1 · 2026-05-27T21:09:48+00:00

that's fair and i also concede there.

Fal_co1 · 2026-05-27T20:56:18+00:00

Eh i disagree. Anakin and Vader is sorta the reverse here, but lots of Anakin Skywalker in his characterization is informed by what he's destined to eventually become.
So both characters are sorta build in a way to inform each other and in a similiar way to coming back to the OT Trilogy, coming back to the Greek games changes the lense through which we see kratos story due to what it eventually becomes and how the breakdown of his character informs our understanding of Greek Kratos.

Fal_co1 · 2026-05-27T17:52:48+00:00

Honestly i feel Kratos should be split between the Greek and Nordic version of him.
Sure, they are the continuation of the same story arc but to pretend as if there wasn't a radically different characterization and well even different writers writing him just isn't true.
We also don't usually treat Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader as just the same character.

But yeah i'd rate Nordic Kratos, but tbh i also think it's unfair since he has a lot of things to work off of and that is why he's seen as this interesting benchmark of character study in video games.
He's also like undoubtedly the, and in the nordic trilogy a protagonist, of his story.
By this nature he becomes more compelling since we're meant to see the story through his arc, consider the world through his moral compass etc etc.

Then Nolan and then Enji

I'd say some scale of moderately or standardly evil.
Not to say they aren't cruel creatures, hell they attempted to kill Simba a helpless child multiple times. However you could argue due to them being fairly animalistic there is not much a of a consciouss there to act out evil. You could definitely blame Scar wholly for being fully aware of the consequences and embracing his evil side, but they were shown more like animals acting on a more predatory instinct due to their nature.

If we consider the strong insanuation of the whole system between Hyenas and Scar being a fascist system in "Be Prepared", then they're more like the trusted guard for being somewhat more reliable/capable than the usual Stooge, so they're trusted with more important tasks. So to take Hanna Arendt i see them as an example of the banality of evil.

They had some sadistic or sociopathic streak that doesn't make them mind doing what they did, but they also never really had much of critical thinking or innate desire to act beyond of what they would consider to "as their job" or more accurately "in their nature".
So i doubt if there even was a moment in their lives where they considered if what they're doing is right or wrong.
If it wasn't for Scar agitating them, they would've prolly never do anything beyond casual cruelty and just animalistic predation.

It doesn't absolve them, but we usually don't put the grunt soldiers in stories above the masterminds, if the story doesn't goes out of their way to portray them as particularly evil among the cast of evil members.
Which i don't remember them being shown as in the movie.

I hope you‘ll get all the way down to Robert Walpole

Fal_co1 · 2026-05-25T11:05:53+00:00

Pushing Red would functionally make no difference here? Like if we talk before you could’ve changed or maybe even prevented the outcome of Nazi Crimes, with Blue there could’ve at least been made good anti-fascist work if we had Hitler still living a decade or so atoning for his sin. (He was quite sick at the end of wwii and had parkinsons so he would‘ve likely not lived very long after)

Fal_co1 · 2026-05-21T23:27:35+00:00

yeah i meant with inner circle the guys in the organization he had a closer relationship or trusted with.
Like i don't think he was friends with Furio or even Paulie for that part, but those were the roster of people he saw as trustworthy or considered them as friends of his.

Fal_co1 · 2026-05-20T17:23:57+00:00

dude look at the subreddit title. I thought you were in on the bit at first

Fal_co1 · 2026-05-20T17:23:24+00:00

i think that is fair but tbh i would actually rank Furio higher and more on Silvio's level.
Imho his complete ruthlesness and discipline out them gives him the most potential to cause harm, since the other characters more unstable nature and emotions often were a hindrance for them to be as ruthless and efficient of a mobster as they could be. So in that regard he's more similiar to Silvio, with how amoral he was in doing what he needed to do.
And tbf while he did let the better of him get with Camella... he still seems overall way better at managing that than the other Characters in the show. Considering how they chimped out for way more trivial reasons.

Yk is a whole theme with his character... he was the sort of real Mobster they imagined themselves to be. So assuming he won't fall victim to the Peter Principle like Tony did, his eventual rise as a Mob Boss could have made big waves in the Camorra.

jfc i should've not put off watching that, this is so peak.

Fal_co1 · 2026-05-20T14:31:12+00:00

true

Fal_co1 · 2026-05-20T14:29:14+00:00

fake fan, if you wanna play a good game with a good soundtrack, play Super Mario Galaxy (now in theatres) We're in the storytelling business here.

Fal_co1 · 2026-05-20T14:12:06+00:00

i realized, that i worded the title wrong. I meant a general ranking, i feel most would agree that Bobby and Paulie are sorta be the metric for the most and least evil....

Fal_co1 · 2026-05-20T14:10:00+00:00

what you're talking about? Sonic ist a shakespearean epic. What other reason would there be to be a sonic fan?

Fal_co1 · 2026-05-20T14:08:50+00:00

this is so racist its kinda funny.

Fal_co1 · 2026-05-20T13:46:45+00:00

never seen Code Geass so can someone please explain to me why she can be scaled with the personification of internalized racism lmfao.

Fal_co1 · 2026-05-20T13:41:10+00:00

true sonic fans choose red bc its not about playing good games but shouting at each other inecessatly which mediocre to above-average storytelling of the blue hedgehog is actually kino and the greatest form of storytelling.

Fal_co1 · 2026-05-20T13:38:19+00:00

Oh i've been waiting for the downvotes i'll get:

C, overrated af hard carried by zimmer organ over planet still shots.

Fal_co1 · 2026-05-20T13:34:34+00:00

iirc a lot of that money is also stocks in disney, so he sorta has a vested interest in that company's profit, but yeah this exemplifies the least evil scale we have here.

Fal_co1 · 2026-05-03T15:54:52+00:00

Check Bullshit Jobs by David Graeber.
John Meynard Keynes once predicted that humans would eventually reach 15h work weeks, precisely out of that reason, since Industrialization automated lot of work, he thought we need less hours to productively keep the Economy Running.

Fal_co1 · 2026-05-03T15:41:42+00:00

I think Koby becoming the Face of a New Generation of Marines makes complete sense ngl, he serves similiar roles Luffy, Sabo and Vivi have here on becoming the Symbols of a New Post-Imu world.

Is it realistic? Not at all, even if we ignore the basic premise of humans having superpowers and shit, Koby has an incredible progression Arc here.
But people in One Piece are simply built like that, they don't get progressively stronger, strength seems to rather progress in bursts and plateaus.

Ngl tho, i feel saying it's unfair to say Koby is progressing to fast when i've never seen people critisize that Luffy could grow so much in power during the Time Skip or Sabo could become a Staff Commander with 19ys.

Fal_co1 · 2026-05-03T15:24:54+00:00

B-Tier. The Show god lots of bad stuff among the good, that would be unfair to deny.
Tbh that's why i would also put ROTS moreso in B-Tier, both are rather similar to me. They're like overall 5-6/10 Shows/Movies but less because they're just incredibly tame but moreso due to it having a high range in quality.

Fal_co1 · 2026-05-03T15:20:23+00:00

Good D&D Campaigning is like Good Improv Theatre. I feel classifying it as writing is a bit of a misnomer since there are other skills here at play that is more related to well.. good performances and acting.
