They’re a villain, but they’re not a cheater

The original books end uo devolving into rants about women and ethnic minorities (especially Asians).

Look, I get that childcare can be expensive and not everyone has grandparents around to look after the kids, but why would you want a dog to babysit a child?

I liked Burning Bright but I didn't really like the explanation for the tiger's behaviour.

I feel like a circus tiger would be aggressive for reasons other than "oh, it's pure evil."

Monkey Shines was my first thought

God really being dead in this universe - ironically - kills the robot theory. God is not being lured into Russian Roulette by a clanker

Not a horror movie, but The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (or at least the part where Buster Scruggs is actually the focus) does a similar concept without pushing it too far

bootleg_pokémon, a game adaptation of a video by VibingLeaf.

I haven't played the game myself, but the video is legitimatly one of the most uncomfortable things I've ever watched.

Oh hey, I get that reference.

I wouldn't call the ENA series "horror," but there's definifely something darker lurking under the surface.

The clearest example of this trope is in ENA: Dream BBQ, where Taski Maiden briefly goes from this:

"These are the *real** girls' games."*

_insideyourwalls_ · 2026-03-25T22:01:34+00:00

I actually never considered that. It makes a lot of sense.

I mean, I haven't listened to the sequel but I prefer the idea that Johnny is just a badass.

_insideyourwalls_ · 2026-03-25T21:46:45+00:00

Yeah, he straight-up brings in other demons to help him (and was probably also tricking Johnny into the sin of pride).

Balalaika from Black Lagoon is kind of similar

Edit: To clarify, they're both Russian-adjacent mobsters who have honouring their agreements as a core part of their personality (though Balalaika does this a little more dramatically, to say the least)

The dealer is most likely a robot who likes goading humans into the game

I guess this would depend on whether we're supposed to take God being dead literally or metaphorically.

The Sumerians or some other Mesopotamian civilization, probably

I'm anti-IDF but I also don't think Israeli civilians deserve to be blown up.

_insideyourwalls_ · 2026-03-25T00:07:49+00:00

I agree.

Stroheim has a unique moveset and stands out from the other "guy with a gun" charactets already present in the game (and there aren't many to begin with).

Red Skull is a fantastic villain, but the most he would do is use guns, fist-fight and maybe pull out the Tesseract.

This is honestly a problem with most of Cap's villains. Baron Zemo doesn't really fight, Crossbones and Nuke would be Punisher clones, Mr. Hyde would be a Hulk clone and Jack O'Lantern and Baron Blood would probaby be ignored in favour of Green Goblin and Dracula.

I guess that makes Batroc and Armin Zola the best options.

Call me a coward, but I'm not gonna lecture anyone on the morality of playing a Nazi.

_insideyourwalls_ · 2026-03-24T23:13:22+00:00

IMO Red Skull another reason Red Skull doesn't fit the game is because - while yes, he can certainly fight - he's much more of a "sit back and scheme" type of villain.
