Who is your favourite Anti Hero?

Bojack Horseman.

He’s such a terrible person but idk i love watching him and I root for him especially later seasons.

I'm not sure how long this will last, but I've still not forgiven Netflix for forcing the ending to be rushed. The last season should have been at least two seasons.

McNulty

Everyone in the Expanse. Naomi, Drummer, Fred Johnson, Bobbie Draper, Chrisjen Avasarala, Monica... Obviously, Amos, Peaches, Miller, and even Holden.

All of them do reprehensible things. Some did them and made up for it. Some still do them to win.

Can you be a hero for not doing anything?
- Assuming he didn’t do it (he didn’t), he’s taking the fall for a saint so that’s saintly on its own imo
Isn’t this just a hero?
Saint Luigi 🙏

>does good things for bad reasons  
>gluttony is considered by many to be bad

kirby. kirby is my favorite antihero

To be fair, after the swallowing he sometimes puke. It's not a total sin, but just a eating disorder.

Shut up baby, I know it!

Didn't see him posted yet, Walter Joseph Kovacs aka Rorschach.

The one who hates immigrants, gays, and liberals? Might want to take a little closer look at your favorite character.
- The question was favorite antihero.
  
  An antihero (sometimes spelled as anti-hero or two words anti hero) or anti-heroine is a character in a narrative (in literature, film, TV, etc.) who may lack some conventional heroic qualities and attributes, such as idealism and morality. Although antiheroes may sometimes perform actions that most of the audience considers morally correct, their reasons for doing so may not align with the audience's morality.
  
  Perhaps a post titled "Who is your favorite antihero?" Isn't the best place for you if you're just looking for reasons to be offended.

V from V For Vendetta

After watching Andor, I guess Luthem Rael fits that title. Dude's absolutely savage. Forced to use the tools of his enemy to fight for freedom that he'll likely never experience. He sacrifices good people on order to protect the whole

It's also established that's he's an accelerationist. He's intentionally baiting the Empire to crackdown more brutally on dissent in an effort to forment rebellion among the common people of the galaxy. He fears that if he does not do this, there will be a day when the Empires grip is too tight to escape.

"It will burn... Very brightly"

In the end, he was right. The Death Star vindicates his methods. Without Luthen laying the groundwork for the Rebel Alliance, the Galaxy would have been a boiling frog and the Death Star would have led to its brutal oppression for generations.
- He's absolutely a hero and without him the death star would've probably obliterated the rebellion (if it even existed without him). His methods aren't exactly "good" though from the perspective of good vs evil. As we see with Mon Mothma who is maybe a bit naïve and definitely doesn't approve of his methods. But I think a rebellion needs a Luthen. He knows he'll be hated by pretty much everyone, but in the end he managed to get so much done. He's the fall guy so the formal rebellion doesn't have to get their hands dirty.

Fred Flintstone Garfield

Leto II. Deadpool was already taken, so I went with a more controversial example.

Woody Harrelson's character in Zombieland was perfect.

That'll do pig. That'll do.

No mention of The Punisher?

I think he has an automatic negative connotation just because of his many cops etc idolize him, but he's a fantastic character. In the (Uhh I think) daredevil show and comic he knocked DD out, chained him up with a revolver, and said shoot me or I will assassinate this bad guy. Like "you wanna do the 'killing is wrong' shtick? Welcome to my trolley problem, bitch."
- many cops etc idolize him
  
  Which is ironic, considering what he really stands for.
  
  Netflix's version portrayed by Jon Bernthal is trully amazing

Riddick

Beatrix Kiddo "The Bride" from "Kill Bill".

Sooo evil, but you just have to love her.

Yes, the sinister toe wiggling
- Tarantino. Toes. Figures.

I've got to go with a classic in Tony Soprano. He's a real piece of shit, and yet I can't look away.

Vegeta. Fun character.

Vegeta embodies the rage that all of us feel and has one of the best character arcs of all time IMO.

he had his entire life stolen from him by the monster that took him in, not out of pittance, but out of a sick sense of entertainment.

he then spent the next 20-ish years trying to become stronger to complete his desire for vengeance, and even then he wasn't enough.

he literally had everything stolen from him. beaten from him. was mocked relentlessly because of who and what he is. they took everything but one thing. That one thing that could never be taken from him. His pride.

I learned so much about myself as a person as I watched his character develop. I keep a figure of him on my desk to remind myself of how far I have come and to protect my pride.

he is, by far, one of the most influential characters in my entire life.
- Add the fact that he becomes a decent family man and you have one heck of an arc.
  
  There's a hilarious canon scene where Vegeta proves to be a better dad than Goku (granted that doesn't take much)

Raistlin Majere from Dragonlance

Peacemaker!

Captain James Flint from Black Sails

That's not what an anti-hero is. The anti-hero is when the main character is the bad guy. Think Walter White or to a certain extent Dexter Morgan.

The term antihero gets misused a lot, but villain protagonist is absolutely not correct either. An antihero does not have to be the protagonist, and a protagonist who is a villain is still a villain, not an antihero.
Often the clumsy fool with a pure heart is the anti hero. For example Forrest Gump

Black Adam

Darrow from the Red Rising series. I think he fits the bill a bit, but he does flip flop between hero, anti hero, and villain, so maybe not a complete fit.

I got halfway through the second book and it just wasn't what I wanted anymore. My brother told me to keep going but it's been a while.
- To be honest, I've only read the first three. I was very happy with how it left off and my gf says that the other two are hard reads. I still make sure she doesn't spoil anything, but I'm unsure if I want to leave it where it is and be ignorantly happy, or read further and see what happens.
  
  I may revisit them when the series is complete.

Dracula

todd the wraith, and probably magneto. deadpool not really, he doesnt really do close to bad to consider it, hes still to moral.

Somebody has not read the older comics. Movie Deadpool is pretty mild in comparison to comics.

Things he has done to Blind Al or the time he used his child as a bait and she survived only because Quicksilver saved her
I'll second Todd!

Lobo

Bill Burr.

Sam Spade, Wolverine are a couple that first come to mind; often portrayed as the cynical gunfighter private eye and war weary samurai

Gianni Schicchi (the operatic precursor to Weekend at Bernie's)

Weekend Bernie's does not get the recognition it deserves! Such an amazing/stupid movie that I haven't seen in far too long.

Batman

Ant Man.

Which one?

The Irredeemable Ant-Man is an interesting one - he's a low level, lazy SHIELD worker who steals an Ant-Man suit and uses it for selfish things. But you probably meant Scott Lang. I'd say Scott is more of a regular hero.
- Ant Man must be the anti-est hero, doesn't get any anti-er than that
- Yeah Scott Lang's not an anti Hero by any stretched imagination. I would hope he doesn't mean him.

Does Agent Venom count? I've only read a little about the character, but enjoyed what I saw.

In - I think - the first issue, he ends up carrying an armed grenade in his mouth for most of it; I remember there being some pretty funny quips about it.

Homura Akemi 😌
