7 Good Guys Who Became Bad Guys, Much Cooler

Time and again games have taught us that villains are much cooler and better dressed than do-gooder heroes. Just consider these good guys who turned bad and turned much cooler in the process, then subscribe for more videos! www.tinyurl.com/SubToOxbox
Take Ryu from Street Fighter, for example. In the early days of the Street Fighter series, if you picked Ryu in Street Fighter you’d face more boos than Mario in a ghost house because, let’s face it, Ryu is boring.
Ryu was the vanilla option, the safe choice. Pretty balanced, with easy moves, he’s a karate man who does karate, in his karate suit. They may as well have called him Karate.
In a game with teleporting yogis, flamenco dancing wolverine bullfighters and Russian bear wrestlers, you’ve got to work harder than that to stand out.
That all changed from Street Fighter Alpha 2 onwards, however, when we finally got to see Ryu’s dark side. That’s when we were introduced to Evil Ryu: a variation of the character possessed by the satsui no hado, the evil force that lets Akuma do all his awesome Akuma stuff.
In this form, Ryu has glowing red eyes, fangs, a red aura around his body and, more recently, an awesome glowing hole in his chest. Evil Ryu can even do the Raging Demon, aka the coolest Ultra Combo in the whole Street Fighter series.
Say what you like about Evil Ryu, you can’t say that he’s boring. Also: if you did, he'd mess you up.

It's interesting how far they had to take an evil Superman to get the denser people among the game's players to understand that, yes, a Superman who establishes a dictatorial regime and executes his enemies is indeed a creature of evil, not a "badass". Even more interesting given the voice actors for _Injustice,_ the shows they're from and the Superman series arc of those shows.

@@OhNoTheFace He's twelve when he first gets his powers and the events of Injustice are set five-and-a half years after the nuclear blast that destroys Metropolis and sets off the events in the game. Depending on how close he was to his birthday when he got his powers and how long he had been Shazam prior to the blast, on the absolute low end he's seventeen pushing eighteen. More likely, he's eighteen or nineteen, or recently turned twenty. None of that changes the fact that his is the saddest death in the game, but my point stands that he's a young adult, not a child.

[@AsterSea]

Ragnarok Stravius​ Superman thought he was fighting doomsday and thusly saving the world. That act alone doesn't make him a villain. In fact, all it does it make him a tragic hero. It's his actions and attitude AFTER doing so that makes him a scumbag. He clearly sees that metropolis was a necessary sacrifice for making him "see the light." In some ways he may even be grateful to the Joker for getting rid of his need to hold back. That mindset is what makes him a villian.

[@ragnarokstravius2074]

Tragic hero? Okay, I never played the game, so, say, did Doomsday fight back or was he killed by something Superman already used against him? If no to the first question and yes to the second, how in the fucking hell Superman didn't feel something weird?

Solas wasn't a villain, he just miscalculated over the mcguffin blowing up the Temple of Sacred Ashes. In the DLC that was the actual ending of the game (and thanks for that, EA), it's revealed that the "elven gods" the Dread Wolf tricked in Dalish mythology were actually regular elves who ruled the elven people with an iron fist. He was actually a freedom fighter. Plus he looks like a nug.

[@Thy_Boss]

Solas is presented as a genocidal maniac. He wants to eliminate entire races of intelligent beings to meet his goal. There's this real problem with sci-fi/fantasy fans where whichever character does more talky exposition about a character's actions gets taken at their word. Since for villains, that's usually the villains themselves, you end up with fans who can't read the character accurately.

[@Crisjola]

@@Thy_Boss it also (it's been years now) depends on how close Solas and your Inquisitor were. A lot of dialog was different enough to make what makes an anti-hero (not saying Solas was one, just that we have information that is thousands of years old from either myths or second hand sources) in one line makes him a villain if worded differently. I romanced Anders _hard_ because of Awakening. If you don't understand why he hates the way mages are treated, and his backstory, and you don't go the route for his character to stop and consider what he's doing, he absolutely comes across as a madman. That Solas essentially is also an Eldritch Abomination on par with something like a Time Lord (particularly Eleven who is violent as all get out and now _that_ is a bit of hero worship media that is never talked about) who exists beyond the mortal kin of any current race in Thedas doesn't help. If Solas has no reason to understand and sympathize with creatures that aren't spirits, why should he take the time when the last time god-like beings clashed it ended… (presumably from what he himself said) poorly for him.

[@BubbaYoshi117]

Solas definitely isn't a hero, but he's at least trying to redeem himself for destroying the elven culture. Whether or not he's doing it in the right way is yet to be seen. He might just have too much power to know how to properly use it. There's also the possibility that he doesn't see the modern Dalish and city elves as his people, due to how different they are from the elves he remembers, so sacrificing thousands of them, along with humans, dwarves and qunari, is worth it in the long run to restore the Elvhenan to its former glory.

[@calebbonney4193]

BubbaYoshi117 I mean sacrificing everyone who isn't your kind to bring back the glory days is definitely a very evil villain thing to do.

[@Shinarydk]

Technically we have no proof that is what he is going to do. Solas is always ambiguous. He says "Even if this world must die," and "die in comfort," he also makes a lot of assumption, which is one of his largest failings. The only thing we know for sure is that he wants to tear down the veil, but we have no idea of what this will actually mean. Solas might simply assume that the world we know as Thedas, will be unable to adapt to spirits running around freely and magic being literally everywhere. Considering how the average person in Thedas feels about magic, it seems like a realistic theory that most will go on a bloody rampage and get themselves killed or possessed in the process. Solas actions will most likely lead to death on a massive scale, but it is not what he wants and he isn't technically the ones to slaughter them.

[@AxleTrade]

What ultimately makes Solas a complicated character is that when he's good friends with the inquisitor, he welcomes the fact that he may be wrong on that account just as how the inquisitor had proven him wrong before. He's like a way more reasonable and less-militant version of General Zodd tbh.

[@Thy_Boss]

[@punkpinata7062]

Ian Bailey Yeah. Jason Momoa is a Beast. He's gonna Rock the Role. But honestly in the first Injustice Game alone Aquaman showed nothing but Competence and how Powerful He is. In the first Game He was the only one who figured out all by himself that Superman went bonkers. The other got briefed by Batman. Also in this Game He Fights and wins against a Dozen of Atlantean Soldiers, Flash the fastest Man Alive, Shazam Earths mightiest Mortal and Ares the actual God of War. Sometimes I don't understand why People think of him as a Joke.

[@mapleseerope9381]

not to mention he controls the ocean and its dwellers which covers more than half of the earth. That alone is cool and sorta terrifying when you think about how much we dont know about the ocean

[@kuroganeyuuji6464]

i think the problem is the suit, as it is said "the clothes makes the man", I myself didn't like aquaman before playing Injustice, but he was the one i was better at controlling so this redeemed him for me.

Yuuji 優二 Kurogane 黒鉄 Well I can understand why His Suit is troubling but honestly I think it is very Iconic. Also there are many recent Interpretations of his Suit wich Look cooler. Like the New52 Version from Ivan Reis. Like I said I can understand why People dislike the Costume because the risk that it will look Bad is bigger than the Chance that it will look great. I Hope I make Sense. I also like the Version on my Profile Pic. It was a Commision from a Artist on Instagram

Arthas was correct about his decision in stratholme, If anything, Jaina and Uther's decision to abandon him was the tipping point that made him look for another solution. That city was already corrupted, and if he didn't do anything, that would've merely joined malganis's army. This is the type of difficult decision that a king is forced to make for the betterment of the majority of his people, yet he was condemned. No wonder he became a loner and chose another path. If jaina, at the very least, had stayed behind to help him, he probably wouldn't have chosen to make the final decisions in regards to frostmourne. Hell, he may have even avoided northerend, but who knows.

[@Jijijijijij5]

I feel like they could've included choose your morality game characters like Corvo/Emily from Dishonored and the Infamous guys. Because let's face it, it's always a lot cooler and more fun going around killing everyone you see.

[@johnyshadow]

From my personal experience, I have to disagree with Dishonored. Sure, you can go in with a sword and pistol, leaving just a bloody mess on the floor, but it´s much cooler (and satisfying) to pick off all the guards one by one, making the target disappear, and in the morning everyone just wakes up with a headache and no clue as to what the hell happened.

Batman wasn't always like this. He actually had a personality. It wasn't until Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns that Batman turned into this edgy, brooding, boring, "My parents are dead!" character.

[@solotaughtme]

"if only...i could reach...my utility belt..."

[@sdgdhpmbp]

+Chad Benjamin There shouldn't be anything wrong with brooding and edgy. The problem is that it's overdone now, and Superman's type of simply doing good for the sake of good is now boring or even controversial. What a great lesson that is. I mostly just have Superman TAS as a point of reference but I friggin' love the guy. He does everything in his power to help those in need and fight injustice. Batman isn't a polar opposite but he's often resorting to questionable means. To be honest, Superman feels like the most human and realistic super hero DC has to offer. Too bad people want to read about drama queens so he's more "interesting" when he's evil.

[@fusiontoa18]

fusiontoa18 And who may I ask is more realistic than Superman? Super paranoid loner yet friends with everyone and is also superior to all with no powers at all and infinite money? Please.

It's worse because most of the time childs are more innocent and can't protect themselves. People tend not to give a fuck about harm to bad guys, because they deserve everything. But kids don't. That saying, Shazam wasn't a kid 100% because he lived life of an adult and, basically, law enforcer, and he should knew the risks.

A bit of a grey area that one, I think. As far as I can remember, he never openly showed to share the Templar views of controlling everything, he was just trying to stop the assassins' from causing more calamities. Although you were "allowed" to kill civilians in the game, it was never required in the story, he stuck to most of the assassins' code and just stopped anyone who was taking innocent lives. I'm not sure he ever became a "bad guy"

[@13times1]

+Mi1ky J03 well the templars are considered the bad guys in all the other games, and he kills Arno's dad, so yeah, close enough

[@mi1kyj037]

I know the Templars are the bad guys but he found out the group he devoted his life to caused an earthquake and shrugged it off almost, seeking other of those items (I forget the name, I know they weren't apples of eden) that cause earthquakes. when he tries to explain, achillies doesn't listen at all to anything he has to say so I think in this game, the assassins' do give of a kind of 'bad guy' vibe. Plus, you get to stop crime gangs around new York and the atlantic and free prisoners of war which are hardly bad guy actions. that's why I said I think it's a grey area, he's not a clear cut bad guy, but he has taken the side of the bad guys of the series but only to stop the assassins' taking more innocent lives. I think it's just how you view it really, you can argue both sides

[@mi1kyj037]

He doesn't even want the Templars to have power either, he said early on in the game that nobody should be responsible for that kind of power

So then I got SC1 and played through it before playing through SC2 again so I experience all of the story and it became one of my favorite stories in a game series. I love Kerrigan as a character and getting to play as The Queen of Blades herself in SC2 was awesome! Even though I suck at RTS games I still love the Starcraft series because of the story.
