8 Cutest Video Game Enemies Who Did Nothing Wrong.

[@jaykoops9502]

Example: the Waddle-Dees from the Kirby franchise

[@1003JustinLaw]

Cute aggression activated

[@Th3greatwhite]

Tonberry moment. I won’t take any ton berry slander

[@lordodin92]

Yeah this would be a great video

[@sydneylynskey7587]

Here's an idea for next week's video: 'Top Starter Video Games for Every Genre.' Imagine someone who has never played video games before-what are the best platformers, RPGs, survival horrors, shooters, etc., to introduce them to each genre?"

[@DETRACT0RD00M]

That's actually a really good idea dude..

[@damonscutz372]

Awesome idea but there are so many genres that it would take at least 6 lists. Like I said Awesome idea. I would be down for watching those

[@justins9886]

10 Sidekicks we knew were going to betray us but, we were stuck with anyways.

[@HitchcockJohn]

You could also go the other way- sidekicks you thought for sure were going to betray you then surprised you when they didn’t.

Chum bucket in mad max

[@Daniel_WR_Hart]

The guy that lets you into Godrick's castle

[@darthdolo5142]

Surprised that Kessler from "Infamous" didn't make the list given he openly egged you on to destroy him so that you could achieve your true power.

[@JimTheFly]

This was the first character I thought of. The whole aim of the game is "I need you to get strong enough to defeat me so you can save us from what's about to happen."

[@WatcherXel]

People tend to ignore the first Infamous a lot, from what I’ve noticed.

[@averagezen]

Love that you're changing up the studio, but you can see the monitor reflection in the mountain picture. I can't handle 3 Jules! (You + Your reflection off glass + Your monitor reflection off glass)

[@lyledal]

The Reflection over Jule's right shoulder reveals how all the sausage is made!

[@tsar_gustav]

I believe that Far Cry 4 villain is even more suitable for this video. He just wanted our character to sit still for 10 minutes and place mother's aches in a small temple afterwards. After that you join him, fly away together and start ruling the country supposedly 😄 P.S. and this alternate ending is actually cannon

[@iamsinistar8971]

To be fair the rebels are total douchebags so why bother helping them?

[@tsar_gustav]

@@iamsinistar8971 exactly, Pagan Min was a much better choice

[@elrojojp]

What about Kessler from Infamous, all he wanted was to prepare Cole for his battle with the beast

[@TheOmegaDragon]

That should have been number 1 IMO

[@jamessweebe373]

No worries about your "studio", it looks amazing. RIP bike, hopefully it has a good home.

[@felman87]

The crossovers with Psy makes it feel like we're a part of this WhatCulture Gaming universe. I love it.

[@dreamseeker2346]

Your new studio looks good man, so glad you're still doing the outros on here too! Thanks for being awesome

[@mmgvii8076]

lmfao the most satisfying walk away in my entire gaming experience. keep yelling at the tree, goofy 😂😂

[@cygnisdragon3485]

The studio looks great Jules! As for a suggestion, maybe 10 video game enemies that were so stupid, they practically stopped themselves for you?

[@peadarbarbosa]

The concept of villains 'needing' the heroes to win has always interested me. One that sticks in my mind is the Hood from Thunderbirds - he would create a disaster for International Rescue to prevent so he could steal the secrets of their technology, except the only way for him to gain those secrets and then escape would be for IR to prevent the disaster because otherwise he would be killed in the resultant explosion

[@samnemeth-smyth6109]

Not gonna lie....that black box makes it look like Jules is wearing some kind of shock collar 😅😂

[@GaryCurnowII]

I mean, in Borderlands 2, Handsome Jack wants you to win. At least until you put the fake core into Sanctuary‘s shield.

[@katemoseley5522]

Am I the only one that got distracted and found myself watching Jules through the reflection in glass, instead of actually watching Jules.

[@nictagg7348]

For the reflection on the camera left painting: Place a spacer (wedge of tape, furniture foot pad, etc) behind the left side of the picture frame. This should angle the frame to eliminate the reflection while being invisible to the camera/audience's view. New studio looks great!

[@lady_draguliana784]

Kratos: "I've killed GODS!" Darth Traya: "pfft! cute! I'm going to kill a FUNDAMENTAL FORCE OF THE UNIVERSE"

[@misterkapable]

I love you for your outros. Seriously you are a gem.

10 bosses you end up feeling downright awful for

[@cvdracon3961]

You can also include Arfoire in the Conquest Ending from Hyperdimension Neptunia; Rebirth 2 in this list. Spoiler Alert: In this Ending Nepgear kills all the CPU's including their sisters just to power up a sword to kill Arfoire. Arfoire itself awaits you and let her got killed without a fight, saying what Nepgear has done to the world was much more damaging of what she herself were capable of.

[@PaJammies1025]

What about Aelfred from AC: Valhalla? The "Poor Fellow Soldier of Christ" literally has you hunt down all of his cronies so that he can create a new "God-fearing" group.

[@edwardturner840]

Seeing his poster for jiffy clyro making me like him even more. We can belt out instant history while playing fps games

[@the_muzz1]

The MGS 3 Boss Battle was such a memorable one! One of the few games that hit me straight in the feels!

[@UnrealAxel27]

Kriea being a Sith Lord was revealed not too far into the game. She straight up tell you if you have enough influence with her.

[@zigazav1]

fyi, some villains in gaming requires the protag to win in their plans. It's rare, but it does happen. For an example: Otto Apocalypse. From the mobile gatcha game "Honkai Impact 3rd". He needed the heroes, including the protag Kiana Kaslana, to kill him, to achieve his goal, as them killing him would bring him closer to what's called the "Imaginary Tree", which he uses to create an AU where his beloved Kallen did not get killed, which bringing her back was his motivation of extending his own life by 500+ years. To search for a solution to bring her back. Think of the Imaginary Tree as akin to Yggdrasil, the World Tree, just with extra things. and fyi, the game is more than a gatcha game, the story is very good and writes villains well. Well, at least what's called Part 1 of main story, and I don't mean chapter 1. After Part 1, the quality of writing drops some. Nothing in Part 2 will give me the heart-crushing "Final Lesson" gave me, at least so far

[@benc3462]

Leonhardt from legend of heroes trails in the sky comes to mind, it has been a while but I recall him wanting us to win. in fact there are quite a few villains that want you to win in that series it could make a list in itself.

[@boi905]

Thats actually a really good way to refer to these types of villains and plots. Where the good guy is secretly the bad guy and the good guy has been doing evil in the name of love while the villain erks them on, whether known to the reader/viewer/player or unknown.

[@AshA-pp3ts]

Triple Jules! Wow! Much Jules! We have; 1 - Jules on camera. 2 - Jules reflected on the Biffy Clyro picture. 3 - Jules on the monitor that's also being reflected by the Biffy Clyro picture. So many Jules at once!

[@oldcur]

Remember that scene in “David Lynch’s” Dune where Sting jumps up and down shouting, “I will kill him.”

[@drewtheunspoken3988]

[@RyuzakiTaiyou]

How about characters from existing franchises who became completely different in video games? Like Mickey Mouse in kingdom hearts who's suddenly a MF badass.

[@patriksvensson2360]

Gabriel/Indalecio from Star Ocean 2nd Story was also a fairly interesting bum to topple. That 'Thank you' he offers as you deal the final blow is a bit surprising right until it's explained that that's all that was missing for him to end the universe.

I'm disappointed that Lucifer from Dante's Inferno wasn't on this list. He literally sets the entire plot in motion so that you can reach him in the deepest circle of hell to free him from his prison. All the terrible things he does are just to provoke you into breaking your way into his domain, literally breaking the chains that hold him on the way.

I'd like to see a list based on the endings for characters in a fighting game. Like the saddest endings where the character somehow loses even after winning the tournament or the weirdest endings that come right out of nowhere

[@richardtaylor4152]

Studio looks good champ, maybe get a displate (or other metal poster) to replace the frame on the left. It'll help get rid of the reflection

[@yotaruvegeta]

Lost a bike, gained a halo light

[@tylervaughn8548]

I’ve had an idea for list in mind for a while. It’s NPCs more interesting than the player character(s). I would also like to mention for this list the AI versions of Professors Turo and Sada in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. They wanted the real professors’ time machine stopped. They only acted the way they did because of how they were programmed.

Soon as I read the title I thought "where is Boss from MGS3 going to place"

[@israelruiz8706]

I honestly interpreted shadow of the colosus differently. I didnt think dormin was evil. More like just a trapped god. So for example from the begining dormin did tell the wanderer that there would be a heavy price if he succeeds. Which the wanderer agreed too. Then the main hint is that dormin kept his word and revived the girl who according to the wanderer was "sacrificed".
