What about literally every homeowner in an RPG? They always get screwed over by the protagonist breaking into their homes, and stealing their stuff. One example I can think of is from Final Fantasy IX where if you enter a home in the beginning of the game, you find a stash of Gil labeled as "Grandma's life savings."

[@DeusExMachina130]

If I remember correctly in Final Fantasy VIII you could steal from an old man's retirement fund and in VII you could steal from a kid's secret stash.

[@Pro_Butcher_Amateur_Human]

I imagine DC universe insurers won't cover 'acts of superheroes and supervillains', just like they don't 'acts of god'. If Bibbo was smart, he'd move to Star City, open up a bar there. Deadshot killed all the villains in town after his daughter and her mum moved there. It'd be great, until Deadshot's daughter turns 18, starts going out with friends, and Deadshot kills every bartender in the city who serves her. Actually, scratch that. It turns out everyone in the DC universe is screwed.

Palindrome James only has appeared in front of the camera one time, he is the foreman of the OX video mines, someone has to make sure Luke and Ellen don't escape the mines

[@epicfortnitegamer1211]

Sick transition between 2 and 3

[@mckayleepugmire9947]

Every single NPC homeowner in every game I've ever played. (I never fail to walk into all the unlocked doors and open every container that could possibly hold treasure, most of that stuff is just first aid supplies and savings)

[@sidsamel4683]

You guys brought up the Ace o’ Clubs bar but completely left out the biggest victim. That one guy just drinking at the bar who everyone just tosses around like a human football!

[@stevenn1940]

And people wonder why god of war doesn't interest me, with such a charismatic and kind protagonist?

[@leonthelamp618]

Chrona Trigger Yes, killing your own family because the gods made you would make any lad cheerful

[@sword7166]

I mean the game is literally a greek tragedy, and tragedy is no fun if it's happening to a good person

[@Remagenify]

Kratos was never a good person, the only ones he was good too were his family. He was a hardened Spartan who did terrible things before he killed his family too.

[@pinkcloudsnightlightbell]

Yeah hope the dad angle will let things dramatically change, it looks really good, like Senua’s Sacrifice

[@germyforev4495]

Im really hoping one of the gods of asgard kills the kid or kratos does. I don't play god of war to be a good guy or a remorseful father. I play it to tear the world apart as a sociopath driven purely by his own rage. Plus god of war takes notes from greek tragedies...So you know don't see that going well for kratos.

[@cordeliaseil]

Also, Marcus from Watch_Dogs 2 can unlock setting a gang on someone, getting someone arrested for forged felony charges, and even set a shot-on-sight parameter to them and tell the police their location! But don’t worry, DedSec is the heroes.

[@lynnyburd1243]

Glad you didn't mention the horrible moment in Watch Dogs 2 when you're trying to just read their highly personal information and accidentally electrocute them.

[@MatthewAshworth]

The White Phosphorus scene in Spec Ops: The Line should be on this list too.

[@vsm1456]

that's the point of the plot. the protagonist is not a hero

[@MatthewAshworth]

I think given how many others on this list aren't typically 'heroes', this one isn't too much out of place either. Although I'd argue that as soldiers at the start of Spec Ops, they go in there with a noble purpose, so they think of themselves as heroes who came to do the right thing. Except the circumstances had other plans for them.

[@someguy2350]

Matthew Ashworth The point is that the guy you play as tries to be a hero, instead of following orders. Because of that, the awful things of the game happens.

[@MatthewAshworth]

Yeah. I think that's something many protagonists try to do though. They see themselves as a hero.

[@someguy2350]

Matthew Ashworth Right, I was just saying since the "the environment had other plans for them" made it sound like you thought what they were doing was right.

[@17joren]

One NPC screwed over by Kratos in GoW3 was Poseidon’s princess squeeze in his chamber. You bring her over to hold up a heavy door crank and, well, you know the rest.

[@andymcp4752]

Rocco from Hitman! Sure you dont *have* to screw him over but the disguise is right there!!

[@Thediamonddog24]

Andy Mcp Rocco brought it upon himself, if only he had been on time...

[@NorthButeLego]

Thediamonddog24 If he had gone to work he'd have ended up eating that poisoned soup...

[@MatthewAshworth]

You mean from 'Hitman: No Subtitle'. :P

[@timothymclean]

Pretty much _every_ civilian in Hitman, really. Especially the ones that he chucks over a ledge before checking to make sure there isn't water there.

[@cordeliaseil]

If only he had gone down there that minute, he wouldn’t have been late for his first day.

[@specialwall5598]

I’m pretty sure Trevor isn’t close to being a hero.

[@seanbroccoli2698]

He's a hero to someone lol

[@UnboundChris]

I always feel bad for that ship captain..goddammit Kratos, why did you have to do it twice??

[@markbutcher7900]

You know he had to do it to em

[@timothymclean]

I kinda want the ship captain's ghost to show up in the new God of War game, so we can see how much Kratos has changed since the bad ol' days. (Or possibly how _little_ he's changed...)

[@Puncherjoe1]

To be fair, his cowardice does get people killed.

[@user-qv4ip5if9x]

khamjaninja huh. I thought most people like him _because_ he's a manslaughtering ass. I know I do (or did, once the 20th rolls around).

[@bronumero7334]

Fuck Kratos.

[@cyborgt3601]

I can't help but notice how almost none of the protagonists they mention in this video can even remotely be considered a "hero."

[@SupertoastGT]

I diddi’t know that old lady could fight. XD Also the Prostate cancer guy you can throw out the window and down a high cliff at the start of Absolution was worth a mention. “It’s not prostate cancer? Oh THANKS, doc! Nothing can piss on this day.” Eeeeeeeeek!

[@Darsh0019]

The doctors and other people at the firefly place in "the last of us"

[@Darsh0019]

I mean they were just trying to save all of humanity

[@shadowscall7758]

Yeah, I hated that ending.

[@killboggins]

humanity sucks

[@gipsydangeramericasmonster9632]

That smooth transition from gta to the hitman clip

[@d2factotum]

Describing Trevor from GTA5 as a "hero" is a little inaccurate--heck, the guy only counts as a protagonist because the player controls him at least some of the time!

[@EdwardCullen0496]

I had no idea that the old lady in the market place had a name, to be honest. I just called her 'that old lady' whenever I threw her at whoever was using the second controller. I'm kind of disappointed they didn't mention the monk you can throw at Raiden's temple.

[@miy1925hassun]

I just realized that the "Unfortunate Sea Captain" is an extremely dark version of the Cabbage Guy from Avatar: The Last Airbender.
