Ensemble Dark Horse Iconic Sequel Character Unexpected Character Mix and Match Critters Heterosexual Life Partners Broken Ace The Rival Voluntary Shapeshifter Milkman Conspiracy Intelligible Unintelligible Relationship Voice Actor Bedlam House Adolf Hitlarious Disposable Intern Goth Girls Know Magic Abandoned Hospital And I Must Scream Uncanny Valley The Zeppo Big Guy, Little Guy Vacation Episode Tear Jerker Today's trope is the Unreliable Narrator https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UnreliableNarrator In most narratives, there's an element of trust that the person telling you the story is telling the truth, at least as far as they know it. This trope occurs when that convention is discarded. The narrator's facts contradict each other. If you ask them to go back a bit and retell it, the events come out a little differently. Reasons for the unreliability vary. Sometimes the narrator is a guilty party and is trying to mislead the audience as well as the other characters. If the narrator is insane, it's Through the Eyes of Madness. A consistent and sincere testimony may prove Unreliable if coming from a perspective of personal bias, or conclusions drawn from incomplete observation, or if the narrator has honestly misunderstood what's going on due to naivete, inexperience, or just lack of information. --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs ...

Verbal Kint for sure is my #1.
I'll vote for Uatu from the Earth X comics because his narration is phenomenally awful once you learn the truth but so sensical ahead of time. And Varric from Dragon Age II is probably the best video game example of this. --- "Reading would be your friend." ~Dave Meltzer ... Copied to Clipboard!
