Full Results https://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Best_of_the_Trope --- Battleship - Mr. & Mrs. Smith (Mr. & Mrs. Smith) / Han Solo & Princess Leia (Star Wars) Flaming Hair - Hades (Hercules) Disney Death - Gandalf (Lord of the Rings) Identity Absorption - Alex Mercer (Prototype) Glass Cannon - Attack Deoxys (Pokemon) Heroic Sacrifice - The Iron Giant (The Iron Giant) Quest for Identity - Leonard Shelby (Memento) Spotlight-Stealing Squad - 1st Gen (Pokemon) / Wolverine (X-Men) Mourning Antagonist - The Joker and Batman (Batman) Tall, Dark And Handsome - Handsome Jack (Borderlands) Dude, Where's My Respect? - Joey Wheeler (Yu-Gi-Oh!) / The Player (World of Warcraft) Today's tropes is the Rooting for the Empire https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RootingForTheEmpire Where the villains of a series become more popular than the good guys. The heroes start to rub the fans the wrong way, and a notable proportion of the fandom now dislikes and actively bashes the main characters. For these fans they can almost become a Hatedom, yet they call themselves fans and continue to read/watch/play the source material because they like the bad guys. Rooting for the Empire is fairly common in a story with a Villain Protagonist, due to the natural tendency for audiences to bond with the viewpoint character of any story: but there are many other reasons for this attitude to take hold. Having their conflict be against other (sometimes even worse) bad guys rather than heroic antagonists tends to cause either this or Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy. --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs ...
