Technically, can Theon be Jerked in any direction?I immediately thought of Theon Greyjoy. Then I realized that "jerked off" is being used in a sense other than "jerked around."
Kylo is petulant, but still dangerous and she bested him on try 1. She also held her own with Luke as a seasoned Jedi. For whatever reason, she is out the box amazing. This doesn't make her a bad character, but it does seem like she matches a lot of criteria of that's inspiring the mentions of many characters ITT.
Also, Shirou Emiya as an example? Seriously? Aside from the fact that his character is notoriously misinterpreted by folks who haven't read the original VN (the problem is, the anime adaptations don't include the narration that convey just how utterly messed up the kid is. Remember the day out with Rin and Saber in UBW? He's feeling like shit and punishing himself mentally the whole time because he legitimately doesn't think he deserves to do something as mundane as enjoy a day off having fun with friends because of his survivor's guilt, and that is beyond messed up), his abilities aren't even oversold, he's literally only capable of taking on one very specific Servant-class character reliably without killing himself in the process. And even the story highlights that he's kind of an idiot who is seriously out of his depth in the Holy Grail War, at least at first.
but doom cried after 911As much as I like him, it's gotta be Dr. Doom. I think Fraction as the only writer willing to drag the character through the mud.
(CTRL + F....SĹŤsuke Aizen)
WTF ERA, how did we miss this wanker:
SĹŤsuke Aizen:
As Many times on the old boards and the new board has this guy been wanked on by Tite Kubo and users, he was not on the first page, nor 2nd or 3rd? ERA, you disappoint me. But Madra is front page??? Pft....

Paul Atreides, at least when it comes to the first book.
Apparently he actually struggles some in the sequels, but in Dune he's pretty much a proto-Kvothe.
Will throw out the starting round with Dr. Doom, what a character.
-Impossibly powerfully plot armor that allows all of his defeats to have been robot clones having been defeated.
-His superpower is that he's just too good at everything.
-He's so good at everything that his country thrives under dictatorship.
-He's so good at everything that the only universes that do well in Marvel have to be ruled by Dr. Doom.
-Sensitive boy because his face is ugly.
Hmmm, not sure there are that many super jerked off characters that have become popular recently.
I can't really remember a failure of hers except when IIRC.she was impeached
Nah, anyone reading that book can only see the so called "Mightest of the elves" as an insufferable moron. The dumbest of elves by far, with an amazingly stupid death fitting the character.I wouldn't call it popular fiction, but FĂ«anor from The Silmarillion. Pretty much perfect in every way. The ultimate Elf, with his ego been his only flaw.
Tony Stark in the MCU. Even when he's the villain, he's right. Was basically Nanomachine Jesus by the End of the recent phase
Dude, don't ruin Endgame for those who haven't seen it yet.But he's dead. He was actually able to be killed and so far with no signs of being brought back to life. That's more than you can say for most characters mentioned in this thread.
Batman. This shouldn't even be a discussion. Batwank is absolutely ridiculous and nauseating.
This is why I like Overlord because he's so strong and has so many resources available was because he and his group of friends grinded and played the game so much before he was sent to the other world. That and his servants are NPCs he and and friends made to be strong and are designed worship him. So they assume this character on him and it goes on from there.Pretty much.
"He was loser in real life, and only knew games and anime, just like you viewer! :D Then he died or walked through a portal, and went to another world where his game knowledge and basic deduction/reasoning skills makes him a genius god-being that never loses in anything. This new world is also filled with women of various ages/body types, who may or may not be his slaves, all extremely hungry for his dick and idiots that only exist to make him look better."
Like 95% of the genre is just the most bottom of the barrel trash.
Just because the Russos have now decreed when you should spoil the movie doesn't mean you can do it at will, especially if you're in a thread where the focus is covering a variety of other series, and really especially if they're off social media, avoiding when they can before finally getting to the theatre after a busy few weeks.I changed it, but you can spoil the movie now if you want. Especially since a lot of it is all over Twitter.
In the defense of Snake, he always says, that he doesn't like the glory and that legends and reality never match.I know a lot of people love him, but Solid Snake.
"You're the legendary Solid Snake"
"It's so great to meet such a legend"
"So... The legendary Solid Snake..."
The series really swoons over his status constantly and reminding the audience at every chance.
Goku,Rey from Star Wars, Kirito and Kvothe are on a league of their own when it comes to instantly master and being the absolute best at something other had to work really hard to get

It's allowed now
Huh? Aside from the genius aspect, he spent the majority of AoU onwards fucking up and having his mistakes come back to bite his ass. Hardly what I call "author wank" materialTony Stark in the MCU.

James Bond. Intentionally, of course.

this has been a problem with weak, uninteresting male leads in anime way before isekai dialed it up to 11.Isekai has produced an entire genre of lead characters like this.
Harry Potter is insanely flawed and all of his power comes from the fact that Voldemort is obsessed with Harry due to an inferiority complex Voldemort has over his father being a Muggle.
Harry Potter is a normal child who has randomly become Wizard Hitler's white whale.
