ITT: Name characters that started out as Heros or where meant to become great heros / good guys in the future but along the way turned to the dark side so to speak.

Examples;
Anakin Skywalker > Darth Vader.
Arthas Menethil > Lich King
Harvey Dent > Two Face
>>
The chick from Starcraft that became the Zerg queen
>>
the culling of Stratholme was justified.
>>
>>86509650
No smelly girls, I want to actually relate to a character.

>>86509663
It was and Uther was being a little pussy boy.
>>
>>86509650
that was such a good story, kerrigan was such an awesome character. what they did in sc2, literally made her space jesus, dying to save everyone, holy fuck, the sc2 writers deserve to be shot in the head
>>
If it's anime Obito Uchiha is a good example too

And Jason Todd also ofc.
>>
Daenerys Targaryen
>>
>>86509581
Michael corleone
That guy from 24
Technically Walter White or Tony Soprano since they get progressively worse in terms of their crimes and become more than just 'good guys who do bad things'
Lex Luthor from Smallville
>>
>>86509887
Is Smallville any good / worth giving a watch?
>>
Forest Gump
Gilbert Grape
Tom Hanks
>>
>>86509887
How in the world have you watched Sopranos and have the slightest notion that Tony was never a bad guy?
>>
>>86509581
Frodo, though his full transition lasted for only a brief moment.
>>
ever since Milton wrote Paradise Lost and gave us the idea of the fallen angel, most villain stories have been about corrupted heros.
>>
Sold his soul
>>
>>86510134
wasn't Lucifer already seen as a fallen angel before that?
>>
Another question who does it better.

Anime or Live Action?
>>
>>86509581
would Jack Torrance fit? he clearly becomes increasingly darker but I wouldn't say he was ever a hero.
>>
Donald Trump

Manga without a doubt
>>
>>86510413
Yeah.

I would also say Lelouch from Code Geass but he was more Good > Anti Hero > Bit of a Villain > then good again, right?

Hopefully season 3 will clarify when it comes out.
>>
>>86510413
>implying griffith was ever good

He was a self serving egotistical ass hole that couldn't handle rejection
>>
ARTHAS DID NOTHING WRONG
FUCK YOU UTHER BITCHASS
>>
>>86510209
it wasn't in the Bible. maybe some paintings might have depicted it. but to my knowledge the myth came from Milton.
>>
>>86510536
He betrayed the honest hard working ice trolls and ogres from Northrend
>>
>>86510536
>AM I MAD?
>>
>>86510536
He did something wrong the moment he literally took a piss in the urn that contained his fathers ashes, the very same father which he drove a sword through his royal face.
>>
>>86509759
They did the same with Illidan in WoW, He went from crazy night elf who was hellbent on revenge on his captors and the legion into a fucking prophesied hero of the light who is destined to save everyone
>>
Iron Man
>>
>>86510313
He started out as an abusive alcoholic failure who broke his own son's arm.
>>
>>86509581
There are many characters like that. It's one of the most common trope in art and entertainment.
>>
geralt of rivia

Childhood is when you idolize Arthas
Adulthood is when you realize Uther was right
>>
>>86510639
He never literally pissed in his father's urn, that was Uther's propaganda.

Also killing his father was justified
>>
>>86509887
how was walt ever good?
>>
Which is a better sword Longclaw or Frostmourne
>>
Arthas - > Night King
>>

>ended saving joos

>>
>>86509581
arthas never actually turns into the lich king, the lich king possesses arthas. we can consider him dead after putting on the crown, or even a few weeks after wielding frostmourne
