>MC is a moralfag who makes a big deal about killing people
This is true sometimes
>MC is an edgelord who doesn't make a big deal about killing people
This is also true sometimes.
>OP is a faggot
This is true always
>MC still thinks the villain can be saved after he killed his parents, best friend, 6 random classmates, and a dog
>>124110781
Edgelords are better since they don't go on 23 minute rants about how killing is awesome, they just do it and move the fuck on.
>MC Is really stupid and a piece of shit who only cares about titties and ass

>>124110920
I like that the creater of trigun forced him into a situation where he had to choose, rather than just being preachy about it and creating convenient situations where he can fight at such brutal opponents without having to pop one in the head.
I don't mind peaceful solutions, but its silly to think people can fight at the high levels that anime characters tend to without killing each other.

>>124110900
It depends on the setting. If its in the middle of war, then its acceptable. Killing people for the sake of killing or just to make MC edgey is jut as annoying.
>>124111458
>>124111517
Shit taste.
>>124110708
So you encourage killing people? You think moral ambiguity makes a MC inherently better?
>>124111595
>You think moral ambiguity makes a MC inherently better?
Yes.
>>124111595
There's no moral ambiguity when violence is done righteously. Killing is only wrong when done for the wrong reasons.
>>124111595
It does, actually.
>MC is neither an edgelord nor a moralfag and treats killing people reasonably
>if I kill you I'll be the same as you
>>124111595
As long as its not a defining personality trait I don't care, but when every fight with a serial killer/rapist ends in a tea party and hugs, it ruins the immersion and any seriousness previously established.
>>124111646
I agree with this, if you kill someone killing a bunch of other people why give a fuck.
>MC is both an edgelord and a moralfag
>MC spends entire time wanting to kill bad to get revenge
>decides not to when he gets the chance
>>124111742
>MC accepts that they will have to kill people to stop the enemy while still have a healthy amount of guilt over the fact it has to be that way and not letting it interfere with their goals

It is. At least he'll have priority.
>To move the plan A to B, then person X and needs to be eliminated. Nothing personal
>Z person betrayed him. Execute him in front of the masses to set an example
>Y person is a foot soldier of opposing army in an all-out war. Kill him just fine.
etc
>MC is a lazy but clever bum whose semi Gary Stu like plans are contrasted with that of his snarky and charismatic best friend
>Every villain dies in a violent explosion
>>124111595
Yes, it does. There's nothing interesting about a MC who has a rigidly defined moral code and never struggles to figure out what may be right in any given situation. There is something captivating about a character who occasionally does something morally wrong.
>>124112316
>MC is a genius
>the rest of the cast are bumbling idiots to show just how much of a genius the MC is
>MC is an incredibly dumb cunt who cares about his friends
Literally all shonens
>>124110708
Lol. Just jumped on /a/ to start one of these threads.
>I... I JUST WANT TO BECOME STRONGER TO HELP OTHERS!!!! ;_;
Ugh, jesus fucking christ. I mean, I get the whole morally ideal hero concept, and I wouldn't want to see anime become one giant parade of remorseless edgelords, but it still feels really cheesy and fake most of the time.
>MC is a delinquent but still a good person deep down
>>124111945
MC is the only one who can save the planet from an unspeakable evil that is hell bent on destroying all good for incomprehensible reasons.

Don't worry, worst girl got the left overs. Best girl took his everything.
>>124110799
Most mecha MCs, at least in the beginning.
>>124110708
>Everything the MC does is morally justifiable
>Everything the antagonist does no matter how well intentioned is evil.
This is why I like the "he was the good guy all along" stories they can be flipped upside down and everyone can see the good in the antagonist.
>Mc is 18 and has no interest in girls
>>124113686
Accelerator will probably never have interest in girls.
>>124113686
18 is like 50 in anime years though, too old to care about sex anymore.
>>124113385
I'll bet you enjoyed the ending of Tales of Phantasia.
>>124113754
Probably fucked a clone though.
>it is implied early on that MC's unique power might possibly be the very strongest of all the powers in the world. (Gosh, I wonder if it's true)
>the badguy is a gleeful, sadistic, shrieking psycho for no real reason. (There were like 5 or 6 of these characters in Tokyo Ghoul. Good night.)
>the badguy takes a hostage and lures MC and pals to some irrelevant but scenic location where a showdown takes place
>MC cannot tell girls are in pove with him
>>124114116
Why?
He doesn't have a libido.
>not being an efilist
> Mc is strong but lets himself get beaten up by weaker annoying female characters
>>124111584
>If its in the middle of war, then its acceptable.
Tell it to people who arrested Zimmerman and Wilson. We're in the middle of the race war and the Jews are trying their hardest to make the whites lose.
>>124112545
It's better if the hero(ine) shows more of a selfish side and fights to protect a single person that is significant to him/her. Is more relatable and it doesn't come out as an altruistic faggot.
>>124110920
vash was the one time this archetype was done well though
>>124114569
>Vash
>well done
He was the most obnoxious kind of moralfag. Not even capeshit characters are that bad.
>>124110708
>MC is married to many women
>but will not defile his wives
only in japan
>female protagonist
Why can't Japs understand that women are scum and don't deserve to be protagonists of anything?
>>124114593
but then it bites him in the ass with legato
and he has the excuse of not being human to explain why he has such an insane outlook
not to mention he isn't the TRULY obnixious type that outright prevents other people like wolfwood from killing all the time, he'll try to avoid fights but sometimes wolfwood totally kills some dudes and all vash has to live with it
>>124112883
>best girl is a support character
>she is MC's favorite
>main girl is dumb as fuck
>>124114593
Depends on the vash you are referring to, Manga Vash is vastly superior to anime Vash, there was one part where he pounced on a fallen enemy and bitched him into staying out the remainder of the fight, he can be very intimidating when he wants to be.

>>124114862
>he dies 5 minutes later anyway
Thats why I hate this shit, on one hand they want to keep the mcs from being murderers, but they also know they can't save/reform every bad guy so they pull shit like that, like how toriyama used vegeta to get rid of most of the bad guys on namek so Goku coulds kick ass but still keep his hands clean.
>MC, male or female, whose main trait is "good at nothing".
>>124114272
He did it to experiment as one of his kills.
>>124115469

>>124110708

>Will actually save the villain if he's in danger
>>124115653
They've reset the world so many times now I really wish they would just fucking kill the joker. Make him like Kenny and see how many times and in how many different ways you can kill the mad clown before the world resets.
>>124111595
well if that person is going to kill more people if you dont kill them then you are an accessory; thats literally how the law works; if you know and dont say anything, you can be charged
doesn't work that way in comics (cape) and anime mainly because recurring villians are more commercially viable or something
>>124113385
> "he was the good guy all along" stories
Are there really stories that's NOT like that in the last decade besides some shounenshit?
>>124115752
He's immortal now.
>>124116255
So a great wasted opportunity. He's "died" like what 2 times? Implied in TKJ and in TRTDK, awesome.
>>124116306
There was the end of A Death in the Family, but that was a very obvious "they didn't find the body so he's going to be back before long."
>MC goes into a fit of rage after losing someone important to him
>Powerup only happens once in the entire show and never brought up again
>MC comes across large amount of money or treasure

who would you rather have as an MC.
Gon or Naruto
Baam or Shi-Woon Yi (the breaker)
Moralfags are shit
>>124110871
Lol this shit right here pisses me off man.
>>124117739
I'm not too caught up on naruto, does he ever catch any bodies, seems like he'd have to considering his line of work.
ITT: Edge
>>124117739
All shit.
>>124118037
Nothing wrong with that.
Despite people using mecha as a prime example of this, Tomino usually has his protags be fine with it a ways in. Hell, in his least violent show, Loran hesitates to shoot down an enemy on the moon for half a second, tops.

Here you go, a guide to knowing a shitty MC.
(Protip: just about every MC is shit)
>>124120126
That's because Japan has a really hard time grasping the concept of being subtle and go for extremes rather than the more interesting middle ground.
Not that there aren't exceptions.

Why thank you.
>MC makes a big deal about killing humans but murders other species without a second thought
If the entire gimmick moralfags have is not to kill why can't they just cripple them to the point they can't do anything?
>MC/villain gives no damn about what is happeneing and is only there for one thing.
