That's not what an antihero is, m8

>>882595
>An antihero (or antiheroine) is a protagonist who lacks conventional heroic qualities such as idealism, courage, or morality
>>
>>882608
Yes. An antihero is a person who has human flaws and must overcome those flaws to become a hero.
Antihero is not somebody who does edgy shit but still fights the baddies

What bullshit revisionism is this?
Nowhere does it say that antiheroes must overcome their flaws, for it is their flaws that make them unconventional heros
>>
>>882575
That's not what an anti-hero is. An anti-hero is usually an antagonist or unwilling heroic individual. Usually how this is defined is someone who is forced or compelled against their will to do things that have to be done that they don't want to do that lead to a positive or heroic outcome.

I don't care how absolutely insane, violent, brutal, cruel or stupid he was - someone as ambitiously brave and borderline successful as that can only be a hero.
