Did the coroner rule it death by misadventure or did they charge you with homicide?
>>
>>68031780
It's being done in Law abiding citizen.
It doesn't work because you can't build up a character enough to be liked, and then build up again for you to hate him in two hours.
It doesn't even work on real life.You like people, or you don't. You won't change it unless it's something personal.
>>
>>68032554
Is death by misadventure a real term used in those circumstances?

If that's the case suicide is off the table

That says more about you than reality. You value loyalty over integrity.

I just like Bad guys that have principles.

That they're not just some ultimate dickbag whose purpose is to be an unlikable cunt that everybody can root against. Maybe they're ruthless & unforgiving, but they have certain values that are evident in their actions.

Same with antagonists having reasonable motivations. Too many shows conflate "antagonist" with "villain". That because they oppose the protagonist that means they must be devious or a "bad guy", and this is an excuse for the villain to have no motivation EXCEPT to be as EVIL as possible. I like shows where its morally ambiguous. Where the protagonist isn't always on the moral highground.

This is how I know you are a newfag in life. EVERY movie is like that bro.
The only exeptions are fantasy movies like LotR when the good guys are undeniable plain and simple good guys figthing undeniable darkness bad guys.

>character doesn't tell unnecessary lies to his friends or partner
>instead he comes clean right off and they try to figure out how to deal with the situation together

I've been watching a lot of drama shows lately and the constant unnecessary lying and forced drama just makes me crazy. And don't mean people should never lie or anything, but it'd be interesting to see things play out more straightforward for once.

No. Most Hollywood movies clearly give the protag the +4 high ground bonus and have, at best, minor levels of ambiguity. Kingsman is one of the few popcorn flicks that really goes beyond this.

>>68033553
Yeah, but even though the character does something questionable, the writers work their balls off to justify everything so there's no chance in hell the audience would even slightly dislike the character.

This is one of the reasons I like the Saw franchise. They humanize Jigsaw in the latter movies and give him a reason to be who he is

That never really works on me, I just continue rooting for them
eg. Breaking Bad, Hamlet
