Title: Which fictional character do you like, that you wouldn't like in real life? Post by: Dave Gray on April 25, 2012, 12:16:46 pm Mine is Batman.
I love Batman. He's my favorite super-hero. He's complex. But, if he were real, I'd probably think he was a douche. He's a disgustingly rich playboy by day. By night, he's a vigilante who wipes his ass with the principles of the constitution. Also, Dexter. Title: Re: Which fictional character do you like, that you wouldn't like in real life?

The Zombies in the Walking Dead - It means there has been a massive threat to the world,and the world has changed..The chances are likely that I'm going to be eaten.. Jaws - The thought of a vengeful animal is scary as all hell,and he tastes so good,I'm hungry right now...And I'm afriad he would eat me (even more strange thought coming from me in Missouri :D...) The monster alien in the Thing. - Shape changing alien,that can morph into any living thing,is scarey as hell too... I suddenly have a fear of sliding down the food chain.... :D Title: Re: Which fictional character do you like, that you wouldn't like in real life? Post by: Spider-Dan on April 25, 2012, 12:56:04 pm Most superheroes are vigilantes and effectively consider themselves above the law, so you can pretty much take your pick there.
I think I would consider Morpheus (from The Matrix) a delusional zealot in real life. He's a fun character in the movie, though. Title: Re: Which fictional character do you like, that you wouldn't like in real life? Post by: Dave Gray on April 25, 2012, 01:03:37 pm Morpheus is a good one.
I think that a lot of the Jedi from Star Wars would be a total buzzkill to be around. Really, any character that sees good/evil in complete black and white is probably bad for the real world.

Either someone is coming after me, or I become collateral damage.
Title: Re: Which fictional character do you like, that you wouldn't like in real life? Post by: Frimp on April 25, 2012, 05:21:09 pm Spiderman as portrayed by Toby Macguire. Too much of a dweeb as Peter AND Spidey.
Peter Griffin And I agree about the Jedi and Dexter. Title: Re: Which fictional character do you like, that you wouldn't like in real life? Post by: Buddhagirl on April 25, 2012, 05:30:55 pm Nancy Botwin on Weeds. She's awesome on that show, but you know she's incredibly selfish and flakey.
Title: Re: Which fictional character do you like, that you wouldn't like in real life? Post by: Sunstroke on April 26, 2012, 09:20:32 am I'd go with Batman as well...I have no patience for silver-spoon sociopaths in the real world.
Roland Deschain -EK I am a little surprised at this one. I think I'd like the Gunslinger in the real world, as long as I'm part of his ka-tet and not one of the Lobstrosities. ;D Title: Re: Which fictional character do you like, that you wouldn't like in real life? Post by: EKnight on April 26, 2012, 10:58:55 am The world NEEDS gunslingers, but he's just so dry...
"Which war was it?" Roland whispers. "What?" "The one where you got your sense of nobility and purpose shot off?" Plus, you know when it comes down to it, he's going to let you fall to the slow mutants, let Mordred eat you, or have some other horror befall you if it helps him get to the Tower. -EK Title: Re: Which fictional character do you like, that you wouldn't like in real life? Post by: Sunstroke on April 26, 2012, 11:36:28 am ^^^ I'd hold out for getting a brick dropped on my head. ;) Title: Re: Which fictional character do you like, that you wouldn't like in real life? Post by: EKnight on April 26, 2012, 11:42:10 am The whole split-personality-being impregnated by a demon thing makes me leary of associating with brick droppers. -EK
Title: Re: Which fictional character do you like, that you wouldn't like in real life? Post by: bsmooth on April 26, 2012, 05:33:37 pm The Punisher- not a fun guy to be around
The Joker- do I really need to explain? Dirty Harry- Yes there is a book series which is even more over the top than the movies. On a side note, I guess I should read the Gunslinger series. Title: Re: Which fictional character do you like, that you wouldn't like in real life? Post by: EKnight on April 26, 2012, 07:31:43 pm Most amazing thing I've read- in terms of creativity and sheer ambition- maybe ever. Eighth book just came out and the other seven tie into about thirty of his other novels to one degree or another. -EK

Put me down for the same. Title: Re: Which fictional character do you like, that you wouldn't like in real life?

Title: Re: Which fictional character do you like, that you wouldn't like in real life? Post by: Cdogg on May 02, 2012, 12:49:16 am Willy Wonka. Brilliant role, loved him in the movie, but would be a total douche in real life. Gives me the creeps...
