An antihero was not and is not a “bad guy who does good things”. It’s a person who lacks the usual hero characteristics taking up the role of a hero.

Shrek is the perfect example of an antihero.

An ugly big green ogre who is rough and uncouth, sent on a quest that isn’t his own, yet still fulfills the role of hero.

This gives me hope that I will like this version.

The Monster’s speech is, by far, the most compelling part of that story.

That person really feels entitled to inflict their children’s bad behavior on everyone else around them.

If you ever see such a thing, please let me know. My areas of expertise lie in other places.

It’s honestly getting to the point where I almost wish someone with know how would train an AI to block AI slop from my internet

I keep seeing these types of articles periodically and the reductionism is always assumed to be valid. It bothers me so much.
