Special:Badtitle/NS90:Talk:Complete Monster/Fullmetal Alchemist/Examples that should remain here. (2)


 * Shou Tucker - His actions being truly heinous and horrific by the standards of the work, even given his scale and resources he has to work with? Treated seriously by the narrative and abhorred by other characters? Lacking a Freudian Excuse or good justification for his villainy? Devoid of redeeming qualities, showing no remorse for his crimes and never finding redemption? Check on all counts. That he's a under-resourced, cowardly, pitiful little nobody with zero ambition and motivated by petty self-interest and mad desperation to keep his alchemist licence, yet somehow managed to commit a horrifying atrocity against his own family (his wife, his toddler daughter, and his dog) that shook the Elric brothers more than the crimes of bigger, badder villains in the series says a lot about his qualification. This guy went so beyond the pail that the creator found it fitting to send him to Hell for his revolting actions and lack of human decency.


 * Father - Though his nature and morality seems alien, he shows full comprehension of human morality and knows full well the unethical ramifications of his actions, but he simply doesn't care since he puts his sinful agenda and desire to become God and wipe out life he deems unworthy above all else. He showcases no redeeming qualities, no Pet the Dog actions, no goodwill towards other characters, and no remorse for his evildoing. He might have some pitiful qualities, but those aren't the same as truly mitigating factors since he ends up unrepentant and irredeemable.


 * Zolf Kimbley - The 2003 anime incarnation does qualify, whereas his manga and Brotherhood incarnation plays with the trope. From his own perspective and from a larger narrative standpoint, he's not a Complete Monster, but he still commits heinous crimes and behaves in such a way that puts him in the trope's territory several times over. He essentially exists to blur the line on the Moral Event Horizon.


 * Mugear - Given the space of his setting and what he had at his disposal, his actions were as heinous as he could manage them to be, and showed no mitigating qualities in the slightest.


 * Basque Grand (anime) - His My Country, Right or Wrong stance is really a convenient excuse he uses to keep pushing a terrible military agenda and committing atrocities against others. He's an cruel, unethical absolutist of a Knight Templar who expresses no remorse for his deeds, no redemptive qualities, and no adequate justification for his behavior and actions - he's simply an asshole.


 * Envy (anime) - All of his monstrosity from the manga and Brotherhood is in-tact, but the alteration of his nature (he's now more of his own person rather than an extension of Father's sinfulness) and the removal of any qualities that could make one sympathetic to him puts him firmly in this trope, as his character now aligns perfectly with the criteria required for qualifying. This includes his Freudian Excuse, which is completely insufficient in explaining why he is the way he is. He's a sadistic bully because he wants to be. His manga counterpart is extraordinarily vile too, but it's more due to the worst aspects of Father than Envy himself as an existing entity.


 * Pride (anime) - Any redeeming qualities he might have seemed to show are proven to be a total sham - he's truly a self-interested megalomaniac who's actions are heinous enough by the standards of the work to qualify him for the trope.
