Beauty Equals Goodness: Difference between revisions

Line 233:

** Virtually all of the common criminals are butt-ugly. I guess breaking the law only makes you ugly if you do it without the help of a Shinigami.

* The psychopathic [[Complete Monster]] Johan is easily ''[[Monster (Manga)|Monster]]'''s best-looking character.

** Naoki Urasawa puts about as much stock in this trope as Pratchett does (read: none). {{media-|kenji.JPG| This guy here}} is the hero of ''[[Twentieth Century Boys (Manga)|Twentieth Century Boys]]'' (whose [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]] team of freedom fighters includes, among others, an old homeless man and a guy best described as a human frog). {{media-|pluto.JPG| The sinister-looking guy here with the receding hairline}} is one of the good guys in ''[[Pluto (Manga)|Pluto]]''.

* Beautifully averted in ''[[Paprika (Literature)|Paprika]]''. The obese Tokita appears to have no deep and dark issues with his weight, being a [[Genius Ditz|happy, brilliant, affable scientist]], ''and'' it turns out {{spoiler|the girl of his dreams, Chiba, is plenty enthralled with him as well, and they get married!}}

* Commonly subverted or played with in ''[[One Piece (Manga)|One Piece]]''. Ugly characters often turn out to be stalwart and good in their own right, and more conventionally attractive characters can be really, really awful or kind of ambiguous at best.
