Face of a Thug: Difference between revisions

There is a real life 'condition' called resting bitch face (especially on the internet). Someone with this, when at ease, has a face that falsely conveys that they are "angry, annoyed, irritated, or contemptuous". This is as prevalent in males as it is in females.

{{examples}}

* [[Slam Dunk]]: Sakuragi is considered scary, but that's mainly because of his bright red hair. Miyagi's delinquent aura seems to come 100% from his face, however.

* Woo-Soo Choi, of ''[[Quantum Mistake]]'' is a studious boy who has swapped bodies with Kang Too-Jee, a delinquent who spent most of his time getting into fights. Woo-Soo Choi, relying on Kang Too-Jee's reflexes, is capable of putting up a fight, but most of the time, just wants to talk it out with the other guy. (This pretty much never works.)

 

== [[Comic Books]] ==

* Marv from ''[[Sin City]]'' was so ugly, they had to resort to [[Special Effects]] to recreate his looks. He made a [[Kubrick Stare]] or two throughout the movie as well.

 

== [[Literature]] ==

* In ''[[The Illiad]]'' and ''[[The Odyssey]],'' Several people refer to Odysseus himself as having "the face of a brute," and recount their surprise when he turned out to be a [[Genius Bruiser]] [[Guile Hero]].

 

* An episode of ''[[My Name Is Earl]]'' dealt with this trope.

* Gentaro Kisaragi, the protagonist of ''[[Kamen Rider Fourze]]'', dresses as a [[Delinquent]] with [[Delinquent Hair|slicked-back hair]]. However, he's actually an affable goof who quite literally wants to be [[Friend to All Living Things]] ([[Beware the Nice Ones|who can still kick ass if need be]]).

* The [[Monster of the Week]] in the ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'' episode "Yellow Fever" is the ghost of a man who was murdered as a result of this trope.

* ''The Diamond Arm'' (an old Soviet comedy directed by Leonid Gaidai) has the protagonist, when he was slightly paranoid about bandits, at night runs into this guy. A huge chap in leather, twirling a skull-shaped key charm, who asks for a smoke (pretty common in USSR, but also stereotypical thug's approach) in grim or slightly threatening tone. He is {{spoiler|completely harmless and doesn't even move, other than twirling his key charm}}.

 

== [[Video Games]] ==

** Detective Badd is an imposing, gruff figure, but he's practically a second father figure to Kay. He gives her Swiss Rolls and distracts her with 'important detective assistance' to keep her mind off {{spoiler|her father's death}}.

* Hayden from ''[[Harvest Moon]]: Tree of Tranquility/Animal Parade.'' It's a bit of an [[Informed Ability]], because he looks as cute and [[Chibi]] as everyone else, but according to characters in-game, his bearded face and [[Big Ol' Eyebrows]] are so offputting they ''scare children.'' Which is sad, because Hayden is a [[Real Men Wear Pink|domestic,]] [[Friend to All Children|softhearted]] [[My Local|bartender]] who's almost universally liked in the town.

* ''[[Corpse Party]]'' has Yoshiki Kishinuma. He enjoys teasing Satoshi, but so does everyone else, and he's a pretty decent guy overall.

* Amounts of casts in ''[[Inazuma Eleven]]'' look like thugs and bullies like Someoka, Builder, Tobitaka, and other recruitable characters whose faces are just plain scary and weird. To put it, Someoka looks very similar to Garret example above.

 

== [[Web Comics]] ==

* Rocko Sasquatch in ''[[The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob]].''

* In ''[[Axe Cop]]'', all mermaids are good but have mean-looking faces, apparently because they thought scowls indicated happiness and smiles indicated anger. Axe Cop, unaware of this, {{spoiler|murders one by accident. After learning that mermaids are all good and that this is the first time he ever killed a good guy, he immediately breaks down in tears.}}
