Failure Hero: Difference between revisions

Line 120:
** It really says something when even the most badass character on the show, Brock Sampson, is a failure. Brock was a promising college football player who had to quit school because he accidentally killed a man on the field. Then he goes off to OSI, where he gets paired with a guy tagged as a crazy conspiracy theorist by the department. Despite being as awesome as he is, he gets assigned <s>guard</s> babysitter duty to Dr. Venture, a washed-up, sociopathic [[Omnidisciplinary Scientist]], and his [[Cloudcuckoolander]] kids. He's viewed as just about as much a waste of great potential in his field as Dr. Venture in his own. On top of everything, he can get any woman on the planet, except the one woman he actually loves.
* [[Chuck Jones]]' enterpretation of [[Daffy Duck]] was meant to represent a polar opposite of [[Bugs Bunny]], constantly attempting to take on [[The Ace]] role, be it a super hero, a western sheriff or a detective, only to get his ass handed to him by even the most incompetant of villains, with real heroes Bugs or Porky usually clearing things up. Other directors occasionally placed Daffy as a bumbling hero as well, [[Depending on the Writer|though it varied]] whether he was an actual failure or not.
* Season Five of ''[[Samurai Jack]]'' has Jack ''believe'' himself to be this, although [[Subverted Trope| he's proven wrong by the end.]]
