Good Is Not Nice: Difference between revisions

Line 269:

* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', Buffy herself. Giving quarter to vampires and other demons isn't a good idea in the Slayer's line of work, as they will never give you any in return. Buffy rarely makes any attempt to spare her foes.

** Kendra was even more brutal. Sure, one can't hold it against her for assaulting Angel (he's a vampire, she's a Slayer, do the math, it wasn't personal) but seriously, did she ''have'' to lock him in a cage in a warehouse with a skylight, forcing him to wait it out until the sun rose? At least Buffy doesn't prolong their agony.

* [[Luther]] is this. As much as he can at times [[Rabid Cop|be a jerk to subordinates and suspects alike]], he still is a genius who passionately solves crimes. (And seriously, many people he has to do with aren't better.)

* [[Tatort]] has several examples, such as inspector [[Cowboy Cop|Horst Schimanski]] or pathologist [[Dr. Jerk|Prof. Karl-Friedrich Börne]].

* The titular character of [[Professor T]] is this, at least in the German version. As much as he is an [[Insufferable Genius]] who keeps emphasizing the incompetence of his students and the police department, he is really dedicated to his work when he helps solving crimes. Also, he slides more and more into [[Jerkass Woobie]] territory over time with his [[Defective Detective|mental illness]], [[Dark And Troubled Past|tragic backstory]] and hard luck, and he appears to get somewhat nicer towards the end. The final episode pretty much redeems him - {{spoiler|he is [[Driven to Suicide]] after his love interest gets murdered, and the murderer turns out to be someone he trusted.}}
