Hate Sink: Difference between revisions

Line 135:

* ''[[Bug Fables]]'': While a vile piece of work himself, the Wasp King doesn't go out of his way to antagonize the good guys and is a pretty impersonal foe at the end of the day. The same does ''not'' go for [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing|Mothiva]], Team Snakemouth's explorer rival. Despite acting the part of a friendly bubbly popstar, it's all an act for her fans. When she's out of the public eye, she's a rude and antagonistic pain in the ass who attacks Team Snakemouth twice in order to steal their glory. The second time is especially bad, since she's threatening to ruin important negotiations with another kingdom to help save the world and doesn't give a damn when [[The Big Guy|Kabbu]] tells her this. The one guy she's decent to is her partner Zasp, but that's because he's useful to have around. If he falls in battle first during Team Mothiva's boss fights, she's every bit as rude and bitchy to him as she is with everyone else.

* As befitting of one of the [[Darker and Edgier|darkest]] takes on the [[Batman]] universe, the ''Batman: Arkham'' series has quite a few nasty, despicable punks that will make you want to bash their skulls in with a Batarang.

** Unlike most incarnations who are classy, dignified, and possess ''something'' resembling a redeeming quality, the [[Adaptational Villainy|Arkhamverse's Penguin]] is a crude, classless thug of a man who milks every bit of screentime he has to make the player hate his guts. He's as cruel as the Joker but with none of his charm, and when he isn't horribly killing or torturing someone, he's usually screaming death threats at his men or smugly taunting a helpless victim he's about to do horrible, ''horrible'' things to. Thankfully he's also a [[Dirty Coward|huge coward]], which makes his freakouts when you turn the tables on him so deliciously satisfying. Ironically, ~~Copplepot~~ himself hates the Joker.

** Fellow classic villain Riddler doesn't fare much better. Here, [[Smug Snake|he's an insufferable douchebag]] who won't ''shut the fuck up'' about how much smarter he is than everyone else, and constantly taunts and belittles Batman while he's collecting his trophies and solving his puzzles. And while it's satisfying as hell to make him freak out when you keep proving that he's not as smart as he thinks he is, his immature [[Sore Loser]] mentality and tendency towards [[Rigged Riddle]]s makes him that much more obnoxious. Tellingly, most characters hate the guy as much as the player.

** [[Dirty Cop|Branden]] is the living embodiment of everything wrong with Gotham's police force before Commissioner Gordon cleans house. He and the cops loyal to him are corrupt bastards who are making underhanded deals with criminals and brutalize and arrest Gotham's homeless for no good reason. Meanwhile, Branden himself cheats on his wife and tries to have then-Captain Gordon killed in a prison riot he instigates. He's also an arrogant idiot who thinks he can go toe-to-toe with Batman - but luckily, the player gets quite a few moments to prove him wrong. [[Curb Stomp Battle|VERY wrong]].
