Hate Sink: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Resident Evil 2]]'' is unusual for the Resident Evil series (along with Resident Evil 3) for not featuring Albert Wesker, since at the time he was thought to be deceased after the Tyrant impaled him in the chest (and even if he were, one could argue he's [[Evil Is Cool|too cool]] to qualify for this trope, at least after he gained powers). The main antagonist of the game, William Birkin, though responsible for Raccoon City being infected with the T-Virus (which inevitably leads to a nuke destroying the city when the zombies grow too numerous for even the military to handle), was shown to [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones|love his family]] and was simply trying to recover the G-Virus, his life's work, from Umbrella before leaving the company. So whose left to hate? None other than Brian Irons, the corrupt police chief who not only was responsible for keeping STARS from revealing the truth about Umbrella (even though both STARS and BRAVO were devastated by the creatures that they had created), but was also taking bribes from Umbrella, is [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil|violently aggressive]] towards women, prevents survivors from escaping Raccoon City (including his own men who he shoots when he believes that he is infected with the T-Virus), and last but not least, kidnaps the mayor's daughter and kills her so that he can stuff her as a trophy.

* Volgin of ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater]]''. His [[Establishing Character Moment|first action]] is blowing up his allies with a nuclear bomb, [[For the Evulz|for the hell of it]]. However, despite being ([[Jigsaw Puzzle Plot|relatively speaking]]) the [[Big Bad]] of the game, he's not the main antagonist - the game is much more interested in the relationship between Naked Snake and [[The Messiah|The Boss]]. Volgin simply serves as 1) A [[Homage]] and [[Affectionate Parody]] of ''[[James Bond]]'' villains; 2) a [[Foil]] to The Boss; and 3) a form of catharsis before [[The Reveal]]. Not to mention the fact that if it hadn't been for the stunt he pulled with the nuke, ''the entire series'' would probably had never happened.

* ''[[Amateur Surgeon]]'' is a wacky medical comedy in which the patients are [[Laughably Evil|hilariously]] [[Affably Evil|sympathetic]] criminals who can't be hated due to their hijinks, so we have the [[The Heavy|main villain]] of ''the entire series'' and Alan's [[Arch Enemy|arch-nemesis]] {{spoiler|Dwayne Pipe}}. He's a [[The Sociopath|sociopathic]] [[Serial Killer]] whom his horrible misdeeds include: {{spoiler|[[Moral Event Horizon|killing a million patients]] (including [[Vigilante Man|Aureola]]'s parents) and blaming [[The Mentor|Dr. Bleed]] for it (ruining their lives in the process); poisoning Bleed when uncovered and [[Kick the Dog|mocking Alan about it]]; disguising himself as [[President Evil|The President]] and ruining [[The Hero|Alan]]'s life by closing his hospitals and making him lose contact with his family; forcing [[The Woobie|Bradley]] to kill Alan and [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown|beating him to near-death]] when he refuses to...}} All of this for [[revenge]] and [[For the Evulz|fun]]. Every one of his deeds are taken [[Knight of Cerebus|in a much more serious way]] compared to the others, and settles his status as [[Vile Villain Saccharine Show|an horrifyingly dark villain in an otherwise lighthearted game]]. Not to mention, his levels are possibly [[Nintendo Hard|the hardest]] in the entire game, making him a [[Goddamned Boss]].

** And if he wasn't hate-worthy already, he {{spoiler|used his own clone, Hubris, as a pawn, becoming the [[Big Bad]] of the third game and carrying out the [[Evil Plan]] of poisoning everyone in sight in revenge for Dwayne's imprisonment.}} Oy...
