Overprotective Dad: Difference between revisions

Line 145:

* Jean Valjean in ''[[Les Misérables (novel)|Les Misérables]]'', even though he isn't Cosette's real father. At first this is partly from self-preservation, as he believes Marius (who has been exchanging glances with Cosette) is an agent of the police, but once he finds out that they have been secretly meeting he wishes Marius dead.

* A mild version in those parts of ''[[Legacy of the Force]]'' written by [[Aaron Allston]]. Wedge Antilles has two daughters. He insisted on having them carry two blasters when they were going out, and despaired when he found that one of them was dating another pilot, and due to the mission and secrecy he couldn't talk to her.

* '''[[Disgaea Hour of Darkness/Characters|Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!]]''' becomes this when he and [[Disgaea Hour of Darkness/Characters|Jennifer]] have a daughter named [[Disgaea Novels/Characters|Jane]] in the ''[[Disgaea]]'' [[Disgaea Novels|novels]]. The most noteworthy proof of this is that he absolutely does not approve of Jane’s romantic feelings for [[Disgaea Hour of Darkness/Characters|Laharl]], even though he should know that [[Noble Demon|Laharl]] [[Hidden Heart of Gold|would never hurt her]] and is [[Celibate Hero|not interested in a romantic relationship to begin with]].

* '''[[Disgaea: Hour of Darkness/Characters|Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!]]''' becomes this when he and [[Disgaea: Hour of Darkness/Characters|Jennifer]] have a daughter named [[Disgaea Novels/Characters|Jane]] in the ''[[Disgaea]]'' [[Disgaea Novels|novels]]. The most noteworthy proof of this is that he absolutely does not approve of Jane’s romantic feelings for [[Disgaea: Hour of Darkness/Characters|Laharl]], even though he should know that [[Noble Demon|Laharl]] [[Hidden Heart of Gold|would never hurt her]] and is [[Celibate Hero|not interested in a romantic relationship to begin with]].

* ''[[The Dresden Files]]'': Harry Dresden. When his daughter is kidnapped in "Changes", although it wasn't his original plan, {{spoiler|he wipes out an entire RACE OF VAMPIRES WITH THE SPELL THEY WERE PLANNING ON USING HER FOR.}}

* ''[[Washington Square]]'' brutally subverts this -- while the way Catherine's father treats her paramour Morris comes off as him wanting to protect his little girl from a man who's not up to snuff, in reality he only wants to protect his money from a prospective [[Gold Digger]].

Line 203:

* Proving that [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]], Gul Dukat from ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|Star Trek Deep Space Nine]]'' tends to overreact quite spectacularly to his daughter Ziyal's feelings for Garak. Roughing the tailor up in the middle of Quark's for holding Ziyal's hand before embarking on a dangerous mission comes to mind. Pretty dangerous, given Garak's past.

* In a case of [[What Could Have Been]], an episode was planned for ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek the Original Series]]'' in which Kirk would have courted Dr. McCoy's daughter. The storyline would have involved McCoy being torn between his friendship with Kirk and his desire to protect his daughter.

* In ''[[Community]]'' episode [[Community/Recap/S1 E18 Basic Genealogy|"Basic Genealogy"]], Pierce is shown to be this of his adult ex-step-children.

* In ''[[Community]]'' episode [[Community/Recap/S1/E18 Basic Genealogy|"Basic Genealogy"]], Pierce is shown to be this of his adult ex-step-children.

* Turk in ''[[Scrubs]]'' has an infant daughter but already plans to be this. He claims he won't tell his daughter that she has a vagina until she's 18. On the other hand, he's eager to get Izzie married to JD's son Sam.

* George in ''[[The George Lopez Show]]''. He tries to scare almost all of her boyfriends away, and succeeded with all but two of them.
