Corrupt the Cutie: Difference between revisions

* Gilbert in ''[[Kaze to Ki no Uta]]'' is an especially tragic example of this.

* Wrath in [[Fullmetal Alchemist (anime)|the 2003 anime version]] of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' starts out as a kind and innocent kid who loves life, but after being corrupted by Envy and getting his memories back he becomes a sadistic psychopath. {{spoiler|He gets better eventually.}}

** '''"A little girl who believes babies come from storks growing up to be in pornos...[[Evil Feels Good|I love that kind of thing.]]"''' Makes you wonder what that TV show he used as his redeeming human characteristic to stop Shinobu from killing him actually was.

** In the anime he just comes across as obsessively in love, though. The fangirls love him.

* One episode of ''[[Hey Arnold!]]'' has Arnold's grandpa Phil, complete the last three years of grade school that he missed out on due to the Great Depression putting him out of school. As he enters the 6th grade, he goes from a [[The Ditz|ditzy]] yet amiable and lovable grandpa to a <s>juvenille</s> delinquent who, along with fellow 6th graders, tags dumpsters, sneaks into PG-13 movies despite being 81, and becomes a [[Jerkass]].

* Season 2 of ''[[Xiaolin Showdown]]'' had [[Magnificent Bastard|Chase Young]] did this to {{spoiler|Omi}}. First through type A and then by kidnapping Master Fung, leaving {{spoiler|Omi}} the only option [[To Hell and Back|to go into Ying Yang World to retrieve him]] and {{spoiler|[[Came Back Wrong|come back wrong]]}}.

* Terra from ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]''. She's introduced as a character so likeable, [[Plug N Play Friends|it doesn't take the Titans more than an episode to invite her into joining the team.]] However, {{spoiler|she's persuaded by [[Magnificent Bastard|Slade]] into joining him, so she can gain full control over her powers. She becomes so captivated in trying to do so, while also holding a grudge against the Titans (hammered in by Slade no less), she goes as far as repeatedly attempting to kill her friends}}. Because of this, she's possibly the most [[Love It or Hate It|polarizing]] character in the series.

** And the stupid thing is her corruption was just built on assumption. [[Poor Communication Kills|She never gave Beast Boy time to explain he didn't tell Robin about her powers]] before running off, it was just obvious from seeing her in action. And like Raven said {{spoiler|She more or less had a choice to stay with them. They always treated her as one of the team and even begged her to turn back. But no she choose evil, so meh.}}
