Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Difference between revisions

* {{spoiler|Chairman Rose}} from ''[[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]'' is ''supposed'' to be a sympathetic [[Anti-Villain]] feeling forced to take extreme measures to protect the Galar region from an impending energy crisis. But any attempts at making him sympathetic fall short, not because he's too evil to sympathize with... but rather, too ''stupid''. {{spoiler|Galar's energy crisis isn't going to be a problem for '''thousands of years''', yet he's so impatient and eager to use the dangerous and vicious Eternatus as an energy source that he can't wait ''a single day'' to execute his master plan in a way that ''won't'' endanger an entire stadium of innocent civilians despite Leon's warnings}}. The fact that he ''is'' deeply remorseful for what he's done to the point of turning himself in to the police takes the edge off a bit, but a lot of players still feel that he comes off looking like an impatient dumbass instead of the noble [[Tragic Villain]] the game paints him as.

* Rocket Raccoon from ''[[Guardians of the Galaxy (2021 video game)|Guardians of the Galaxy]]'' is supposed to be a [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold|lovable asshole]] whose heart is in the right place, but he tends to come off as [[Jerkass|purely an asshole]]. He constantly whines, bitches, and complains about everything Star Lord does and throws tantrums that compromise the team's missions, but he blames all of the team's problems on him before {{spoiler|eventually ''ditching them'' for a bit in the middle of an important mission}}. While Star Lord can call him out for his behavior, he simply argues back and never genuinely apologizes for all his screwups, making him feel like the manchild the narrative and characters accuse Star Lord of being.
