| Modern anime often features protagonists who are morally perfect and predictable. You know the type of super righteous, always doing the right thing, and rarely showing any shades of gray protagonist? Are you tired of the "perfect" protagonist trope? |

| Why would anyone want an evil/immoral protagonist/main character lol? Please answer that..... |
| Well, I don't think it's true that most protagonists these days are morally perfect because of anime like Chainsaw Man, Attack on Titan, Vinland Saga, etc. I do enjoy morally grey protagonists, but not more than righteous ones. I don't think that just because characters strive to do the right thing they're the "perfect" protagonist and lack any flaws or don't sometimes also do subjectively morally grey things to achieve their goals. Most characters have their nuances, whether super righteous or otherwise, and come with their flaws. Morally grey =/= better writing and super righteous =/= bad writing. |
| Depends on the story... When ppl are discussing annoying Protags, Deku always comes to mind. I didnt think Deku was really annoying but I just didnt really like the story of MHA thats why i didnt like it for example. Im just a big fan of variety. Someztimes its good... sometimes not |

XD, the 3 anime, probably some of the only ones, with those 'unperfect characters' are actually good anime.
Sorta' just proves that no one wants a 2D bland character which we've seen hundreds of times.

| @Hiimoohiii Sonny boy, Devilman: Crybaby (although Akira is righteous, he's extremely flawed and not all perfect), Banana Fish, When They Cry, Toilet-Bound Hanako-Kun, and probably a ton of isekai's that I will never watch. Just because a few shounens, series that are demographically aimed at younger boys and therefor may lack mature themes sometimes, often have a righteous protagonist does not mean that's how all anime generally are these days. |

You shouldn't use the most extreme example of the opposition to try to prove your point.

| @Hiimoohiii and why would I want to do that? |
Dragevard said: Are you tired of the "perfect" protagonist trope? Yes, very tired. There should be much more antiheros. |
This dance is the pinnacle of human achievement. |
| It is better to be a virtuous person than a pedo creep lol. |
| As a matter of fact, I do appreciate protags that are morally grey or have moments of immorality... but it doesn't mean I'm sick of the goodie two shoes act. All I can ask for is more variety, creativity, and sincerity. (also I feel the need to clarify that I despise "morally grey" protags that are creepy ass pedophiles... like rudeus or whatever his name is) |

| I hate how MAL is plagued with Dragevard and their constant random and annoying questions. What do you like Dragevard? Are you human? Why do you edit your questions after people post in you discussion? Seriously, contribute to your own discussions. End rant. Bottom line, if you don't like a character or aspect of a show then don't watch it and move on with your life...again assuming you are alive and not an AI bot that is. |
