#1: TREVOR PHILLIPS:
Trevor has been described as a difficult person to deal with, extreme, impetuous, vengeful, psychotic, unhinged, unpredictable, untamed, infamous, sociopathic and prone to violent outbursts and destructive rampages.
Although Trevor is this kind of person, he has shown many times how needy he is for love and care. He tells Michael repeatedly how much he mourned him, to the point that he got a memorial tattoo with Michael's name on it. As he was being confronted by Floyd and Debra, he told them how much he wanted to be with them. His relationship with Patricia was also a display of true love and, in his words, he enjoyed a lot the time spent with her.
Despite his weak relationship with Amanda and having a strained friendship with Michael, Trevor surprisingly cares for Jimmy and Tracey, viewing them as surrogate niece and nephew. Evidence of his caring is chasing Lazlow Jones when he does a sexual pose against Tracey as she performs a stripper-like dance and forcing him to take off his pants and dance in his underwear. Also, he will not allow Jimmy to drink alcohol when hanging out with him. Despite this, Trevor will insult Jimmy and Tracey when he encounters them outside of missions.
Trevor, despite his heartless behaviour, possesses an awareness for guilt. This is seen in the Strangers and Freaks mission Minute Man Blues in which Manuel; one of the innocent men captured by Trevor and the Civil Border Patrol members Joe and Josef on suspicion of being an illegal immigrant in the previous mission An American Welcome. Fearlessly stands up to him, despite Trevor pointing a gun on him..
#2: JOHN MARSTON:
John kills, lies, tortures, steals and frightens without without remorse.
But will often feel bad afterwards.
In fact. John is actually very kind and generous man.
And without the players control, he will never harm innocent citizens..
#3: MICHAEL TOWNLEY:
Despite all of the negatives, Michael does possess a good side to his personality. He is a very considerate individual, as he paid Franklin for doing what he was forced to do and drive through the front of his boss' business, even though the latter broke into Michael's mansion. Despite all the problems he has in his family, he dearly loves them but is frequently angered with Tracey's social life, Jimmy being jobless, lazy and a video game addict and Amanda spending most of his money and cheating on him. However, after reuniting with his family, Michael's family issues slowly started to dissolve.
It should also be noted that it's very clear that Michael cares for his friends more than he shows. If you choose to kill Trevor in the end Michael will stop hanging out with Franklin because he is devastated by Trevor's death. If you choose to kill Michael, his extremely aggressive behavior towards Franklin shows that he loved him as a friend and can't believe Franklin didn't feel the same..
#4: DAWN LERNER:
Dawn is so far the least evil of all the main antagonists shown in the Walking Dead TV series, given that she is not a jealous, love-struck, delusional back-stabber like Shane; a mass murdering, power hungry monster like The Governor; a savage rapist like Joe (since Dawn is female, it is basically impossible for her to be a rapist); a nihilistic cannibal like Gareth; or an erratic abuser like Pete Anderson. Unlike all of these villains, Dawn actually shows remorse towards her victims, especially Beth, whom she did not mean to kill and was horrified and remorseful for what she did. We also see more of her soft and protective side when she was interacting with Beth, and deep down, Dawn was never truly an evil person nor was she good either, but more of a "greyish" character who really does want to rebuild civilization and make the world better, but she will kill anyone who opposes her goals or authority.
Because of this, fans could say that Dawn is the female version of the series' protagonist, Rick Grimes, due to their several similarities such as both being police officers, both being the leaders to their groups, both not taking kindly to those who threaten their authority or their group, both wanting the world to be better and to rebuild civilization, and both being in the "grey" area of their characters..
#5: DARTH VATER:
Clearly one of the most popular, beloved and iconic screen villains of all time. And yes, he does like to choke people with his mind. With the original trilogy, Vader took an entire generation on a field trip to understanding evil. In the first movie we were taught the fairy tale morality of good and bad. In the second he showed us that not everything is as black and white, and evil can take roots in all of us if we let it. By the third film we learned that evil can be redeemed, and one good deed can erase a lifetime of wi-fi choking.
Keeping in mind that absolute power corrupts absolutely, then the Sith Lord formerly known as Anakin Skywalker achieved true heroism by sacrificing himself to save his son from the lightning bolt guy. Such was the deep-seeded root of goodness inside him that he came back from the absolute corruption of the Dark Side and ultimately saved the day. Along with a bunch of spear-wielding teddy bears..
#6: SEVERUS SNAPE:
Snape is generally depicted as being cold, calculating, precise, sarcastic, and bitter. He strongly dislikes Harry and often insults him by insulting his father, James Potter. As the series progresses, it is revealed that his treatment of Harry stems from Snape's bitter rivalry with James when they were in school together. In particular, James and Sirius bullied Snape, which according to Alan Rickman caused the already lonely boy to further "shut himself in". Rowling further described the young Snape as insecure and vulnerable: "Given his time over again [Snape] would not have become a Death Eater, but like many insecure, vulnerable people he craved membership of something big and powerful, something impressive.[...] [He] was so blinded by his attraction to the dark side he thought [Lily] would find him impressive if he became a real Death Eater."
The adult Snape, on the other hand, is portrayed as very self-assured and confident of his abilities, to a degree that Rickman described as "full of himself." Director David Yatessaid Snape is a character with gravitas, authority and power. Snape typically displays a very calm and collected demeanor, rarely at a loss for words or taken off guard. His temper, however, is sometimes short where Harry is concerned and positively flares when dealing with his erstwhile tormentor Sirius, or when accused of cowardice. His otherwise impassive and aloof attitude seems to stem from his belief that people who cannot control their emotions are weak.
Like some other prominent members of Slytherin house, Snape is shown to be a clever and cunning wizard. He is intelligent and has a keen, analytical mind. In an interview, Rowling adds that Snape is immensely brave, and when asked if she considers Snape a hero, replied: "Yes, I do; though a very flawed hero. An anti-hero, perhaps. He is not a particularly likable man in many ways. He remains rather cruel, a bully, riddled with bitterness and insecurity—and yet he loved, and showed loyalty to that love and, ultimately, laid down his life because of it. That's pretty heroic!"
#7: RICK GRIMES:
Relying on his former police skills and survival tactics, Rick has become a battle-hardened survivor who will protect his family without question: In many ways, Rick has become like Shane, ready to kill without a moment's hesitation and not trusting anyone except for his group, and knowing that in the world that it is now, there are very few good people left and if you don't fight for your survival, then you will eventually die. In addition to his acting like Shane, Rick also obtains a few similarities to other primary antagonists that he has encountered and killed (or whom other members of his group have killed) in the past, particularly the Governor, Joe, and Gareth. However, unlike Shane, the Governor, Joe, and Gareth, Rick retains some of his humanity and honor for the sake of his family and friends, and looks to his friends for guidance in making sure that he doesn't completely lose his sanity, a direct contrast to these other antagonists who have almost completely sacrificed their humanity in favor of personal survival by any means necessary, unchallenged power and control over other survivors and giving into their worst inclinations for their own benefit..
#8: WILE E. COYOTE:
Look, it’s not malicious, he’s just hungry, okay? He lives in the middle of the desert, so just how much fresh bird do you think is available? There’s nothing evil about wanting something to eat, and the food chain isn’t meant to separate the good guys (the eaten) from the bad guys (the eaters).
It’s like the Road Runner (Acceleratii incredibus) doesn’t know his place, and that place is in the stomach of Wile E. Coyote (Carnivorous vulgaris). For 65 years that coyote’s been chasing that geococcyx (the actual scientific name for the road runner) with little success. Actually, make that no success. Really, Wile E. Coyote is a hero, a figure who stands as a shining example of ingenuity and perseverance. He may not be a hit with the vegan crowd, but that doesn’t mean anything.
You may think that Wile E. Coyote goes overboard with all the ACME stuff – dynamite, rockets, giant slingshots, etc. – but sometimes you can only get so far with the direct approach. Human hunters use high-powered rifles and scopes to hunt deer and other animals, is it so implausible that a coyote would go a little crazy with dehydrated boulders or earthquake pills?
#9: JASON VOORHEES:
Michael was a sociopath, Freddy was a child killer, the Cenobites were demons, and Leatherface was a backwoods inbred hick. But what did poor Jason ever do? In the game of Life, Jason Voorhees kept rolling snake eyes: he was born deformed, he apparently drowned while swimming in the lake when the camp counselors were supposed to be watching him, and when his mom tried to get him some Old Testament justice, the surviving counselor chopped her head off. From that point on, what’s a man left to do, on his own, in the middle of the woods with no formal education, a deformed face, and no practical skills? Well, when idiots keeping moving within spitting distance of your hovel and causing a ruckus with all their drinking, drugging and sexing, how’s a backwoods simpleton supposed to act?
#10: BOWLER HAT GUY:
After you realize that the Bowler Hat Guy is none other than Michael Yagoobian, the adult version of Lewis’s roommate at the orphanage, he becomes the character in the film who is most deserving of the audience’s sympathy.
As a young boy, Michael is more interested in baseball than his roommate's inventing hobby. However, after he missed the winning catch (cause his roommate was up all night).
The players beat him up and he never lets it go. No one wants to adopt him since he is so angry. He also believes that everyone hates him, despite a few that are willing to become a friend, he is too angry to notice. Eventually, the orphanage is closed down and he is left behind.
He spends the next 30 years in the orphanage, never changing out of his baseball uniform and listening over the radio tormenting himself listening to Lewis's successes. He finally decides that his current situation is Lewis' fault, reasoning that if Lewis did not work on his project keeping him up all night, he would've caught the ball and could've been adopted. He threw eggs and toilet-papers Robinson Industries as a pathetic attempt at revenge. Then, he meets Doris, who tells her story about being a helping hat, a slave to humans. She says that she is capable of more things, but Cornelius did not see her as anything else she was capable of doing. Cornelius thought she was shut down, but she escaped the lab and swore revenge, plotting to steal the Robinsons' time machine. Realizing his simple plan was inferior to what Doris had in mind, Goob added in the sabotage of the Science Fair to the hat's scheme. The two joined forces, and Goob took on the identity of Bowler Hat Guy..
