"Johnny Depp only knows how to play quirky roles"
I guess Ed Wood, Donnie Brasco, Fear and Loathing, The Ninth Gate, Blow, Finding Neverland, Public Enemies etc didn't happen.

Snape fans are just the worst. They'll do anything to convince themselves that he was the true hero all along. BUT HE WAS NICE TO HER!!!!! [/Men's Rights Activist] Yep, dude was like the ultimate Nice Guys™. Hell, he wanted Voldemort to kill James and Harry because it meant that he would be one to comfort Lily. I don't even have a reaction gif that can describe my thoughts on that.

Lily Potter is a heartless whore for choosing James Potter and not returning poor Snape's affections. I don't know anything at all about this scenario or even what this is from, but since the girl ends up with a guy who has the same last name as her, I just assume they are related and I completely understand what the objection would be. People who are related should not be involved with each other romantically. Unless its specifically for porn purposes, that is. It's from Harry Potter. His parents' names were James Potter and Lily Evans. Just referred to her as Lily Potter because, you know, they got hitched.

Along the lines of Snape, the Phantom (of the Opera) for all his loneliness and disfigurement, is still a obsessive, entitled asshole who kills, kidnaps, & blackmails to possess a young woman barely out of her teen years, and uses his threats to get his opera performed. For all intents and purposes the guy's a basement dwelling creep pissy that the girl he likes is with someone else and forces people to act in his own self insert fanfic.
But Raoul's the asshole because... he can't sing as well as Erik I guess.

Add me on to the "I hate Snape" train. He had a stalker crush on a girl? Oh well that makes up for the almost twenty years of child abuse he put students through!

Lily Potter is a heartless whore for choosing James Potter and not returning poor Snape's affections. Because Ward had an abusive childhood, that absolves him of any and all crimes he commits in Agents of Shield. f*** Ward! He tried to kill Fitz and Simmons, and in the process he broke Fitz. That's not even getting to him showing no remorse for his actions, being a douche to Fitz, and shooting Bobbi. The bastard should have a bullet put in his head.

On a related note, I cannot wait for Black Mass. I'll second the Shadow example, he's more of an anti-villain than anything. And once again I point to the comics as an example, but yes, even he comes off better there too.

Hm, first one that comes to mind is the whole Silent Hill 4 wasn't a Silent Hill game at first. Silent Hill 4 was always a Silent Hill game. If I understand correctly, there is a teensy bit of truth to it in that it wasn't meant to be one during the pre-production stages. So basically, it's technically true, but only in the sense that after they started bouncing ideas, someone said "hey, wait a minute, we already have a psychological horror action-adventure franchise. Why don't we just make it a sequel instead of competing with out own work?". Speaking of Silent Hill, the idea that the monsters are actually people and the main characters are hallucinating. I'm sorry but that just does not make sense. Why are there people you see as normal people, then? And how come there's so few monsters when, if you really were going on a delusional killing spree, you'd think they'd be all over the place on account of the cops, if not the military, coming after you? How come no-one mentions how weird it is that people keep going on murder sprees there? How are the characters who w know for a fact make it out of the town, such as Harry Mason, immediately arrested, if not killed? What about the many monsters that clearly do not act in a way that any human could? What I find particularly irritating about this theory is that it's entirely based on a single random line of dialogue spoken by Vincent in the third game: "Monsters? They look like monsters to you?". Yeah sure, clearly the insane guy who works for a homicidal apocalyptic cult has the right idea. Seems to me like it'd make more sense that it's meant to show that HE's crazy for NOT seeing them as monsters. And yet, despite this whole theory relying entirely on that one insignificant detail, many people just won't let go of it and insist that it's true. I also love the fact that they believe that quote, but not the one right after that where he says "don't worry... it's just a joke!". Actually there is other evidence other than Vincent. For example, in Silent Hill 2 if you go back to where you kill the first lying figure there's police tape all over the place. But I won't go into it because it is kind of involved. But in Silent Hill 3 the Missionary enemy IS a human being. The Book of Lost Memories companion guide, authored by the creators, states this. I wouldn't bet against the Scrapers being cult members too since they have the same design. And then there's Leonard.

This one might need more punch-up time and I gotta head to bed soon, so I'll just say it, make a quick point and let you kids tear me apart.
Lisa Simpson and Brain Griffin are annoying because they're always portrayed as "correct" and any character in the series who disagrees or any human in the real world who does is wrong.
These characters are basically considered the "voice" of the their shows. They are the characters that the writers, as a group, funnel their actual feelings through. Yet these characters NEVER end up winning and always play the fool.
Lisa drones on about vegetarianism, she's proven the asshole. Brian carries on about what a great writer he is, he's always portrayed as a hack. He carries on about atheism, even the damn show said, "Jesus lived with us for a week, what more do you need?"
These two press their points more than others, but always play the fool. Peggy Hill can be tossed into this group as well. They're kind of pushy, but in the context of the show, they're always in the wrong in some manner.
I say this even as I'd match up totally with Lisa and Brain as philosophy.

Hell, the whole point of the series is that the monsters are manifestations of the characters' psyche, forcing them to face their inner demons, so them being regular people and the main characters just turning out to be crazy would be completely asinine. And again, if the police DID get involved, how are they not catching James? What, are they having trouble catching a guy who goes out of breath after running for thirty seconds? And you'd think his father would bring that up in The Room. "My son disappeared in Silent Hill. Oh yeah, and he also killed dozens of people. I keep forgetting that tiny detail". I can admit that some of the monsters probably were human in the past (and indeed, some explicitly were) but by the time you come across them, they definitely are monsters as evidence by stating, for example, that the Missionary was "transfigured" by Claudia. Also, considering the context, I think they meant to say that the cult don't think of him as a monster.

Rihanna deserved to get beaten up. Yep, some female Chris Brown fans actually posted shit like that. They probably still believe it. I'm more befuddled by her wanting to get back with him, if anything.

Also, considering the context, I think they meant to say that the cult don't think of him as a monster. Well the accepted theory, from what I see, is that the Missionary, the Scrapers, Leonard and the hospital staff from SH1 are all human or at least were at one point (the doctors and nurses in SH1 seem to be possessed by the same parasite that gets Cybil as well as the scene where Lisa turns). Then you have no canon sources like one of the shitty Silent Hill comics where a guy changes into a monster right in front of the protagonist and Silent Hill Revelations where Claudia and the Missionary are one and the same for some reason. On the other hand Vincent seems to like f***ing with Heather. You know the guy on the disconnected payphone that wishes Heather happy birthday is Vincent's voice actor? I don't think that's a coincidence. So yeah, most of the monsters are manifestations. But not all.

Yeah but my point is, the idea that ALL monsters are regular humans and the characters are just crazy and going on rampages while believing they're monsters makes no sense and is without a doubt the result of people going nuts over a single line of dialogue in one game spoken by a guy who, as you rightfully point out, only said that to f*** with Heather.
