** [[spoiler: [[WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond The Joker]]]], if only because the Franchise/{{DCAU}} saved its very best VillainousBreakdown for last~ Oberyn

* WhatAnIdiot

** The [[VideoGame/{{Earthbound}} Mr. Saturns']] Zoom! Boing! Ding! ~ aNinjaWithAIDS

** Ross and Rachel on ''Series/{{Friends}}''. The entire show -- 10 seasons, 236 episodes -- is approximately 5,664 minutes long. There are literally ''seven'' minutes of that runtime that ''do not'' live in the shadow of Ross and Rachel's UnresolvedSexualTension: the three before it's introduced, and the four after it's wrapped up. (That being said, it may not pass the above test of "not becoming tiresome".) @/slvstrChung

** ''Franchise/Avatar'', everyone from kids, their pets, and the elderly. ~ @/MiinU

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild''. Expansive [[TheOverworld overworld map]], complete freedom to explore every nook and cranny, secrets galore waiting to be discovered, and open-ended gameplay. ~ @/MiinU

** Despite [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra Kuvira's]] militance and strong-arm tactics, the Avatar recognized their goals were essentially the same and admitted to seeing [[EvilCounterpart much of herself]] in Kuvira. ~ MiinU

** [[Manga/MakenKi Azuki Shinatsu]] has a B-rank Maken, but is an A-rank ability user[[note]]The Maken is the tool/weapon itself and ranked based on its overall power. The user's rank is based on their skill level at using their Maken and [[KiManipulation Element usage.]] Which makes Azuki unique among the cast as the only character whose skill level [[AcademicJock exceeds her Maken's level]][[/note]] and fought well enough to stalemate with an S-rank Maken user like [[OneManArmy Yan-Min]]! ~ @/MiinU

** [[Anime/VariableGeo Yuka Takeuchi]] takes the concept to its apotheosis. ~ MiinU

** [[Franchise/LupinIII Lupin III]], the longest running, most successful example in anime and manga, and still ''[[LovableRogue the best]]'' at it. ~MiinU

** [[VideoGame/Borderlands2 Handsome Jack]]: '''YOU ARE A BANDIT, AND I''' '''''AM THE GODDAMN HERO!!!'''''

** [[VideGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine "Once People, Now Fallen Into Despair"]] ~ newaccount

** ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist'' Episode 50. DAMN. ~ @/SomeDeadGuy
