BlackHumor: Nobody mentioned [[DeathNote Light]] because Light is not a NietzscheWannabe. He's a WellIntentionedExtremist, which doesn't usually go well with nihilism.

MarkLungo: Well, I believe he's a little of both. AlternativeCharacterInterpretation, anyone?

Doctor Antipasta: Woah, who the hell is Tyler Briggs from ''FightClub''?
----
{{Ununnilium}}: By the last Dalek, do you mean in ''Dalek'' or ''Bad Wolf''?

LooneyToons: I'm still catching up. I only watched "Dalek" last night.

{{Ununnilium}}: Ah. ...*wipes your memory of this conversation helpfully*

{{fleb}}: I don't understand the Daleks example. They're self-worshipping Space Nazis, aren't they? I don't remember them ever caring about the philosophical implications of a material universe. Just "We rock; you all suck; die n00bs."

Troper: I've removed the Daleks. They actually have a pretty upbeat view of the universe- "We're great, but we'll be a whole lot better once everyone else is dead."

Do Orson Welles' speeches on the Ferris wheel in ''The Third Man'' -- "dots", and then the "cuckoo clock" speech -- count as NietzscheWannabe?

{{Gus}}: Well, yeah. Sorta. I think you could go more quickly to Sartre for the inspiration of that bit, but hey .. it is all about the angst.

Jordan: Another humorous Nietzsche Wannabe is the character Otto from A Fish Called Wanda. A question- does
Sweeny Todd from the eponymous musical fit this trope or the Darwinist one better?

{{DomaDoma}}: We are talking the fellow with the song devoted to the worthlessness of the human race and how we all deserve to die? From which point on he cuts a bloody swath in accordance with those precepts? Accompanied by dramatic chorus about moralizers and hypocrites? Put him in, no question. P.S.: Tim Burton has to stop being a tease and put out a trailer already.

{{Meta4}}: Does this only apply to villains? I think Raskolnikov from Dostoevsky's novel ''Crime and Punishment'' fits this trope perfectly (he believes that some people are naturally above the laws of morality and society, that they're entitled to any power that they can take; he then murders a pawnbroker to see if he's one of that privileged class), but he's the protagonist of the novel.

{{Meta4}}: Silly me, that makes him an {{Ubermensch}}, not a NietzscheWannabe.

{{Kizor}}: Er, removed a conversation on the main page about the horrific cruelty of life, oblivion, the inherent evil of men, the inefficiency of killing everyone, the price of wisdom, fluffy illusions of a religion, the utter futility and vileness of it all, and having to strive futilely because those who do not tend to suicide rather than breed.

MAN WHAT

Sorry, but I'm reasonably certain that you're on the wrong website.

{{Rissa}}: Cut this, more of the same.

* TruthInTelevision: The entirety of people putting in RealLife entries in DownerEnding (which tells you somthing about them already) seem to be composed of NietzscheWannabe wannabes. Um, guys? Isn't the very ''point'' of nihilism is that since life has no meaning, ''suffering'' has no meaning either and that we should do our best to draw our own meaning from it?
** No. It's impossible to draw a meaning from an inherently absurd universe. The solution is to either ignore it, kill yourself or [[TheStoner take massive quanities of drugs.]]
** Talking about a point to nihilism is so stupid that it's almost funny again. Things having a point is basically the ''opposite'' of nihilism. Try thinking about that again.

----
{{Cambdoranononononono}}: How does this one trope cover people who think everything is totally meaningless, people who think everyone is suffering and needs to die to be relieved, people who think everyone is evil and needs to suffer, ''and'' people who want everyone else to share their unhappiness? Am I misunderstanding what a nihilist is?

{{fleb}}: I'd guess it's not actually about nihilists; that's just what those types all get labeled as in TheThemeParkVersion of English vocabulary.

----

{{Haven}}: Excised some particularly [[TVTropesWikiDrinkingGame egregrious]] natter from under House.

** He is more of a Heroic Sociopath: hateful and unsympathetic toward his fellow man and reveling in torture. He is probably based on the real life sociopath, B.F. Skinner. This troper will add him to that section.
** Except he's actually inspired by SherlockHolmes, c'mon, Holmes, House; Watson, Wilson...
*** [[EpilepticTrees Along with having a substance of choice to abuse.]]
*** Also, the unnamed guy who shot House in one episode appeared as "Moriarty" in the credits, rendering this a CaptainObvious
*** House's cynicism towards his patients is generally justified, as most of the time they are lying. He's a JerkAss who loves the mystery. A Sherlock Holmes like mentioned before, not a Nietzsche Wannabe.
** And B.F. Skinner wasn't a sociopath.

MatthewTheRaven: Who is the current illustration? How does he add anything to the article other than being generic WhiteHairedPrettyBoy #349? And if we have to add a picture, why isn't it Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche and his epic moustache?

CountDorku: Because it's already been pointed out that Nietzsche couldn't have been a NietzscheWannabe - he's the real deal.
