It just bugs me how often this trope is used for justification for a really strong antagonist, like say, Gilgamesh or Voldemort, not going full out on the protagonists, even though if they did, they could easily have won. They say Fatal Flaw. I say Plot-Induced Stupidity.
To be fair, pride can make you stupid. Not to say it's not an excuse for a full-on Ass Pull when some baddie decides to catch the Villain Ball.
To explain in as blunt a manner as possible to the first poster, I'll just say this; look on the Internet. Look at Chris-chan. Or any other person on YouTube, the news, any forum, or any person who's uploaded a photo of themselves on Facebook; pride cometh before some pretty dumb shit.
Okay, this is a little off-topic, but it really bugs me. I see a lot of artwork for the Seven Deadly Sins on deviantART, but nine out of ten times, they seem to portray pride as vanity. Is it just easier to render in a single drawing, or are most of the artists just looking for a way to make it look "pretty"? Or is it just easier?
Yeah, what bugs me is how negative this is portrayed. I mean seriously, is it that wrong to be proud of yourself for your achievements? Why always so negative?
