Old Complete Monster cleanup thread
Welcome to the Complete Monster proposal thread! This is the thread where new Complete Monster examples are vetted, approved, and written up. If you're looking for the general cleanup thread (for cuts, rewrites, expansions, and the like), please go here
Important: Before suggesting any new examples, please read the Frequently Asked Questions and Common Requests List; if you have any questions, the odds are high they are answered there. Additionally, please check here for the earliest date a work can be discussed (usually two weeks from the U.S. release date) and whether the work has already been reserved by another user.
Here is how the process works:
- If you have a candidate to propose, you can simply come right in and propose them! If the character's run is brief, such as a single issue of a comic book, then a simple summary of their actions and any potential redeeming qualities will be enough; for longer-running candidates, an effortpost (EP) might be helpful for organizing the proposal. An EP is not outright required, but please be mindful that if a post becomes too clunky and unorganized, it can be very hard for other people to follow.
- After the proposal, there will be a 72-hour discussion and voting period, where people may ask questions and vote on the candidate. The number of upvotes must outnumber the downvotes by at least five for the character to be considered "approved".
- Three days after the proposal has been made, if the character has been approved, you may post the writeup (the text to be posted on the trope page itself) on the thread and send it to the drafts page. Your candidate will soon be added to the CM subpage. If the work has a page, you should add your candidate to the relevant YMMV page. Voila! It's that simple!
Outside of this process, we do have a few ground rules:
- To keep the thread moving at a reasonable pace, there are some restrictions on when a proposal can be made. There should only be a maximum of four EPs posted both per page and per hour to ensure that nothing gets lost in the shuffle; additionally, each individual troper should only be proposing or writing up characters from a maximum of three works at a time (from initial proposals to end of their voting period). If your proposal would fall outside of either of these guidelines, we'd like to ask you to please wait until they would fit within; feel free to type them up on an outside document, and then when the time comes, you can just copy, paste, and post!
- No plagiarism of any kind. This is a very serious matter site-wide, as the website could get in actual legal trouble over this; as a result, this can very quickly lead to mod intervention. This can take many different forms:
- Direct plagiarism, i.e. wholesale copying. This is not only the easiest to find, but is also the most likely to warrant quick moderator intervention. To be clear, quoting in some places is perfectly acceptable, but it has to be very clear you're quoting from something else and it cannot be anything longer than a sentence or two - if you're quoting an entire work summary from Wikipedia, no one is going to believe you've actually consumed the work, so even if you cite your source, your candidate will be downvoted anyway.
- Self-plagiarism. Even if you can prove that you wrote the same text in both places, the site itself can't contain any of the duplicated text. If you already wrote something once before, it's not too hard to write it a second time.
- Using another site's work as a template for a proposal. Just because you don't copy and paste something directly doesn't mean it's any harder to detect if you're basing parts or all of your proposal on text someone else wrote. To be clear, this doesn't violate site rules and won't lead to mod intervention, but just like if you directly plagiarize, no one will believe you've consumed the work if you're clearly basing your proposal on something else. This thread largely operates on the honor system, and tweaking someone else's work to pass it off as your own is one of the fastest ways to lose trust.
- Votes must be for specific candidates, meaning no blanket voting (i.e. "yes to everyone I missed").
- If you are the first person to downvote a candidate, please provide an explanation of why when you do so. We're here for discussions above all, and a hit-and-run downvote doesn't facilitate anything.
- If a work is already reserved by another user, please don't comment on the work or any potential characters worth discussion before the discussion date. We know how exciting it is when a work has a keeper that you're waiting to talk about, but it's not fair to the person who reserved the work who is just as excited to lead the discussion to see the discussion getting spoiled before they get to do it. On the other hand, if the reservation only has one name attached, shoot them a PM - they may be down for a collaboration, which will get you in on the fun as well!
- Please keep the thread on-topic. While discussing the trope is fun and we encourage people to enjoy it, questions like "who's your favorite CM" are off-topic and can lead to thumps. That's the kind of question to take to people's PMs if they're willing. Similarly, while we encourage friendliness and familiarity with other users, posts should always have some kind of thread-relevant purpose; for instance, if you want to wish someone a happy birthday, feel free to, but if it's the only thing in the post, it's off-topic and needs something else alongside it. Again, though, while we strive for a friendly atmosphere, this is not Facebook; life updates are fun, but unless they have some kind of impact on your thread participation, please do not bring it here - we have Yack Fest for that.
- Please refrain from asking anything along the lines of "How Did We Miss This One?" In almost every case, the answer is simply "No one thought about it before". This Is a Wiki where everyone has different interests, and the fact that people missed a particular candidate, even one that seems like a textbook example of a trope or a character who is particularly iconic in pop culture, means absolutely nothing. The question is disruptive, has a simple and consistent answer, and provides nothing to any discussion.
- If you are suspended from parts of the website, it is still possible to participate!
- For users who are suspended from editing the wiki, you still have full access to this thread. You can propose candidates and write them up with no issues whatsoever; while you will have to ask someone else to post the entry to the relevant pages once it is done, all write-ups are considered thread-approved - as in, done by consensus - and thus doing so does not violate any rules regarding meatpuppeting.
- If you are suspended from the forums, your participation is limited but not impossible. It is still possible for a forum-suspended user to assist in creating the write-up for a character who has already been approved; as previously mentioned, write-ups are inherently considered a consensus-based edit and thus not tied to any one particular user. However, you can not assist in the proposal of a character; as a proposal is based around the forum rather than the wiki, doing so with a forum suspension qualifies as meatpuppeting.
- Please keep all discussions "in-house".
- What other wikis use for CM equivalents is irrelevant here.
- Please be wary of using other wikis, Fandom or otherwise, as sources of information. They are just as fallible as a site like Wikipedia in regards to accuracy because they can be edited by any user, just as this site can.
- Do not attempt to force a communication with an author in an attempt to gather evidence or settle a debate; besides the fact that this is a YMMV trope and thus author intent has variable weight depending on the circumstance, doing so may cross the line into drama exportation, which is prohibited site-wide.
If you would like to use an EP for your candidate, here's the general format. This format does not have to be followed exactly, but these are the main topics that need to be covered:
What is the work?
This is a brief summary of the work you're going to discuss. We don't need a full plot summary here, just however much we need to understand going into the discussion — it can even be as simple as quoting the summary on the work's page.
Who is the candidate and what have they done?
This is essentially the character's biography — who they are, their story, the crimes they commit, and, preferably (though not required), what happens to the candidate at the end. It does not have to include every single thing they ever do — for some villains, we'd be here all day if that was the case — but it should include the highlights of their journey.
Any redeeming qualities? Freudian Excuse?
This is where any potential redeeming characteristics or tragic backstory should be discussed. Do they have a tragic past? Do they show that Even Evil Has Standards or Even Evil Has Loved Ones? Maybe a Pet the Dog moment or two? This is where these should be discussed in full. Not every potential redeeming moment is a clear-cut disqualifier, but we should hear of any potential issues to ensure the character is discussed in full.
Are they bad enough?
A Complete Monster has to be particularly vile by the standard of the work they appear in. Therefore, you should look at what the character does compared to similar characters in the same work. This takes into account things like:
- Their resource level (a human Serial Killer can't stand up to an alien Omnicidal Maniac, but they can be bad by the standard of other human serial killers)
- The amount of time they have to work with (such as a one-shot character versus long-running antagonists)
- The quantity vs. quality of their crimes compared to others (someone with a lower victim count but far more visceral and personal crimes could be considered as equally bad overall as someone with a higher body count but less horror involved)
Essentially, this section is an analysis of the kinds of villainy shown in the work and an explanation of why this particular character's villainy stands out within it.
Final verdict?
This is where you post your final conclusion on the character in question. You can continue elaborating on your reasons or even just say a simple "yes" or "no"; at this point, we've heard everything we need to hear.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: This thread tackles very serious and dark matters on a daily basis. We will be discussing things like murder, rape, torture, human trafficking, crimes against children, and in particularly dark cases, several of these issues at the same time. We keep a lighthearted air, but all candidates carry the general assumption that these are awful individuals committing disgusting crimes. We ask that if you participate, you do so with the requisite seriousness such dark topics require; exclamations of how gross something is, whether serious or sarcastic, are disrespectful to the topics at hand, and if you cannot handle such topics, please do not participate.
And that's everything you need to know. Welcome to the thread!

Here is the Amnās writeup:
The Count of Years: Amnās is an evil spirit originally associated with the night sky. The only witness to Ecaîas’s creation of evil and needless suffering in an attempt to weaken the natural world so that the spirits may prosper, he brings the news to Iáinos, the creator of the universe, gloating that his creations have outsmarted him and ruined his universe. As such, when Ecaîas is sealed underground as punishment, Iáinos also makes Amnās stay on Almea’s surface until he atones for his gloating. Enraged, Amnās swears revenge on his maker and all who are loyal to him, and creates Soxāeco, a being wholly lacking in good, to assist him in ruining Almea as much as possible. They create the race of Ogres after learning that Iáinos created the Giants, and give their king Bōexurgo the order to make war on the Giants and kill them all. After all the Ogres and almost all the Giants are killed, Amnās creates the race of ktuvoks as soon as he finds out that Iáinos’s second species, the iliū, are even greater than the Giants. Being completely ignorant of love or community, Amnās hard-codes the ktuvoks to keep slaves by nature, as well as to kill and eat iliu children. He then tells the ktuvoks to destroy the iliū when they confront them about their child-eating, which plunges Almea into thousands of years of war. During the war, Soxāeco, with Amnās’s permission, steals a star from Heaven and attempts to use it to split Almea open, however, he is thwarted by the ilian hero Ambretāu talking the star down at the cost of his life, and Soxāeco is killed. Later, when the race of elcari are made, Amnās steals those of their children he can get his hands on, and brainwashes them into hating their parents enough to go to war against them on his behalf, killing and raping those elcari they captured who had not been corrupted. He further makes trolls to attack humanity, but the three races of Almea beat them back together, so Amnās whispers temptations into the ear of the human king Līxigōcas, playing on his pride and his inferiority complex to convince the rest of the human kings and the elcari to wage war on the iliū, at which point Amnās sics the ktuvoks and múrtani on them. As a result of the war, the entire human race falls into sin and can never regain its original state of grace. After this war ends, Amnās discovers a way to fashion the remains of Soxāeco’s star into a superweapon which he uses to wipe one of the repentant human kingdoms off the map, changing it from fertile land into a desert. He then gets into a Duel to the Death with the king of the iliū and kills him. Then he burrows deep underground in an attempt to find and free Ecaîas, knowing that this will destroy all life on Almea, and when Iáinos intervenes to stop him, he says he’d rather have all his own creations destroyed than let his enemies continue to live on Almea. Thus Iáinos confines him to the same prison as Ecaîas, but Amnās’s war destroys all civilization and brings humanity back to the Stone Age for 10,000 years. A greedy, tyrannical psychopath, Amnās is willing to destroy the world in response to not getting his way.

Way, way too long, around 300 words is around the upper limit for an entry and that's for major villains with countless crimes
Okay, how about this instead:
The Count of Years: Amnās is an evil spirit originally associated with the night sky. The only witness to Ecaîas’s creation of evil, he brings the news to the creator Iáinos, gloating that his creations have outsmarted him and ruined his universe.

Enraged, Amnās swears revenge on his maker and all who are loyal to him, and creates Soxāeco to assist him in ruining Almea as much as possible. They create the race of Ogres after learning that Iáinos created the Giants, and have them wipe both species out in a war. Amnās creates the race of ktuvoks as soon as he finds out that Iáinos’s second species, the iliū, are even greater than the Giants. Amnās hard-codes the ktuvoks to keep slaves by nature, as well as to kill and eat iliu children. He then tells the ktuvoks to destroy the iliū, which plunges Almea into thousands of years of war. When the elcari are made, Amnās steals their children and brainwashes them into worshipping him and waging war on their own parents. Amnās whispers temptations into the ear of the human king Līxigōcas, so that he declares war on the iliū, making the entire human race fall into sin permanently. Then Amnās makes a superweapon which he uses to wipe one of the repentant human kingdoms off the map, changing it from fertile land into a desert. He then gets into a Duel to the Death with the king of the iliū and kills him.

Here's my write-up for Gross (moving to the drafts page soon):
- Something More (Adventure Time): Dr. Cassandra Gross is even worse than in canon. Engineering a deadly virus to wipe out the leaders of Hub Island and half the populace she used the accidental unleashing of it to further hers and Minerva's control over the humans, feeling proud of the death toll it caused. Years later, in order to find a good excuse to leave the islands and have humanity take back control of Earth, she manipulates the Hiders into indirectly getting Finn lost at sea and ending in Ooo so she could scout out the land in the guise of a rescue mission by manipulating Minerva. She sends out Seeker Kara first and installs a program to override her free will in case she backs out of the mission. When that fails, she opts to take matters into her own hands and goes to Ooo herself to wipe out all of its inhabitants, kidnapping many to use as guinea pigs and threatening Princess Bubblegum with eradicating her kingdom unless she joins her side. When Finn and his allies confront her she remorselessly tries to kill him alongside his newfound friends when he refuses to aid in her goal of wiping out the "mutant freaks" of Ooo.

As the question was asked and hollered - this is what Creating A Work Page For An Unreleased Work says about releases:
What counts as a release?
- TV Tropes is an international site and we don't use any particular market as a benchmark for releases. If it's available in Liechtenstein but not yet on sale in the rest of the world, that's still a release.
As CM needs an element of community consensus and verification, you might want to apply extra rules to that (e.g. I know Stranger Things: The First Shadow caused issues when no play text was published and it was only running in London).
However, the consensus when those release rules were written was that troping (and, implicitly, spoiler tagging policy) shouldn't be dependent on a particular country/market (e.g. the USA).
Berserk Button: misusing Berserk Button
Well, if we let anyone propose from a work before the English release if one is planned, that is basically spoiling the work for those who do not speak the language of the country of origin. Also, the work in question was apparently already reserved by another user.
One of these days, all of you will accept me as your supreme overlord.
he/him
From the same page:
- This is an English-language wiki, but it covers works in many languages. We don't have to wait for an official (or fan) translation if a work isn't initially released in English — it still counts as a release.
Again, CM may wish to add some extra restrictions to ensure verifiability and consensus, but that's the agreed policy.
To some degree, spoilers will always be a hazard, regardless of language and market. We do not have a different spoiler policy for untranslated works.

For Room 1408, I had this tally, and since then, an upvote has been given from Mimic45, and a downvote has been given by Ghal-Sur.
So here's my writeup:
- 1408: Room 1408 of the Dolphin Hotel is a sapient, mind-warping location. Tormenting anyone within it, the room has claimed 56 victims—whether they were driven to suicide or killed by it directly—the images and corpses of which it uses to torment and attack future victims. When Michael Enslin enters Room 1408 to write about it, the room locks him in and subjects him to rounds of psychological torture in between attempts on his life. To break him, the room shows him visions of his deceased daughter Katie, only to "kill" her again in his arms, lets him call his wife for help before hijacking his video chat and winking at him afterward, and making him believe he was free, only to reveal he was still trapped. Mockingly giving Michael "free will," Room 1408 gives him the choice to either kill himself or suffer within forever, taunting him that he will never escape. Though enigmatic in nature, the rare direct communication from the room paints it as a sadist enjoying its power.
Too long or not? I don't make writeups very often.

Nah, that's not the issue, Zeller targets indiscriminately. There's a sidequest in Bunker Hill to rescue some caravan workers he kidnapped (and implicitly was planning to indoctrinate). He's just too smallscale compared to the Blood Eagles who operate similarly.
There remains a foothold out of this mire — now climb.

I think a good solution is having the two week rule be after the initial release as in wherever it is. Japan, China, etc.
Of course well need to check when say a film is first coming out.

The work
Parkour Civilization is a Minecraft fan series on YouTube, created by Evbo. The setting is an entire civilization in the world of Minecraft in which parkour makes up literally every aspect of daily life. Need to pay for something? Jump for it. Broke the rules? Jump as punishment. Literally need to go anywhere? Jump the entire way. Picking a fight with someone? Settle it in a parkour battle. The premise might sound silly, but the important part is in the execution, and the entire thing is masterfully done with not nearly as much comedy as you'd think.
Season 1 begins with Evbo, a Noob at the bottom layer of Parkour Civilization, and we quickly see just what Noob life is like. Every morning, Noobs are visited by a parkour Pro who offers them a chance to earn either a piece raw chicken or raw beef, depending on the difficulty of the jump they do. Raw chicken is just barely enough to feed the citizens until the next day, and raw beef is considered a luxury at the Noob level. We also see that the entire civilization is floating above a massice abyss, and all citizens, regardless of rank, have to jump everywhere just to get around, lest they fall. Even just getting to one's own bed inside their house requires jumping over the abyss. Noobs are occasionally given the opportunity to compete for a ticket that will allow them to attempt to climb the Parkour Temple and the ranks of the Pros. However, no Noob has ever succeeded. When Evbo wins his ticket and tries climbing the temple, he falls into the abyss, where he learns that instead of dying, falling into the abyss gets you sent to Parkour Prison, the real bottom layer of civilization.
Life in Parkour Prison is absolute hell, as prisoners are kept in a cage above a lake of lava, and it's made crystal clear that falling into lava really does kill you, unlike the abyss. Prisoners have to constantly make parkour jumps over the lava, at least once every thirty seconds, or else they'll be executed. It's also revealed that this is where the city test-runs new parkour courses, by forcing a random prisoner each day to run said courses over the lava. Evbo is eventually told he has two options, he can either stay in Parkour Prison for fifty years, or he can return to the Noob level now, but forever be banned from competing for another ticket, meaning he can never rank up. He goes with the latter.
Just when Evbo is ready to accept life as a Noob forever, he meets a mysterious old man who helps him out by giving him another ticket and a barrier block. When Evvo climbs the temple again, he realizes that whoever designed the course left an impossible jump, which is why no Noob has ever ascended. The only reason Evbo is able to make it is thanks to the barrier the Old Man gave him. Now a Pro, Evbo learns that he still isn't at the top level of Parkour Civilization; above the Pros are the Parkour Masters, and above them is the Parkour Champion. The Parkour Champion is the one who makes the rules, meaning the horrible conditions Noobs live in are his doing.
While life as a Pro might be a step up from the Noobs, it's far from ideal. Pros are expected to perform daily tasks, which they're rewarded for by being allowed to train without risk of falling for fiteen minutes. They're also feed cooked steak rather than raw meat. Speaking of, one of the daily tasks involves watching over the livestock, where even the animals are expected to jump everywhere, with the ones who make it becoming food for the Pros, while the ones who fall become food for the Noobs, so we can count animal cruelty, there. Also, the jumps just to get around the place are even harder than they were on the Noob level.
One day, when Evbo shirks his task, he's confronted by a Master, who challenges him to a Parkour Battle as punishment. In a Parkour Battle, opponents take turns making jumps that the other then has to copy. Whenever someone fails to make the same jump as their opponent, they take damage. Evbo manages to win, and the Master gives him a tip, revealing that, just like before, the course to ascend from Pro to Master has an impossible jump in order to keep Pros where they are. Evbo learns that the jump has invisible barriers underneath it that one would normally never find. As he continues climbing the temple, he gets attacked by an assassin, sent by someone who's been keeping an eye on him ever since the ranked up the first time. Evbo manages to beat the assassin and continues his way up, reaching the Parkour City and becoming a Master.
Besides being the most dangerous layer with the largest gaps, life in Parkour City is considered a paradise, so not much to cover in terms of how bad the place is like with the other layers. Evbo eventually meets the Master who he battled earlier, and Master says he believes Evbo has what it takes to save Parkour Civilization from the Champion's rule.
Evbo infiltrates a secret building, where he discovers that newcomers to Parkour Civilization are implanted with false memories to make them believe that parkour is the answer to everything, after which they're assigned a rank depending on how good of a jump they make. Evbo gets caught by SeaWatt, the Parkour Champion's right-hand man, who proceeds to knock Evbo out with a potion and sends him to confront the Champion.
The character
The Parkour Champion is the leader of Parkour Civilization, and he's the one responsible for the unforgiving rules. The Old Man was the previous Champion before him, and episode 1 of season 2 shows that the rules were much more forgiving then, but when the Old Man introduced barrier blocks to the world, the future Champion horded them to himself, challenged the Old Man to a Parkour Battle, and used the barriers to make a series of invisible jumps the Old Man couldn't possibly repeat, defeating him and claiming his title.
As the new Champion and ruler of Parkour Civilization, he wanted to ensure that no one could ever rise in the ranks and potentially challenge him, and so he heavily alterred the rules of the world to suit his needs. Before, falling into the void just sent you back to the temple, but the Champion introduced the idea of the Parkour Prison. He also heavily restricted the Noobs' food supply so they wouldn't have enough energy to run, which is why the course to become a Pro was impossible. He also implemented the ticket system just to the Noobs a false sense of hope that they could rank up. He then introduced the concept of daily tasks to the Pros and Masters, restricting their freedom and also setting up the system where Pros supervise Noobs while Masters supervise Pros. He was also responsible for sabotaging the course required to ascend from Pro to Master, again hoping to prevent anyone from rising up to challenge him. Finally, he was the one who noticed Evbo was rising in the ranks and sent an assassin after him when he was attemping course to become a Master.
When Evbo finally confronts the Parkour Champion, the Champion first forces Evbo to confront three opponents in Parkour Battle before facing evbo himself, just to make Evbo waste his resources. When he finally battles Evbo personally, he's shown to be very arrogant and sadistic. It doesn't take long before he resorts to cheating, using a barrier block to make a jump look more difficult than it actually is, causing Evbo to lose and sending him back to the Noob layer.
Evbo then learns that the Champion changed the rules again so that Pros no longer come down to the Noob layer, and since the Pros were the ones responsible for bringing food down, this means that he essentially condemned all Noobs to starve. Evbo gets some assistance from the Parkour God and begins climbing back up, and finds out that the Pros were also cut off, as now the Masters don't come down anymore and they no longer receice daily tasks, which were their only means of getting food. So that's two whole layers that have been left to rot, all because the Champion wanted to make sure once and for all that nobody could challenge him. Evbo eventually makes it back up the Master layer, confronts SeaWatt, and forces him to send him back to face the Champion in another Parkour Battle.
The Champion begins cheating with his barriers again, but Evbo counters by setting up an even harder course. This goes back and forth for a while, each of them coming up with stronger and more difficult attacks, and the Champion becoming more and more nervous each time. Finally, the Champion decides he's had enough, and he sets up a jump designed to kill both of them, saying, "Either you go down, or we both go down." Evbo barely manages to make the jump, and the Parkour Champion falls to his death, and so Evbo becomes the new Champion and ruler of Parkour Civilization.
Does he stack up?
Right now, the Parkour Champion's biggest contender is the season 2 antagonist, but as season 2 is still ongoing, I'm going to say the Champion sets the standard as of the time of this post.
Any mitigating concerns?
While the Parkour Champion himself has very little screentime, the entire state of Parkour Civilization throughout season 1 is the result of the rules he set in place when he earned his position from defeating the Old Man. Besides this, he shows no concern for his subjects, and any argument of honor goes out the window he's shown to be a blatant cheater in parkour battles, not to mention his numerous attempts to sabotage Evbo's journey to rank up, culminating in trying to pull a Taking You with Me on Evbo once he realizes he can't win.
Also, while the series does have plenty of comedid moments, including the very idea that literally everything revolves around parkour, the Champion himself is played very seriously, and the series takes the time to show just how much the rest of Parkour Civilization has deteriorated under his rule, especially towards the end of season 1 when he condemns both the Noobs and the Pros to starve just to keep them, (mainly Evbo) from challenging him.
Final thoughts?
The Parkour Champion is a coward, a cheat, and a tyrant who only earned his position in the first place by abusing the Old Man's kindness, and won't hesitate to condemn two thirds of the population to death if it means he can stay in power over the remaining third. Yes from me. Can't wait for season 2 to wrap up!
