Subpages cleanup: Complete Monster

Go To

During the investigation of recent hollers in the Complete Monster thread, it's become apparent to the staff that an insular, unfriendly culture has evolved in the Complete Monster and Magnificent Bastard threads that is causing problems.

Specific issues include:

  • Overzealous hollers on tropers who come into the threads without being familiar with all the rules and traditions of the tropes. And when they are familiar with said rules and traditions, they get accused (with little evidence) of being ban evaders.
  • A few tropers in the thread habitually engage in snotty, impolite mini-modding. There are also regular complaints about excessive, offtopic "socializing" posts.
  • Many many thread regulars barely post/edit anywhere else, making the threads look like they are divorced from the rest of TV Tropes.
  • Following that, there are often complaints about the threads and their regulars violating wiki rules, such as on indexing, crosswicking, example context and example categorization. Some folks are working on resolving the issues, but...
  • Often moderator action against thread regulars leads to a lot of participants suddenly showing up in the moderation threads to protest and speak on their behalf, like a clique.

It is not a super high level problem, but it has been going on for years and we cannot ignore it any longer. There will be a thread in Wiki Talk to discuss the problem; in the meantime there is a moratorium on further Complete Monster and Magnificent Bastard example discussion until we have gotten this sorted out.

Update: The new threads have been made and can be found here:

We don't care what other sites think about a character being a Complete Monster. We judge this trope by our own criteria. Repeatedly attempting to bring up other sites will earn a suspension.

What is the Work

Here you briefly describe the work in question and explain any important setting details. Don't assume that everyone is familiar with the work in question.

Who is the Candidate and What have they Done?

This will be the main portion of the Effort Post. Here you list all of the crimes committed by the candidate. For candidates with longer rap sheets, keep the list to their most important and heinous crimes, we don't need to hear about every time they decide to do something minor or petty.

Do they have any Mitigating Factors or Freudian Excuse?

Here you discuss any potential redeeming or sympathetic features the character has, the character's Freudian Excuse if they have one, as well as any other potential mitigating factors like Offscreen Villainy or questions of moral agency. Try to present these as objectively as possible by presenting any evidence that may support or refute the mitigating factors.

Do they meet the Heinousness Standard?

Here you compare the actions of the Candidate to other character actions in the story in order to determine if they stand out or not. Remember that all characters, not just other villains, contribute to the Heinousness Standard

Final Verdict?

Simply state whether or not you think the character counts or not.

You know speaking of cuts I think we may have to consider cut Rekka Hoshimiya from Fire Force.

When I first EP Rekka he seemed uniquely heinous enough at the time with burning and experimenting on children. The problem with that however so has Sister Simure whom Erazor EP who like Rekka experimented and burned children (turning them into infernals) and has been doing it longer than Rekka accumulating in an even higher body (Erazor even said that what Simure's crimes is what Rekka did up to eleven). Not only that but Simure also raised Rekka into becoming an Ax-Crazy Knight Templar carrying out Simure's experiments on children making her responsible for everything Rekka did.

Probably the only thing that would keep Rekka would be the level of resources between Rekka and Simure (Simure is one of the Evangelist's Co-Dragons whose 250 while Rekka is a ranked much lower in the organization) and if it is decided that Rekka can stay for not having the same level of resources as Simure that's great, but due to Simure having committed similar atrocities to Rekka but doing it much longer and having a higher body count, while having raised Rekka to serve the Evangelist and kill more children for her, basically being responsible for how Rekka became, I don't know if Rekka is unique for this any more since to Simure seems to out heinous Rekka in this while the Captain are still different enough to stand out in heinousness (the Captain brainwashes children to become assassins and raped Joker as a kid while having lesser resources that either Simure and Rekka due to not being part of White-Clad).

I hope this doesn’t seem a waste but with Kavaxas being cut due to his atrocities no longer considered to be unique anymore, I just thought to bring Rekka up for re-evaluation so we’d be sure Rekka is still heinous enough to stay or needs to be cut for not being unique anymore

Now onto Mr. Monday, let's see if he counts. Afterwards, I got a villain from a spin-off to do next.

Who Is Mr. Monday?

Real name, Professor Erwin Montag according to the Protector's handbook.

A terrorist and Starter Villain who looks like a lovechild of Skeletor, Doctor Doom, and Darth Vader. He acts as the leader of the Steel Army while Question sits by in the shadows orchestrating it all from behind the scenes. He opens his Establishing Character Moment has him and his troops attacking a police station, causing a massacre that claim the lives of 15 officers all to send a message: The news stating that this wasn't his first terrorist attack. Declaring his intent to burn Washington DC to the ground, Monday leads his army to numerous terrorist attacks across the US while turning the streets into warzones claiming the lives of civilians and cops alike.

In one battle, his troops kills two police officers while in another one of his goons tried to destroy the Washington Monument to crush squad of policemen. Monday later attempts to kill the founder of the Protectors, Philip Reinhart, crippling him for most of the story. Under orders of the Great Question, he lures the non-superpowered protector Night Mask, who is Philip's son taking on the mantel, so he could kill him in order to show who wields the true power over this war.

Monday takes sadistic time and pleasure torturing the hero with his lasers, broadcasting the whole torment on live television for everyone to see. Then brutally murders Night Mask and use his blood to write "Monday Rules" to taunt the Protectors. Now, Monday just to further cement himself as a dick attacks the Protectors at Night Mask's funeral to slaughter them all. However he spots what he thought to be the President and decided to go and kill him, but it was nothing but a trap to lure in Monday and that's when he gets defeated, lost his robotic limbs and gets arrested.

Now, Doctor Skeletor returns in the last three issues, where his troops break him out of prison killing multiple soldiers along the way to continue his plan to raze the city to the ground. But first, he tries to get his revenge on the Protectors for his past defeat. Brutally killing Air Man by blasting a hole in his chest causing the hero an agonizing death, and murders Arc next all while gloating all the way while the Question is opening portals destroying the world for godhood. That is, until he finally met his end when Amazing Man finally broke control of the Question's powers, he decided to kill Monday by throwing him off a cliff to his death ending him once and for all.

Mitigating Factors

On the handbook for the Protectors series, it's revealed he used to be a scientist in a research facility near the Arctic Circle to work on a nuclear fusion reactor as assigned by a US agent. An explosion happened killing all the staffs except for himself, due to the Great Question being the one who gave him his cybernetic enhancements.

Now this would sound bad... if it was ever brought up at all in the main series, even if it were it doesn't excuse his actions at all nor give him any sympathy. Closest he gets to one is when Mighty Man, another member of the Protectors, showed pity learning he's just a cyborg. But after he returns? None, he gets no sympathy by the main heroes at all beyond hatred and disgust. He's is nothing but a sadistic, murderous psycho terrorist. Nothing implies or shown he's genuinely loyal to the Great Question.

Heinous Standards

Great Question might be the true mastermind who orders Monday and his terrorist group to destroy Washington, but Monday adds his own flourish to the Question's orders and does individual crimes of his own. The massacre at the police station? Monday. The death of civilians and other cops? Monday. The torture of Night Mask? Also Monday. He's a Hero Killer and Cop Killer, he killed three members of the Protectors (the aforementioned Night Mask), he causes mass death and destruction across the US just to destroy a city, while Question is behind all this and orchestrated it, Monday takes equal blame of it as well and being one of the reasons the Protectors are formed.

Now yes, the heinous standards is high with this one (I got a demon who wiped a civilization and tries to start a zombie apocalypse to propose next) but not ridiculously high like the MCU or Stardust, I think Monday makes it. He has one of the highest body-count especially for a Starter Villain, every other villains (except the ones I've done or have in mind to propose) either have a commit standard murder or don't have one as big as his, since most are pretty standard except a few. That and his attempt body count, I mean he wants to kill millions within a city if that's enough for yah. Extreme being an extremely powerful interdimensional warlord so it wouldn't be a fair comparison, so I don't think that's an issue either.

Final Verdict

I'll leave up to you. I'm leaning on a yes.

Waiting for hours to publish this since the thread was getting a bit too much effortposts.

[tup] to Moxica, Burton, Monday and Extreme.

This is my first CM EP. I've looked back at the thread to see other EPs, so I have some idea of how this works. Here is my proposal:

What is the work?

Metal Fight Beyblade is a Merchandise-Driven anime about Beyblades. It features a boy named Gingka Hagane, who drifts the world in hopes of becoming the number one beyblader in the world.

Who is Doji? What has he done?

Doji is the leader of the Dark Nebula, an evil organisation whose goal is to unleash the dark power of the forbidden bey, Lightning L-Drago, over the world. This is later revealed to be a means to an end, as their master plan is to use that to revive the God of Destruction, Nemesis.

Chronologically, his first action is to invade Koma Village with Ryuga to steal the forbidden bey, allowing Ryuga to get corrupted by its power so he can effectively use him as his attack dog. While Ryuga is the one wielding the bey, Doji is clearly calling the shots here, and the event leads to the seeming-death of Gingka's father, which he seems to write off for the most part.

In the series, he first appears trying to get Kyoya into working for him, forcing him to do it when manipulation fails. He puts him through Training from Hell, dropping him into a life-threatening canyon with tumultuous winds and hungry wolves, and tasking him with climbing to the top and surviving. While Kyoya did survive, he also Took a Level in Jerkass, becoming more feral and merciless until Gingka snaps him out of it.

Doji then attacks Kyoya, injuring him and his bey, and then invites the heroes to challenge him at the Dark Nebula Castle, from which he studies Gingka's data. When they reach him, he tries to convince Gingka to join, trying to tempt him with promises of power. He refuses, and the two of them battle, with the ensuing fight awakening Ryuga, who fights and defeats Gingka. The two villains leave, planning to get ready to enter Ryuga into the Battle Bladers tournament, so they can use the other competitors as food to fuel L-Drago's powers by stealing their souls.

Though Ryuga being here to serve as The Heavy makes Doji appear less often, he doesn't get any less evil. He helps ensure Battle Bladers is full of the strongest bladers so that L-Drago can get more power, and reveals that when Ryuga wins the tournament, they will unleash a darkness over the world to control everything. He keeps feeding bladers to L-Drago, manipulating bladers into joining the Dark Nebula and thinking nothing of double-crossing them when they fail him. Eventually, Ryuga pulls this on him, killing him by taking his soul, thus ending his tale...

...Until Metal Fury, anyway. After Gingka defeated Ryuga at the end of Fusion, everyone who had their souls taken by L-Drago was revived, and Doji was no exception. After being Put on a Bus throughout Masters, he returns late into the third season with a new appearance, but besides that, he hasn't changed at all. He brings together the Nemesis Bladers, and provokes Ryuga into fighting Rago, the avatar of Nemesis. Throughout the fight, he sadistically mocks Ryuga, taunting him for being a pawn in Hades' grand plan, as well as for being weaker than Nemesis. The fight ends with Ryuga dying, but not before he manages to kill Doji again - but even then, he gets to Die Laughing, proclaiming the impact of forbidden beys clashing to be the best feeling in the world.

Any Mitigating Factors?

I can think of two potential ones, but I don't actually see them as mitigating. The first is, well, he's pretty funny, with moments such as his "eating a pepperoni pizza with a knife and fork" as well as his hatred of cacti. But not only is he taken completely seriously in-universe, but these moments are more him showcasing his eccentricities than having any real humour at his expense, so they don't detract from his villainy.

The second is his relationship with Yu, which is listed under Villainous Friendship on his character folder. Considering he was quick to abandon Yu and sic Ryuga on him because he started seeing Beyblading as fun (seeing this as a 'betrayal' because Gingka indirectly influenced him in this vein), I have a hard time viewing this as genuine on Doji's part. Considering Yu is a kid, Doji's leniency with him is much easier to read as an attempt to keep him on his side because he was a very strong blader - this is still Metal Fusion, so his Badass Decay hasn't happened yet.

Heinous Standards?

He sets the Metal Saga's heinous standards. Ryuga was being used by Doji and eventually gets a redemption, and the other villainous characters don't get as much screentime, and thus don't have the chance to do as bad as him. One character who might meet the heinous standards is his financial backer, Dr. Ziggurat, who I may be EPing later.

Final Verdict?

I think he's a pretty good candidate for a kids' show.

Here's a streamlined Cromwell:

  • The Sword and the Sorcerer: King Titus Cromwell begins by attempting to conquer a rival king's lands. He achieves this by reviving an ancient sorcerer named Xusia. Cromwell kills his rival King Richard, and betrays Xusia and leaves him for dead before killing Richard's wife as well, but misses Richard's son Prince Talon. As King, Cromwell has enemies subjected to torture and constantly tries to expand his domain with destruction and death. When Prince Mikah of the resistance is captured, Cromwell sends him to the torture chambers and desiring Mikah's sister Alana, he tries to force her into bed by threatening her brother's life. He later invites the heads of other lands to a banquet, planning to murder them and steal their lands. The entertainment there is Talon, whom Cromwell has had crucified with six-inch nails.

Yes to Extreme, Monday (you're not kidding about that Skeletor and Doctor Doom thing [lol]), Doji.

Rekka seems like a cut.

I looked at the YMMV page of The Savior King, the Master Tactician and the Queen of Liberation and found this CM entry:

  • Complete Monster: Thales is the tyrannical leader of Agartha and the architect behind The Heavy Edelgard's attempted conquest of Fodlan. Before the story began, he had the Ordelia's children kidnapped and subjected to torturous experiments under Myson as a test run to perfect the Dual Crest implants which only Lysithea survived. Thales then took the form of Edelgard's uncle Arundel to insert himself into the Insurrection of the Seven, taking the Hresvelg children to create a 'dragon killer' to use against the surviving Nabateans; not just kickstarting Edelgard's Startof Darkness, but leaving her younger sibling Justine a mute cripple hidden away with a handler. Regarding the people of Fodlan with deep disdain, Thales has massive numbers of them taken and converted into Demonic Beasts with the reluctant assistance of the Flame Emperor and Lord Herving, sends Odesse to trigger The Tragedy of Duscur in an effort to kill King Lambert and Dimitri, and has the troubled Emile von Bartels tortured via sleep deprivation and implicitly dugs to invoke the Death Knight persona. Later on, Atra reveals that Thales and his fellow chancellors run Agartha as a tyrannical cult, using Child Soldiers such as Atra, Kronya and Marian, brainwashing the civilians with propaganda and having any who disagree with their mandate disappeared. When the army of Faerghus and Leicester reach Enbarr, Thales has Edelgard subdued and imprisoned, but not before he reveals the corpses of her siblings and has them transformed into White Dragons as a diversion for him and his men to escape the palace unnoticed. When Shambhala is finally invaded, Thales has Edelgard forcibly converted into the Hedgemon Husk sending her to die; he also uses a Geas to force the long-repentant Ten Elites into service over their hatred of him and desire to finally die. Ren reveals during the fight that Thales, if pushed into a corner, will Suicidal Cosmic Temper Tantrum activate all the Javelins of Light and inflict a second Cataclysm on Fodlan rather than accept defeat. Cruel, pitiless and soaked in blood, Thales will cross as many lines as he deems necessary to achieve his goal of Agarthan Supremecy.

[tup] to Doji.

Next candidate, a villain from one of the tie-in spin offs. Gravestone is an undead superhero and member of the Protectors, Malibu's equivalent of Fantom of the Fair from the Golden Ages. He crosses between the afterlife (almost identical to the Greek Underworld) ruled by a being known as Shakra, and the living. Let's settle on with the two shot villain.

Who or what is The Night-Plague?

The Night-Plague is an Ancient Evil entity, a vampiric life-sucking creature who feeds on summoned by a renegade sorcerer ages ago on Atlantis. The entity is responsible for killing everyone in the continent, causing the destruction of Atlantis. Zardi/Eternal Man witness its destruction and use a spell to erase the continent completely, because if the entity is left loose it'll spell doomsday for the whole world.

In the present, the entity took possession of the body of a once deceased teenage girll, a dead victim of the Brinkston incident who followed Gravestone to the living world despite it being against protocols for the undead. The Entity uses her body as a host, and went on to slaughter almost all of her family except her father due to daylight coming. Due to its actions, it caused the father, who is a reverend, to kill multiple people in his path to end the creature but to no avail.

Later on, it reawakens again from its slumber to finish the girl's father by feeding on his flood, draining him dry and resurrect an army of the dead for it to devour everything in its path. Attempting to kill Gravestone slowly, Night-Plague's army starts attacking a nearby father and his children with the intent to kill while becoming stronger and growing father. Having its army to descend upon a nearby town. The entity soon gets defeated, its army vanquished thanks to Gravestone causing a widespread explosion with electricity to defeat it.

Mitigating Factor

Nope, nada. Clearly a sadistic who enjoys taunting its victims and preys, feasting on its victim with clear sadism. Nothing implies It has agency issue, besides a mention it only wants food but it takes waaaaayyy too much pleasure on killing its prey.

Heinous Standards

It only appears in the first three issues, but it has the deeds in my opinion. It wiped out an entire civilization (which we seen onscreen via a flashback), possess a young girl as a host and slaughtered her whole family (including the children) which drove the father insane to the point he became a homicidal nutcase, and it was stated if it's left unchecked it could spell the end of the world. All this for a minor antagonist who only appears in 3 issues from a spin-off. I say it's bad enough alone, even with our other villains.

Shakra is bad, having killed off the Ex-Mutants team (albeit temporarily until they broke out of the Underworld) and tried to Take Over the World with an army of the dead while possessing one of the Ex-Mutants' member's body, but she's pretty much a goddess who rules the underworld. The Night-Plague outdues her too in bodycount and sadistic cruelty (plus I argue Shakra fails the Heinous Standards). Then we have the one-shot villain Jug, the vampire clown who has been devouring peasants and noblemen and innocent people over the ages (this includes children), whom I'm debating whether he keeps or not but he's no competition to the Night Plague.

Verdict?

I'll leave that up to you. But I think it's a yes for this thing.

Julian delights in tormenting and toying with his victims and keeps his human servant, Sour Billy Tipton, loyal with promises to make him a vampire—a joke for Julian's amusement as vampires must be born instead of turned. Julian has Sour Billy, who has been nothing but effective in keeping Julian alive and concealed, drink human blood and eat human flesh with false promises. When he learns another vampire named Joshua has created a serum to save vampires from the thirst, Julian steals control of the vampires from him and crushes a baby's skull in front of Joshua just to prove a point about how he can do anything he wants.
    • Sour Billy Tipton himself is a vicious slaver who swears allegiance to Damon Julian under the illusion Julian will make him a vampire. Sour Billy was long a brutal racist who abused slaves under his watch, going so far as to spite a man who disapproved of his cruelty by beating and raping a slave atop the man's grave. Upon becoming Julian's servant, Sour Billy regularly buys, kidnaps, or lures innocents to the waiting maws of Julian and his vampiric associates, bleeding and handing the victims off to be torn apart by his master. Sour Billy becomes the operator of the Fevre Dream when Julian takes command of it, and uses his authority to burn alive several of the staff; enslave and torture the black people on the boat; and become a cannibal who devours the meat and blood of several people in his quest for immortality. The ultimate enabler of Julian's evil who helped his master kill hundreds of people for his own selfish gain, Sour Billy attempts to murder Julian in the end for his inability to make Sour Billy into the vampire god he's always wanted to be.

  • Xanafix:
    • Troman Deckard is the conscienceless CEO of Deckard Industries and the creator of the titular drug, which he touts as a miracle cure to stress and anxiety. Already unscrupulous, Troman comes to realize that one of his employees has sabotaged Xanafix to make it start mutating those who consume it into grotesque abominations. Troman is horrified by this development for all of a moment before gleefully deciding to profit off the creatures, first subjecting his own little son to Xanafix before preparing to desolate an entire town with the creatures.

With his most treasured memory being the time he murdered a pregnant civilian during The Vietnam War, Carson kidnaps teenager Conner Turner and his friends in order to bring them to Troman to die.

  • Primal (2019):
    • "Rage of the Ape-Men": The Shaman is the religious leader of the Ape-Men and responsible for the savage and brutal nature of their primitive society. The Shaman has sole control over a mysterious black goo that gives its consumer monstrous strength, and he forces the strongest members of their society to fight to the death for a mere drop. When Fang and Spear are captured by the Ape-Men, the Shaman plans to use them as prizes for the champion to take sadistic pleasure in tearing apart in a completely one-sided battle, among the countless such victims given the vast array of bones in their arena.
    • "The Night Feeder": The titular Night Feeder is a vicious, sapient predator of a dinosaur that kills solely for sport and pleasure. Slaughtering one hapless creature and leaving the remains in a manner that panics even the hardened T. rex Fang, the Night Feeder centers in a large herd of herbivores and butchers all of them, simply for the thrill of killing frightened beings. Centering in on Fang and Spear, the Night-Feeder attempts to hunt them down, savoring their terror all the while.
    • "The Primal Theory": "The Mad-Man" is a giggling cannibal murderer who barges into an English manor after escaping his asylum. The Mad-Man goes about killing everyone in the manor, often eating parts of them while they're still alive, killing all but two of the gentlemen in the Historical Society and their cook to boot. When he's trying to finish the two of them off, the Mad-Man elects against drowning one of them to instead start eating the other alive as he finds it crueler, evincing clear sadistic intelligence behind his seemingly primitive savagery.
    • "The Colossaeus" three-part arc: Queen Ima is an utterly ruthless, sadistic woman who uses her warship to sail the world looking for lands and peoples to pillage. Ima enslaved Kamau's people years ago, taking Kamau's daughter Amal as a hostage to turn him into her personal killing machine and forcing him to slaughter countless thousands of people against his pacifistic nature. Even when a peaceful island offers their goods and servitude to Ima, she coldly forces Kamau to massacre the population anyway. Upon confronting Spear, Fang, and Mira, Ima takes Fang's eggs as hostage to Spear and Fang into more warriors of hers, and forces Mira to become a sexual dancer for Ima's pleasure, killing a man in front of her just to prove a point. When Kamau and Spear lead a revolt against her, Ima spitefully tries to kill Amal and Fang's babies to punish them all.

I cut the unapproved entry and sent a message to the user who added it. I suppose Thales sounds bad enough that he might be worth a proposal, but we can't have unapproved entries being posted.

Check out my current fanfiction project.
