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:

[tup] To previous candidates. Guess i have time for one more candidate. Sorry if my EP ends up quite messy, i'm doing this via cellphone.

What is the setting? Dupla Identidade (Double Identity) is a short Brazilian TV show following the adventures of Villain Protagonist Edu, aka Patrick Bateman 2.0. I once got in contact with the woman who created/wrote this show, so you can say this EP has the help of Word of God.

Who is Edu? Edu, originally Brian, is a Serial Killer obsessed with the nihilistic philosophy that if he kills a person, it doesn't matter, because it would mean just one more human off the face of the earth. Born in the US, Brian claimed the lives of four women in Florida, mimicking the methods of real-life serial killers to "experiment" with his victims. Brian got the attention of the FBI, and escaped to Rio de Janeiro, changing his name to Eduardo "Edu" Borges, becoming an office worker and the right-hand man of a corrupt local politician to cover his tracks, loved by others for his good looks, charismatic attitude and his preference for, ironically, proposing more laws to protect women from dangerous men (like himself). In his first appearance, Edu approached a woman in the middle of the night, pretending to have a crippled leg, and then knocked her unconscious, bringing her to a forest nearby and smashing her head with a rock.

In almost every episode, Edu has at least one victim, ranging from luring female crime enthusiasts to the place of his murders just to kill them there, bringing an underaged girl to his house and sexually torturing her, hanging a colleague upside down and leaving her to be found by the police, and pushing a man from a building. These crimes culminated in a killing spree that ended the lives of three women in a single night: He broke into the house of one, killed her cat in front of her and smashed her head against a table, strangling her to death, strangled another with a cable, and abducted the third one, bringing her to the same forest, forcing her to play a "live or die" game, which she lost, and had her head smashed with a rock. Having a fetish for his own death, Edu was happy for his arrest, looking forward to be brought to the US again and be executed for his crimes.

Mitigating Factors Absolutely none, Edu kills for pleasure and for pleasure only, he is a high-functioning sociopath and definately the worst protagonist to ever be introduced in Brazilian media. The only thing good about him is his amazing theme song.

Conclusion? Brian/Edu is an easy yes

[tup] Edu.

Here's my writeup for Big Gold.

  • Big Gold is a powerful android who, along with Iczer-1, is one half of a machine created to grant wishes. Granting the wish of the Cthulhu race’s matriarch to save her dying race, Gold ends up turning her species into a fascist leadership with her as their ruler, forcing the matriarch to be her slave and renaming her Sir Violet. Desiring to conquer Earth and eradicate humanity, Gold sends parasitic aliens that mutate and control people from the inside, turning the world into an apocalyptic wasteland, with Nagisa’s parents becoming victims themselves. When Sir Violet’s plans to destroy Iczer-1 and Nagisa all end up failing, Gold kills her and decides to kill the duo herself. Destroying a human military spaceship, Gold laughs as she witnesses the destruction she's caused on earth, later attempting to kill Iczer-1 herself to continue her plan.

I should have another EP later on today.

Here’s another villain I encountered from my ongoing Amazon Prime adventure.

What Is the Work?

Die Fighting is a 2014 action film directed and written by martial artist stuntman Fabien Garcia. It primarily serves as a vehicle for him and his stuntmen friends.

Fabien Garcia (played by himself) and his posse of three other kung fu stuntmen (all played by stuntmen Laurent “Lohan” Buson, Didier Buson, and Jess Allen, as themselves) desire to become big named actors in Hollywood. Unbeknownst to them, they’re going to get their wish. One day, a mysterious, sadistic Filmmaker forces them all to become actors in his movie, one that he’s currently shooting and filming as they speak. The actors are tasked to run a gauntlet throughout LA, with the Filmmaker giving them directions on where to go. Should they call the police or not complete their next task on time, Fabien’s girlfriend will be murdered, along with Lohan’s wife. There are cameras everywhere filming their every move, and there’s no way they can escape; it’s like reality TV, but even worse. Along the way, the gang come across armed criminals, thugs, and other martial artists.

Just a warning, this EP is about to get very meta, and the story relies on a big twist ending. You have been warned.

Who Is he?

Fabien Garcia himself is revealed to be the one in charge of the Filmmaker, and the one behind everything that happened in the movie.

What has he done?

Wanting to make it big in Hollywood, Fabien decides to write and direct a movie, but not just any movie. This would be an incredibly ambitious one that would involve actual murder and real fights, titled The Price of Success. Inviting an actor in financial trouble and handing him the script to his new movie, the actor at first refuses to be a part of the movie, claiming the idea to be risky and one that will not only involve the death of Fabien’s stuntmen friends, but also land him and Fabien in prison. Fabien promises the man a fortune and immunity from the police, and the actor agrees, with Fabien assigning him the role of the Filmmaker, a masked man who is meant to give tasks to the stuntmen and act as the movie’s villain.

Kidnapping his own girlfriend after taking all the money from his bank account, Fabien stages for everything in the movie to happen, setting up loads of cameras everywhere and getting criminals in position, even promising some crooks a briefcase full of money (which of course is not full of money). The gauntlet results in the death of all of Fabien’s “friends” (he even wrote a scene where he has to kill his friend Lohan in a fight to the death in order to secure Lohan’s wife’s freedom), a few gangsters are killed despite not knowing that they will die or have to kill anyone, and some thugs are killed by Fabien after the Filmmaker forces him to kill them (keep in mind that Fabien wrote the Filmmaker’s lines, so he knew that he was going to kill them).

Once all of Fabien’s friends are dead, he heads to the Filmmaker’s location (Fabien’s own apartment), where he starts beating him up and ordering him to reveal his girlfriend’s location, despite the Filmmaker’s pleas that he’s only following his script (Fabien's only saying this for the hidden camera in the room). Fabien ends up killing the actor in cold blood. He takes a camera and walks downstairs to reveal his girlfriend and Lohan’s wife all tied up. He tells Lohan’s wife that Lohan’s dead, but that he will be forever remembered as an action star, even claiming to have given him what he always wanted. Wanting to make Lohan’s wife scream and act scared for the camera, he takes a crowbar and makes her think he’s about to hit her with it, smiling as he films her sobbing reaction.

After editing the movie, Fabien sits down and talks to the camera about his goals, hoping to be out of the country, or maybe even the guy sitting next to you in the theater. At the end, he concludes that what happened to his friends was all just the price of success. While smiling, he gets up and turns off the camera.

So yeah, he ends up getting away with everything. Yay.

Redeeming Qualities?

None. He claims at the end that he misses his friends and wanted to make them action stars, but then he says that they had to die because they didn’t want fame as bad as him, and that they were never going to succeed (he could have easily done better things to help them become famous). He never really cared for his friends, and only wanted to use them to make himself famous, putting his life above theirs.

As for his girlfriend, he doesn’t show any true affection for her, only using her as a prop in order to give his characters a goal.

Heinousness?

As the main villain, he’s easily the worst figure. None of the gangsters or thugs the characters come across reach Fabien’s level of heinousness, and are just standard goons who didn’t know that they were going to be in a movie.

Conclusion

I think he’s a keeper. In the end, Fabien is just a selfish sociopath who can’t understand why people would be mad at him for allowing his friends to die, and is an example of someone who will do whatever it takes to achieve success.

[tup] Fabien. @Kazuya here's the link for TFTSW if you are interested. Writeup for Clowny and Edu.

TalesFromTheSpidersWeb: Clowny is an utter monstrous Psycho for Hire tormenting David and his friends for fun. A cannibalistic Serial Killer, Clowny was revealed to have been the one behind the disappearance of Madison White. Initially appearing to be a simple hacker, Clowny proved himself to be much more than that by visiting David's underaged friend, Chance, and stabbing him to death, burning his parents alive in a house fire which he had started. Setting his eyes on Kyle, he did the same to his relative, savagely devouring his body afterwards. An animal in human skin, Clowny overshadows his compatriots in terms of sheer cruelty and brutality.

Dupla Identidade: Eduardo Borges, or simply Edu, is a Serial Killer fascinated by the idea that lives don't matter, allowing him to kill everyone he wants without having to feel remorse. Originally an US citizen named Brian, he committed a series of killings in Florida that claimed the lives of four women. Escaping to Rio de Janeiro, Brian adopted a new name and became the right-hand man of a corrupt politician to better cover his tracks. Now as Edu, he continued to murder other people both for pleasure and to prove his nihilistic philosophy. His crimes ranging from: Abducting a girl and sexually torturing her in his home, luring a crime enthusiast to the scene of one of his previous murders and killing her there, hanging a colleague upside down and leaving her body to be found by the police, and pushing a man from the top of a building. Edu's homicidal behavior culminated in a killing spree that ended the lives of three women in one single night: breaking a cat's neck in front of the owner, and strangling her to death alongside another woman, and forcing a third woman to play a game of "live or die", smashing her head with a rock when she loses.

  • Fairy Tail:
    • Acnologia, the Black Dragon of the Apocalypse, was once a hero who protected humans from dragons. Succumbing to bloodlust and a love of combat and destruction, Acnologia embraced his transformation into a black dragon, massacring the entire dragon race, even his own allies. Becoming a terrifying scourge on the world, Acnologia annihilates innocents for fun, stopped only from conquering the world by his own boredom. Upon his second appearance in the story, Acnologia brutally kills his old enemy, the Fire Dragon King Igneel in front of the latter's adopted son. When he decides to take center stage in Alvarez's invasion of Fiore, Acnologia targets the other Dragon Slayers to wipe them out and reveals his intention to simply annihilate everything that lives, while keeping the only immortal wizards as playthings to torture forever.
    • Phantom Lord arc: Master Jose Porla has a bad case of envy towards Fairy Tail for its sudden rise in power and wealth due to Lucy—which neither she nor the guild had intention of using. Thus drove him to use Gajeel to destroy the guild hall. Makarov, Fairy Tail's master, wasn't prepared to retaliate, until Jose later hung up Team Shadow Gear as an example after having them viciously beaten. This earns Makarov's wrath, and when the two encounter each other, Jose being an illusion, he shows no ill will and says some small talk to further enrage his rival, enough for his minion to drain him of all his magical power temporarily. He then proceeds toward the next stage of his plan—kidnapping Lucy and using her ransom to siphon away the Heartfilia family fortune, rather than returning her as her father had hoped. After Lucy angers him when he kidnaps her, Jose's first step is to have his guild robot destroy a town, and then he proceeds to defeat and torture Erza. He also attempts to use his magic cannon to annihilate Fairy Tail and their guild hall. This is all because Makarov said, while drunk at an annual guild meeting, that his guild was better.
    • Edolas arc: Faust, the King of Edolas, supposedly desires eternal magic for his kingdom, but in the end only wants it for himself. He conducted a plan called "Anima" to absorb all of Earth Land into Edolas as Lacrima for fuel, but his son Mystogan eliminated most of the portals save for one in Magnolia City. Consumed by greed, he eventually orders the genocide of all Exceeds and uses his army's desperation for Magic to rile them. During "Code ETD", he siphons the Dragon Slayers of their magic to create a chain to throw the giant Lacrima containing Magnolia City residents and facilitate in Extalia's destruction. When Mystogan thwarts it, Faust personally leads a final assault in the Dorm Anima, callously shooting down his son and promising to turn Natsu, Wendy, and Gajeel into living batteries to fund future Anima plan attempts. His burning of Coco's legs and disregard for Pantherlily's life in a crossfire ultimately out Faust as a power-hungry and avaricious king.
    • Tartaros arc: Jackal, one of Zeref's "Etherious" demons and a member of Tartaros's Nine Demon Gates, is a psychopath who gleefully assassinated the Magic Council in front of Doranbalt. He then goes on to force not one, but two sadistic choices on a former Magic Council member and Lucy, forcing them to choose between their own life and their granddaughter's life, and the life of the Magic Councilor and a pregnant woman respectively, and says that his only real motivation for doing so is that he see humans as playthings. He then later kills one of his own guildmates right in front of Lucy for the crime of annoying him. Out of all of the Etherious, he could very well be the one most deserving of being called a demon.
    • Dragon Cry: Zash Caine was once a wizard of Fiore who fled to Stella after a failed coup. He went into the service of King Animus and then proceeded to kill his own allies to prove himself. In the present day, Zash uses mind control to force the White Tiger squadron to kill each other in order to steal the Dragon Cry. Zash shows no hesitation in trying to kill the Fairy Tail wizards, and is even willing to mind control others to do so. It is revealed that Zash keeps female prisoners to draw blood from to power his own magic, and takes Lucy captive in an attempt to draw blood from her. Towards the end, Zash betrays Animus and takes the Dragon Cry for himself. He proceeds to force Animus to go on a rampage and unseals the Quartum Army to eliminate the Fairy Tail wizards. He then activates the Dragon Cry in an attempt to destroy all of Fiore out of revenge for his exile, only failing when the power proves too much and incinerates him.
  • Kurokami: The Animation: Lord Hiyou is a sadistic Tera Guardian, and a member of the Shishigami clan. During his time in the Pure Place, he kidnapped humans and experimented on them, giving them the powers of other Tera Guardians to make them his Tribal Ends, which resulted in the deaths of many Guardians. Searching for a Contractee, he finds Nanase Shinobu and convinces her to kill her Roots in order to gain power and happiness; one of whom was Keita Ibuki's mother. Working for Reishin, he kidnaps hundreds of Tera Guardians to painfully drain them of their Tera in order to make more Tribal Ends, leaving the Guardians as charred corpses. Attempting to find and destroy the Tera stones, he and Nanase slaughter an entire clan of Guardians protecting one. Having a sick obsession with Kuro, Hiyou forces his Tribal Ends to capture her and kill Keita. Following the two to Okinawa after killing his assistant, he orders Nanase to kill Keita while he kidnaps Kuro and tries to rape her, and once that fails, he tortures her by popping her blood vessels.
  • The Heaven Cycle fanfic Address: Ashton "Ash" Sharpe is just a monstrous as his canon counterpart. A sadistic member of Scott Niles's human trafficking ring, Ash is introduced upset at not being able to rape and murder a man's family, and gleefully picks a family of three when offered to by Scott. Raping the father, then threatening to castrate him if he doesn't choose whether Ash should rape his wife or son next, Ash callously murders him and the latter, leaving the mother to be raped by Scott's daughter after accepting her job of killing her ex-girlfriend and her old friends. Murdering their neighbor and his dog just so he could use his house as "reconnaissance", Ash panics when he follows them to his "body house". Planning on murdering all of them, Ash takes one them hostage. When Mint's ghost arrives, Ash mocks the latter before being overpowered and arrested. While interrogated, it is revealed he had stashed 30 bodies under the house.
  • Bullet in the Head: Paul is part of a trio of delinquent Blood Brothers who go to war-torn Vietnam to escape arrest. Witnessing the brutality of the war, Paul decides that those with the best guns control the world, immediately robbing and pistol whipping a store clerk upon getting his first gun. Over the course of the film, Paul is consumed by Gold Fever, gunning down anybody who stands in the way of him and his gold, including threatening his supposed friends. After the trio are captured by the Viet Cong, Paul immediately sells out the CIA agents he got the gold from before leaving his allies to be tortured to death in the prison camp. In his escape, Paul personally shoots Frankie in the head, permanently brain damaging him to the point of needing a Mercy Kill, and massacres a bunch of villagers to steal a boat. Years later, when Ben confronts Paul for revenge, he tries to force his nemesis to destroy Frankie's skull just to psychologically torment him.
  • Crazed (2014): Although no villains have any redeeming qualities, the following few are the worst Harbor City has to offer:
    • Damien Logan is the leader of Hector Luna 's sex trafficking operation, and Ronan Pierce 's Arch-Enemy. Once Ronan's special ops partner during a raid in South America, Logan proceeded to cause carnage for fun, even attempting to rape a young woman. After getting shot by Ronan, Logan survives and plots his revenge. Kidnapping Ronan's wife and having the below-mentioned Lukas Lodder rape and kill his daughter, Damien sends DVDs to Ronan bragging about her suffering, with some containing footage of her being tortured, which goes on for seven years. Planning to take Harbor City as his own, Logan tries to kill Ronan when he arrives to save his wife.
    • Lukas Lodder, the half-brother of Hector Luna, is a psychopathic, pedophilic Mad Artist who takes great pleasure in causing pain and torment. Working with the aforementioned Logan on ruining Ronan Pierce's life, Lodder proceeded to rape and murder his young daughter Sarah, later torturing Ronan's wife for seven years. Kidnapping a girl named Lizzy, he lures Ronan to his hideout to save her, only to knock him out and leave him for dead. Having access to multiple women, he keeps them caged and tortures them to death, calling the corpses "works of art". When Rex Galliger invades his hideout, Lodder tries to have him killed for interrupting his fun. Promising Ronan that he'll rape Lizzy, he brags to him about raping his daughter.
    • The Mad Doctor is a sadistic scientist who's the leader of an organ harvesting operation where organs are sold for money. In charge of securing Hector Luna's funding, the Doctor has various people, criminals, and sex slaves brought to him, where he and his doctors proceed to wrap them in ceramic wrap and have them injected with a serum that prevents them from moving or screaming, performing the operations while the victim's awake and in pain.
  • Officer Downe (2016): Zen Master Flash is a psychotic mercenary hired by the Fortune 500 to eliminate undead supercop Terrance Downe. Specializing in killing heroes, Flash aims to not only murder Downe, but to crush his and the city of L.A.'s spirit. Massacring a room full of people with a grin on his face, Flash lures Downe into an ambush, and upon capturing him, betrays his employers, planning to kill them all once he's finished with Downe. Flash slaughters his way into a prison, where he has the inmates torture Downe, and intends to loose the convicts onto the streets of Los Angeles to cause mass chaos for chaos's sake, all in a ploy to utterly destroy the city's hope.
  • Rocktober Blood (1984): John Harper is Billy's homicidal twin brother and a Serial Killer responsible for murdering 25 people prior to Billy's execution after being mistaken for his brother. Returning two years later, John begins stalking Billy's girlfriend, Lynn, pretending to be Billy's ghost in an attempt to make her life a living hell. He also kills people close to her and hides the bodies, with these murders including drowning a girl in a hot tub, and ironing a woman's neck until she dies. Disposing of the tour's lead singer and assuming his position, John eviscerates women onstage; he beheads one and throwing her dismembered head to the audience, viewing this as the "ultimate show".
  • Jun Shibaura/Kamen Rider Gai is a rich, Machiavellian college student and a Psychopathic Manchild who sees people's lives as tools to satisfy him. Recreating the Rider War in the form of a computer game that would subliminal messages to players, Shibaura convinced his own colleagues to participate, always recording the loser getting brutally killed in the process. Putting himself in the position of ORE Journal chief editor, Shibaura planned on spreading city-wide violence by sending his program to their subscribers, and threatened to burn Shinji's Dragreder card if he tried to stop him, which would result in him being devoured by his Contract Monster. When Ren is unable to decide if he should kill him or not, Shibaura takes the opportunity to attack him, mocking Ren for not having the courage to kill him, stating that if a person is a Rider, then killing is a must. Meeting with Asakura, Shibaura gives him Zolda's true identity, despite the fact that he was the one who released him from jail, and gleefully watches Asakura holding a group of people hostage. In his last act of malice, Shibaura kidnapped Yui to reunite the Riders in order to make a "Rider Party" where he could see them fighting each other in his own definition of the ultimate game.
  • Subvisser Fifty-one, also known by her host's name, "Taylor", is a cruel Yeerk. Infesting in the mentally ill girl, Taylor becomes an angry monster who serves as Visser Three's Torture Technician. Using a device that tampers with the pain and pleasure centers of the brain, Taylor captures Tobias and makes him relive the worst moments of his life and inserts agony to the recollections of his best memories. Returning months later after Tobias is rescued, Taylor reveals she severed her mental link with her host, regaining her sanity but not an ounce of morality. Taylor manipulates the Animorphs into helping her kill Visser Three, taunting Tobias about the suffering she put him through, hoping to provoking him into attacking her so she has an excuse to hurt him more. Revealing her actual plan is to kill thousands of her fellow Yeerks, Taylor intends to pin the blame of her attack on the Yeerk Peace Faction.

  • "Clowns 3D": The clown simply known as Sweet Licks was once a normal businessman and entrepreneur, who ran the company/attraction Sweet Licks Family Fun Center and Ice Cream Emporium with his two adult children. However, after the vilification of clowns through horror media, dressing up as clowns to entertain people became a difficult business practice, as no one wanted to shop or even visit their attraction anymore.

The company fell on hard times, and Sweet Licks became so obsessed with working that he stayed inside the cold factory for years until parts of him became permanently frozen.

He uses pickaxes and chainsaws to both attack guests and mutilate still-alive victims and other clowns. As guests try to flee, he attacks them again and defeats them.
