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:

Please see the Frequently Asked Questions and Common Requests List before suggesting any new entries for this trope.

IMPORTANT: To avoid a holler to the mods, please see here for the earliest date a work can be discussed, (usually two weeks from the US release), as well as who's reserved discussion.

When voting, you must specify the candidate(s). No blanket votes (i.e. "[tup] to everyone I missed").

No plagiarism: It's fair to source things, but an effortpost must be your own work and not lifted wholesale from another source.

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.

For Stuart, I'll abstain.

  • A Father to His Men: Despite being a sociopath who doesn't bat an eye crashing a plane full of people, he cares about his men to some extent. He's not happy when Miller returns without Cochrane and almost kills him over it. When John kills Stuart's men in the skywalk, this in turn leads to the aforementioned plane crashing.
  • Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: Hans Gruber was a Gentleman Thief from Germany, with him and his crew robbing Nakatomi Plaza while posing as far-left Western Terrorists in order to deflect police attention from what they're actually up to. While he once was a leftist terrorist himself, he has long since abandoned any political ideals; his motive here is purely about getting rich. Col. Stuart is an American ex-Special Forces colonel who launches a genuine terrorist attack at Dulles International Airport, seeking to rescue Ramon Esperanza, the drug lord dictator of a Latin American Banana Republic. His motive is expressly political and anti-communist, seeing Esperanza as a key ally in the Cold War who the US recklessly removed from power (though Stuart's people are also getting paid a lot of money, according to one of Esperanza's lines).

'Yes' to Stuart and Alik.

Now for some more comic baddies...got two versions of a CM classic to discuss.

What's the work?

Star Wars Infinities is basically DC's Elseworlds or Marvel's What If...? but Star Wars. Presenting three stories based on the original trilogy, it shows the stories in alternate ways than what "really" happened in Canon.

First, from Infinities: A New Hope? What would have happened if the attempt to destroy the Death Star failed.

Who is he?

Emperor Palpatine, obviously! The Big Bad of the comic, we see what would have happened if the first Death Star was never destroyed...

What has he done?

The same cruel, power-mad Sith lord as in canon stories, Palpatine here is shown to have been the one to ordee the destruction of Alderaan, smirking in glee at the memory. Later ordering the rebel base on Yavin-4 be destroyed, Palpatine has the re-captured Princess Leia brought before him, and orders Vader to begin training her as a new Sith, sensing her power in the Force.

As Palpatine rechristens the Death Star "the Justice Star," he proclaims his plans to expand the Empire and use it to annihilate all opposition with Vader and a brainwashed Leia as his Co-Dragons, and, upon hearing that the remains rebellion are planning to attack the Empire's celebratory unveiling of the Justice Star, Palpatine prepares a trap to slaughter the rebellion in a final victory.

Once Leia is converted to the Dark Side, Palpatine lures Luke to his location on Coruscant, goading him into fighting Leia and even mocking Vader at the revelation that they are both his children. Proclaiming that the winner of the Skywalker children duel will kill the other and take their place at Palpatine's side.

Ultimately, the Skywalker kids team up and refuse to fight one another, and Palpatine responds by using Force Lightning on them, planning to use it to torture them to death with a smile on his face. When Vader tries to save his children, Palpatine turns his lightning on Vader, mortally wounding his former apprentice.

Unfortunately for the Emperor...as all of this was happening, Jedi Master Yoda boarded the Justice Star, used the Force to make Tarkin his "tour guide", and proceeds to crash the Justice Star into Coruscant, with Palpatine dying as he realizes with an Oh, Crap! face that the Justice Star is about to crush him.

Freudian Excuse or other redeeming features?

It's fothermucking Palpatine.

Heinousness?

For this Elseworlds-type comic in its own continuity, I think Palpatine is bad enough and distinguishes himself enough to warrant his own entry. He ordered the destruction of Alderaan and Yavin-4, plans to spread the dictatorship of the Empire, lures the Rebellion into a trap to slaughter them, tries to force the Skywalkers to kill eah other, then tries to torture them both to death with Force Lightning.

Final Verdict?

I'd say a Keeper.

No! That is NOT Solid Snake! Stop impersonating him!

[tup] the Die Hard guys

Fun fact, Hans Gruber was simmilarly voted down initially for a supposed care for his men, but like Stuart was eventually reevaluated as someone realized that was BS.

Also...I'm always really iffy whenever this whole "at that point resources don't matter" thing. I get that recources isn't a get on the trope free card, but where exactly IS the point where it stops mattering? We've had examples where dudes try to destroy the universe And a terrorist up. Or hell look at the most famous case of the recourses thing, with Shou Tucker and Father.

For me Resources only shouldn't matter if it's a franchise like DBZ Or Doctor Who where every other villain is Uber Heinous.

Van Zant is the best "Resources are not get on trope free card" example ever because he just kills people.

That's it.

He doesn't rape or torture or drug people into becoming mindless slaves - unless I'm remembering wrong.

In Dragon Ball killing a lot of people is so standard it becomes just noise. That's why Frieza stands out not just for killing so many but for his extra cruelty and calculating nature, or Cell wanting to draw out every human's death so he can see their face contort in terror.

Alik seems like The Asset from Jason Bourne to me.

Plus Frieza and Cell have, what, millions? Billions? of actual and attempted murders? Van Zant has...less than 100 I think.

BTW, I trimmed this:

  • Lyosha & Arkadi are the most prominent of the henchmen that the Reaper employs. Lyosha is the brains of the operation, makeing sure to capture every grizzly detail, while Arkadi kills the unexpecting targets. Both also work as crew members for a low-budget slasher film being made in Russia. One night, mute make-up artist Billy Hughes is accidentally left behind and catches the duo filming their snuff film. The duo stalks Billy throughout the empty film studio, nearly catching her a few times. Lyosha is able to convince the police that the "murder" was staged, showing the police a "fake" knife, and manages to give the slasher film being filmed in order to evade suspicion. Arkadi kills the night janitor that finds him burning the body of the woman he's killed and later tries to kill Billy, stalking her in her own home.

[down] Yeah, for Cell, if nothing else, the effort is there.

It's not even sheer numbers. Every one of our keeps from DB has more than "kills people."

That is what makes Van Zant so pathetic.

Now, if he were Zsazz, maybe he'd keep.

  • Psychic Force OVA: Richard Wong, like his game counterpart, is an evil Psychic who seeks ownership of the world. Serving as Keith Evan's chief advisor, Richard helps Keith start a war against humanity, assisting his battles and the creation of the Psychic country, Noah. Revealing himself as a selfish backstabber to his comrades, Wong decides to detonate the Psychic headquarters, willing to murder hundreds of rescued Psychics just to make an escape.
  • Blake and Mortimer: Over the years, Blake and Mortimer faced various enemies, but a few managed to stand out from the crowd through their sheer evil:
    • The Secret of the Swordfish: Emperor Basam-Damdu is the head of the Yellow Empire. After claiming that he wanted peace, he attacked the free world, bombing several capitals in order to break the free world's minds, successfully taking over the world. When La Résistance starts fighting back, Basam-Damdu and his Great Council put the blame on Colonel Olrik, subtly threatening him and telling him to force Mortimer to reveal the Swordfish's plans in two days, or he will send someone to torture Mortimer. When the resistance is slowly winning, Basam-Damdu launches his empire's nuclear arsenal, attempting to destroy the world out of spite. A selfish, uncaring man who didn't care even for his own empire, Basam-Damdu was among the first, and among the worst, of the comic's villains.
    • The Voronov Plot: Dr. Voronov, thinking that the current Soviet leaders fail to follow Josef Stalin's ideas, plans to take over the USSR and kill its current leaders. Discovering the bacteria Z, which can kill adults in a day while children are immune to it, Voronov, against the government's orders, decides to use it against the West and the United States, having his agents send children bearing the bacteria to kiss celebrities, thus infecting and killing them. When Colonel Olrik fails to prevent Blake and Mortimer from foiling Voronov's plan, Voronov sends Olrik to London to retrieve or destroy the sample of the bacteria stolen by Blake and his allies. He also wants Olrik to frame the Kremlin, which, combined with their assassination attempt against Elizabeth II, would lead to a nuclear war, killing millions, something Voronov is fully aware of. When General Oufa tries to stop him, Voronov kills him with a drill. When learning that Grace, the infected girl who kissed the queen, had sickle-cell anemia, thus destroying the bacteria, Voronov sent Olrik to kidnap her. Loyal to none but his fanatic Stalinist ideals, Voronov is one of the comic's most depraved non-Jacobs villains.
  • Mighty Samson (Dark Horse Comics, by Jim Shooter et al.): Sunder is the consort of Queen Terra and commander of the Jerz army, ascending to his position by murdering his superior officer. Regularly taking masses of the N'Yark tribe as slave labor, Sunder was maimed by an infant Samson while trying to kill the newborn, to which he took revenge years later by killing his mother. Following his defeat by Samson and subsequent exile by Terra, Sunder acquires a Dreadnought that he uses to conquer the N'Yark and force them into slavery before marching to storm Terra's kingdom as well.
  • Nyarlathotep, by Hernán Rodríguez: Nyarlathotep is shown in flashbacks meeting with men who didn't believe in his abilities, and were subjected to a Fate Worse than Death. In the present day, he is arriving at the protagonist's city, where the citizens wish to meet with him. In the end, they are all corrupted, and those afflicted by Nyarlathotep are compelled to travel to their deaths—and beyond—with the last page showing the city a desolate ruin.
  • Green Lantern/Green Arrow:
    • Slapper Soams, from issue #1's "Journey to Desolation!", is the owner of a small town called Desolation. Soams lives like a king while the town lives in poverty, with the town's people having to work at Soams's mine. Soams has hired Nazis to beat up the miners or any townspeople who displease him. When a mine worker named Johnny writes a protest song against Soams, Soams has him convinced in a rigged trial and sentences him to be hanged. Soams secretly hires a worker named Jacob to stir up a rebellion among the workers, planning to have his Nazi paramilitary forces kill a third of the workers, in order to scare the rest into complete obedience.
    • Joshua, from issue #2's "A Kind of Loving, A Way of Death", is an evil cult leader with Mind Control powers, based on Charles Manson. After finding Black Canary injured at the side of the road, Joshua gives her medical attention, then brainwashes her into being his puppet. Joshua has kidnapped several people, mind-controlling them and forcing them to live on his compound. Joshua is a violent racist who wants to kill every nonwhite person in the US and orders his death cult to kill everyone at a Native reservation. After being defeated, Joshua orders Black Canary to kill Green Arrow.
  • The Lion King: Scar is the envious younger brother of King Mufasa who, upon losing his position as next in line to the throne by the birth of his nephew Simba, sought to take it by force. First tricking the young Simba and his friend Nala into entering the Elephant Graveyard to be killed by his hyena henchmen, Scar next orchestrates a wildebeest stampede and tosses Mufasa to his death after he attempts to rescue his son. Blaming a grief-stricken Simba for his father's murder, Scar forces him into exile before commanding the hyenas to finish him off. Upon taking control, Scar's incompetence as king leads to a famine, with Scar uncaring that he is sentencing everyone to death, even striking Mufasa's widow Sarabi unconscious when she criticizes his rule. Upon Simba's return, Scar takes advantage of Simba's lingering guilt over his father's death to attempt to execute him publicly, pausing only to mockingly reveal his role in Mufasa's death. Later, to save his own life, he attempts to foist the blame on his hyena henchmen before attempting to kill Simba, even after the latter spares his life.
  • The Lion Guard: Scar, Mufasa's envious younger brother, is just as vile as he was in the original film. Once the leader of the original Lion Guard, Scar decides to overthrow and kill Mufasa when the latter playfully nicknames his brother "Scar" when Scar tried to seek praise for killing a traitorous lion and cobra who scarred him—not revealing that he had been perfectly willing to work with them to overthrow Mufasa. When Scar's fellow Lion Guard members refused to help him overthrow Mufasa, Scar uses the Roar of the Elders to kill them, but ends up losing the Roar in the process. In season 2, years after his initial death, Scar is brought back as a fiery spirit and tries to lead the animals of the Outlands on a brutal conquest of the Pride Lands, first by cutting off the river and entire water supply of the whole Pride Lands, and eventually simply trying to have them burn the savannah and all its inhabitants. In the season 3 premier, Scar attempts to burn the new Lion Guard, Simba, Nala, Kiara, and the hyena clan to death, the latter for one of them considering on defecting to the Pride Lands, before planning on tricking Kion into erupting the volcano with his roar, which will kill everyone in the Pride Lands. When confronted by the Lion Guard, Scar has Ushari scar Kion, with the snake's venom slowly turning Kion evil as Scar declares that Kion will now be just like him. Even after the death of his physical body, Scar remained a hateful creature driven by spite.

Void of empathy, Seth views his own allies as little better than pawns, using Torch as a guinea pig for a new Move Card, a process which will eventually kill him, and when Helga discovers Seth's scheming and tries to stop him, Seth kills her. Facing the D-Team in Russia, Seth reveals his plans to create an army of hyper-evolved dinosaurs to conquer the world and subjugate humanity, before ordering Torch to murder them. Invading the D-Team's hometown, Seth holds its population hostage, spitefully ordering them executed, before attempting to kill Rex, despite the latter sparing him. Void of loyalty or conscience, Seth cemented himself as the worst enemy the D-Team ever faced.

  • The Rake (2018): This depiction of The Rake portrays it as a tormenting demon-like entity that takes as much joy in emotionally destroying its victims as much as it does slaughtering them.
