I couldn't possibly eat an entire landscape. That would be gluttony.

"The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde." Now that is a good portrayal of the whole subject of good and evil in characters. Ultimately though, the portrayal of an interesting character has nothing to do with whether they are good or evil/hero or villain. It's about how the characters are created and written. You can easily get bland poorly written villains just as much as you can get bland and poorly written heroes. Just because a protagonist is nice and tries to do the right thing doesn't make them automatically boring. You can easily get "good guy" characters who have deep personalities. Now the "good guy" characters that get hated. Are the ones that literally have no flaws. The ones that are your "Mary Sues and Gary Stus". But the hatred towards those characters have nothing to do with them being a "good guy". The problem with those characters is purely that they are badly designed and written. Regardless of whether or not a character is the hero or villain, any story writer with enough experience will tell you that a good character has virtues aswell as flaws and limitations. Things that make them relatable in some way to the reader/listener/watcher. It's easy for villains to become relatable because in a sense they are riddled with flaws. Flaws that make them do the things that they do. We all have our flaws and we tend to empathise with others who share the same flaws as us. Makes us feel a little less lonely in regards to them. Relatable. A hero or "good guy" character that is well written will also have flaws of their own. It's usually what defines their trial throughout the story in addition to his relationship with the antagonist/villain. It's not about how it ends or who wins. It's about how the characters get to the ending. Where do they start? What problems are they faced with? How do they evolve? Where do they go? How do they overcome their ordeals? Why are they doing the things that they do? How are the hero and villain alike? Countless questions that flesh the characters out be they "good guy" or "bad guy". But where we can relate to flaws in a character, we can also relate to their virtues. A shared ideal or a REALISTIC display of what we would like to see in ourselves can inspire us to empathise in the same way with "good guy" characters. Sometimes the villain can display those qualities also, even without realising it themselves. In some cases, being their redemption (Sunset Shimmer/Starlight Glimmer after their defeat). A similar thing with a hero. They could possess a flaw that makes them fall and lose their way (Princess Luna to Nightmare Moon). Back to the original topic. I don't believe people hate "good guys". They just hate badly made characters.

I choose chauffeur. I guess that could count as automatic.

My turn!

Axey the Faceless Eskimo!

I hope you like flaming farts. Because that's what you be getting now!

Hopefully someday I'll get the chance then! I've always wanted an excuse to cosplay as Carmen Sandiego.

I never knew guys got their belly buttons pierced. Guess I've learned something new today. Definitely nothing against it if it works for them. Heck. I'm the last person to judge anyone over body modification. Although there is a bit of a hedonistic side of me that grins at the idea of getting my belly button pierced, I highly doubt that's something I would get done. The only thing I would get pierced are my ears. But considering that my hair covers up my ears, I doubt any earrings I wear would be visible.

Turbo Outrun for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum (First ever video game I played) Lagoon for the SNES (Great game if you like trying to fight enemies with a sword that has the hit range of a tiny butter knife. I still miss it though)

The most painful thing I've ever suffered from physically were cramps. That's all I really have to go with.
