I was running through some old Portal 2 quotes in my head and realized that it Cave Johnson were a real person, people would absolutely hate him.

    Captain! Jack Sparrow. Fun to watch and wonder how much he plans or if he’s just good at improv. But he’s routinely sacrificing his crew-members/friends for his own advantage.

    Tony Stark would be controversial. A billionaire weapons dealer who indirectly killed millions of people with his weapons. Then he turns around and decides to be a superhero but continues to cause destruction and inadvertently kill people. A lot of people would think he’s only doing heroic acts for the praise.

    The main characters of ‘Friends’, perhaps excluding Phoebe Buffay. Once you try to figure out their morals, it’s baffling how they can be considered even half decent people.

    Handsome Jack. Hilarious, beloved villain but anyone would want to punch his smug face in if they actually met him.

      We enjoy watching them because they are horrible people who never really succeed at what they are trying to do. I don’t think anyone would want to hang out with them.

          I’m continually amazed that characters of ‘Seinfeld’ are considered awful, while those in ‘Friends’ are supposedly fine. The latter are prime fit for an answer to this post, if one digs into their morals a little.

          Seinfeld characters are whimsical. This not true of Its Always Sunny where they are at best, degenerates.

              George is entirely built on the premise of doing minor things that a normal person wouldn’t consider doing: he’s a fictionalized Larry David, and ‘almost everything’ of his antics comes from David’s real experiences. As you probably know, David later did another whole show on the same premise: ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’.

                My favorite story from the cast is when Jason Alexander was talking with Larry David about a particularly unlikely scenario, saying he was having trouble relating as a character to something that would never happen to anyone. David said “What are you talking about? This happened to me.” It was then that Alexander realized that George is Larry, and he stopped doing George as Woody Allen.

                  That happens to be the video that I linked. Alexander then provides some more musings on Larry David and the nature of ‘Seinfeld’ and ‘CYE’.

      Jesus would probably get on my nerves.

      He never called people by their names and gave them weird nicknames and spoke in riddles like a guy who fried his brain on weed and LSD in college during an ethics class.

      People would hate the real time moralising, but would love free wine and would be amazed by his party tricks, like walking on water. That was pretty cool!

    Willy Wonka may not be hated, but he would definitely be vilified. There is no way a candy maker who refused to allow inspectors into his factory would be allowed to sell candy to the general public.

    Plus, under the current administration, ICE would break in and forcibly deport (kidnap) all the Ommpa Loompas.

      Wonka is arguably guilty of slavery and even if he didn’t kill four kids, he at least traumatized four kids. And he laid off all his workers, leading some of them to become impoverished.

      Would trump deport them for not being white, save them for being orange, or leave them there because they’re already slaves?
