ENTER! TV/Media Av Contest: Good and Bad

[auntiehill]

This week's contest is about the "bad good guy," the anti-hero, the protagonist with whom we identify and who we want to win---yet he's not a completely "good" guy. He or she (or they) is flawed, perhaps of dubious morals or motives, but we root for them just the same. From Bogart's Sam Spade to Clint Eastwood's Man with No Name, from Jim Mackey to Macbeth. Pick your favorite bad "good guy" from any TV show, movie, book, play or comic.

No scifi/fantasy, please (otherwise, I'd go straight for Avon! ). Standard av rules apply. The poll will go up on Wednesday.

To get us started, I'll go with Dexter:

Vincent & Jules from Pulp Fiction

Um...I hope this is allowed...

The anti-hero of the WWE universe.

[edit] Since pro-wrestling is scripted and the Superstars essentially are characters...they do call it "Sports Entertainment".

 

[auntiehill]

^That's fine. It's fictional, so it works.

 

[Jetfire]

^Awesome!

If you are not familiar with CM Punk...

^I was wondering who that was.

Sorry; just like it says in the OP, no scifi.

Funny, there's an av contest on another board currently running the theme "Anti-Heroes", I entered Eastwood's "Man without a Name". I hesitate to enter the same here, since JiNX-01 already entered Dirty Harry, so the Eastwood-vote might be split. But considering the phrasing of this contest's title, I am very tempted to enter this:

d'oh !

I'll try to rethink this.

With Thomas Jane's Punisher? Hell, you got my vote.

 

[Admiral Shran]

I don't know if comic book movies count as Sci-Fi/Fantasy, so I'll tentatively enter this one....

Time to give this one an airing once more:
