    WHAT MAKES AN ANTIHERO
    Traditionally, heroes are good, and villains are bad. But somewhere in the middle lay antiheroes - morally ambiguous characters that have only grown in popularity. But what makes an antihero so compelling? In this video, we will explain the murky antihero definition, explore some of the most iconic examples of antiheroes, and provide considerations for anyone interested in writing antiheroes.
    WHAT IS AN ANTIHERO
    Most people agree that an antihero is the main character in a story who simply lacks the qualities of a traditional hero. But, beyond that, the antihero definition is not set in stone. The boundaries that qualify this character type are subjective because they are based on our own sense of morality.
    In fact, we consider the antihero definition to be more of a spectrum, and where each character lands on that spectrum is a combination of our understanding (or sympathy) for them and how much we approve of their actions. The bad things an antihero does might seem justifiable for one person and inexcusable for another. The further toward “disapproval” a character goes, the closer they get to being labeled a “villain protagonist,” another category built on subjectivity.
    WRITING ANTIHEROES
    It should go without saying that writing antiheroes can be tricky. Unlike the well-established boundaries for what makes a hero and what makes a villain, writing antiheroes is a bit like walking a tightrope. Making them too sympathetic reduces their complexity, but making them not sympathetic enough might alienate the audience from engaging with them.
    But there are considerations to keep in mind when writing antiheroes. The first is to give them a backstory or present actions that explain how this character has become who they are. The audience needs to understand or relate to these characters on some level. Another related technique that will help engage the audience with the character is using voiceover. Hearing the thoughts and feelings of the character is a common way to build rapport.
    Furthermore, it helps to give the character an internal conflict. This allows room to change or grow, but it also reminds us of our own moral quandaries. On the flip side, charisma is a great way to counteract any nastiness of the antihero. Likewise, the piece's tone is also a way to soften the harshness of these characters and their actions. And finally, if the character’s actions and behaviors are tied to the overall theme, it helps the audience understand their purpose.
    The complexity and ambiguity of the antihero are perhaps what makes them such compelling characters. Hopefully, with these examples and techniques, you can navigate these morally ambiguous characters just as effectively.

    I honestly believe that the Anti-hero is literally most of us human beings in general. The way life is actually so complicated and layered it's hard to judge someone being morally right or wrong from one point of view. People need to realize that life has too many grey areas and not as simple as choosing a stance in an AVENGER Vs THANOS style.

    My defintion of anti-hero is someone who does immoral things for moral reasons. Such as the Punisher massacring mafias or Magneto using violence to defend an oppressed race.
    And the reason I think we find them so compelling is because they serve as a kind of wish fulfillment for people who wish they could act in those ways but cannot.

      Agreed. I usually love these vids, but I found myself disagreeing so often with this one. Villains can and, in most cases, should have depth and a reason known to the audience. That doesn’t make them an anihero. If they’re the lead, they’re simply a protagonist villain. I’d agree that you can see shifts (Magneto is a great example of that as he moves between villain and antihero) but the definition given in the video covers too wide a spectrum and seems to include protagonist villains.

    • @StephenLeGresley
      @StephenLeGresley Před 11 měsíci +14

      @@takadasaiko06 I classify Magneto as an anti-hero rather then a villain because he has a moral code. In the comics he does what he does because he truly thinks it's the only way to protect his people and he still has lines he will not cross such as hurting children mutant or human.
      In fact in one case he killed on of his own generals because they threatened a bus of human kids.
      Killmonger is more of a villain because unlike Magneto he is willing to cross any line and his goals are more centred around his own anger and personal need for revenge.
      Thanos or the Joker are protagonists in their films but not anti-heroes. Thanos' goal is more about serving his own ego rathet then a moral goal
      "I'm the only one who knows what needs to be done"
      "I'll sit back and watch the sun rise on a grateful universe."

      @@StephenLeGresley I’m hit and miss on X-Men comics, but I’ve always been very fond of Erik. I definitely see a difference in him and… well, the other Erik (Killmonger). Both are compelling characters in which we understand their motivations and can get behind a lot, as the vid was talking about, but in the end Killmonger died a villain. A beautifully written villain, but a villain nevertheless. Had he not died, turned around and redeemed himself, then it would have been a whole different story.
      I’d agree on Magneto having a solid code of ethics. Personally, I see him as sliding back and forth, but I definitely see your point. He’s a hero in his own mind and he’s desperately trying to save his people. It just often goes too far.

    BoJack Horseman is one of the best examples of an anti-hero in my opinion. He’s well written, even though he’s a terrible person. What can be the problem, especially with shows like Velma, is that when the show presents these characters as heroes. People to look up to, and inspire to be. Velma and BoJack both aren’t good people at all, but are handled differently in each series. Velma presents our main title character as a hero who thinks she is better then everyone. The problem with her character is that she’s so pretentious and unlikable that you question why you follow her anyway. BoJack Horseman on the other hand does this differently. The title character may do terrible things, but you understand him like we do for a lot of these type characters. Velma judges people, laughs at romance, and gets away with it all, but BoJack has effected various people throughout his life, especially a lot of women. Unlike Velma, he gets consequences for his actions, and has some remorse for what he does. BoJack feels guilty about a lot of his actions, and he even fears himself. While we don’t approve of what he does, you understand him because of his past, making us feel sorry for each action. Another thing that makes him likable is his needs to actually become a better person, and he actually tries, but he sometimes slips out and goes back to his old self, but with his new change, he still doesn’t want to do anything what he does, even though he’s doing it.

    What a way to start an epic video. Using the intro of blade, one of my favorite vampires movie and with an intro who gets me into music.
    Antiheroes. The new heroes for this society, what a great way to explain what makes them unique but also complex. Many people just sticks with the negative side but forgets to add the complexity of the dilemmas they are. Is not just doing wrong things for good sake, it is because they have a goal that has so much meaning at the end.
    I like to think that the cynicism they have is what makes the downfall or lift up the antihero, which path he took on his believes is what makes his fate interesting.

      @@samanthac.349 Although I don't like the ending, I can see the point that people make that he is still the same character, in love with his sister and giving everything for that love. Yes, he have his code, he have his way of thinking (or else he wouldn't have helped the North), but his heart falls in the same place where he was buried: With his love. I think he is not a villain by any stretch. He still did things for the love, duty and honor that he follows, looking further than a simple minded Northman who think loyalty and honor are everything that defines somebody as good. Roose Bolton is a villain, Tywin Lannister is a villain, Walder Frey is a villain, Euron Greyjoy is a villain, because they don't follow any code besides self preservation and ruthlessness, no matter how much damage they leave in their wake. Jaime going back to Cersei didn't change the character he is. He may hate the actions of his sister? Of course. But that doesn't make him love her less. And it shows that he TRIED not to be tied by his love, but he was. I think it's a good tragedy, even thought, like I said, I don't like it. It still fits him and doesn't change the fact that he is an Anti Hero.

    Better caul Saul is a a good example of it, you see a man who you already know where he is going and what he becomes, and you learn about his background and intentions.

    As far as favourite antiheroes go, it's hard to look past Yojimbo / The Man With no Name. I just love the way the characters embody very little of what traditionally makes a hero while still being that "hero" in Yojimbo / A Fistful of Dollars. Omar Little in The Wire would be another favourite - "A man's gotta have a code."
    I think the reason I find antihero characters so watchable is how over-the-top heroes can be portrayed. Heroes become the embodiment of everything that's seen ideal in a person, and that cynicism we have of such people is healthy. Having flawed individuals caught up in their own stories and trying to act "heroic" in spite of their limitations makes for a story with lessons one can learn from. It's all well and good for Superman to fight evil, but none of us are supermen so how much can we take to heart from the tale?

      ​@@StudioBinder This voice actor is A-grade. And the ultra-BBC-presenter is great, of course. When we watch those videos, we are Receiving _The_ Truth from his omnipresent R.P. In contrast, this actor's narration transcends straight through clarity into transparency: we experience the words but forget whether or not we heard a voice, read the words, or thought of the ideas ourselves.

    I’m kind of surprised SAW 1-3 didn’t appear here; my brother actually insisted on me seeing them. I think it’s remarkably well-made, and I’m barely a watcher of horror movies, let alone a fan of gore but the FINALE was mind-blowing and I found that the hype of gore can be digested better in light 💡 of a well placed story-telling!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I can’t remember how anybody died but I can’t forget how he planned it All!!

    It is just the point of view through which the film maker want us to see the story. If the actions are accompanied by the reasons then the audiences are convinced, then it does not matter if the guy is a hero or anti hero.
    Joker is the most eligible example of that.

    My fav kind of protagonist because they define the character as a blurry line and that they are grey area characters that are up to people’s interpretation!! They are also the more interesting kind of protagonist compared to someone like Superman!! The one anti hero that stands out for me is Travis Bickle, because he is a lonely man and nowadays men are feeling that way!! Thank you StudioBinder for covering this topic!!

    • @StudioBinder

    The Anti Hero should be more tightly defined in terms of what "anti" really means. It means not like the rest of the herd of the culture, not like The Man wants him to be or do, not fitting into society in typical terms, he's alone, an introvert and somewhat troubled depending on his journey. Violence is a symptom not of the character, but of the resistance society has towards "freedom" which is what all stories are fundamentally struggling with. The Anti-Hero is in more control over his or her personal freedom than the rest of society because he is willing to do what is necessary without societal constraints. The audience lives through this behavior and these decisions. The constraints are what binds us psychologically, and the anti hero releases us for a moment, maybe even allowing us to realize how moral compass is contrived by society or maybe ourselves, being held captive. The purpose of the Anti-Hero is not to illustrate violence but to illustrate control, who is in control of who and becoming a hero means breaking free of ourselves as ourselves are often times our own worst enemy. But again, thematically its about freedom, not violence. The Anti Hero refuses to be constrained by the debt based society nor be a sheep in how culture molds our behavior. The purpose of these characters is supposed to help the audience realize to step outside of themselves, to find another dimension of themselves and be their own hero and not worry about approval, moral or otherwise. That's freedom.

    Hi,
    I saw the anti hero type like in film like uncharted, blue streak or pirates of caraibes seems so much appreciable that the truly good guys on the movie start being the actual bad guy ...
    What do you think about that ?
    Should be good if you go deeper in the subject like that. ;)

  • @XxF0RSAKEN

    For me, an anti Hero is someone how does the wrong thing or bad things for the right reason but an anti Villain(for lack of a better word) is someone who does good things for the wrong reason. It sounds a bit confusing but when you think about it, it makes sense.

    Anti heroes are so relevant in this time considering the fact that 3 years ago there was a pandemic and there was a lot of angst!! Some people feel like anti heroes because it feels like so much has affected them in many ways and want people to sympathize for them at least even if the actions or thoughts they have may not be right!!

    • @StudioBinder

      Those two are more villains, but perhaps a case can be made for being antiheroes

    • @brimfire7536
      @brimfire7536 Před 9 měsíci +1

      An antagonist is solely a hero that sometimes does bad things for good, not just some protagonist that does bad things but can be sympathized with. This analysis of what an anti-hero is is a bad one.

    thinking of anti hero, means for thinking of Asterix the gaul, thinking a bit of Rorschach ( but for me is Rorschach the only hero in the Movie/Comic, neither the other survivors...
    thinking of June Osborne and Serena Waterford both are Heroes and Antiheroes at the same time for me... Thinking of Michael Burnham in ST Discovery, also the Empress Georgio Phillipa...
    I think in a Good Story is a good Written AntiHero just the Cream Whip on the Ice Cream...
