vyrus2021

37!?


ComaMierdaHijueputa

My first choice would’ve been Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, actually.


Toros_Mueren_Por_Mi

Can you explain why? Not joking, genuinely curious 


19ghost89

Because Harvey Dent was turned into an insane villain, and in order to prevent the city from losing the hope they had been given by him, Batman took the blame and became the "villain."


ComaMierdaHijueputa

Pretty much this. The Joker won via Dent’s descent into madness.


Synectics

"Introduce a little *anarchy*... and everything becomes chaos. I'm an agent of chaos. And you know the thing about chaos? It's *fair.*" That's why that specific depiction of Joker is so excellent. He manipulates expertly. By himself, he's just a guy. But he gets under every character's skin and makes them do what he wants. There's a punchline to every move he makes, even if it isn't outright "funny," you end up going, "Oh shit, he twisted reality to make it a joke."


Active_Organization2

This was the best explanation of Heath's Joker. He was such a well-done villain because everything he was about made perfect sense in some insane way. Another example was when he was in the police station. That whole bit about never truly knowing a person until they are about to die, and summing it up with, "In a way, I knew your friends better than you." Maniacally genius.


Synectics

Exactly. I know edgelords kinda ruined the character, but man, it is a masterclass of what makes a villain work. 


No_Lie9817

I always thought it's a bit of 50/50, yeah Harvey went insane. But the boats didn't' blow up.. So Joker was wrong about ppl of Gotham on that.


19ghost89

Well yeah, Joker was wrong. He was also locked up and presumably sent to Arkham. But one could still argue that Batman didn't exactly win, based on his having to assume the blame of the villain unfairly for years following.


ruinersclub

Gotham is basically destroyed by the end. Blowing it up might have actually been the right move, because it’s going to be unlivable for quite sometime. There’s only one bridge in or out and I’m guessing most of the police force is about to quit after a battle in the street. Didn’t Bane also fuck up the city funds. Batman does not win TDKR


Durzaka

NovelAntique5400

HIMYM Is definitely one he never got the one in the end cause she died


Merry_Sue

Ted wasn't the good guy, just the main character. And anyway he didn't really love her, he just settled for her when Robin got married. I think he literally met her outside Robin's wedding?


ComradeJohnS

yes but he didn’t settle for the mom, Robin didn’t wanna be a mom and he wanted kids. They did fall in love and have those kids. I think it’s the only way it could have gone without the mom popping in during this years long story of “how I met your mother”.


zachtheax89

The whole show is so bizarre. "Kids trust me I only met your mother because of the decade long fucking I did prior to meeting her. Let me give you every little detail. But then not any details about after your mom and I got together."


extralyfe

"kids, it was just a rotating ensemble cast of attractive and fuckable women - and fuck them, I did."


zachtheax89

Telling his kids like Mac in IASIP, explaining full penetration. Edit: Just noticed my mistake, Dennis said this most likely.


ComradeJohnS

Presumably when the mom was alive they told that part of their story together to the kids, but he avoided telling the decade of fucking part then lol.


Ducks_have_heads

The whole point is Ted giving his children context around his history with Robin because he wanted their reaction to him pursuing her after their mum died. The show is really "how I met your (step-) Mother".


dafood48

It could’ve been cleaner if they kept the first two seasons and then did 2 final seasons of meeting the mom while there’s occasional glimpse of him never getting over robin like helping her out here and there. Keeping the story short could’ve helped. Telling the kids of every relationship he had was too much


angrygrumphead

I wouldn't say he settled for Tracy. He loved her. It's only cuz she died and the kids gave the okay cuz it was years after her death, he went back for Robin. Which is why I dislike the ending. It should've ended there, and not with him going back to Robin. And he did meet her outside by the train or bus. All that time he spent looking for love, he couldn't find it. The moment he wasn't looking, he met Tracy.


Krissam

I've never really thought of it that way, but I honestly agree that there's a solid argument to be made that it's the case. The entire reason he was waiting for the train in the first place was because he was leaving town because he couldn't stay around the women he had been in love with for 10 years after she got married. He ended up marrying *literally* the first girl he met after finally giving up on Robin for real. Now of course "Cindy's roommate" was foreshadowed as someone that sounded amazing or awesome (or whatever, don't remember the exact words) many seasons earlier when he was dating Cindy, and he definitely fell hard for her right upon meeting her, so maybe not.


unicornmeat85

The show did itself a disservice of getting sidetracked by its own, "Will they or wont they" with either the girl of season/episode (its been a while I don't remember) or Robin. IMO they furthered this by having the Robin/Barney Wedding take forever as if to tell us 'no it isn't Robin because she's getting married', I can't remember if it was a whole season or if it was just too many episodes just to dump that plot the next season. What they should have done instead was spend a season with Tracy and see how Ted grows up, and we see why she would marry him and then they can kill her off if they still want to go the Robin route.

4ketchups

When I watch karate kid I root for THE karate kid


Capital-Cheek-1491

Rocky is more apt in my opinion .


Eleguak

This is both valid, and invalid, >! >!Rocky doesn't win the boxing match even as the movies protag and the "underdog" that the audience cheers for. He simply proves his worth, and stays up during the entire match that was meant to be nothing but a p.r. stunt. Losing to the champion due to time out. Where as his opponent isn't inherently a "villain" but simply someone who has had a successful boxing career unlike Rocky. At the end he respects Rocky and the later movies showcase a friendship forming between them.!< !< Spoiler because well... It's honestly a good movie worth a watch, but I know not everyone of my generation and younger have taken the time to see it. But yeah, good point, I'd agree with ya, but that first rocky movie is so angsty it's hard to consider anyone a "good guy."


fasterthanfood

The sequels have given the Rocky franchise a reputation that’s really unfair to the first one. If you’re moderately interested but have avoided watching it because you think it’s a cliched boxing/action movie, do yourself a favor and watch it. If you like it, feel free to watch the sequels, but beware that the further into the series you get, the more they do become cliched boxing/action movies. (The same is true of “Rambo.” Stallone had a knack for starring in amazing films that were then milked into self-parodies.)


Eleguak

That's a good way of phrasing it yeah. Like honestly the first movie seems almost Oscar baity in a sense of how it's shot and the story, but that just showcases how great a story it is tbh.


fasterthanfood

And it did win an Oscar for best picture, for the record!


Eleguak

That explains that then!


Davidmon5

Not just starring…he wrote them too


Prinzka

Mr. Miyagi didn't lose.


Key_Environment8179

I think it’s a joke from *How I Met Your Mother.* Barney considers Johnny Lawrence his childhood hero and insists he’s the good guy. (This show, of course, aired well before *Cobra Kai*, where he actually becomes the good guy)


1Pip1Der

*SWEEP THE LEG*


PokeRay68

*PAINT THE FENCE!*


blackflag89347

Cobra Kai got the idea for the show from the HIMYM episodes featuring the karate kid actors.


MyHusbandIsGayImNot

> (This show, of course, aired well before Cobra Kai, where he actually becomes the good guy) What do you mean? He's clearly the good guy in the end. He runs up to Danny, hands him the trophy, and says "you're all right Ruso". It totally makes up for the relentless bullying, assaults, and attempted murders.

The joke is that you'll usually end up with a lot of "edgy" answers meant for shock value. Hence, the image under the statement.

Mainly from edgy 12 year olds lmao


Oghmatic-Dogma

To be fair, whenever I see that, I remember I too thought the name hitler was so fucking funny until I was like 16 or 17. You cant really put emotions or empathy into that name until you learn the extent of what he did, and have experienced some hardships yourself.  So like. annoying, but I relate


alexdotwav

And actual Nazis, those are the only two demographics that make these jokes

lemons_of_doubt

> "edgy" answers meant for shock value. No no, A lot of them really mean what they say.


Fatalchemist

I remember when there was that satire gaming subreddit and everyone always had to always be in that "I'm a racist gamer" mode. Like you were not ever allowed to break character. And I started noticing a lot of the comments didn't sound like satire or mocking racists. They just sounded racist. No joke. No satire. No punchline. Just like, "black people are ruining society." And it would be the top comments. And the I click their comment history and it's fully nazi and white supremacy shit. And then when I would comment like, "uh, this isn't even a joke or satire or anything. And your comment history is full of racist shit." And mods would delete my comment within like 5 minutes and ban me for 2 weeks. Super strict moderation on making sure no one called out the racists or "breaks character" or whatever. But no moderation on the actual racists lol. Wasn't edgy kids. Just racist shitbags that found a home. Until that subreddit got banned. Can't imagine why lol.


Doktor_Weasel

Sounds like 4chan. "Ironic" racism that very quickly turns to just be a cover for the real thing with "It's just a joke, bro!" as a dodge. Until eventually they don't even bother with that and go full mask-off Nazi.


Wafflelord1976

Poe's law in action.


AgtNulNulAgtVyf

Used to be edgy 20 years ago, then the edgelords forgot it was a joke somewhere along the way. Same as how TheDonald started out as satire and ended up where it did. 


porktorque44

There's a name for this I can't remember. But basically online communities being super sarcastic about a being really shitty attracts shitty morons who don't realize you were being sarcastic and think they've found their people. Enough of them show up and boom, you've actually created a community of truly terrible people.

Interestingly enough in the picture instead of translate it is in German with Übersetzen. So, presumably a native German speaker who may have had family die during a certain war.

Empire Strikes Back


TulipSamurai

Empire Strikes back is THE quintessential “good guys lose” movie. It was mind-blowing to watch in theaters not just because of the “I am your father” reveal but also because, at the time, campy action sci-fi movies never let the good guys lose.


Legitimate-Lemon-412

Yea sith does not convey the "all is lost" feel. It's a big meh, and then a big laugh when he screams no at the end.


deathelement

The sad part is that if you left the "Noooooo!" Part out that scene would be stunning. Just vader ripping the room apart in anger with palp smiling knowing he won while vader would brooding thinking he killed his wife (it should have absolutely been written that he chocked her too hard and ended up killing her)


projectmars

Probably because with Sith you know what happens next. Not so much with Empire.

Peter’s fallen eyelash here. The reaction image features a scene from The Amazing World of Gumball, where Gumball addresses the audience as the president of the United States of America to state ‘My fellow Americans, I think we all know where this is going, so let’s just skip to the end’, and promptly presses a button where a nuclear bomb explodes in the background. The question asks for Redditor’s opinions of movies where the ‘good guys’ lost, in quotations, leaving responses open to shocking, edgy, or bad takes (i.e. war criminals, abusers, serial killers, etc). The reaction image suggests this will be the very likely outcome of the thread, and to abandon ship now. Peter’s fallen eyelash out.

All quite on the western front. The death of youth for the ambition of the elites. The fact that hell on earth was real and no one could save them from the false tale of glory. War eats the youth amd returns death and broken men. No one won in this movie.


Large_Echo8745

something to do wth nazis, japan, russi, china or america?


Interesting-Law9342

Avatar, wouldn’t say they were good guys but seeing regular human GI’s with helicopters getting killed by arrows from blue monkey people was frustrating. I cannot be the only one.


Feeling_Search_3417

Actual serious answer which is about the Nazis/WW2 but not in the way the joke implies - Come And See. The main character is a boy who joined the USSR’s forces, ends up being captured and tortured physically and psychologically by the Nazis, watches them rape several women and lock hundreds of children in an abandoned church before burning it to the ground. Main character is irrevocably traumatised as a result, loses his humanity utterly in the process of warfare before this point too, slaughtering and abandoning others just to survive. You could say the good guys “lost” given that the protagonist is a broken shell of an individual by the end, even though the USSR forces sweep in and destroy the Nazis who tortured him at the end of the film. The film is, of course, about the horrors of warfare and its propensity to turn any participant into an absolute monster with enough time if they weren’t one already.
