Comments by "Morgan King" (@MorganKing95) on "Top 10 Movie Anti-Heroes" video.

  1. +Jason Case Personally, I can forgive this screwup more easily than Watchmojo's later video "Top 10 Method Actors"; that list and their definition was just painful and provocative, and they completely confused Method Acting with research and dedication

  2. Michael Corleone is at least a tragic hero, as well as Daniel Plainview

  3. Jason Case​ Yes, I can understand that this video is provocative, and they even lost it when they said that it's sometimes better to root for the bad guy. There are some characters on this list that might be considered anti-heroes if you analyze them deeply, but most of them were not anti-heroes at all, and they could have used much better examples

  4. By the more accurate definition, it's a character who has mostly good objectives and does the right thing, but mostly out of selfish reasons. Anti-heroes also lack the typical "heroic" characteristics like being friendly and compassionate. Some general examples can be that grumpy old man who lives alone and doesn't want to be friend with anyone, but eventually does. Or a former criminal who has seemingly reformed and doesn't do criminal things, but still isn't that friendly in nature, or a police detective who does immoral things like torturing and killing enemies to solve a crime and get to the main villain

  5. I think Alex was more of an anti-hero in the novel than in the movie: http://www.gradesaver.com/a-clockwork-orange/study-guide/character-list/

  6. That's why I mostly prefer them over ideal heroes

  7. Michael comes off as a tragic hero or anti-hero in the first movie at least

  8. Jason Case The definition of Method Acting is not completely subjective though; it is developed by someone (Lee Strasberg) and has therefore established principles and "rules", which is later spread to the schools as their curriculum. The main reason I can forgive this list more than "Top 10 Method Actors" is because the screwup has not "infected" the general audience's impression (evidenced by the fact that there are lots of comments like yours that criticize WatchMojo for not getting the definition right). The misconception around Method Acting however spreads to people like a disease, and it makes them criticize it for something it is not

  9. ***** Tyler Durden is the "evil" and anarchistic side of The Narrator

  10. This video was uploaded 4 months before The Wolf of Wall Street was released

  11. it's so typical; parents believe that certain things and references are of bad influence and should be avoided even though an average child will not understand what's so bad about it. either that, or "harmless" things becomes dark and taboo just because of an infamous context
