@Nilitch:
You could also say "Aren't psychopath characters cliché?", I mean the other words you used just defined what a psycho was. And I don't know if rich(/whatnot) psycho is cliché. I mean, I don't know if I can give any other name than Patrick Bateman.
Anyway, there are lots of common points with Bateman yes. That's obviously where Togashi ripped-off his character. But was Bateman annoying ? (because this is what I was replying to in the first place)
btw, we're comparing Tserriednich to Bateman because they have money and all, but Hisoka looks more like Bateman when we look at the aesthetic part. I mean, I could very well see Hisoka doing
but not Tserriednich.
No character, unless written with that intention, is out straight annoying. You find Hisoka's antics annoying, but others don't. What is annoying is hammering how much you don't like x character in any chance you have to do it. I don't find Kuroro compelling but I don't use every opportunity he appears to voice the issues I have with his character.
Who would be the most original?
None so far has been particularly original we have two spoiled little bitches (Camila & Kacho), a sweet little princess (Fugetsu), and egomaniac princess (Tyson), and hedonist (Sale-Sale), a serial Killer (Tsetse) a military darwinist (Benjamin) a prodigal intelectual (Halkenburg).
Yes I was referring to that when I said "killing strong nen users".
But there is also the whole "I'm licking my lips and having a hard-on in the middle of a fight and stuff" that is supposed to make him look like someone original or eccentric but is just annoying crap. It just looks like some 12 year-old who just watched a Batman movie and now behaves like the Joker, or just the kind of stupid thing Charles Mason and his stupid followers would do.
See, so how you thing that Togashi should portrait sadism of a sadistic character? Specially in a shonen series.
This is really far-fetched. And I'm not even sure –-according to Hisoka testing everyone at the elections--- there was any hunter strong enough to deal with the RoyalGuards.
Also, whatever how you interpret his deeds and Hisoka's, there is clearly a difference in how they're portrayed and how you're reading too much into Netero being a good guy but also a Hisoka-like character.
Yeah, Hisoka analysis is not a good point since we saw what happened in the last fight. I by no means intend to say that Hisoka's action are justifiable, but we have another character the behaves in a similar fashion and don't get the same amount of hate. Does the fact that Netero was more by the books, less homicidal and stood to the mission of eliminating the ants makes him less guilt of being a battle maniac? This is a fictional work, we don't need to like characters because they work by a set of principals that that resemble ours. The essence is the same,they like to fight, but the methods they use to achieve this is relevant to the likability of them? Sure if it was real life, but it's not.
And having Pariston around to have fun isn't immoral. I still don't get why this guy is evil. "hunters disappeared since he was elected" "he'll unleash the ants on humans or whatnot just for the lulz" yeah just words and rumors and everything. Pariston hasn't done anything yet.
Pariston does what he does, mess with every one live for no good justification other than to make people hate, which is not a good justification for anything. We haven't seen he do anything yet, but we have in universe see multiple characters saying he is not someone that should be left unchecked.
