“ | And I'm not helping Mario just to save a bunch of worlds. I'm only doing it so I can rule someday. So don't get all cuddly with me, Mario! | „ |
~ Paper Bowser admits he will help Paper Mario defeat Count Bleck, but only because he knows if Count Bleck destroys the multiverse, there will be nothing to rule over. |
“ | For the entertainment! I came here because I love seeing wasteful souls struggle to accomplish something meaningful, and fail spectacularly. Like you are doing now! Good job! | „ |
~ Alastor explaining to Vaggie why he's still in the Hotel. |
Inconsistently Admirable heroes who do good for selfish or questionable reasons. However, despite their somewhat petty nature, they are heroes very dedicated to saving the day and constantly pass the Goodness Zone. This category is not to be confused with Non-Heroes, as Anti-Heroes are heroic for bad intentions, while Non-Heroes are not actually heroic.
Note: just because a hero is antipathethic, succumbs to corruption, has many corrupting factors (such as Jerkiness, Arrogance, Egotism, being On & Off, Xenophobia, Perversion, Extremism, etc.) doesn't automatically mean they are, were or will be an anti-hero if they still commit heroic actions out of genuinely altruistic intent or the narrative doesn't potray them as antiheroic (e.g. Caesar, Revali, SpongeBob SquarePants, Rainbow Dash, Mike Wazowski, Jon Snow, Cortana , Meggy Spletzer, Star-Lord, Yor Forger, Thomas the Tank Engine, Arthur Pendragon, Cogsworth, Tatasia Offentus, Cloud Strife, and Old Man McGucket).
