Seriously Good

These are for Inconsistently Admirable heroes who are more on the serious side of seriousness. Like Game Changers, they are played for seriousness and lack humorous aspects. Their polar opposites would be Laughably Evil.

Unlike their evil counterpart, Game Changers, Seriously Good heroes do not darken the story and keep it lighthearted, regardless of origin.

Given that heroes who are Inconsistently Admirable tend be anti-heroes whose corrupting factors are often portrayed far more seriously and can often be far less enjoyable for the audience, it's far more common for characters who are Inconsistently Admirable to also be seriously good.

Batman, John Marston, Jotaro Kujo, and Arthur Morgan are prime examples of Seriously Good heroes.

It is rare for a Love Exalted to qualify as Seriously Good due to how it's meant for characters who are as pleasant as possible. Seriously Goods don't always go this route given how they are too serious to be that enjoyable.

• Heroes who are designed to be adored, yet come across as serious (e.g. Merida, SMG4, Mustache Girl, The Knight, Kazooie and Katsuki Bakugo).
• Heroes who use a serious nature to hide their more playful persona (e.g. Mr. Snake and Neru Mikamo).
• Heroes who initially start off as serious but slowly become more lighthearted and enjoyable (e.g. Revali, Knuckles the Echidna and Wonder Red).
• Heroes who are serious when fighting against enemies while keep a light-hearted attitude towards family and friends (e.g. L Lawliet and Asura).
• Heroes who are serious in one role and are more admirable in the other (e.g. Batman and Nico di Angelo).
• Heroes from video games, which, depending on the player's choices, can be either attractive or serious (e.g. Valery Sablin).
• Sometimes, non-Heroes can qualify if they don't do too many serious or detestable crimes and have the qualities of one (e.g King Shark, Sky-Byte).

NOTE: This category differs from Game Changers because they are mostly serious which is meant to be darken the mood or story and are never taken lightly while Seriously Good may be genuinely seriously but still taken lightly.
