Thing is regular Dante and Vergil are cool because their cheesy/edginess is played up, but it's like DmC Dante wasn't in on that joke

zuko but worse
Damn did you want to burn out the other eye?
Mostly. But not in this case. Carol is cool, even if Monica is better.
Carol can't even see cool. The LT Marvels are ahead of her in coolness

Hmmmm
Another thread on here actually made me think of a personal pick
I don't get it.
Personally he was one of the least interesting/cool of his archetype in the franchise.
Chronicle Asher exists, so he objectively can't be the worst in the franchise
How cringe is this? Especially with the content creator's forced giggling over it?

Duke Nukem was always like Bubsy-level "forced cool"
Duke Nukem Forever Funny Montage!

That doesn't make Carol uncool, just makes the the others more cool.
Wait, he says "Bust it"? I thought he said "busted". Neither makes sense.
I will always be confused by the distaste for Master Chief. I feel like people tie their perceptions of the Halo fandom and the FPS genre in general to him.
Chief's got great voice-acting, a good heart, some funny moments, a backstory that adds some tragedy without being overbearing, and even some significant character development in the 343i games. He's hardly the best character ever, but there are plenty of famous video game characters with far less to them who receive less disdain.
I have a diferent feeling on this character, at first it seemed that he would be your edgy "im so much better than all of you" type, but, he is actually just a kid really deep family issues, some which i relate. He is actually very nice to everyone and treats everyone fairly. Bakugo is the one i don't like, his antics can make up for some humorous moments here and there, but, outside that he is very annoying.zuko but worse
I consider Knull to be the Marvel Universe's equivalent of the Borg Queen. Lame, super-edgy design. Completely unnecessary character that actually cheapens the mythos and threat of the alien menace they're associated with.
And yet somebody in their respective creative teams is super invested in giving them a major push until we apparantly all appreciate how super cool they are.
Oh I like Todoroki well enough, I'm just teasing OP
Weirdly enough, I was an early Todoroki defender since I enjoyed his stuff in the sports fest immensely
But like the rest of mha, he kinda peaked early and fell by the wayside as the series went on
He's still cool but his first big moment really made me think he was gonna be cooler than he is
When has she played a cool character? She's always weird or robotic.
But, I'm going to say Spike from Buffy/Angel. Sorry, Spike, you can't be cool and get clowned on every appearance.
LOL
You left one out
Totally not trying to sell her as cool and badass. Nope. Never.
Im glad he only lasted one event.

Its one of the few times ive basically skipped a Marvel event, In fact since ive been a comic reader this is the first time ive not bought a single physical copy of an event.
Utter trash.
Retcon this shit Marvel, Retcon it ASAP no one liked this character, no one likes the changes it brought to the universe.
#Justice for Gorr
A lot of anime characters, really. A lot of superheroes too.
Spider Gwen for me. Cool outfit but meh otherwise.

Actually, no one on the team liked the fedora, and it was removed from the dev build at some point, so they had no idea how it ended up in the final game.
And Dante and Vergil were definitely always intended to be cool from the get go.
Rackham is just a salty DmC fan, tho.

The fact that his name means "fuck" (as in "to fuck") in several Nordic languages just hammers home how unintentionally dorky he is.

Kratos is a badass who kills petty, cruel and vindictive gods. Definitely cool. Nu-Kratos is the lame one lol.
Your famous popular cool character is uncool.
And im such an intellectual for thinking so compared to the masses and it shows how enlightened i am

And can you imagine people want a Ghost Spider game before Arana, Silk hell id rather have a full on Venom game before SpiderGwen.
She has a cool costume and thats about it, yeah her role in SpiderVersa(movie) was great but the character doesnt deserve the push shes been getting.
^Same thing could be said about Miles Morales (fight me!)
Master Chief and Spider Gwen are good ones. The outfit is carrying the latter.
Agree with young sasuke to an extent. He was a huge ass douche but lots of cool people are douches. But he was more douche than cool. Kind of emo. Adult sasuke is cool.

Nah, I'm with you on that one. bakugo is a piece of shit in the show and it really bothers me how no one ever calls him out on it. The obnoxious yelling all the time too? 🚮
I genuinely dont think theres anything interesting or cool about him. Was a pos ep 1, im currently watching season 5 and he's still a pos, just slightly less? Wow, such a cool character with great development 😒
What are examples of media where they try to convince that characters are cool and all but they actually aren't? I have two examples:
Kratos from God of War:
The games try to portray him as this cool ultra macho badass but he's nothing but a selfish self destructive vengeful and grossly misogynistic asshole
No2 is Dante from the DMC Reboot:
The game tries to push us that he's cool but the thing he's a tryhard edgelord who is acting like what some 12 year old believes with his constant swearing and just being a douche.
OP already took the two best examples damn
