John Wick, Deadpool, and Ash Williams from The Evil Dead
Movie heroes are great, and should be celebrated, and equally compelling are those characters who are outright villainous. Without the latter, there might well not be any conflict, and without conflict, the majority of stories would be uninteresting, if they even existed in the first place. But then sometimes, and for some genres, it can be more interesting to have a main character who rides the line between hero and villain.
9 Wade Wilson/Deadpool The 'Deadpool' movies Representing something new for the superhero genre, 2016’s Deadpool was the first proper time the titular character was introduced in film . Before adopting the name Deadpool, Wade Wilson was a Special Forces operative diagnosed with cancer who underwent a risky experiment that was supposed to cure him, but instead disfigured him and gave him rapid healing abilities.
7 Jef Costello 'Le Samouraï' Le Samouraï is a movie about a lone assassin placed in a particularly sticky situation, on the run from both criminals and the law after he pulls off a hit. That hitman is the calm, collected, and effortlessly cool Jef Costello , someone who’s certainly not a good person, at the end of the day, but has a surprisingly high number of redeeming qualities that make him easy to root for nonetheless.
Still, his name’s in all the titles, and he’s a great vessel through which to see the continually bonkers post-apocalyptic stories Miller creates play out. Max Rockatansky has an origin story of sorts in the first Mad Max, and then after that, he becomes a drifter who finds himself wrapped up in other people’s conflicts. He’s usually reluctant to help, and continually feels rebellious and self-centered in some ways, though he seems unable to keep preventing himself from caring about others.
