20 Beloved Characters Who Would Be Nightmares IRL
We know that not every movie hero has to be a paragon of virtue and social adjustment. In fact, just about none of them are. Think about how boring it would be to watch someone who never makes a bad decision, forgets something important or even arrives to a function a fraction of a second late. Could you imagine if they were also a woman? People would be trying to figure out how to drive a burning pitchfork through the concept of a movie.
Sometimes, however, movies take the idea of a flawed protagonist a little too far. We’re not talking about a fallible human, susceptible to errors of logic and earthly temptations — some of these people wouldn’t last a day in the real world without getting fired, arrested or worse. That’s why user TheOfficialMemeLord asked r/AskReddit, “What fictional character is great in fiction but would function terribly in real life civilization?”
