So as I watch movies and shows, I get to thinking about people's alignments in those shows. I'm a nerd. So are you. So, I'd like us to find video clips to show an example of a certain alignment. I'll start:
Lawful Good:

Her demeanour at times make her seem TN or CN, but when you watch the movie, you start seeing she may actually be trying for a redeeming spy-ish Neutral Good or Chaotic Good.
The Black Widow:
Granted, this is the movie version. The comics represent a very different person, depending on the continuity!
Sincerely,
Arya

Matoi Ryuko is as CG as they come. Also a great show!
Coincidentally, I think Satsuki would be Chaotic Neutral which is funny since in the show she's in a position of lawful authority for the most part.

Like I said: completely dependent on which version.

She's pretty much the same in most continuities except for Ultimates, but then again, the 1610 lost all of my respect after Ultimatum.

She seems NG on the edge of TN in the Winter Soldier when she finally confided in the Captain. *Shrug.*
We can talk about it elsewhere if it is that important.

Lawful Good: Robocop
I'd argue that Robocop is more Lawful Neutral with Good tendencies, based on what I remember. Granted, that wasn't much...
Lawful Good: Superman - Strict personal code, but always does the right thing.
Lawful Neutral: Malcom Reynolds - Strict personal code, but willing to do what "needs" doing.
Lawful Evil: The Operative - Strict personal code, but willing to do anything to further his goal.
Chaotic Evil: Joker - Does this need an explanation?

Good call on Robocop. I can see that. LN on Captain Mal? That's hard to say. Is lawful for personal code or for the an objective law? Hard to say.

RoboCop could be LN in the series, but I could see either LG or LN in the new movie. I think those on the line are always hard to pinpoint.
Superman, no argument. Even and especially in the new movie.

Mal definitely isn't LN. LN works within the established societal system, Mal was much more in the TN to CG orbit.
Remember, L vs C is also about society/group vs individual.

I actually enjoyed this movie a great deal even though many people I know thought it was crap, and I agree. Dredd is the ultimate LN - especially in the movie where he fights the merc judges. Totally LN the whole way through.

Tyrion Lannister - I am going to -stubbornly- state he is Lawful Neutral, tipping toward evil. Could be argued as either later. (WARNING: Spoiler alert of Season IV for Game of Thrones!)
Tywin Lannister - Lawful Evil.
Jaime Lannister - Lawful Neutral. Or True Neutral leaning heavily Lawful, or the former leaning True Neutral. Could have been a decent chap if he did not let the wrong woman into his life. <.< Speaking of which...
Cersei Lannister - Neutral Evil.
Tywin Lannister - Lawful Evil.
Jaime Lannister - Lawful Neutral. Or True Neutral leaning heavily Lawful, or the former leaning True Neutral. Could have been a decent chap if he did not let the wrong woman into his life. <.< Speaking of which...
Cersei Lannister - Neutral Evil.
