Alignment Game

[dagesh]

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:

[Arya]

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.

[Arya]

Like I said: completely dependent on which version.

[Not Batman]

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

[Arya]

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.

[Arya]

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.

[Fire Wraith]

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.

You want lawful neutral? Here's lawful neutral:
Dredd.

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.

Yesss!  Thank you Edge! :-D

That's awesome Edge.
