Top Ten Protagonist Characters that are Bad Role Models for Anyone

Just because a character is the protagonist doesn't mean said character is a good role model. In fact, some characters are bad influences enough to make a sane person find an ANTAGONIST as a better role model!
The Top Ten
1 Beatrix Kiddo (Kill Bill) Beatrix Kiddo, codename Black Mamba, is the protagonist of the two-part movie Kill Bill directed by Quentin Tarantino. She is portrayed by Uma Thurman.

I like her. And the people she killed had it coming. They betrayed her four years earlier, beat her to a bloody pulp, and her boss put a bullet in her head. I'd want revenge too.

2 Carl Johnson (Grand Theft Auto)
3 Voltron (Voltron)
4 Draculaura (Monster High)

She's teaches audiences to treat their soul mate like trash like she does with Wolfie.

5 Peter Griffin (Family Guy) Peter Griffin is the main protagonist and titular character of the American animated sitcom Family Guy.

He sucked because all he did were making stupid toilet jokes with no humor or amusement.

I'm clearly NOT surprised to see Peter Stupid Griffin on this list.

This is why I hate Peter Griffin.

6 Ren Hoëk (Ren & Stimpy Show)

He is such an evil piece of s***. How was this amusing to anyone back in the 90s?

7 Deadpool (Marvel) Deadpool is a fictional antihero created by Marvel who appears in their comics. Deadpool's first appearance was in New Mutants #98 by Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza in February of 1991. His powers include self-healing and super strength. He is regarded as one of the funniest characters in comics due ...read more.
8 Stan Smith (American Dad!) Stanford Leonard "Stan" Smith is the main protagonist of the adult animated sitcom American Dad!. He is voiced by the series' co-creator and executive producer, Seth MacFarlane.

He is bigoted sadistic and violent. He did horrible things to his friend just make him believe in god. He treats his family like crap. He is worse than Peter Griffin

Francine is just as worse as Stan because she's also a very terrible role model.

Peter Griffin and Stan Smith are both worst.

9 Eric Cartman (South Park) Eric Theodore Cartman, often referred to just by his surname, is a main character, as well as a major antagonist and occasional antihero in the animated television series South Park, created by Matt Stone and Trey Parker, and voiced by Parker. He is one of four central characters in South Park, along with Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, and Kenny McCormick. Cartman first appeared, originally in prototypical... read more

Cartman has done some really bad and horrible things. He only thinks about himself and he is just a horrible person in general. He should definitely be number one (still my favorite South Park character though).

Cartman is a NEVER a role model to anyone. If Cartman is, then he's a very bad influence to hang around with.

He seriously needs to be number 1

10 Phil Matibag (The Nutshack)

How isn't he in the Top 5? He's mean-spirited to just about anybody!

The Contenders
11 Bella Swan (Twilight Saga)

Let me guess? She teaches audiences to cheat on their soul mate. Similar to Draculaura.

She has no life; no hobbies, no morals, not even self-respect.

Biggest setback in Feminism in like ever.

12 Alucard (Hellsing) Alucard is a fictional character and the protagonist and antihero of the Hellsing manga and anime series created by Kouta Hirano.
13 Sterling Archer (Archer) Sterling Malory Archer is a fictional character on the American adult animated sitcom Archer, which aired on the basic cable network FX from 2009 to 2017 and is currently broadcast on sister network FXX.
14 Preston Stormer (Hero Factory)

Hero Factory Heroes teaches people against every great villain fictional characters such as Darth Vader. They'll make you hate on Villain Characters *Cough* GoAnimate People. Just remember, just because The character's a villain, doesn't mean you have to hate it.

15 Chun Li (Street Fighter Series) Chun-Li is a character in Capcom's Street Fighter series. The first female fighter of any fighting game franchise, she made her first appearance in Street Fighter II: The World Warrior in 1991.
16 Bobobo (Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo)
17 Angelise Ikaruga Misurugi (Cross Ange: Rondo of Angel and Dragon)
18 Lelouch Lamperouge (Code Geass) Lelouch Lamperouge, whose real name is Lelouch vi Britannia, is the title character and protagonist of the Sunrise anime series Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion.
19 Tyler Durden (Fight Club) Tyler Durden is a character from the movie Fight Club. He doesn't actually exist as he is The Narrator's split personality. He was created by the perfect storm of the Narrator's insomnia-induced insanity and his frustration with a hollow life of wage-slavery and consumerism. He is the manifestation ...read more.
20 Jem (Jem & the Holograms)
21 Light Yagami (Death Note) Light Yagami is a fictional character and the protagonist of the manga series Death Note, created by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata.

He's not really a protagonist though, he might be the main character, but definitely not the good guy

22 Zim (Invader Zim) Zim is the titular protagonist and anti-hero of the American animated series Invader Zim, created by Jhonen Vasquez for Nickelodeon.
23 Bart Simpson (The Simpsons) Bartholomew JoJo "Bart" Simpson is the oldest child, and the only son, in the 1987 show The Simpsons. He was created by Matt Groening. His hobbies are pranking people including Lisa Simpson and Homer Simpson.
24 Peter Pan (Peter Pan) Peter Pan is a character created by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie. A free spirited and mischievous young boy who can fly and never grows up, Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood having adventures on the mystical island of Neverland as the leader of the Lost Boys, interacting with fairies, pirates, mermaids, Native Americans, and occasionally ordinary children from the world outside Neverland.

Being a protagonist, he's not supposed to enjoy death or pain, but he enjoys seeing Hook in life-threatening situations and cut off his hand for no reason except his own entertainment. It's understandable that Hook wants revenge so badly. He's very rude, barely letting others finish a sentence before talking. When the mermaids try to drown Wendy he laughs and when Wendy tries to fight back he stops her and acts as if she's the bad guy. And in contrast to the animated Disney adaption, in the book he's a more sinister character. He kidnaps the kids and drags Wendy out the window, and he kills the lost boys if they disobey him or accidentally grow up. Not exactly a great role model.

Teaching children to NOT wanting to grow up at all, growing up is part of life. Also teaches kids to sneak out of their windows rooms at night.

25 Joe Higashi (The King of Fighters)
