doesn’t stop them from being awesome
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
animated anti-heroes and I’m going to
need you to put them way up inside your
butthole Morty I put before we begin we
publish new videos every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’ll be looking
at animated characters that sit in a
morally gray area compared to the
regular heroes and villains of their
series we’re limiting our choices to
western animation only so no anime to be
found here as we’ve already got a list
for that grown-ups stuff you wouldn’t
understand number 10 Damian Wayne son of
Batman here is your legacy Damian here
is your inheritance like father like son
they’re maybe not quite many have taken
up the mantle of the Boy Wonder and it’s
fair to say that each has acted as a son
to Bruce Wayne well this one actually is
smaller than I imagined very efficient
film Damian comes from quite the
parentage his mother’s own father is the
world’s greatest criminal and his father
is of course the world’s greatest
detective and my father’s son too
I’m robbing this incarnation of Robin
was born to be a living weapon and he
certainly lives up to his heritage
although he originally has no qualms
with killing spending time with his Dark
Knight dad brings about an internal
conflict for Damian and he must consider
which path he should choose you’ve never
felt vengeful every day you have to keep
your Center Damian number nine axe cop
axe cop time for axe cop to go on a
night mission he’s a cop who wields an
axe that’s pretty much all you need to
know based on the wonderfully surreal
ideas of a five-year-old boy the
narrative of this show follows the
titular axe cop and his team of
companions including flute cop and
sockarang has big battles such threats
of dinosaurs space zombies and the
infamous hell chicken time is summon the
hell chicken zombie up on that you might
be wondering how this pinnacle of
righteousness could possibly be
considered an antihero well there was
that time he went to prison and chopped
off the heads of the other inmates he’s
also quite the ladies man it seems to
the displeasure of his wonderful wife
Abraham Lincoln so while he is a police
officer he’s got his downsides that’s
for sure ex-cop will you help me only if
you tell me how you think I’d look with
a mohawk and a handlebar mustache number
8 Stan Pines gravity falls Martha we’ve
all got family members who’s turned a
little sour with age but chances are
none of them is quite like Mabel and
dipper –zz grunkle Stan he’s sour cheap
and has an interdimensional portal in
his basement what the heck was that for
this was an insanely risky move
restarting the portal he spends the
majority of his life as a con man
selling poorly made products it’s not
until his great nephew when great knees
get involved in his life and discover
his dirty secret that we start to see
the regretful man inside I’m so sorry I
didn’t believe you that’s okay kid I
probably wouldn’t have believed me
either yeah he’s a cranky old bastard
but you still love him for it
as I was something after all number
seven dr. Thadeus rusty venture The
Venture Brothers I’m just imagining what
the super science workers union is going
to say when they get a load of this cabs
they’ve been on strike for like two
years he’s a scientist with such an
amazing intellect that it could shake
the very foundations of the modern world
if he bothered to apply himself with a
tendency to wallow in his own self-pity
since he’s been dwarfed in life by his
genius father rusty venture is
definitely not the happiest of doctors
and his exhaustive awareness of all
things supervillain makes it almost seem
like he’s playing the part of one even
with such a self-absorbed personality
he’s shown to care deeply for his son no
matter how crazy their lives get Oh
so here’s mass where my top-secret
experimental hover boots have gotten to
do since said creepiness means they have
an archenemy and his oddly deep-voiced
girlfriend constantly gunning for them
you can’t just send my mob it’s out to
arch your former enemy we have to give
the man props yes
I’m time now I was just enjoying the
super freedom of space travel number six
Zuko Avatar The Last Airbender I know my
own destiny uncle now this is how you do
a character arc starting off is nothing
more than a banished Prince
seeking to reclaim his honor Zuko hunted
the avatar all over the world and caused
the hero heaps of trouble however his
perception slowly began to change as he
saw how poisonous his homeland and pride
really were no I’m tired of running this
time I think the zoo
oh sure he may have betrayed both the
good guys and the bad guys on multiple
occasions but what started off as a
wounded child filled with rage
eventually became a champion for the
downtrodden by the end of the series we
are all hailing to the king there we
made fire Lord
Oh hail fire Lord Zuko
[Music]
number five bender bending Rodriguez
Futurama we all know that deep down
bender truly values the friendships he’s
built with Fry and the rest of the
Planet Express crew but that still
doesn’t stop him from being a rude
violent alcoholic and self-centered
robot that once traded his own son for
an undead army when no one was paying
him enough attention there you go and if
you don’t agree with his actions you can
just bite his shiny metal asses bender
so eloquently puts it the human race
survive by starting battle era again eat
down we all know that bender Rodriguez
is a great guy and that’s why he’s an
antihero and not a straight-up villain
Oh unless you take his last beer then
you’re going down hard hey that’s my
last beer you bastard I’ll kill you all
number four
Shrek the Shrek franchise what kind of
Knight are you one of a kind you all
know the classic tale charming hero
saves the damsel in distress and slays
the monster so everyone can live happily
ever after well say hello to the ogre
who turned the fairy tales on their head
while originally content with spending
his days swimming in mud and scaring the
hell out of villagers Trek is forced
into the role of hero when the charming
prince who is something of a jerk and
lifts him for a doomed adventure to
retrieve his bride-to-be in the end
shrek falls in love with the damsel who
is by no means in distress and together
they teach everyone that it’s important
not to judge a book by it’s cover or in
this case not to judge an ogre by what’s
on the outside I love you
really really number three sterling
Archer Archer um
sterling Archer you you may remember me
from the strip club remember how James
Bond could be a bit of an ass well
imagine that ramped up to 11 and you
might be able to come close to how much
of an ego this American secret agent has
Bloody Mary full of vodka blessed are
you among cocktails his day-to-day needs
pretty much extend to booze babes and
bullets sometimes all at once instead of
doing my job I was here half drunk and
having amazing sex while he can be the
king of all jerks at times he still
takes his world-saving job very
seriously
besides ever since he became a father
he’s shown that he’s capable of loyalty
and love not to mention he will beat the
crap out of anyone who threatens his
family imagine as I literally beat you
to death hang on yeah literally
number two wreck-it Ralph wreck-it Ralph
will never be good and that’s not bad
just cuz he’s a villain doesn’t mean
he’s all bad right as the antagonist of
his respective videogame Ralph is
loathed by the rest of the characters
despite the fact that he’s an okay guy I
don’t want to be the bad guy anymore in
a desperate bid to earn everyone’s favor
he leaves his post and embarks on an
epic adventure across the gaming
multiverse in order to win the one thing
that will earn him their respect a medal
oh I am gonna win a medal the shiniest
medal this place has ever seen along the
way Ralph learns that while some may be
born a villain the choice to become a
better person is always in the hands of
the individual even if all those hands
are good for is wrecking stuff get me
out of this cupcake
I’ll get my medal and I’ll be out of
your way before we unveil our number one
pick here are some honorable mentions
you bring you within there and you
didn’t do
anything number one Rick Sanchez Rick
and Morty keep shooting Morty because no
idea what prison is like here the brief
glimpses where we get to see this genius
scientist expressing concern for other
life-forms alien or human as well as
compassion for his own grandson are
something to treasure because the rest
of the time you could happily label Rick
as a sociopath what happened back there
when you asked the smartest people in
the universe Jerry oh yeah you can they
blew up admittedly selfish and his mad
scientific pursuits he’s not above using
Morty in any way possible to ensure his
experiments are a success what have you
done to me Morty also should you ever
somehow end up betraying or insulting
this alcoholic pessimist we suggest you
run because he has quite the impressive
body count under his belt as well I
guess I did the butler haha do you agree
