An Anti Hero is basically a good guy who is kinda bad, or does good things for bad reasons. Deadpool’s a classic example of an Anti Hero

      I think he has an automatic negative connotation just because of his many cops etc idolize him, but he’s a fantastic character. In the (Uhh I think) daredevil show and comic he knocked DD out, chained him up with a revolver, and said shoot me or I will assassinate this bad guy. Like “you wanna do the ‘killing is wrong’ shtick? Welcome to my trolley problem, bitch.”

        Which is ironic, considering what he really stands for.

        Netflix’s version portrayed by Jon Bernthal is trully amazing
