7 Idiot Heroes Who Created Their Own Villains Through Sheer Stupidity: Commenter Edition

My sims made me their worst enemy when they didn’t do what I told them. Now they live in the painting room

A courier not checking inside the package they are delivering is most definitely not ''questionable behavior''. In fact, questionable behavior would be opening that package! I mean what, do you want every Amazon delivery driver to check your packages to make sure they're not delivering nuclear codes?

The Ulysses thing always annoyed me. Yeah, the courier did deliver the package, that doesn't make any of the events in the Divide their fault. The courier had no reason to believe they would have been carrying something dangerous, and it's kind of frowned upon to look at other people's mail. Hell, they most likely wouldn't have known what it was even if they did look. Ulysses is just targeting the courier because there's no one else left TO target. Ulysses wants there to be someone to punish, instead of accepting that a terrible thing happened and that everyone involved in said terrible thing was killed. But I suppose there's no therapists left in a post-apocalypse.

Mike fell in the thames and only got dysentry? Lucky bugger.

My favorite note in the Day of the Tentacle manual that you're not likely to run across in these manual-free days: "Our Historical Accuracy Policy: We don’t have one. This game is not intended to teach the history of our country nor its possible future. Please don’t get into an argument at school or at a party and say, 'Well, LucasArts says that John Hancock wrote his name big because it impressed girls.' We’re both going to look silly."

Honestly I'm just glad somebody remembered the Guardians of the Galaxy game.

Worth noting: Fallout New Vegas includes a dialogue option where the Courier can simply tell Ulysses that he's got the wrong person and the Courier was not involved in the incident that wrecked the Divide. Ulysses will insist otherwise, but there's nothing in the DLC to prove this one way or the other. The player never comes across any proof of any kind that the Courier had visited the Divide previously. And Ulysses' claims are suspect because he is, well, bat-shit insane. So, if you want, you can quite easily headcanon that the whole mission is based on a mistake on Ulysses' part and that the Courier is completely innocent.

Now we need a video about villains who sealed their own doom/created their own heroes. I already have an example and it's called hi fi rush

Yeah, Jack had already put his daughter into the machine by the time the pre-sequel happened.

Okay, let's remember that before Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel he was already pumping deadly amounts of Eridium into his daughter. He was already a vilian.

Even if you take Ulysses' claims at face value, Courier Six is only an "idiot who created their own villain" if you want the mailman snooping through your mail.

For crying out loud. Jack was an irredeemable villain the moment he strapped Angel into her chair. That happened looooong before the events of the Pre-Sequel.

The deadpan sidenote of "not how that works" got me for some reason lol

As an American, I am proud of Andy for knowing the true history of Benjamin Franklin. 16:13 🙂

If memory serves, Mike died on his first day at OutsideXbox after Andy lured him into the office by saying he'd found his cat. This chicken wing lore changes everything...

In the game Assassin's Creed Syndicate, one of the people that Jacob and Evie Frye recruit into the Brotherhood of Assassins is a troubled young man whose mother died because of the game's main villain Starrick Crawford and was subsequently sent to a madhouse.Eventually this young man would with the help of the training Jacob and Evie gave him would allow him to become one of history's most infamous serial killers Jack the Ripper.

Anyone seen my birthday cake? I left it over there by Totally Didn’t Eat Your Birthday Cake Jane fifteen minutes ago and haven’t seen it since

In Sketch's defense, even though he literally created his villain, it wasn't out of stupidity like the video theme says. He literally drew a comic book. He had no idea (and shouldn't have) that the villain would come to life and try to murder him. Same idea on Toonstruck (awesome point and click game with Christopher Lloyd as a cartoon artist that gets trapped in his own toon world)

"His greatest achievement though? Renaming Pizza Butt to Pizza Bat. Now there's a businessman." "At Domino's Pizza, we-" The timing is hilarious.

Comix zone doesn’t count. Sketch definitely drew the bad guy, but the lightning made him real. Unless there is a history of drawings coming to life in thunderstorms, he would have no expectation of any of that happening.
