An "Anti-Hero" is a character in literature, film, or other storytelling mediums who lacks traditional heroic qualities, such as morality, courage, or idealism. Instead of being purely good, anti-heroes often display flaws, make questionable decisions, and operate in morally gray areas. They can be relatable and complex, appealing to audiences who appreciate their imperfections and struggles.
Common examples of anti-heroes include characters like Walter White from the TV series Breaking Bad and Deadpool from Marvel comics. These characters often challenge the conventional notions of heroism, prompting viewers to question what it truly means to be a hero in a flawed world.
