7. Neo - The Matrix
The Hero: The stoic "chosen one" who operates under the alias "Neo" was unplugged from the fake world of "The Matrix" and brought into the real world, where he realised it was his destiny to save mankind and sleep with Carrie Ann Moss. Neo's ass-kicking skillset is unparalleled, and he's a good-hearted (albeit quiet) guy who operates with the best intentions. He can also fly, which is about as badass as you can get, really.
Jail? You Can't Be Serious? Aside from being the saviour of humanity, Neo is also a cold-blooded murderer who seems to take great pleasure in the ritual slaughter of innocent people. Remember in the first movie when he went to rescue Morpheus? Morpheus, as we know, is being held by "Agents" - computer program baddie things - at the top of a skyscraper. To get Morpheus back, Neo and his girl crush Trinity arm themselves to the teeth with a whole bunch of guns and head into the building. When they get inside, there's a security checkpoint, and a bunch of armed police officers scan them - doing their jobs, mind - for metallic objects.
Beep beep! We, of course, know that this beeping means our heroes have guns concealed beneath their long, dated leather jackets, and Neo and Trinity have presumably got some plan together to knock these guys unconscious or something. Nope: Neo and Trinity murder all of them in an extremely showy sequence that celebrates violence and awesome non-diegetic music choices. Like, fifteen people die. But these guys are all genuine human beings (not computer programs or anything) with histories and personalities and children and everything - and every one of 'em was brutally done away with. I mean, I know time was a factor in this situation, and Neo had to get to Morpheus before the Agent's broke his mind, but this just seems a little unruly on the chosen one's part. I mean, would we forgive Harry Potter for something like this?
