Is Hannibal an option?

I suppose he is, since you root for him to get away even though he's doing very bad things. That show is awesome too.

I did not see it until I was in college and caught it on AMC one night randomly.... godamn its a good movie..... still makes me flip over if I see it on TV when I am clicking around the channels.

One of the few movies that I enjoy re-watching. The others being:

All the original Star Wars.
Independence Day.
Shawshank Redemption.

Some of the good ones I was thinking of have already been said (Walter White, Deadpool,Leon the Professional,Frank Underwood)

One of my favorites from the video game world is Haytham Kenway(even though you don't play as him that much). I liked him a lot more than I ever liked Connor.

The Boondock Saints are another one from the movies I like

Oh...and *insert any Game of Thrones character you like here*

Been watching The Shield, and Vic Mackey is awesome. He's moved into my favorites with Dexter Morgan and Walter White. Honestly never thought this show would be this good. For video games, there's only one, Kratos. So who are your favorite anti-heroes?
I finished The Shield last year and holy **** that was one of my favorite series of all time. My god.

Don't even put Vic Mackey in the same paragraph as Dexter. That show blew ass lol.

No but seriously, ENJOY the ride with The Shield-- so fucking awesome. The ending will literally leave you so mindfucked, I kid you not I fell off of my chair when I saw it and called my buddy at like midnight haha.

Were any of them really anti-heroes? They were bucking against their captors and trying to be free men.

I would argue that Gannicus was an anti-hero since he didn't conform to any rules no matter if it was when he was slave or free. He also fucked his best friend's wife and very nearly betrayed Spartacus. He always seemed all about himself and no one else until the end.

My favorite show. Crixus was more of an anti-hero than Gannicus. He gave the go ahead to slaughter all of those enslaved Romans at Sinuessa. I feel like Gannicus has this quiet good to him.

I just personally can't see any of them as anti-heroes when they were just trying to be free men. It's not the same as Tony Soprano, Walter White, Dexter, Vic, Leon, Hannibal, etc. at least IMO.
