ALIGNMENT CHART! Gary Oldman

I just realized: do we need an alignment chart for Eddie Deezen?

When I saw the title, the first thing I thought was that chaotic evil has to be Drexel Spivey from True Romance. “He must have thought it was white boy day. It ain’t white boy day, is it?”

No Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg? Sir, I am offended!

Although, I don’t think you could sum up his character with a little pithy quote… And he may end up replacing Dracula or Leon, so that’s no good…

There are character actors and there are chameleons. Both are valuable, but the former are far more common today than the latter, and Gary Oldman is probably the single greatest chameleon working in film alive.

I think Sid was basically Neutral Incompetent.

Ugh. I hate that, whenever you make one of these actor alignment charts, I can’t even friggin identify like six of the respective movies/series/whathaveyou.

Since Zorg’s plan is explicitly to create chaos for its own sake, wouldn’t that make him Chaotic Neutral?
Quote: “I know this music. Let’s change the beat.”

For the Leon quote I would have chosen “EVVVVVVERYYYYOOONNNNEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!”

What, no mention of Oldman’s role in Quest for Canmelot? *waits to be punched in the gut*

When I saw the title, the first thing I thought was that chaotic evil has to be Drexel Spivey from True Romance. “He must have thought it was white boy day. It ain’t white boy day, is it?”

Wait. Isn’t chaotic evil Stansfield from Leon: The Professional? I admit it’s been a long time since I’ve seen True Romance, but that looks exactly like Stansfield.

And am I the only person that has no idea who true neutral is? (And neutral good and chaotic neutral, actually…)

@Alex: The problem with the mouseover feature of the charts is that, like the footnotes, the mouseover text vanishes before I can read all the text, and can only be recovered by refreshing the page.

I guess Gordon got dinged from Lawful for being willing to countenance an extralegal vigilante?

And yeah, Zorg was the gimme choice for CE. Dropped the ball there.

Also, as long as we’re talking about ACs, I’m re-entering the request for a Firefly/Serenity AC.

@The Unstoppable Gravy Express:
Not really. There’s two kinds of chaos in fiction: the “cool rebel that makes life fun while order keeps it going” chaos, and the “evil when you don’t want to say evil because it’s cliche” chaos. Fifth Element is more or less in the latter category.
What a lot of players don’t get is that Chaotic Neutral doesn’t mean “Chaotic Evil, but the paladin doesn’t get a bonus when he smites me for being a git,” nor does it mean “CHEEZMUNKY XD”. Chaotic Neutral generally means that you do what you want, and what you want isn’t really good or bad – self-centered, maybe, but rarely directly harmful.
Sorry, this kind of reminds me of the days on the old Order of the Stick forums where you had a vocal minority who insisted that Belkar, who regularly advocated genocide, slavery, and torture as solutions to problems, was really CN because he was “just amoral.”

Huh. Mouseover text. Who knew?

@Salmo: Doesn’t work, unfortunately – that’s why I have to refresh the page. And even then, I was only able to read four of the entries before the mouseover text vanished again.

I’d be inclined to switch CN and NE. Sid was more messed up than bad. But that’s me.

Very nice touch using a “Leon” quote that namedrops Beethoven.

Someone explain to me why Smiley is LG. Isn’t a spy, almost by definition, someone who’s willing to do bad things and break the law for the greater good of the country? That is, NG.
