MGTOW characters in Fiction: Games, Books, Movies

[FullMetalExoParticipant 2383]

Post up any characters you know, that could be considered as a prime example of a mgtow in a fiction.

I was looking at Paarthurnax from Skyrim and it ‘clicked’ me that he is a definitive mgtow monk you could say.

– Alone, Wise, Meditating, Ancient Dragon. There seems to be no female dragons in the game anyway. (oh so sexist Bethesda, shame shaaaame !/sarcasm).

This Dragon went his Own Way by choosing mortal/human side to help and meditated for hundreds of years to change himself and keep his destructive instincts in check.

Any character you know ?

The Punisher, mainly because his family is dead, though. He’s strong, resourceful, intelligent, and avoids women as a distraction. Solitary but not some mangina pinning for women.

Hercules in the traditional myth because he’s doing his own damn thing despite the almighty bitch’s manipulation. Although that kind of seems to come and go at certain points.

This 2 Im not sure about:
Max Payne, went self destructive way but only after having his family killed by mafia. Then also losing Mona Sax, so he went back in to depression.

Damn, Im not sure.
Also, Batman/Bruce Wayne, as he dedicated his life to his own goals of battling crime. (I don’t know comics very much, if he can be considered mgtow style 100%).

Batman married in certain incarnations and has had a son that he left with the mother who then taught said child to hate his father. While he tries (sort of) to avoid love he still is often consumed by it.

I’m reading catcher in the rye. The main character Holden seems to be trying to find himself. But i’m not sure because in the end he’s super depressed. I don’t know…

In books published by living authors, most of the MGTOWs are the main characters of thriller novels. “Jack Reacher” comes instantly to mind if only because he is the avatar of one of the other men-bers of these forums.

Throw a dart at a list of action movies made before 1965, and it’ll be hard to miss one with a MGTOW hero. For example, the entire male cast of Bridge on the River Kwai or The Guns of Navarone.

Not these days. Even the new Mad Max remake is said to be feminized. Mad Max himself taking orders from Charlize Theron? Gimme a break!

Comics / graphic novels? The new Thor is a girl. Nuff said.

Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?

From what I’ve heard, that comic was almost instantly cancelled. Someone put it as “Thor saves the world, female Thor saves 15% on shoes.”

Thor is dead, I had to write the story over to my satisfaction; he was murdered by his evil feminist sister Thorett, she wanted his position and killed him to get it!

only saw 3/4 of a show, but Archer seemed like MGTOW to me.  could be wrong.

Most of heroes of classic adventure novels were MGTOW. Take Captain Nemo for example
Lots of western movies’ heroes were MGTOW too
I’d say heroes of the vast majority of literature written before twentieth century were MGTOW

Don’t get me started. I can literally rant ad nauseam about this. Personally, I like to think Daredevil is a MGTOW, but he has been married in canon. I always liked to view him as a swinging bachelor since I read mostly Lee’s stuff on him when I first started reading comics, before Frank Miller made him Marvel’s Batman in a sense.

Bond is pretty much always my favorite MGTOW, though.

Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes character.

Also Henry David Thoreau’s “Walden” is a MGTOW work.

I thought Jack Reacher was met a NAWALT there, and he is into blue pills after that, and can’t get over it when she died.

 

How about Chris Redfield from Resident Evil video game?

 

Also, L. Lawliet and Light (Raito) Yagami from Death Note manga and anime.

Yes to Sherlock Holmes! Certainly was. He knew his stuff.

I just thought of a video game one – Sonic The Hedgehog. Does what he wants, doesn’t stress, it doesn’t matter what anything thinks AND is forever running away from Amy Rose who wants to marry him.

Solomon Kane and Jonah Hex are good examples of MGTOW characters!

I became a MGTOW because this was the only logical solution for a man survive in a world replete of gynocentrism and biased against men!
