You know you start one or two (possibly more) apocalypses centered around your severely neglected son piloting a giant proto-being super robot that traumatizes him nearly every time he gets into it all in the hopes of turning your wife-clone daughter who you spend creepy amounts of alone time with into a conduit for contacting your dead wife who’s soul may or may not have been absorbed into said robot thereby recreating her into a death goddess who absorbs the souls of everyone on earth suddenly everybody thinks your a bad father.

its probably the worst out of the group, was quite indifferent and had no problem of throwing away thier lives to be with YUI/ and causing extinction to bring instrumentality.
pjwestin@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Honestly, Vader’s probably the best one up there, even before his face turn at the end of Jedi. When he finds out his son is alive, the first thing he does is seek him out and try to get him to join the family business. Sure, they have a tense conversation which doesn’t end…great, but at least he’s trying to reach out. Compare that to Worf, who seems to genuinely hate his kid and spends the better part of two shows pawning him off on other people, and it’s not even close.

Who’s the middle left one?
criss_cross@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It’s from Full Metal Alchemist. His name is Shou Tucker.
Doesn’t hit as well without the full episode context:
pfjarschel@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Trust me, if you really don’t know, it’s best to keep not knowing. The worst of the bunch, no doubt.
marcos@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Well, Chronos is there too…
So, let’s make it a tie.
Noite_Etion@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Its from Full Metal Alchemist. Dude fuses his daughter with her pet dog… I’ll just stop there.
BlackVenom@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
You said too much.
Play?
shawn1122@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
A man so caught up in scientific inquiry and progress that he cares not for the people in his life, who he’s obligated to protect. He fuses his daughter with his dog, proclaiming his great achievement while the new chimera begs for death to be put out of its misery.
The show explores subverting rules of the universe, life and death to a degree.
TheGiantKorean@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
The worst one up there. Yes, worse than the dude who eats his kid.
Nester@feddit.uk 2 weeks ago
He’s a bad bad man, also known as The Sewing-Life Alchemist.
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
shal tucker from full metal alchemist, at least the first series. he used his daughter to create a chimaera with thier doggo, in attempt to perform human transmuation because he was afraid of losing funding from the government, he was able to show him that they can talk so he kept his funding. i think the chimaera was in constant agony, so one of the other antagonist scar mercy killed the chimaera.

I’m not sure I’d call Ozai a good dad.
Like, at least Vader had a redemption arc. Fuck, Zuko had a redemption arc. Not Ozai. Fuck that guy.

His brother, Iroh, was a better dad…and he got his son killed!
You know, I didn’t think about this and don’t remember if it’s been talked about, but was Iroh a good dad? He was a fierce general (or something) and a great warrior, until his son died, after which he changed. He’s an amazing uncle, of course, but that’s after his son’s death.
JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
I got the sense that he was a great dad…he was just in deep with the fire nation propaganda. Lu Ten’s death snapped him out of it so much he abandoned his place in succession, yielding it to his younger brother. Not having an heir of his own kinda made
I got the impression that he took Zuko under his wing because he wanted to get a second shot, knowing that losing his son to the war wasn’t worth it. Zuko, before the exile, was the rightful heir to the throne. I think his spiritual awakening made him realize that de-brainwashing Zuko was the only way to restore order
SpacetimeMachine@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I don’t think there is enough info for us to really know. I feel like either him being an amazing father or him being a terrible one that changed from the despair of losing his son are both as likely.

My father taught me to make sure I would never have to rely on him.

My father gave me a name. Then he walked away.

It just kinda struck me that simply adding the word “how” right after “me” completely changes the quality of the dad

Cronus gets a bad rap. A prophecy said that one of his children was going to rise up against him. This is self defense.
zarathustrad@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
“By mandate of the Titan Succession Protocol, Subject ‘Zeus’ has been flagged for immediate neutralization. Probability of overthrow: 99.8%. Remediation strategy: Biological reclamation. Note: Emotional variables are irrelevant to outcome efficiency. Proceed with ingestion. File closure expected upon digestion.”
“You think you can hide a prophecy in the dark, Cronus? Swallowing them whole doesn’t make the future disappear; it just digests the evidence. The precogs don’t lie. They saw you holding the stone instead of the boy. You didn’t stop the overthrow; you just guaranteed the one who got away would come back hungry. You’re not a god, you’re just another pre-criminal waiting for the halo to drop.” ~John Spartan

I honestly don’t think even Vader and Tywin deserve association with Shou Tucker and Cronos

bottom right? i was thinking the tsar that killed his son at first but no i remember his face was very shocked
dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 2 weeks ago
That is “Saturn devouring his children” I believe by Goya.
QuantumSparkles@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
God I love that painting. The history is horrifying but the emotion captured in his eyes is just masterful

Wrufieotnak@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
The honest answer is: we don’t know.
The common name and interpretation is as the others already mentioned.
But it is part of the so called black paintings of Goya. He created them at the end of his life when he was depressed, maybe insane and utterly lost all hope in humanity. He painted them inside a house on the walls and never showed them to anyone or talked about them. They were only found after his death, so we literally have no information about them.
But they are all pretty haunting and have dark themes. And this one got memetic usage and was also often referenced and is therefore the best known one of the 14.

He’s not sure why he’s here
Doom@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
He is the definition of absentee father sending his kid off to be raised by his human grandparents and rarely if ever speaking of him. And when his kid is understandably upset about it Worf gets pissy at his son for having emotions about it.
