Line #56 PlayingWith/EverybodyHatesHades


1	'''Basic Trope''': A dark/death god of a mythology is portrayed as evil [[DarkIsNotEvil even though they are not]].
2	* '''Straight''': Tuoni, the Finnish god of the Underworld is a portrayed as a GodOfEvil.
3	* '''Exaggerated''':
4	** Tuoni is portrayed as an EldritchAbomination and blamed for every single atrocity mankind has been through, like the Holocaust for example.
5	** The work features [[FantasyKitchenSink multiple gods of death]], and ''all'' of them are portrayed as evil, regardless of their morality in the original myths.
6	* '''Downplayed''':
7	** Tuoni was nice in the original mythos, but ended up getting portrayed as a {{jerkass}}.
8	** Tuoni was originally an AntiVillain[=/=]AntiHero; but is portrayed as a DastardlyWhiplash and/or a GenericDoomsdayVillain instead.
9	** Tuoni serves as the antagonist, but is only a PunchClockVillain without malice.
10	** Tuoni winds up [[DudeWheresMyRespect scorned by the other gods]] more but is more or less treated the same by mortals except for acknowledgement that he is scorned by the others.
11	** Tuoni is made out to be an ObliviouslyEvil AlmightyIdiot.
12	* '''Justified''':
13	** People are superficial and think gods of things they fear and are disgusted upon must be evil and disgusting.
14	** In a universe where a god's personality is defined by belief, the change in attitudes toward death have also altered Tuoni.
15	* '''Inverted''':
16	** EverybodyLovesZeus
17	** SatanIsGood
18	** A [[LoveGoddess goddess of love]] is pretty much an [[LoveMakesYouEvil evil bitch]].
19	** DontFearTheReaper
20	** Tuoni actually values and loves mortals, treating them well in the afterlife and offering death as some kind of luxurious resting. [[GodIsEvil His opposite]], [[TheCreator the Creator goddess]], is an [[MotherOfAThousandYoung everspawning]] EldritchAbomination who wants [[DespotismJustifiesTheMeans all life to obey her]], and [[WhoWantsToLiveForever will make sure they can't escape]].
21	** Tuoni was originally a cruel being [[ApocalypseMaiden destined to end the universe permanently]]. In this adaptation he [[TheWoobie is cursed to bring the end of everything despite his love for everything in it]] and when all else is dead [[HeroicSacrifice destroy the universe to create a new one]].
22	* '''Subverted''':
23	** Tuoni is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold and thought his actions were for a greater good.
24	** In a setting using CrossoverCosmology, Tuoni was usurped by Satan, who [[WrittenByTheWinners puts his abilities as The Prince of Lies to good use to smear Tuoni]]. Once Tuoni is released, he goes back to doing what he used to be doing.
25	** Tuoni causes lots of death because [[WellIntentionedExtremist those he directly kills go to paradise]].
26	** Tuoni is portrayed as a cruel and sinister figure... Until he actually shows up, at which point he's shown to be a HeroWithBadPublicity.
27	* '''Double Subverted''':
28	** Tuoni lied and everyone's souls are now in Hell.
29	** The time spent being Satan's torture bitch snapped Tuoni's mind, and now he's a psychopath.
30	* '''Parodied''':
31	** Tuoni possessed Joel Schumacher into making ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'' so people commited mass suicide.
32	** The dwarf planet [[UsefulNotes/DwarfPlanets Pluto]] is an evil GeniusLoci because it's named after the Roman god of the underworld.
33	** Tuoni attends a sort of "Evil Gods Anonymous" meeting, where he meets with Hades, Satan, Pluto, etc.
34	* '''Zig Zagged''': Tuoni can't decide if he is on the side of the good guys or if he wants to take over the world.
35	** Tuoni is AboveGoodAndEvil and an integral part of the universe. He is incapable of regret or malice but provides [[MercyKill a quick death to those who cooperate which may save them from pain]].
36	* '''Averted''': No good death/dark deities become evil.
37	* '''Enforced''':
38	** "We don't care so much about mythological accuracy as making quick cash, so to keep with the popular opinion we made him evil! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!"
39	** "[[CaptainObvious People don't want to die]]. So death must be evil."
40	** "Hades is another name for Hell, right? The guy's GOT to be evil in the myths, then!"
41	* '''Lampshaded''': "I suppose mythology is wrong then."
42	* '''Invoked''':
43	** The local GodOfEvil claims he is a death god.
44	** [[ZeroApprovalGambit Tuoni purposefully cultivates a bad reputation to keep the suicide rate down]].
45	* '''Exploited''': Another deity, this one [[GodOfEvil actually]] [[GodIsEvil evil]], gets away with all kinds of things by blaming it on Tuoni.
46	* '''Defied''': The local head of the FantasyPantheon makes sure death is under the supervision of a decent person.
47	* '''Discussed''': "Wouldn't it be nice if Hades was a good guy for a change?"
48	* '''Conversed''': "Not Anubis the evil furry again!"
49	* '''Implied''': Nobody ever has anything nice to say about Tuoni.
50	* '''Deconstructed''':
51	** Tuoni, being a real entity in this universe, feels offended and refuses to aid mankind when a real GodOfEvil or EldritchAbomination attacks.
52	** Tuoni being an evil god means that the afterlife is going to be a CrapsackWorld [[FateWorseThanDeath that no-one can escape]]. CosmicHorrorStory AndIMustScream anyone?
53	* '''Reconstructed''':
54	** Turns out he was a jerk anyway so it really didn't matter.
55	** He understands that his job would lead to a lot of hate being directed by him. However, he also understands the necessities of his position being a necessary evil, so he just takes the abuse like a StoicWoobie.
56	** Tuoni is actually an example of GodOfEvil in-universe who just happens to also rule the underworld, therefore those who vilify him in the first place actually has a point.
57	* '''Played For Laughs''': In a new age religious movement [[Literature/HarryPotter Severus Snape]] becomes the local god of death; while it turns out he is good, RonTheDeathEater ensues and he becomes the Satan analogue.
58	* '''Played For Drama''': Tuoni tries to be a ReasonableAuthorityFigure, but since everybody thinks he's evil, they're always plenty willing to dupe, ignore, or otherwise screw him over, [[PayEvilUntoEvil forcing him to respond in kind]]. [[CycleOfHurting Which only makes people more willing to go behind his back]]. Eventually, the stress of this causes him to snap, and he decides to just kill everyone so he can get everyone to the afterlife and just be '''''done''''' with the whole thing.
59	----
60	[[EveryBodyHatesHades Everybody Hates Tuoni]]. It's just a sad fact at this point.
