Since we have moved away from the discussion of Gotchard and riders in general in this topic, I’ll ask you something else. Now in my part of the world the series “The Boy’s Word. Blood on the Asphalt” is very popular (perhaps too popular?). It tells the story of teenage gangs in Kazan in 1989. And there is the character Denis (perhaps he can be considered one of the antagonists, although the structure of the series is such that the viewer chooses his favorites. In fact, all the characters are very dark), the head of the local branch of the Komsomol, decides to eliminate the threat of gangs. With his Komsomol members, he protects people from robberies and beatings, strengthens the ranks, recruiting those expelled from gangs, and pits criminals against each other. In fact, his motives, his actions, and even their results are good. Even the pitting of gangs against each other occurs without deception and simply accelerates the inevitable. But Denis and his team are shown as disgustingly as possible in character, behavior, and appearance.
Here's an example. The girlfriend of one of the main characters, Marat, was offend by guys from another gang, a showdown began, but the conflict was hushed up. After this, Marat was supposed to break up with his girlfriend, but he refused. He was kicked out of the gang and severely beaten. He lay there and actually died because no one helped him. But Denis helped. Afterwards, it was the Komsomol members who found the girl’s offender, allowed Marat to beat him, but did not allow him to kill him, instead handing him over to the police. Well, after everything that happened, Marat joined them. And everything would be fine, but this is interspersed with Komsomol members drinking, orgies, detailed scenes in the toilet and lies about and without. Moreover, everything is shown not cool or brutal, like those of the same bandits, but rather as disgusting as possible. So the whole story looks not like Marat’s salvation from a criminal path, but like a fall even lower.
It's clear why this is done. First of all, there are no unsullied heroes in these shows. Secondly: the author needs to promote a certain narrative. In general, I wanted to find out if there is a name for such “correct, but vile,” characters, and where they are located in this heroic-villainous spectrum.
Well, I’ll drop the theme song of the series because it’s cool:
