Good points about being a Joker goon: Non-boring job, it's okay to wear make-up and bright colors if you're a guy, always positions open. Bad points about being a Joker goon: Death, torture, getting knocked out or hung from gargoyles by Batman on a nightly basis, becoming a test subject every time your boss makes minor changes to his signature Smilex gas.

If I ever end up as an evil grunt, I'll just wear a huge name tag and introduce myself to everyone I meet. Once I have a name, I'm an established character and my chances of survival will skyrocket. I may also try to be comically ineffectual and quirky. But depending on my employer, that might just get me killed sooner, so I'll have to decide on that when the time comes.
Nice list, but I think it was missing *wise mentor to a brash young hero*I mean, they can't even enjoy their retirement benefits.
This is all hench/grunt/minion/mook-work! Whatever you are the good guys, bad guys, or something in-between, your life expectancy is brutally short. You're only there to do the following:
1. Make the Hero/Villein look even more heroic/vile, as he/she is cutting through the ranks like a lawnmower to grass (bonus "bad-ass" points to the bad guys who tortures and kills good grunts).
2. Highlight the level of danger in an area or with a creature, by dying in-place of an equally inept "named" character (bonus "bad-ass" points to the bad guys who order their own men to "test" an obvious death-trap).
The only variation to this are the likeable henchmen, who would ether die a tragic death, or rise above the main characters (see Henchmen #21 and #24, from Venture Brothers). So yeah, it sucks to be them regardless!
But it works and i enjoyed the Shit out of this List. Mainly thanks to those lil strikethrough zingers. now put a smile on your jawbone, come on u can do it :D
Worse employer....Jack Nicholson's Joker, Heath Ledger's Joker or Caeser Romero's Joker?
Jack Nicholson's Joker would kill you out of hand.Heath Ledger's Joker would kill you horrifically just to make a point.Caeser Romero's Joker would make you do things so insane they should never work and yet come close to pulling jobs off. You'd get beat up by bat or robin and then you'd probably go to jail, but that's neo-cartoon jail.I don't suppose Mark Hamill's joker is available - I did that in DCUO and it was okay.
Imperial Navy Officer is missing here. Screw up once and your force choked by Vader. Though I guess the rapid advancement opportunities, more than make up for it.
I actually thought based on Kaiju films, Citizen of Japan should have been on the list.
To be fair, some of the BPRD employees who "have unique origins and special abilities that make them non-expendable (and hard to kill anyway)" die too.
I can think of at least two major characters that are currently... uhm... deader than normal. (You have to make the distinction, because being dead is normal for Krauss.) One of those characters died after quitting the BPRD, and will presumably come back to life eventually, but the other appears to be staying dead. Or non-functional. Or whatever.
Another major character may have just recently died, or been turned into a different supernatural creature. Again, a former BPRD employee. But maybe he counts twice, because the "former" part came from being turned into a supernatural creature in the first place.
One has been comatose for a while.
Hnonourable mention for the City Guard/Watch/Patrol: the more civilised variety of evil grunt. And unlike grunts, at least they're performing a valuable public service! (Until the barbarian hero swings from a chandalier and cuts their heads off)
lol like this list for all these jobs on it have one thing in common mostly that the end result being high turn over and always an opening from the previous one dieing espically working for the joker.
really? thats what you went with from Doctor Who?
i think i woulda gone with U.N.I.T. Soldier. Unless you're Benton, Yates, or the Brig... you're ass is up for grabs.
in space.
How about being a henchman for The Monarch? That's got to be at least as high a mortality rate as the Red Shirts.
What about Shield Agent?
You have to deal with the Hulk, Super Villians, Hydra, AIM, and whatever other random threats are there that day, plus you work on a flying aircraft carrier that crashes every other day.
Subordinate in the Yeerk army also sucks, ESPECIALLY if you are serving under Visser 3. Its like dealing with the Joker...except that he eats you if you sneeze funny.
Also, if the Joker asks you for a gun, don't give him one for the love of god. Just start running.
Sure, he'll probably kill you with one of the other dozen guns / knives / grenades / gas bombs / acid-spitting-flowers he has on his person at any given time, but at least be sensible about it and get the hell out of there.
How about extra in fantasy anime? Seriously, I take Redshirt over poor villager in Inuyasha any day.
Not if you're a youkai living in Gensokyo. In that case, it sucks to be a regular human there.
Oh, please. X-Wing pilots have nothing on the poor bastards who fly TIE Figters, since TIE Fighters HAVE. NO. SHIELDS.
As anyone who's played as one in a sim game will tell you, X-Wings are cake compared to TIEs. TIE pilots probably spend ever mission quaking in terror that one stray laser blast will perforate them. No wonder they get beat in spite of outnumbering the Rebels 10:1....
Yeah. At least TIE Advanced had weak shields, and TIE Interceptor increased maneuverability. TIE Fighters are just sitting ducks. And to think the only reason they can be making them that way is that they are CHEAPER. They obviously think that building a new TIE Fighter and training another pilot is less expensive than implementing one. Fucking. Shield generator.
But there's still the fact that X-Wings are not the safest of place if you're anywhere around a huge capital ship. Of course, if you're attacking a capital ship, you'll probably be piloting one of those horrible B-Wing things. May the Force help you with that.
Yeah, but Tie-fighter pilots are probably clones. And, if you kill a thousand clones of the same batch, doesn't that count as just one?
They're not clones by the time the X-Wing games happen - probably half of the Rogues are former TIE pilots, after all.
Yeah, I think in the newer re-re-re-re-etc-releases of the movies he's digitally altered some of the Stormtroopers voices to that of whoever played Jango Fett. Per the canon novels though, you and Gallen_Dugall are correct. Conscripts not Clones by the Imperial Era. Although you'll still read about Clones popping up here and there in even some of the more recent novels.
Technically it was never said that they were clones in the original films and they do have different voices. At least as far back as the backstory insert for your character in the Tie Fighter sim they've been conscripts and it simply hasn't been addressed otherwise.
Dave Filoni talked about the subject in a recent ForceCasthttp://www.forcecast.net/story...Timestamp 47:45
Yea, rumour goes ol' George wanted to retcon them all to be clones after the Clone Wars came out but the stormtroopers having different voices, the officers and commandos (they of the big helmets in Episode IV) all looking different and so forth meant a 50/50 clone/human compromise.Fluff suggests most pilots are human as the Empire's literally fly by the seat of your pants ethos on flying is meant to encourage the pilots to be more innovative and daring and clones don't innovate well.
