john walker

When someone lies about thier identity and they are a creep. Actually they probably have a crush on your best friend and didn't want her to find out they were snap chatting you so they lied about thier name.
" That ugly guy I was talking to turned out to be a John Walker."

John Walker Effect

First coined by Twitter user @buggy_con, the John Walker Effect is when in any form of media the writers unintentionally make the antagonist characters

-Far more entertaining
-Far more believable as characters
-More sympathetic

-More heroic than the stale and downright evil protagonists/heroes

Typically you will see the writers project all the things they view as evil onto these characters in order to make a straw man to pit against their oh so perfect protagonists. However, this unintentionally causes these characters to be loved by the audience, for they are the only ones who

-Call out the protagonists' bullshit for what it is
-Have actual ideas and motivations that aren't selfish

These characters often have to be amped up to cartoonish levels of evil in order to try and make the audience root against them.
Rorschach from Watchmen, Tyler Durden from Fight Club, and Colonel Quaritch from Avatar are all examples of villains that suffer from the John Walker Effect.

John Walker Effect

Coined by Twitter user @buggy_con, the John Walker Effect is when in any form of media, the writers unintentionally make the antagonist characters

-Far more entertaining
-Far more believable as characters
-More sympathetic

-More heroic than the stale and downright evil protagonists/heroes

Typically you will see the writers project all the attributes they view as evil onto these characters in order to make a straw man to pit against their oh so perfect heroes. However, this unintentionally causes these characters to be beloved by the audience (or at least a section of the audience who believe that the ideas they embody are good), for they are the only ones who

-Call out the protagonists' bullshit for what it is
-Have actual ideas and motivations that aren't selfish
-In some way or other represent the ideal of the ideology they embody (since a writer cannot tear down an idea without first building it up)

Oftentimes these characters have to be amped up to cartoonish levels of evil in order to try and make the audience root against them, which usually does not end up working and in some cases just makes the audience love them more.

John Walters

The United States "Drug Czar" since December 7, 2001. He makes giant douche bags look cool. Known for the most idiotic quotes in the history of the world part one. Avid marijuana hater, calls marijuana growers, "violent criminal terrorists." Fat white man with gray hair and generally looks like a republican's wet dream. The kind of guy who would remind the teacher that she forgot to give a quiz today.
John Walters: "These aren't Cheech and Chong plants"
John Walters:"People who farm now are not doing this for laughs, despite the fact Hollywood still thinks that. They're doing it to make a lot of money."
John Walters(assumed):"Reefer Madness is the most accurate and up to date film on the effects and aftermath of the consumption of marijuana and the smoking of marijuana cigarettes, reefers."
