Mine is light and L from death note . They were potrayed as some kinda of super genius characters but in reality it felt like every other characters shared one braincell and light and L were average .

EDIT : I have come to the conclusion that so may of lemmings didn’t get what my post was about . I don’t care if a charecter is an asshole or isn’t very good in other aspects of their life.

    Rick from Rick and Morty. Though I feel like the show bounces back and forth from making it clear that he’s an idiot who causes all of his own problems and worshipping him as a god.

      He’s intelligent and an asshole but that doesn’t make him less intelligent

        He is proficient with magic technology.

        He’s an idiot when it comes to literally everything else. He does frequently overcome his idiocy in other areas by using his magic technology to dominate the situation but it backfires just as often as not. He thinks he’s better than everyone else, and in one powerful way he is, so he uses that to compensate.

        Anything to do with people or reality not filtered through an alcoholic depression lens it’s very clear he doesn’t know how to handle it, and that includes basic self care.

        The problem is that a lot of idiot savant tech-heads see themselves in him but miss the constant intentional criticism of his character.
