manliness
it doesn't just have one solid
definition but it's one of those things
where everybody knows it when they see
it movies video games TV shows and
comics have so many examples to look to
but as long as they're strong brave and
have their priorities straight we
consider that manly enough so I'm
nervous paper screwattack's
top 10 manliest characters number 10 the
first guy on our list isn't just here
because of his incredible muscles or
shin hair mounds and mounds of shin hair
sangeetha's manly because every bear he
wrestles every scrub his suplexes is for
the kids
being a man's not about being tough 24/7
you look at this 7-foot 400-pound
Russian monster and have to respect the
fact that he knows when to be gentle and
when to freaking eat a guy's face and I
can assure you that nobody else on this
list has flex their muscles so hard it
stopped a sword against their chest and
shattered and while most of them haven't
anyway number nine with the new god of
war game coming out right as we're
making this video of course Kratos had
to be on this list in fact he's the
entire inspiration for this top 10 if
you've even so much as seen god of war
before you get why this dude who beats
up the most over-the-top enemies
deserves to be here but despite all of
his insane God killing feats Kratos is
low on the list because he spent most of
his life as a crazed angry murder man a
real man controls his emotions rather
than letting his emotions control him
which looks like it's the case in the
latest ps4 game we can't really count
whatever happens in that game because
again it comes out literally two days
after this top 10 what we really love
the idea of Kratos being a teacher
instead of just a screaming death
machine good on you creatives
burned eight part of being manly is
being brave but there's a fine line
between courage and stupidity is it
still bitter as it brave to go smashing
through brick walls even though your
body is made of glass
hey the kool-aid man hasn't shattered to
pieces so far so I'm gonna go ahead and
say that E's manly
plus the Cooley man is so generous he
willingly sacrifice as part of himself
to keep kids hydrated putting on this
above yourself like that that is a man
right there
number seven I've got to say my favorite
character in Full Metal Alchemist was
easily Alex Armstrong I mean we didn't
even begin to this guy he looks like a
buff animate Charlie Brown - everybody
crapping on him all the time
but look at him though when you pull the
football away from him at the last
second no you would not Alex Armstrong
speaks exclusively through his burly
mustache greets others by flexing in
sparkles literally sparkles with raw
masculinity I'm pretty sure I just grew
an extra chest hair from witnessing his
manliness his sister Olivier Armstrong
completely trashes him every time they
fight so olivia is actually ma'am here a
woman on a manliest characters list
remembered for this video we're just
defining manly as being brave strong or
having your priorities straight you
don't need a penis to be those things
number six
speaking of which how about Alexandra's
are you Nova better known as Zarya over
watches pink haired beefcake grew up
during the robot uprising called the
Omni crisis and from that decided to get
rough and therefore manly like Zangief
not only Azaria a Russian powerhouse but
also like Zangief she wrestles bears and
also also like Zangief her motivation is
to protect her loved ones Oh inputs are
you above deep is that she sacrificed
all Peyman glory just and go home and
save her village in their time of need
that's real dedication right there plus
she's got a scar over her eye and only
Naomi people have scars over their eyes
unless they're named Yong Chun number
five okay okay let's dial things back
for a second and look at a man's man you
can find all sorts of characters in the
Pawnee city parks and recreation
departments including its beloved
director for all of Ron freaking
Swanson's paranoia and love of
cholesterol he's actually one of the
most accomplished people you could ever
find in Pawnee Indiana his love of
nature talent for woodworking and suave
saxophone playing alter ego are just the
tip of the moustache if you can believe
his own words and I'd choose to he went
to prom at age 12 got his first job at
9:00 tried for the first time at seven
after being hit by a school bus and was
named a woman of the year
number four Lara Croft is way more than
just the female Indiana Jones she may
have that same suave debonair but unlike
other famous treasure hunters she comes
with crazy acrobatics and even more
insane adventures she dives off 250 foot
cliffs she blows up helicopters by
throwing axes at them she kills
dinosaurs and in the most recent games
she's got ten times the perseverance of
most people remember that time she
impaled herself on some rebar and then
went through an entire an adventure oh
my gosh that was a good game and now I
want to play that whole reboot series
again if anybody else is hyped for shed
or the tomb Raider's I am number three
you want to talk about a dude with a
strong sense of justice
you want a guy who brings that very
justice with his fists and his smile
that you want the legendary Almighty
pretty much nothing in my hero academia
gets me more hyped than seeing the
world's greatest superhero evaporate a
monster with his fists or punch a bad
guys so hard it changes the weather all
bite is one of the greatest physical
threats out there but it was hidden
but this overwhelming positivity yeah
his can-do attitude can be a little
obnoxious but it's also it motivated him
to beat the shockwave absorbing nomu
with shockwaves God Jane can we get our
system works to make am i here I can't
Amy a fighting game already
oh I remain tall Mike so fast number two
video games have second - sanshiro real
life has Chuck Norris anime has Kenshiro
after all civilization is wiped out by
nuclear war
no man with the seven scars made a name
for himself by punching everyone and
everything so hard that they explode it
is dill I don't on alerts but they dated
be exploding but the spike can share his
absurd masculinity he's one of if not
the earliest hyper masculine character
to have lots of emotional moments in
fact the height of his abilities can
only be reached when Kenshiro suffers
extreme tragedy
Kenshiro showed us that it's not only
okay to cry every now and then but doing
so is actually better and if you still
need convincing I just googled manly
tears and kimchi Rose literally the
first result it's number one anime has
Kenshiro comic books have Superman to
say that the Man of Steel has been
inspirational is a major understatement
everybody knows him for his incredible
feats of strength but sometimes people
get a little too focused on what makes
him super instead of what makes him a
man how easy would it be for Clark Kent
to become the most unstoppable bad guy
ever look could anybody really do about
it if he just looked at the world and
said scrum Superman doesn't just have
powers he has the best powers in the
he always chooses to use them for the
betterment of those weaker than him so
that's like everyone sometimes it
doesn't even take superpowers for him to
be helpful just look at the time he
talked to this suicidal woman and I dare
you not to tear up for 80 years
Superman has represented the very best
that mankind can beat and that right
there is the manliest character ever for
my secret number 11 everybody knows that
it's manly to have small biceps but you
know what's better or swole biceps the
Pokemon MA chant doesn't just have
double the guns to work with it can
punch 500 times a second and hit so hard
that it sends its victims past the
horizon that is so manly
