Abstract
The film Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge, directed by Ethan Spaulding, presents numerous antihero elements. An antihero differs from a traditional hero, often doing the right thing in morally ambiguous or wrong ways. This movie focuses on Scorpion, the main character, who displays various antiheroic behaviors through his actions. The study aims to analyze the antihero traits and roles as defined by Jessica Morrel, whose work outlines number strategies for creating complex characters like antiheroes. By using a descriptive qualitative method, the research delves into character analysis, exploring the context, background, and interactions between characters. The study reveals that Scorpion embodies seven out of eleven antihero traits, with his most dominant characteristic being his tendency to show little or no remorse for bad behavior. This reflects his dark past, which fuels his desire for revenge and leads him to view murder as both justified and necessary. Regarding antihero roles, the research identifies five out of twelve roles, with the "dark hero" being the most prominent. This role is consistently depicted through the film, evident in Scorpion's actions and dialogue. The analysis concludes that Scorpions portrayal as a dark hero is central to his character. This research aims to illustrate what an antihero looks like, highlighting the importance of antiheroes in popular media and exploring their characterization and roles in literary works. These findings contribute to a broader understanding of antiheroes, particularly in terms of their traits and roles as defined by Morrel. Keywords: Antihero, Characterization, Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion Revenge, Antihero characterization, roles of antihero.
