Like Father, Unlike Son	comment	Children sometimes share traits with their parents. Sometimes these traits are so pronounced that they are basically a Generation Xerox of their parent, probably thanks to it being In the Blood that they turn out like their parents. However, sometimes children have traits that completely contrast with those of their parents, sometimes so much so that they can be seen as a Foil to their parents. The contrast can be as simple as a clash of different personalities such as for example, a stoic parent with a Hot-Blooded child or a Wacky Parent, Serious Child dynamic. The contrast however can be more complex such as a contrast in powers, political views or even a sense of morality. The contrast may even make a parent and child a Shadow Archetype of one another. Sometimes the contrast may come about because the child doesn't want to follow in their parents' footsteps for whatever reason. Sometimes it may be the result of bad parenting, or it could be that the parent intentionally wanted their children to be as different from them as possible. Sometimes it may have come about simply because of the environment the child was raised in, regardless of the parent's involvement. Sometimes it's because the child takes after someone else, such as their other parent. Sometimes though there is just no explanation for the contrast between the child and parent other than that they are what they are, separate individuals. The contrast between the child and their parent may sometimes be seen negatively by either one or both, such as a child viewing their parent as amazingly embarrassing or the parent being ashamed of them. If the contrast between parent and child is too great, it may naturally lead to a case of Archnemesis Dad and Antagonistic Offspring. However sometimes, even with the conflicting traits, there may be no animosity between the two as they may genuinely care for one another regardless of how different they are. For Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas and there are evil parents who want good kids. A Super-Trope to Wacky Parent, Serious Child, Jock Dad, Nerd Son, Feminine Mother, Tomboyish Daughter, Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter, and The Ugly Guy's Hot Daughter. A Sub-Trope of Foil. A Generational Saga often has multiple iterations of this, commonly with a grandparent/grandchild pair who are more similar to each other than they are to the generation in between. The more dramatic and extreme the contrast between parent and child, the more likely the trope is being used to set up a Flash Back in which we see the parent in their youth or childhood, acting exactly the same as their child acts now. This can be to trigger a "Not So Different" Remark bonding moment, or it can trigger the parent doubling down on their refusal to accept their child's personality traits because they "know" it ended poorly when they tried it. Other ways in which the more extreme contrast can cause friction include the child seeking Stand-In Parents due to being embarrassed, or an enraged declaration of "You're Not My Father!" (Or "I Am Not My Father" if speaking to other people). See Sibling Yin-Yang when the contrast is between siblings and not between a parent and child. See Contrasting Sequel Main Character when the contrast is specifically between main characters but not necessarily ones that are related. See also Against the Grain, when someone defies their expected roles. Contrast Generation Xerox, and Like Father, Like Son.

Like Father, Unlike Son / int_11b7db91	comment	Adventure Time: Jake is a fun-loving adventurer who lives life without a care in the world. His son Kim Kil Whan is a no-nonsense businessman who takes matters very seriously to a point that he can come off as Jerkass even towards his own father. Kim Kil Whan however genuinely loves his father though, he just feels that Jake should be more responsible and get a job (though we're not sure what Kim's thoughts are on Jake being a hero.) Finn's father Martin is the exact opposite of his son in personality. Instead of being selfless and moral like his son, he is a criminal with truly sociopathic behavior and Lack of Empathy. His appearance is also different, dressed in red and bald, unlike his son, who is dressed in blue and has long hair. The episode "Min and Marty" does show a bit light on his character, showing Martin was nowhere near as bad as we see him now.

Like Father, Unlike Son / int_12e3da65	comment	Castlevania: Lords of Shadow: Gabriel Belmont is a dark haired Anti-Hero who set out on a journey to defeat the Lords of Shadow and bring his wife back from the dead only to be become as evil as the creatures he fought against. He willingly turned himself into the vampire overlord known as Dracula and later decided to make it his mission to get revenge on all those who used him as an Unwitting Pawn. Gabriel's son Trevor is a dark-haired hero who set out to avenge his mother whom he is told that Dracula supposedly killed. He unfortunately failed in his mission, however he was turned into the Long-Haired Pretty Boy vampire known as Alucard against his will in a desperate act by his father to save his life. As Alucard though, he decided to fight against evil rather than succumb to it like his father and other vampires. Trevor's son Simon is a noticeably more muscular Fiery Redhead Walking Shirtless Scene Barbarian Hero Raised By Wallachian Mountain Dwellers who set out to avenge his parents who were killed by Dracula's forces. He is considered a much more skilled warrior than his father and was the first human ever to successfully defeat Dracula.

Like Father, Unlike Son / int_1aacbbc9	comment	The Howe family in the Dragon Age series. Its patriarch in Dragon Age: Origins, Rendon Howe, is a morally bankrupt individual who betrays and slaughters the Cousland family to usurp their holdings, supports Teyrn Loghain's betrayal of the king, then kidnaps and tortures his opponents, cracks down on the Denerim Alienage elves, and even has the freaking Queen imprisoned. In short, while Loghain is a textbook morally ambiguous villain, Howe has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Come Dragon Age: Origins â€“ Awakening, we meet his two kids: the oldest son Nathaniel is a chivalrous and honorable individual who spent too little time with his father to recognize his wickedness and thus falsely idolizes him, while the oldest daughter Delilah recognized it long ago and cut all ties to her family, also helping Nathaniel to see the truth once they reunite after many years.

Like Father, Unlike Son / int_1cf10d97	comment	At first glance, Naruto's son, the eponymous protagonist of Boruto, is an exact copy of his father. However, as we get to learn more about his character, differences start to appear. First of all, Boruto has the complete opposite early childhood that Naruto had, living with two Doting Parents and a little sister. He's also a Brilliant, but Lazy Child Prodigy, very unlike how his hard-working Boisterous Weakling father was. And compared to how Naruto was at his age, Boruto is well-mannered and socially adjusted. He also resents that his dad is too busy with his job and can be mouthy to him (Naruto always respected Minato, no matter what) or the Hokage title nor he has any will to pursue his father's path. He also breaks the usual Master-Apprentice Chain by having Sasuke as his master and not someone on the Generation Xerox spectrum of Naruto's side. It's also telling that his hairstyle resembles Sasuke's (during his youth) rather than Naruto's.

Like Father, Unlike Son / int_2192aeb3	comment	Fire Emblem: In Fire Emblem Fates, the conflict between Saizo and his son Asugi comes from how the father is an extremely no-nonsense Fiery Redhead who loathes anything sweet and takes everything seriously, while the son is a mischievous Loveable Rogue in-training with a massive Sweet Tooth, and who is so bothered by this trope that he's terrified of potentially not being able to live up to his family legacy. The Blazing Blade's Hector is best known for his big stature, expertise at axe-fighting, and Brilliant, but Lazy and Hot-Blooded personality. His daughter Lilina from The Binding Blade is quite petite, a magical prodigy (despite Hector's possible wives being physical fighters), a hard worker, and is far closer to being a sweet All-Loving Hero. The Blazing Blade also has Canas, a shaman on a quest for knowledge who's quite kind and mild-mannered, if a bit lacking in social graces. His son Hugh, from The Binding Blade, is an anima mage (which his grandmother Niime hates him for), a mercenary, brash, and a tad violent. He's acutely aware of the contrast, to the point he initially dismisses the possibility of them even being related. It's implied that this awareness is partially why he acts the way he does. In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Duke Aegir is a corrupt and scheming Fat Bastard, while his son Ferdinand is honest, kindhearted, and rather handsome.

Yang is a family person, who supports and nurtures her sister Ruby Rose, looks out for her friends, and will face any danger if it's the right thing to do. Raven is a Missing Mom who saved Yang only once because of her Social Darwinist rules, lives the life of a bandit, adopts a Never My Fault attitude, and is desperately trying to hide the fact she's a Dirty Coward. These core differences allow Yang to obtain the Relic of Knowledge at the conclusion of the battle at Haven Academy even though she's physically weaker than Raven precisely because she's brave enough to fight the Big Bad and Raven isn't, a truth that causes the latter to regretfully flee.

Like Father, Unlike Son / int_3b88d68c	comment	The Montefeltros' stories seen throughout The Divine Comedy clearly contrast each other. Guido da Montefeltro is in the eighth circle of Hell: even though he died a monk in a monastery (usually viewed as a good death for a Christian), he never repented for his greatest sin, as receiving absolution before committing a sin kind of misses the absolutionâ€™s whole point. St. Francis came to meet his soul initially but had to admit Guido was damned, and a demon dragged Guido off to Hell. Meanwhile, Guidoâ€™s son Buonconte fell in a battle of a civil war (to put it mildly, not the best Christian way to go) but repented his sins as he lay wounded and died praying to the Mother of God. An angel and a demon argued for his soul too, but this time, as Buonconteâ€™s repentance, though expressed at the last moment, was genuine, the angel was victorious. Dante meets Buonconte among the saved in Ante-Purgatory.

Ashfall is a ruthless leader of his outlander pack who seeks to kill all other southhounds to both eliminate any perceived threats and to take their lands, while what little we see of his father is that he's a wise, contemplative member of the reclusive yet peaceful white-eyes who cut ties with Ashfall's mother after learning of the outlander's wicked way.

His older brothers, except for one, were molded into becoming ruthless and unfeeling men by their father, the King of the Southern Isles. Though Hans starts out not wanting to become like them, but as he becomes increasingly desperate in trying to control Arendelle in Queen Elsa's absence, he ends up becoming similar to his family (namely, becoming the king of Arendelle by attempting to assassinate Elsa and Anna), courtesy of their toxic influence.

Mustard was the Galar region champion in his prime (for 18 years) and is still a formidable trainer even in his current age. Honey, despite not being into Pokemon battles until Mustard suggested for her to try it out, turned out to be quite good at it herself and is also a capable Pokemon battler in her own right. Hyde, their son, is a Child Prodigy who specializes in inventing gadgets and devices instead of Pokemon battles. Given that Pokemon battles are given similar comparisons to real-life spectator sports here, this contrast also makes for an example of Jock Dad, Nerd Son as well. It's "daughter" instead of son in the Crown Tundra Downloadable Content, but the example fits otherwise. Peony goes to the Crown Tundra with his daughter Peonia in the hope of exploring and solving mysteries in the area, but Peonia is only interested in battling in the raid arena within the region instead, and, the moment she spots the playable protagonist, she asks you to join her father in the expeditions in her place (Peony later mentions that she's asked some other trainers to battle him so she could get away from him in the past). As Peony is more excitable and emotional than Peonia, this example also overlaps with Wacky Parent, Serious Child, too.

Mashiro's father is surprisingly supportive of Mashiro's career as a mangaka, thanks to experiencing Nobuhiro's dedication to his profession. The one thing Mashiro and his father have in common is their taste in manga.

Like Father, Unlike Son / int_6cb2d709	comment	Harry Potter downplays this a bit. While Harry definitely has some traits shared with his father James and is compared a lot to him at first (mainly because of their uncanny resemblance), there's a big difference between them in regard to their interactions as Hogwarts students. While Harry as a student is the type of guy who would stand up for the little guy, James when he was a student was a bit of an asshole, especially in regards to his treatment towards a young Snape (though Snape was, by common consent, hardly a defenceless victim). James' attitude in this matter in fact kinda makes him comparable to Draco Malfoy whom Harry is vehemently against, albeit with a spine and a heart of gold that Draco didn't possess. If anything, Harry takes much more after his mother. If Quidditch is added to the equation, Harry would be a Lovable Jock while his father James would be a Jerk Jock. Draco Malfoy invokes this with his son Scorpius. Draco was himself a Jerkass who gradually became disillusioned with the Pure-Blood Supremacy. As an adult, he completely abandoned the ideal, married a humble woman, and raised his son to become more tolerant. Scorpius wasn't allowed to spend much time with his paternal grandparents.

His mother Nanefua is a laid-back wise-cracker, while his daughters are fun-loving average teenage girls, Jenny is more The Slacker while Kiki is dutiful. Sour Cream is a mellow, laid-back, extremely nice guy. In other words, the exact opposite of Marty, Greg's old manager and Sour Cream's complete jerk of a biological father. Sadie and her mother Barb are both kind people, but while Sadie is gentle and a bit withdrawn, Barb is very overbearing toward Sadie and basically everyone else. That seems to be why Sadie acts the way she does. White Diamond , Blue Diamond, and Yellow Diamond are all tyrannical Evil Overlords. Pink Diamond who is The Baby of the Bunch of the Diamonds, is typically at her worst Innocently Insensitive and The High Queen of the Earth colony. Mayor Dewey is a neurotic politician obsessed with his public image. His son Buck is a Mellow Fellow with something of a disdain for convention. Greg Universe is a very emotionally-supportive Open-Minded Parent who raised Steven with the Crystal Gems in very unconventional ways (like informally homeschooling him) and was pretty disorganized for most of his life. Late in Steven Universe: Future, we see Greg's parents were very conservative Control Freaks, albeit good providers, who he cut ties with in adulthood. Much like Sadie and Pink Diamond, there's a heavy implication Greg was overcompensating for the way his parents treated him — which backfires when Steven himself rebels, telling his father that Greg was the one with the better childhood.

While Tom is a book-smart college student with dreams of becoming a writer and leaving his old life behind him. Likewise, William is a smart inquisitive entomologist, that spent his early years diligently studying insects, completely lost in the exploration of knowledge. His son Edmund however is a self-indulgent slouch with no drive for work or the pursuit of knowledge.

Denethor is The Strategist, scholarly, and has powers of foresight thanks to his strong Numenorean blood. His eldest son Boromir is a frontline warrior who is more akin to the Warrior Poets of Rohan and his clairvoyance is very limited. (While Denethor and Faramir have the same prophetic dream several times, Boromir has it only once.) Denethor's youngest son Faramir is similar to himself — however, the contrast makes Boromir his father's favorite.

Like Father, Unlike Son / int_8aa7c509	comment	Star vs. the Forces of Evil: Star Butterfly, the main character, is upbeat and energetic to the point of being almost hyper. Her parents are stodgy, deadpan, and display a tiny bit of strictness. Eventually we find out Star's father is boisterous and adventurous like she is when out of the public eye, so it's just her mother that Star contrasts with. We eventually see Moon Butterfly was more like Star when she was younger, but Moon was forced to grow up much faster when Toffee killed her mother, Comet Butterfly and thus became a queen much faster. Marco Diaz, despite his protestations to the contrary, is a very safe person, to the point he is almost doing it unconsciously. His parents, however, are free spirits who embrace new experiences even if they are dangerous. Marco is trying to change out of his safe nature (and going to increasingly reckless lengths to do so.) Solaria and Eclipsa Butterfly are a much more extreme contrast. Eclipsa is a Lady of Black Magic who fell in love with a monster and abandoned her kingdom to marry him. Her mother Solaria was Mina Loveberry's mentor, and a militant swordswoman who took Van Helsing Hate Crimes to genocidal levels. Their names and motifs are literally night and day.

Godzilla vs. Kong: Ren Serizawa. He may look and sound like his deceased father from the previous films at first glance but beyond that, about the only common trait they share is a genius-level intellect, and it becomes clear that Ren and his father could not be more different. IshirÅ� Serizawa was a naturalist with a deep and profound reverence for the Titans (especially Godzilla), respect for nature, and criticism of mankind's arrogance and destructive hubris, and he heroically gave his life reviving Godzilla. Ren is supporting Apex Cybernetics' Muggle Power agenda to dominate, enslave and kill the Titans (who are forces of nature) using technological means, including Apex's obscenely Too Dumb to Live use of King Ghidorah's still-telepathic alien skull as the damned brain for a Mecha they've designed to be the World's Strongest Man (in fact, the novelization suggests it was probably Ren's idea to use Ghidorah's remains in such a way in the first place). And the novelization shows Ren believes Humanity Is Superior and humanity has The Right of a Superior Species to dominate the Titans, and that he despises Godzilla as the focus of his Parental Neglect resentment towards his father. In stark contrast to his father's death, Ren was forcibly killed by Ghidorah's skull and met a completely forgettable and almost humiliating demise. Madison Russell also has this in the film's novelization. She and her father Mark Russell differ in that Madison has no interest in being normal following her early upbringing with her mother in a Limited Social Circle at Monarch and her experiences in the previous film which turned her into a Shell-Shocked Veteran. Mark on the other hand has implicitly rejoined Monarch out of a sense of duty and would be all too happy to never have to deal with Titans again if it could be helped, and unfortunately he's projecting his own expectations of what would be an ideal life onto Madison which is straining their relationship.

George's youngest son Marty is a cool but hot-headed kid who stands up to bullies especially if they call him chicken, although the "original" version of his eldest son Dave appears to be closer to George personality-wise. Marty's own future son in Back to the Future Part II is also a contrast to himself. Whereas Marty stands up for himself and has some smarts in him, his future son is a pushover and appears to be a bit of a dumbass.

Keeping up this appearance is a source of joy for him as well. Meanwhile, Luz is a kindhearted individual who looks up to one of the very "wild witches" her father wants to stamp out, is occasionally embarrassed by some of his more violent actions, and feels guilt whenever she does have to act cruel to accomplish a task. Doesn't stop her from adoring her dad and wanting to live up to his legacy though, and Hawk did end up becoming just as merciless and driven as her version of Belos.

Like Father, Unlike Son / int_9d47a2a2	comment	A Song of Ice and Fire: Samwell Tarly. His father is a Colonel Kilgore, he is a plump, pacifistic nerd. This led Sam's father to disavow and disinherit him, and force him to join the Night's Watch under threat of death. Tywin Lannister's father was an airheaded, weak-willed hedonist and spendthrift who knew nothing about politics. He is an aspiring tyrant, practical with money, and an astute politician. In turn, his son Tyrion has his political acumen but not his ruthlessness. His other son Jaime has no ambition at all other than being a Kingsguard. His daughter Cersei has all his ambition and ruthlessness but her politics aren't as sharp as his. Roose Bolton is a cold-hearted tyrant of the same caliber as Tywin (and an ally of his). His bastard son Ramsay is an impulsive psychopath, not very smart, and only a real expert on torturing people, sucking at pretty much anything else. Daeron II the Good was very much unlike his father Aegon the Unworthy. While Aegon was a hedonist who cared nothing about ruling, Daeron was a principled and self-controlled man who took his duties seriously. This helped fuel the rumors that Daeron was not Aegon's biological son but rather the son of his uncle Aemon the Dragonknight who was the Knight in Shining Armor. In the case of House Targaryen, this pattern occurs for several generations including Daeron's. Prince Daemon Targaryen lived and loved dangerously and epitomized everything good and bad about being Targaryen, while his sons Aegon III and Viserys II were Boring, but Practical, with Viserys serving as a capable Hand of the King to Aegon and his sons for decades. Aegon III's eldest son Daeron I was an ambitious Young Conqueror, while Baelor I was a Cloudcuckoolander who was called "the Blessed" and "the Befuddled" in equal measure. Viserys' son was Aegon IV the Unworthy (see above), the hedonistic father of Daeron II.

Wapol, on the other hand, is a spoiled Royal Brat who is so selfish that nobody can believe he is his father's son. When he took over the throne after his father died, he not only abused his power but also abandoned his people when Blackbeard attacked. Suffice to say, Wapol is hated very much by his subjects to the point that they arm themselves when he decides to show his ugly mug again. Garp is the greatest Marine to have protected the peace of the World Government, having notably brought the Pirate King Gold Roger to justice. His son Dragon is the leader of the Revolutionaries who aims to topple the World Government. Doflamingo is a manipulative asshole who only values the lives of those who prove useful to his goals, and even then towards them he doesn't take kindly to betrayal. In regards to his true origin, this is not surprising as he's actually a former World Noble, the same people who keep slaves and freely shoot others without repercussion. What's surprising however is in regard to his parents. His parents, namely his father, were actually genuinely good people unlike their World Noble contemporaries, who even decided to step down from their privileged but abusive social status to live among the common folk. Sanji is nothing like his father, Vinsmoke Judge. Judge is a warmongering king, a Bad Boss, and a brutish man who believes in Might Makes Right and Virtue Is Weakness. Sanji on the other hand, is a low-class pirate and, while he has his faults, is a hero who refuses to be associated with his family or their Underworld activities and is willing to help others in need. It's later revealed to be justified; Sanji was genetically altered along with his then-unborn quadruplet brothers with the intention of turning them into ruthless killing machines, but his dead mother, Sora, took a dangerous drug that reversed gene modifications to save her sons, at the cost of his own life. Sanji was the only one who was born a normal kid who still retained his empathy as the result of the drug; Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji weren't so lucky. Big Mom's children are mostly like her, but there are exceptions. Charlotte Praline, Charlotte Chiffin, and Lola are all incredibly nice people, unlike their tyrannical and brutal mother. The former two take it a step further by actually loving their husbands, instead of their mother's route of treating her spouses like living sperm banks.

This is partly intentional on Kratos' part, as he very much does not want his son to be anything like him, and it's implied he took a very hand-off approach to parenting before Atreus' mother passed.

Their son Rocky in contrast is a Nice Guy with a rocker-like personality. Furthering the contrast is that Mr. and Mrs. Robinson are gray-colored "human" Muppets while Rocky is a brightly colored furry "monster" Muppet. Though they have their differences as shown in "The Boss" episode what with Rocky not having a high-paying business-oriented job, they do care for one another despite Mr. Robinson's personal reservations on the matter. Jamie is a Barbaric Bully that beats up her classmates a lot and likes seeing them suffer. In the only two appearances of her father, however, he was shown to be a nice man who loves his family and helps people in danger.

Like Father, Unlike Son / int_b0028436	comment	JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: the first three protagonists are all related, and all very different. While Jonathan was every bit a gentleman and a Gentle Giant so pure his mere presence makes flowers bloom, his grandson Joseph is a loud, Boisterous Bruiser with a propensity for Zany Schemes. Jonathan's tactics in combat were limited to "let's get him in a position where I can Overdrive him", while Joseph's solutions lean on the side of Success Through Insanity and outthinking his opponents. It most likely comes from the fact that while Jonathan was raised to be a British lord, Joseph's parents vanished early in his life, leaving only Erina and Speedwagon to raise him. Joseph and his grandson Jotaro are even further opposites. While Joseph in his older years is still a loud, cheerful Boisterous Bruiser, Jotaro is very much The Stoic whose emotions are next-to-impossible to divine (ironically, he hides them because he believes he's easy to read). Joseph's enemies in Battle Tendency often found him amusing, while Jotaro sometimes manages to defeat his opponents through sheer intimidation alone. Moreover, when Joseph appears in Stardust Crusaders, Jotaro clearly thinks little of him, while when he himself appears in Diamond In Unbreakable, all the new characters consider him pretty much the coolest person in existence.

Like Father, Unlike Son / int_b30ae4db	comment	Game of Thrones: This has happened to the Northerners. After the War of the Five Kings has ended and the fallen lords' sons took charge, most of them aren't as honorable or fond of the traditional feudal system. That's mostly because they saw what the old way of oaths and loyalty gave to their fathers and with the Boltons instead of the Starks in charge, you don't show respect as much as you show usefulness. Even those who aren't that extreme refuse to help the Starks simply because they asked. As well as the above, Smalljon Umber is also less noisy than his father. Myrcella was sweet and kind, completely unlike her cruel, self-obsessed mother. Cersei talked about this after Myrcella's death: While Gendry does have a lot of Robert's physical traits, in terms of personality, he is almost the exact opposite. Robert was a boisterous irresponsible king who preferred fighting, drinking, and whoring to actually ruling. Gendry is a bastard who is more reserved, practical, and levelheaded and only fights to protect himself and others and doesn't seem to enjoy it. He also thinks things through much more than Robert tended to do.

Like Father, Unlike Son / int_babeae6a	comment	Godzilla vs. Kong: Ren Serizawa. He may look and sound like his deceased father from the previous films at first glance but beyond that, about the only common trait they share is a genius-level intellect, and it becomes clear that Ren and his father could not be more different. IshirÅ� Serizawa was a naturalist with a deep and profound reverence for the Titans (especially Godzilla), respect for nature, and criticism of mankind's arrogance and destructive hubris, and he heroically gave his life reviving Godzilla. Ren is supporting Apex Cybernetics' Muggle Power agenda to dominate, enslave and kill the Titans (who are forces of nature) using technological means, including Apex's obscenely Too Dumb to Live use of King Ghidorah's still-telepathic alien skull as the damned brain for a Mecha they've designed to be the World's Strongest Man (in fact, the novelization suggests it was probably Ren's idea to use Ghidorah's remains in such a way in the first place). And the novelization shows Ren believes Humanity Is Superior and humanity has The Right of a Superior Species to dominate the Titans, and that he despises Godzilla as the focus of his Parental Neglect resentment towards his father. In stark contrast to his father's death, Ren was forcibly killed by Ghidorah's skull and met a completely forgettable and almost humiliating demise. Madison Russell also has this in the film's novelization. She and her father Mark Russell differ in that Madison has no interest in being normal following her early upbringing with her mother in a Limited Social Circle at Monarch and her experiences in the previous film which turned her into a Shell-Shocked Veteran. Mark on the other hand has implicitly rejoined Monarch out of a sense of duty and would be all too happy to never have to deal with Titans again if it could be helped, and unfortunately he's projecting his own expectations of what would be an ideal life onto Madison which is straining their relationship.

As much as he loves his mother, Nero is a naturally rebellious person who can't stand the rigid structure of Hexside and the covens. He doesn't want to join a coven because of how limiting it is and definitely doesn't want to become eternally indebted to the Emperor, heavily contrasting Lilith's loyalty and servitude towards Belos. For this reason, he quickly strikes up friendly conversation with Eda over their mutual distaste for the Emperor's rule even before learning that Eda is his aunt.

Goku's first son Gohan is humble, soft-spoken, nerdy, and does not enjoy fighting for the sake of it, unlike his Blood Knight father. In times of peace, Goku continues to train while Gohan focuses on his scholarly pursuits. Goku's second son Goten started out as similar as Goku himself, but in the end, Goten has become tired of fighting and is more interested in dating girls. Vegeta is a very serious and extremely proud Prince who loves fighting and he used to be very violent and he didn't care for anyone. Present Trunks is cheerful and a brat, while Future Trunks is humble, soft-spoken, and wouldn't risk the safety of his comrades for a fight like his father.

As such he hopes for his own son Manolo to uphold the family tradition. Manolo however prefers to be a musician who plays songs rather than a bullfighter who finishes off bulls.

Like Father, Unlike Son / int_db96ded4	comment	In The Legend of Korra, the Spin-Offspring of the characters from Avatar: The Last Airbender contrast a bit from their parents. Aang in the first series was often a playful happy-go-lucky kid. Aang's son Tenzin grew up to be a stern mentor figure who's often a stick in the mud. Despite this, Tenzin was considered the favorite of Aang's three children (in part due to being the only Airbender among them) and it's implied they had an extremely close relationship, though in the present Tenzin feels he can barely keep up with Aang's power and fame and has a strained bond with his siblings Kya and Bumi. Toph Beifong in the first series was an independent girl snarker who ran away from her strict home which wanted her to follow tradition. Toph's older daughter Lin is a serious Iron Lady who became Da Chief in order to follow in her mother's footsteps as a cop despite Toph's own wishes against such a choice. The contrast is even more highlighted in their actions as police chiefs. Whereas Lin is a strict By-the-Book Cop who only did things not by the book after resigning from her position, Toph abused her position as she immediately covered up for her other daughter Suyin when she got arrested. The Earth King in the first series was a Nice Guy and Friend to All Living Things but was a Puppet King who was not even aware of the corruption going on in his own kingdom. His daughter on the other hand is a Jerkass dictator who is fully in control of the Secret Police that once controlled her father. Furthermore, she is allergic to animals but has no problem eating Exotic Entrees. Rumor has it that she even ate her father's own pet bear.

Like Father, Unlike Son / int_e033aa72	comment	In El Tigre, one of the more prominent elements is a rather pronounced recurring parent-child contrast within the Rivera family. The good-aligned members use the Bronze Boots, which give them Super-Speed while the villains use the Sombrero of Chaos, a hat that transforms into a mech suit. Puma Loco is an Evil Genius supervillain who primarily uses technology and his Transforming Mecha, through the Sombrero of Chaos. His son White Pantera is a superhero who is a physical fighter who uses the mystic Bronze Boots of Truth to aid him. This setup is actually a recurring theme that seems to skip generations. Dark Leopard, the first Rivera supervillain, was a Mayincatec-themed villain with abilities similar to Puma Loco. Golden Leon the first Rivera superhero and Dark Leopard's son is a conquistador-themed hero with abilities similar to White Pantera. Mighty Cheetar, Golden Leon's son, is a Steampunk pirate-themed villain with abilities similar to Puma Loco. Justice Jaguar, Mighty Cheetar's son and Puma Loco's father, is a Mexican sheriff-themed hero with abilities similar to White Pantera. Despite these differences in alignment, the Rivera family however has a deep familial love and respect for one another. El Tigre himself is also a contrast to his own father with the addition of being a contrast to his own grandfather. He is a physical fighter who uses mechanical grappling hook-like claws. While he does indulge in villain activity once in a while and is a bit of a troublemaker, he is at most an Anti-Hero as most of his deeds are on the side of good. Turns out he is a Legacy Character to the first Rivera with superhuman abilities, the original El Tigre (and Dark Leopard's father.) The only difference though is that the original El Tigre has a Split Personality and talks to himself having gone mad from whether to become a hero or villain. He's also much more powerful than either of his descendants with the implications Manny will grow just as strong when fully grown. Outside of the Rivera family there is Frida Suarez. Frida is a troublemaker who on more than one occasion is the one who encourages Manny to partake in more bad acts. Frida's father is the ever-strict no-nonsense law-abiding Chief of Police of Miracle City and Frida's mother from what little was shown of her, pretty much shares her husband's police viewpoints. Despite the contrast, hurting Frida is a sure way to get her father's wrath. This continues in the future according to Word of God; Manny and Frida marry and end up having triplets with one becoming Good, one Evil, and the other Undecisive. Furthermore, Word of God confirmed Manny would choose a side and Nick let the viewers pick, the final episode implies he picked Good.

His father Isanari, on the other hand, is rather easygoing, and his physique suggests that he exercises regularly. This wasn't always the case, though, as Fuutarou sported a delinquent look back in elementary school, something Isanari seems rather proud of, while Fuutarou sees it as an Old Shame.

His children in the sequel Major 2nd grew up wanting to be like him. His daughter is quite a baseball player. His son on the other hand... Daigo has a weak arm and can't pitch well. Daigo ends up so frustrated by his inability to pitch that he becomes cynical and quits baseball for several years. He returns thanks to Hikaru but ends up becoming a catcher. Subverted with Hikaru. He initially seems to be in an identical situation to Goro, but it turns out that Hikaru simply doesn't know how to play baseball. When taught proper poses, it becomes apparent that Hikaru has a natural talent for pitching.

All For One thinks nothing of people who aren't affiliated with them, happily murdering dozens of heroes to steal their Quirks to hand Izuku as presents. He's utterly self-assured, emotionally manipulative, and does everything For the Evulz. Izuku wants to be a hero who saves people like All Might. He's highly emotional, overly apologetic, and terrified of being ostracized for his parentage. This is what convinces All Might that Izuku couldn't be All For One's son, as they were just too different in personality, even if their Quirks are eerily similar.

Eldest son Brad is a slacker who is very mischievous and a troublemaker. His dad is a straight-arrow car salesman. Baby child Brianna is a stuck-up pageant kid. Her mom is not quite a pageant mom, more average. Kick is the middle kid, and is a stunts-obsessed daredevil with Hidden Depths. He has this in common with his mother, who is a retired daredevil. She tends to treat him like a baby now, though, and often has panic attacks at the danger Kick exposes himself to. Kick's grandfather is old, slow, and grumpy, but he, being the father of Kick's mother, is also a retired daredevil, to the point that he looked and behaved almost exactly like Kick at that age.
