===Film===
* Jared Leto's Joker in "Suicide Squad (2016)".  
** Compare this to Heath Ledger's Joker in ''The Dark Knight'' and Joqauin Phoenix's Joker in ''Joker''.  Ledger's and Phoenix's portrayals were "edge with a point"; the former was pointed at the consequences of various reactions to terrorism<ref>From underreaction to bargaining with one to active cooperation to overreactions, the Dark Knight covers a ''lot'' of troublesome terrorism reactions. Ledger's performance is there (thematically speaking) mainly to draw out those reactions.</ref>, and the latter was pointed at exploring the origins of evil and apathy corrupting a [[Meme|society]] (both going out of their way to avoid ideological baggage).
* '''Tyler Durden''' from "Fight Club".  While he started out as "edge with a point" trying to give men catharsis from, and criticizing, the growing cultural and familial vacuum of the 90s, later in the film he descended into being a full-blown edgelord. Still, the mildest specimen of its kind, with special care to avoid murder.    
* [[Star Wars|'''Kylo Ren''']] AKA Krylo Ben AKA Ben Swolo. The writers were doing it on purpose, to play up the First Order's dogmatic North Korea in space schtick, and  to that end made Kylo an incredibly unsubtle Darth Vader pastiche. While "Kylo" may be the worst Skywalker ever, there is no denying that the edge is strong in his family. His mom's side are a bunch of crybaby desert backworlders with an incestuous sex drive and his dad was a scruffy, nerf herding spice smuggler - and all were war criminals, some with body counts in the hundred thousands and some with children's blood on their hands... He probably fits the mold better than we'd like to admit. Also, his edge is undermined by the fact that he never won a fight against [[Mary_Sue|Mar-Rey Sue Palpatine]] which doesn’t help things either.
** Legends had its own offenders, particularly Admiral Daala and basically any Clone Wars veteran Imperial Officer who actually believed Sidious's bullshit.
* '''Peter and Paul from "Funny Games"'''. Another "cool psycho gang that tortures, kills and dismembers a family" sort of director's wank which ups to eleven: when the woman in desperation manages to kill one, the other '''''literally turns back time''''' like a manchild with a temper tantrum on cheat mode, and kills her child and husband, THEN tortures, gags, takes her for a boat ride and drowns her for fun, go to the next house and wink at the camera while acting happy and nonchalant, to start the cycle anew. Director Haneke has stated that the film is a reflection and criticism of violence used in media and definitely not getting his rocks off torturing a whitebread white woman with a family and slowly kill her family members under games with an illusion of victory, only to be denied any chance. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight (then again, this is a tame letdown compared to what a hardcore gorehound would watch, with cinematography purposely ruining any payoff.  Very messed while also giving a middle finger to [[Slaanesh]] Worshipers as no rape occurs in the film).  Oh, and he enjoyed it so much he remade HIS OWN MOVIE; after the original 1997 German language version, he made a 2008 English version.
* '''"The Strangers"''' from the 2008 The Strangers film. Literally a bunch of home invaders invade a couple's home, beat, torture and kill the husband, unmask themselves to the wife, act all chill and cute, act cool to a bible tract distributing kid and talk about "it will be easier next time". They are never found, never bested, and simply put, get away with everything in a "cool teenager" attitude. If we didn't know anything better, we would guess it's part of grooming the masses into helplessness.
