The Ultimate Alignment Thread
In this thread, you can post all of the fictional characters to see which alignment they belong to. Ok, I go first. I'm always curious to see what Shrek alignment belong to:
Shrek (True Neutral)
Donkey (Chaotic Neutral)

Re: The Ultimate Alignment Thread
ASOIAF spoilers (not the show):
Spoiler
Jaime: True Neutral. He probably starts Neutral Evil at the beginning of the series, but later shows that he is loyal to family and his own soldiers.
Brienne: Lawful/Neutral Good. Willing to comply with the law, very heroic. More Good than Lawful.
Stannis: Lawful Neutral. No explanation.
Davos: Chaotic Good. Smuggler.

Re: The Ultimate Alignment Thread
Definitely good, I'd say. By the simple metric that good people are those who are willing to sacrifice for others, she's very good.

Re: The Ultimate Alignment Thread
Granny Weatherwax is Lawful Good. She has a strict moral code and a huge degree of self-discipline, and does not tolerate evil. She isn't nice, though. The irony is that she is better suited to be evil, and was forced into being the good witch when her sister went the evil route.
Vimes is also Lawful Good - in this case I will just quote TVTropes as it puts it much better than I can:

Re: The Ultimate Alignment Thread
Let's see, that's The Colour of Magic, The Light Fantastic, Equal Rites. You have the best yet to come - while there is a steady improvement across the three, Pratchett doesn't really take off until Mort/Sourcery/Wyrd Sisters (which one in particular is a matter of much debate). Although introduced in Equal Rites, Granny's character develpos considerably in Wyrd Sisters.

Re: The Ultimate Alignment Thread
Being amenable isn't a prerequiste for acting well. There are doctors who will spent 20 hour straight at an operating table only to insult the patient continuously after they're saved. There are people who will judge others extremely harshly and refuse to be quiet about it but also hold themselves to the same very high standard.
Meanwhile some people will be unfaillingly polite and charming even as they drive the metaphorical knife in your back.

Re: The Ultimate Alignment Thread
Shojo was Good, but he was not nice. Malack was nice, but he was not Good. Nice doesn't mean Good, and Good doesn't mean Nice.
Again, alignment is a very rough estimation. It is not a prescription for how a person will act, or a replacement for personality. It is a game mechanic, and even in those games it has the potential to not really mean a lot.Cuthalion's art is the prettiest art of all the art. Like my avatar.

Re: The Ultimate Alignment Thread
Gonna go ahead and assume you're talking about the MCU takes on these characters.
When we say "Hulk", do we mean Bruce Banner or Incredible Hulk? They have very different temperaments and moral concerns. I'd argue that neither of them is Chaotic Good, honestly. Bruce himself strikes me as more Neutral Good, while Hulk is more Chaotic Neutral with occasional CG leanings, especially in the later films when he mellows out a little. I guess that averages out to Chaotic Good. Shrug.
Captain America is probably NG just like Iron Man is. He tries to follow the rule of law, but he doesn't have any trouble breaking it if he thinks that's the better way to help people. For evidence, see his actions... pretty much throughout Civil War and Infinity War.
I would probably swap Ultron and Thanos on the Lawful/Chaotic thing. Thanos' ultimate goal is genociding half of all life in the universe, but he's respectful to his enemies, shows clear signs of standards and principles (if ones extremely twisted by his fatalist worldview), honors deals he makes, and is overall the kind of person you probably wouldn't mind having on your team if he wasn't, y'know, a mass-murdering space warlord. Ultron, on the other hand, talks the game of a messiah figure who wants the best for humanity, but his motives and his plan shift constantly, and they always ultimately boil down to "kill a ton of people because Daddy Stark didn't program me a conscience". He doesn't really have the scruples I'd associate with an LE character, nor the pragmatism of an NE character.

Re: The Ultimate Alignment Thread
What would make you say that Banner is Neutral and Hulk is Good? That seems to run pretty counter to the majority of their actions in the movies. Banner tries to help out the good guys as best he can when his powers aren't overriding his better judgement, and the Hulk doesn't really think of anything beyond smashing whatever (or whoever) is in front of him until Ragnarok gives him some time to grow mentally.

Re: The Ultimate Alignment Thread
As to Iron man, I think it shifts during the movies (I've never read any comics, so I only have the movies to go on). In the first movie, Tony Stark is quite chaotic. He just thinks about himself and nobody else. But that changes in later movies.

Re: The Ultimate Alignment Thread
Start of Iron Man 1: Neutral Evil. Nobody says that evil can't have a conscience, it's about how he acts. Tony runs one of the world's largest maker of some of the most advanced weapons available, and he doesn't care about what's done with it until the results are squarely in front of him.
End of Iron Man 1: Chaotic Good. He doesn't give much of a damn about laws, he cares about keeping his technology out of the wrong hands and acting as he sees fit.
Start of Iron Man 2: Chaotic Good. "You want my property, you can't have it, but I did you a big favour - I have successfully privatised world peace!"
End of Iron Man 2: Neutral Good. Accepts some controls on his behaviour.
Iron Man 3: no real change in character as such, it's all internal conflict.
Civil War: Lawful Good. "We need to be put in check". Wants to submit the Avengers to law out of desire to protect his friends.
Endgame: Lawful Good. Sacrifices himself for the rest of humanity.

Re: The Ultimate Alignment Thread
I never get where people think Tony was selling weapons to anyone and everyone and didn't care about the results. Yes, he sold to the US military and presumably other national militaries, but that does not count as selling to everyone and anyone. In fact there is solid evidence that Tony didn't sell to a lot of people and groups. If Tony sold to anyone than his partner Obadiah Stane wouldn't have been going behind his back so much to make sales. That puts Tony in the Neutral listing.
