When the good guy leading by example rebels and does a Face Heel Turn, and others continue to follow his example and turn to the "dark side" along with him. The Paragon isn't just a good guy, he's the good guy. Everyone looks up to him. He's at the forefront of every battle, gives the Rousing Speeches, and has probably personally trained most of the heroes. What happens when someone like that turns evil? So does everyone else. Compare Fallen Hero, Broken Pedestal. See also The Paragon. Examples of The Paragon Always Rebels include:

  • When the good guy leading by example rebels and does a Face Heel Turn, and others continue to follow his example and turn to the "dark side" along with him. The Paragon isn't just a good guy, he's the good guy. Everyone looks up to him. He's at the forefront of every battle, gives the Rousing Speeches, and has probably personally trained most of the heroes. What happens when someone like that turns evil? So does everyone else. This trope is about when the brightest beacon of hope and good decides despair and evil are better options and manages to worm his way into the hearts of the men and women who look up to him, turning them to the dark side as well. This is the distinction from Fallen Hero: He's not just falling, he's making sure to take everyone else with him. So, to reiterate: it's not just the paragon falling by themselves; it's not this trope just because the guy is the number two good guy or the greatest whatever; it's about their dragging others with them. Compare Fallen Hero, Broken Pedestal. See also The Paragon. Examples of The Paragon Always Rebels include:
