Jim the Knight

Jim the Knight is the main protagonist of the 1984 video game mh:crappygames:Hydlide and its 1995 Sega Saturn remake. He is a knight in service of Princess Ann who when Varalys cast a spell on Ann and turned her into three fairies, sets off to find the three fairies to save Ann and kill Varalys.

Why He Should Be Killed By Bees

 * 1) His name is very unfitting for a heroic-fantasy context.
 * 2) When you start up the game, you start off very weak and one enemy can utterly destroy Jim in seconds.
 * 3) * In fact, he is so weak, he can get killed by bees and even slime in both the original game and in Virtual Hydlide.
 * 4) * In Super Hydlide, he couldn't even push a grave from levels 5 to 6 until he got to do that in level 7.
 * 5) * In Virtual Hydlide, despite having armor, he can easily be killed almost about immediately by trees, hovering laser balls shooting electricity that barely touches him, flames that barely touch him, a creature with sharp teeth from behind, and a golden statue that carries a wooden sword.
 * 6) His quest is very cliche, he must collect three fairies in order to rescue Princess Ann from Varalys.
 * 7) His armor in Virtual Hydlide is laughably bad.
 * 8) * His armor/character designs prior to Virtual Hydlide like in Super Hydlide for example, while decent, are very uninspired.
 * 9) * Speaking of Virtual Hydlide, his character design as a portly digitized actor looks so bad that it makes his NES design make him look badass in comparison.
 * 10) Jim the Knight comes out short by personality and character development. He's basically the combination of Link from The Legend of Zelda and any generic protagonist from the '70s/'80s in a nutshell. This makes him clichéd somehow. He's basically the generic "I'm gonna save the world" type of protagonist with nothing else unique about him, hence the explanation.
 * 11) * Especially in Virtual Hydlide, where the only defining thing about him is that he's an errand boy running around and nothing else.

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) His NES sprite is cute-looking.
 * 2) * His armor/character designs prior to Virtual Hydlide like in Super Hydlide for example, while they are very uninspired, are decent.
