A Tier: Big Goths
Megaera (Hades, 2020)
Set aside the whip, the bat wings, the heavy makeup, and the Hot Topic wardrobe. Megaera, one of the Erinyes (a trio of sultry demi-gods from the Greek mytheme), radiates goth bona fides beyond the superficial plane. She’s a main character in Supergiant’s terrific roguelike, Hades, wherein her subplot is worthy of a Cure album: Bound by destiny to protagonist Zagreus, the two of them are ill-fated lovers locked in an eternal struggle of love and hate. He’s trying to break out of hell. She’s tasked with stopping him. Oh, yeah, and they used to date. Someone page Robert Smith.
