It seems like ENTPs are either crazy, evil, or assholes. Is that all we are?
For example:
Joker - crazy and evil and asshole sometimes
Cheshire Cat - crazy kinda
Tony Stark (Iron Man) - asshole and a little bit crazy
Dr. House - semi-crazy and asshole
Syndrome from the Incredibles - evil & a tad crazy

Hey now, I don't think Dr. House is a negative portrayal of an ENTP. He's portrayed as one of the best doctors in the hospital.

Great observation

I don't necessarily think that he is a negative portrayal of an ENTP but he is an a*shole and a little bit crazy. Are ENTP characteristics hyperbolically represented in the media?

None of them are ENTPs because they aren't real. Are they close to it MBTI-wise if someone must apply a type? Sure. Are they exaggerated? Sure. Who wants to watch a boring main character?

All 'types' of fictional characters are overblown.

Are you sure all of those characters are entps, or do we see crazy assholes and say, "they must be entp."

yeah, this is what i was going to say. a lot of fictional representations are hyperbolic.

there's probably some truth to this too.
