Mahabharata/YMMV


 * Applicability: See Alternative Character Interpretation.
 * Character Tiers: It's not all that clear, but general trends are set. Pandavas are more heroic than most heroes, but are outmatched by Bhishma. And of course even they cannot hope to be on equal footing with Krishna.
 * Crowning Moment of Awesome - too many to list, since even the antagonists have their moments.
 * The Scrappy - Yuddhistira. Not only does he gamble away his kingdom, his brothers and their common wife, he also gambles AGAIN, loses *a second time* and is exiled for twelve years. Yet, he is called "Dharmaraj" or the upholder of dharma.
 * Tear Jerker - too many to list.
