@@zachary3367 There's scientific evidence that head trauma causes foot fungus and New York has been known to get random kangaroo attacks from time to time.
Yup, it’s always corny manipulative phrases like: “If you kill me, your no better than me, hero” “Y’know hero, me and you are not so different from each other…even tho there is a clear difference between me who just murdered 50 women and children, and you who killed my henchmen, mostly in self defense and to stop me” “The reason why killed all those innocent people is because society is messed up, and I wanted my voice to be heard” “Y’know your no better than me hero…” Add onto the list if you want.

@@elishafollet5347 I’ve had the exact same idea before, where I want the hero to call out the villain’s bullshit whenever the villain tries to pull some sort of manipulation tactic on the hero and on the audience watching for that matter since usually there is always a group of people that think the villain has a point with their obviously manipulative quote of comparing themselves to the hero to sound all cool and deep, but then the hero says something about it, and I mean more than just the basic “I’m nothing like you!!” quote and actually calls out the villain’s dumb backwards morals. Even for the “sympathetic” villains, I would love just a simple joke about the villain suddenly getting ready to cry and pull a sob story out once they are defended, and then the hero rolling their eyes because the hero has experienced this type of crap before with multiple of their previous villains crying and dropping a sob story after the villain murdered tons of innocent people, and the hero is just not in the mood for it, and just takes them to jail while the villain is still in the middle of their ramble. It would make me laugh because that how I feel as a viewer.
This is why I generally prefer villains who either like to be villains or just do not care at all. Case in point: Sukuna and Jack Horner, one who really does not care about anything period and one who revels in being evil
as an australian i can confirm you are 100% at risk of a kangaroo attack on your village, having your door get eaten by a kangaroo, and a baby kangaroo kicking you in the head and giving you foot fungus. it's just another average day really
@@lunevoleur8912 thank you i appreciate the sympathy it means a lot. the rest of my family was taken by the local mob so it's not something i get often
My main issue with modern sympathetic villains is they face no repercussions after they redeem themselves. It's like "yeah thanks for saving me, you committed crimes against humanity and wiped out a race of people but you changed, you're good to go."
That guy was a low IQ robber asian and he still managed to play mind games with the inspector. Just imagine what Steven's dad could do in this situation. Prob convince the inspector imprison himself lmao
He would literally become the owner of the prison and then make a brand of prisons that would build five prisons in every state except Ohio because Ohio needs ten prisons. He would teach every single prisoner how to solve university level calculus and physics questions and then send them to Harvard so that they can get a job and stop being criminals.
Then there's 2nd dimension Doofenshmirtz who's somehow more evil than the main series Doofenshmirtz even though his only tragic backstory was losing a toy train.
Doofenshmirtz is the antithesis to absurdly evil villains with tragic backstories to garner sympathy. He has a backstory for literally every conceivable childhood trauma and yet is still fundamentally a good person no matter how evil he thinks he's obligated to be.
I admit, I made all of that up. However. the truth is perhaps worse. When I were wee tall, I had a "Trycycle.".. the older boys had a 4 foot ramp they had been jumping with their bikes. I put my little sister on the back... I don't remember hitting the ramp. I do recall waking up, grandma were yelling at me and I thought to me "Being asleep is far more peaceful."

@@nobodywatchesnooby and by getting abused as a child as well as fighting in a losing war as a young soldier and seeing his country being crippled by debts.
Right? Not like the world isn't full of real villains who just want to murder & burn everything for shits & giggles. Why can't we have these proper villains in fiction anymore? Now they must make them oh so relatable and look what sad past they had thus became evil...get lost.
I say this all the time. Especially about marvel. Thanos was a cool exception at the time but then they went that way with all the villains and it’s just so boring
So the 2 mountain lions that fought Steven's dad, did his taxes, and now attacked the villain's auntie hah? I need these two lions to make a cameo already.
I've seen 4 black panthers where I live, and we have the yellow cougars too. Steal some from here. You can have them all. once, a mountain lion was in my cousins front yard about a quarter of a mile from where I live and I'm not too stoked about it.
I love how the detective’s energy changes the moment he hears “mountain lions.” Like he goes from annoyed at the criminal’s moral blackmailing to astonished and increasingly upset at the string of events that led to him stealing.
That’s why Puss ‘N Boots: The Last Wish was so good. When asked what his tragic backstory was, the villain is just like, “Some guy beat me in a pie making contest.”
@@neilvanschepdael6778 no, he had "a loving family, stability, a mansion, a baker goods enterprise to inherit, useless crap like that" so in other words, he had nothing wrong lol
This is why Death and Jack in Last Wish are such great antagonists. Death is not altruistic but isn't exactly evil. Simply a literal force intent on making a point to the hero's detriment. And Jack is just stupid fun, his villainy used for some of the best humor in the movie.
@@archersterling6726 Not out of spite. Death chases Puss to teach him a lesson. (Spoilers ahead, natch.) At the end of the movie they have one final face-off, but by now Puss has come to terms with living his last life to the fullest and Death just... leaves him be. The threat of death was a motivator for Death's true goal: making Puss *overcome* his fear of death and live his life fully.
I feel like you can give a villain a heartfelt backstory, if it's done right. That itself is hard to do, but yk some villains are just evil for no reason and sometimes that's what makes them memorable.
Wandavision was like "I lost my imagined children and my robot husband therefore it's not that bad that I enslaved the bodies AND minds of an entire city for weeks for my personal entertainment."
@@voice_0f_reason IMO the action was the low point of the show. I enjoyed the show being more of a psychological horror/comedy and would have preferred if Wanda had to go through an emotional and even financial reckoning. Like bitch, you destroyed half this town and probably caused almost everyone here untold damage to their careers, property, emotions, and more. Least she could do is cut a check.
Well yeah..... but the REAL bad guy was actually this different Witch who had this really evil plan. She was going to find out what Wanda was doing, how she did it, then steal her powers so that she couldn't do it to more people....... So it's ok that she did that.
@@alexanderthegreat5114 lol also let's not forget Wanda decided to imprison that witch's mind for eternity as a punishment showing she learned nothing about why its wrong to imprison minds
The idea of an interrogation scene where the shots of the criminal are dark and serious and the shots of the interrogator just get more and more wild as he get more and more pissed off is great
Dr. Doofensfmert from Phineas and Ferb is the closest I can think of off the top of my head lol every hilarious or strange bad thing that can happen to a person happen to him in his childhood and then is the backstory for his newest evil plan
it's such a double joke because not only is it showing off the stupid 'see the villain isn't bad' thing it's also showing off the stupid 'religious = good' thing i love it
Remember when Maleficent puts a curse on a baby princess because Maleficent wasn't invited to a birthday party? Villains back then were just evil and petty for the sake of evil. And kind of awesome at it.
I think it was Nostalgia Critic who pointed out that where villains fell off, heroes rose up. We don't get cool villains like Maleficent anymore, but we probably get more interesting heroes than Prince Philip.
@@codenamezenneko9599 Nah snubbing a fairy will 100% result in the worst case scenario. Whereas inviting them would at least have lowered the chances dramatically. Much like being an evil fae she went the extra mile and was willing to destroy the entire Kingdom over the slight, while a regular fae would have just targeted their daughter and the King and Queen.
Which is a joke that is ONLY funny because of the current movie environment being oversaturated by more mature takes and primitive consumers gobbling up that satire like cookies. Satire is not funny in a vacuum. Put this satire in a different era and it will quickly loose all of it’s charm.
@kingOL "mature takes, primitive consumers gobbling up satire" holy shit take your lips off your own cock for a single second. I bet you think all unapologetically evil/force of nature villains are immediately F tier. What about Cruella de ville she is iconic and good unlike that shitty sympathetic drivel remake they made. Villains can just be bad sometimes
What if I told you that there's this young rich kid whose parents were murdered in front of him? That seems like another legit villain backstory ;) Or, what about this teenager who got bit by a spider one time? His uncle was murdered by a mugger. Legit villain waiting to happen, right? ;)
@@Bran-x8q No no no, the spider one doesn’t work because he had opportunity the first time to stop it. As his uncle said “With great power comes great responsibility,” thus the biggest, “I fked up” realizations in his life. Now rich kid story, I can agree with him becoming a villain. That was emotional damage on such a high level, that I’m surprised the kid didn’t snap and become a psychopath. Instead, he became absolutely SANE, instead. There is so much motivation to be a villain in a worthless city.
Villians should have backstories and reasons for being that way, but that doesn't mean they aren't the villain. Just because someone had a crappy life doesn't mean they can be excused for doing terrible things. It just makes them make sense
Absolutely. I don’t think people are ever inherently “bad,” in fact they make choices that they believe are right or that they try to justify because of what happened to them. Life isn’t so black and white, but it doesn’t mean that wrong choices shouldn’t go without consequences.
@@caseysingsong I generally agree, but I have seen people who are in the nicest, best world of worlds, and end out being a total loser. Just a piece of misery. In the end, we are animals, and we do what we want. It's what influences what we want that matters.
Not all villains are justified or need some backstory. Especially monsters born from pure evil. Like Blackheart from Marvel. He is a demon created from the energy of centuries of murders. That’s it. He’s evil because he was born from evil.
@@g.masterlordoftheg-force4770 this is why I love villains like black heart. They serve as a reminder that you cannot always negotiate with your enemies and trying to force negotiations with an adversary who clearly shows no desire for peaceful resolution is just how you get yourself and potentially other people killed.
@@Bran-x8q Yes. Killmonger should have been taken out. But it doesn't change the fact that a disturbingly large number of people feel he was justified because of his circumstances. The same goes for plenty of other modern villains. There are no explicitly *Bad* villains. It's always someone who had something happen and we as the audience are expected to relate and feel sorry for these characters, rather than wanting their defeat.
@@dresdenlancer9012 Killmonger, and most "well intentioned extremist" villians by that token, is like Solidus Snake, has a valid criticism of society, but their proposed "solution" won't actually fix the issue they want to fix. Killmonger flipping the status quo of oppression would only make the cycle of oppression stronger, just with Africans on top this time, whilst even if Solidus Snake learned who the Patriots' founding fathers were, killing them would do nothing to stop the system they created.The appeal of such villains is that they represent the complex realities of our world, that most social issues of our modern world are driven by systems, not people, and thus can't be solved as simply as raising an army to conquer an enemy or assassinating a few bad apples.
@@dresdenlancer9012 In my mind, it's all about execution, and "He's the bad guy because he's evil" is such a lazy take in my mind. Villains need ideals and goals, they need motivation. Sometimes that motivation might be understandable, sometimes it's simply greed. Case in point, the MCU's take on Vulture. He's a father who got screwed on a contract to clean up after the New York event. He invested everything into the contract, gambled his company, and then had it stolen from under his feet. His business was ruined- so he and his employees took the harvest they'd forgotten to hand back and made weapons that they sold, and started to steal from the very company that screwed them over in the first place. It started as survival- a way to avoid joblessness after Stark fucked them over- but, by the time Spiderman got involved, it had become greed; give his family everything they wanted. His story is something you can be sympathetic of, but they were still clearly criminals, clearly in the wrong. And they didn't consider the legal path: Suing for damages. They had been awarded a contract, they had invested heavily in the machinery to complete said contract, then been screwed over by having their contract voided without any attempt at renegotiation.
'misguided and unfortunate' can work well. but let's not pretend that hitler going on a genocidal rampage was justified due to being denied from art school. And that there isn't something genuinely in-human about him
She was hit in the head with a severed foot. The entire underside of the foot was infected with the fungus. It was one of the mountain lions that hid the foot in our mailbox. It was my auntie's foot. That's why she's in the hospital.
Sometimes I think movies are trying to tell us that crimes are OK depending on your situation. In South Africa we are struggling financially but the guys who steal are usually very well dressed and fed.
@@gray3508Sympathy is the act of being more concerned that what you normally would see. If everyone is Sympathetic than you need to redefine the emotion.
@whiteranger4487 no... that's not how that works. Or what that word even means. Being sympathetic is the act of expressing sympathy. Sympathy simply put is just an understanding between 2 or more people and/or having a common shared feeling/experience. For example, I can be sympathetic to people who have gone days without food before cause they had a sudden expense that they had to pay for since I have gone through that scenario myself. Everyone can have sympathy for someone else without making the term meaningless.
@seancakin1469 Yes it is. It's like this if everyone is angry nobody is because it would be the normal behavior. If everyone is sympathetic then we wouldn't have created a word to separate the emotion from normal brain functions. Your dictionary cannot save you now.
@@nurulnurul9270 Or maybe they are jsut trying to avoid the old comic book depiction of the villain who is a monster "just because" (Botherhoodof Evil Mutants, seriously? -- the SS did not call itself "murderous psycopaths club") and doing it badly
@@Damen178 bro wtf are you even talking about? Both Black Panther movies featured minority villains and Kang is now black. All of the villains in into the spider verse were minorities except kingpin. The only minority villains I can remember from the 90s that aren’t in martial arts films are Thulsa Doom, Sho’nuff the Shogun of Harlem, Clubber Lang, Candyman, and Simon Phoenix as any stand out villain, and then just only the first two are really worth mentioning.
Because not all evil is “satanic wtf”, most of “evil” is what we call normalcy. We choose convenience over truth or peace or “good”. Evil can be used to weed out other evil, but that does not make it any better or worse. Problem on primitive views on good/evil is that they do not account for absolute/utilitarian values, but only on the inherent, intrinsic value. As a result, yes, you can easy have a genocidal maniac/serial killer being cheered on by people, since he is the powerhouse that is fighting the REAL bad guys. And, likewise, you can have petty thieves being painted utter pitch black, since there is no nobility or ultimate good in their actions, but only ruin. Good and evil are subject to context and perspective. There is no right or wrong, as those constructs are man-made. “Right” and “wrong” is often defined by “what benefits human/humanity more”, and, thereby, it is completely dependent on the subject we are taking about. Example: A hero will save the burning building with kids before saving his love interest. But a villain will burn the world for his love. Who’s love is strongest/the best? The moment you pity interests of one against interest of (faceless) many, you are ought to get some contradictions and cognitive dissonance with notions of good and evil. And the problem lies not in those constructs, but rather US. Our good and our evil are all over the place, since it is as abstract and as malleable to one’s perception as art. Sure, you can say “laws are deemed to uphold moral values”… But that is not really true. Systems often uphold values that make the world most convenient and manageable, not necessarily purest. As Black Adam said “Good and evil are not constants, but are defined by those with power”.
Well the problem is most heroes don't make a lot of sense. It's usually like "Oh, I have superpowers now, I might as well become a superhero". Villains are usually written to have experiences that turned them that way, but it's never that same approach with heroes.

Right? Not like the world isn't full of real villains who just want to murder & burn everything for shits & giggles. Why can't we have these proper villains in fiction anymore? Now they must make them oh so relatable and look what sad past they had thus became evil...get lost.
Uhh...just look in the WH and senate and congress, the WHO and the WMF. You'll see enough for multiple lifetimes.

So the 2 mountain lions that fought Steven's dad, did his taxes, and now attacked the villain's auntie hah? I need these two lions to make a cameo already.
I'm one of those two lions.
I've seen 4 black panthers where I live, and we have the yellow cougars too. Steal some from here. You can have them all. once, a mountain lion was in my cousins front yard about a quarter of a mile from where I live and I'm not too stoked about it.

I love how the detective’s energy changes the moment he hears “mountain lions.”
Like he goes from annoyed at the criminal’s moral blackmailing to astonished and increasingly upset at the string of events that led to him stealing.
Just exasperated by the reality he's living in at that moment. 🤣
The EMOTIONAL DAMAGE was just too much for that investigator...
That’s why Puss ‘N Boots: The Last Wish was so good. When asked what his tragic backstory was, the villain is just like, “Some guy beat me in a pie making contest.”

This is why Death and Jack in Last Wish are such great antagonists. Death is not altruistic but isn't exactly evil. Simply a literal force intent on making a point to the hero's detriment. And Jack is just stupid fun, his villainy used for some of the best humor in the movie.
Goldilocks is also a great antagonist
But Death kinda decided to kill Puss out of spite
Yea that movie did all three types of villains super well. The force of nature, evil for the sake of evil, and the relatable one
@@archersterling6726 Not out of spite. Death chases Puss to teach him a lesson. (Spoilers ahead, natch.) At the end of the movie they have one final face-off, but by now Puss has come to terms with living his last life to the fullest and Death just... leaves him be. The threat of death was a motivator for Death's true goal: making Puss *overcome* his fear of death and live his life fully.
This one movie gave us three types of villains all done really well.

Villains back then were just evil and petty for the sake of evil. And kind of awesome at it.
And she could turn into a dragon, they made her soft and even nerfed her skill set :(
She was also a Fairy. Even regular Fae would have did it, and they decided to snub a well known Evil Fairy!?
I think it was Nostalgia Critic who pointed out that where villains fell off, heroes rose up. We don't get cool villains like Maleficent anymore, but we probably get more interesting heroes than Prince Philip.
@@BlackfangDragon Seeing as she was evil, the baby was probably cursed one way or the other. They took a chance and chose the wrong direction.

Sometimes a villain doesn't need a relatable tragic background. Sometimes all you need is a Jack Horner
Which is a joke that is ONLY funny because of the current movie environment being oversaturated by more mature takes and primitive consumers gobbling up that satire like cookies.
Satire is not funny in a vacuum. Put this satire in a different era and it will quickly loose all of it’s charm.
Death also didnt had a good backround or anything.
He was just the perfect and cold opposite of the goal in that movie.

Anyone will become a villain if someone they loved was attacked by two mountain lions. That's a legit villain backstory right there

Or, what about this teenager who got bit by a spider one time? His uncle was murdered by a mugger. Legit villain waiting to happen, right? ;)
@@Bran-x8q
No no no, the spider one doesn’t work because he had opportunity the first time to stop it.
As his uncle said “With great power comes great responsibility,” thus the biggest, “I fked up” realizations in his life.
Now rich kid story, I can agree with him becoming a villain. That was emotional damage on such a high level, that I’m surprised the kid didn’t snap and become a psychopath.
Instead, he became absolutely SANE, instead.
There is so much motivation to be a villain in a worthless city.
Let it be known: "Now she has foot fungus," is the line that forever earned my subscription, @StevenHe.
Villians should have backstories and reasons for being that way, but that doesn't mean they aren't the villain. Just because someone had a crappy life doesn't mean they can be excused for doing terrible things. It just makes them make sense
Absolutely. I don’t think people are ever inherently “bad,” in fact they make choices that they believe are right or that they try to justify because of what happened to them. Life isn’t so black and white, but it doesn’t mean that wrong choices shouldn’t go without consequences.
Zuko from ATLA being the best example here
@@caseysingsong I generally agree, but I have seen people who are in the nicest, best world of worlds, and end out being a total loser. Just a piece of misery.
In the end, we are animals, and we do what we want. It's what influences what we want that matters.
Not all villains are justified or need some backstory.
Especially monsters born from pure evil.
Like Blackheart from Marvel. He is a demon created from the energy of centuries of murders. That’s it. He’s evil because he was born from evil.
@@g.masterlordoftheg-force4770 this is why I love villains like black heart. They serve as a reminder that you cannot always negotiate with your enemies and trying to force negotiations with an adversary who clearly shows no desire for peaceful resolution is just how you get yourself and potentially other people killed.
The sad thing is... this is basically true. Villains aren't villains anymore. They are "misguided and unfortunate."
A misguided and unfortunate villain is still a villain. You can feel bad for them, but they're still villains and should be treated accordingly
@@Bran-x8q Yes. Killmonger should have been taken out. But it doesn't change the fact that a disturbingly large number of people feel he was justified because of his circumstances. The same goes for plenty of other modern villains. There are no explicitly *Bad* villains. It's always someone who had something happen and we as the audience are expected to relate and feel sorry for these characters, rather than wanting their defeat.
@@dresdenlancer9012 Killmonger, and most "well intentioned extremist" villians by that token, is like Solidus Snake, has a valid criticism of society, but their proposed "solution" won't actually fix the issue they want to fix. Killmonger flipping the status quo of oppression would only make the cycle of oppression stronger, just with Africans on top this time, whilst even if Solidus Snake learned who the Patriots' founding fathers were, killing them would do nothing to stop the system they created.The appeal of such villains is that they represent the complex realities of our world, that most social issues of our modern world are driven by systems, not people, and thus can't be solved as simply as raising an army to conquer an enemy or assassinating a few bad apples.
@@dresdenlancer9012 In my mind, it's all about execution, and "He's the bad guy because he's evil" is such a lazy take in my mind. Villains need ideals and goals, they need motivation. Sometimes that motivation might be understandable, sometimes it's simply greed.
Case in point, the MCU's take on Vulture. He's a father who got screwed on a contract to clean up after the New York event. He invested everything into the contract, gambled his company, and then had it stolen from under his feet. His business was ruined- so he and his employees took the harvest they'd forgotten to hand back and made weapons that they sold, and started to steal from the very company that screwed them over in the first place. It started as survival- a way to avoid joblessness after Stark fucked them over- but, by the time Spiderman got involved, it had become greed; give his family everything they wanted.
His story is something you can be sympathetic of, but they were still clearly criminals, clearly in the wrong. And they didn't consider the legal path: Suing for damages. They had been awarded a contract, they had invested heavily in the machinery to complete said contract, then been screwed over by having their contract voided without any attempt at renegotiation.
'misguided and unfortunate' can work well.

When everyone is sympathetic, no one is sympathetic.
@@gray3508Sympathy is the act of being more concerned that what you normally would see. If everyone is Sympathetic than you need to redefine the emotion.
OK, Syndrome
@whiteranger4487 no... that's not how that works. Or what that word even means. Being sympathetic is the act of expressing sympathy. Sympathy simply put is just an understanding between 2 or more people and/or having a common shared feeling/experience. For example, I can be sympathetic to people who have gone days without food before cause they had a sudden expense that they had to pay for since I have gone through that scenario myself.
Everyone can have sympathy for someone else without making the term meaningless.
@seancakin1469 Yes it is. It's like this if everyone is angry nobody is because it would be the normal behavior. If everyone is sympathetic then we wouldn't have created a word to separate the emotion from normal brain functions. Your dictionary cannot save you now.

The only minority villains I can remember from the 90s that aren’t in martial arts films are Thulsa Doom, Sho’nuff the Shogun of Harlem, Clubber Lang, Candyman, and Simon Phoenix as any stand out villain, and then just only the first two are really worth mentioning.
Hollywood villains really more relatable than the heros 🤣
Because not all evil is “satanic wtf”, most of “evil” is what we call normalcy. We choose convenience over truth or peace or “good”.
Evil can be used to weed out other evil, but that does not make it any better or worse.
Problem on primitive views on good/evil is that they do not account for absolute/utilitarian values, but only on the inherent, intrinsic value.
As a result, yes, you can easy have a genocidal maniac/serial killer being cheered on by people, since he is the powerhouse that is fighting the REAL bad guys.
And, likewise, you can have petty thieves being painted utter pitch black, since there is no nobility or ultimate good in their actions, but only ruin.
Good and evil are subject to context and perspective. There is no right or wrong, as those constructs are man-made.
“Right” and “wrong” is often defined by “what benefits human/humanity more”, and, thereby, it is completely dependent on the subject we are taking about.
Example: A hero will save the burning building with kids before saving his love interest. But a villain will burn the world for his love. Who’s love is strongest/the best?
The moment you pity interests of one against interest of (faceless) many, you are ought to get some contradictions and cognitive dissonance with notions of good and evil.
And the problem lies not in those constructs, but rather US. Our good and our evil are all over the place, since it is as abstract and as malleable to one’s perception as art.
Sure, you can say “laws are deemed to uphold moral values”… But that is not really true. Systems often uphold values that make the world most convenient and manageable, not necessarily purest.
As Black Adam said “Good and evil are not constants, but are defined by those with power”.
