Pls don't post my wife in this shithole

Sometimes the bad guys are just objectively cooler

>>36709636
Because antagonists always had interesting backstories, development arcs, and motives. The hero was usually "I'm gonna do the right thing! Everybody loves me and its my destiny!"

Just embrace your edge. It's fun.

The deck is always stacked against the bad guy, and for no good reason. Like, Lux Luthor is intelligent and he's amassed this fortune, but then this bullshit Mary Sue comes along with his rule-breaking powers and thwarts all his hard work. Or Wile E Coyote, that poor fucker just wants to eat: he's a carnivore and the only damned thing to eat for miles and miles around is this roadrunner, but despite all his ingenuous plans and hard work the laws of the universe just conspire to fuck him over at every turn.

there's nothing that makes you edgy or unique about being a kid who thinks the bad guys were cooler. like half of everyone did it. stop trying to psychoanalyze yourself using 4chan terminology while posting le edgy goth homura on /r9k/ it's fucking embarrassing

There is no life without story.
There is no story without conflict.
There is no conflict without villainy.
Every person is a villain at heart, in the interest of their own narratives.
A villain is proactive and cunning.
A hero is reactive and neutralizing.
So writers write better villains as a matter of course.
And readers love them naturally as the reason for existence.

well, there is My Neighbor Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service

>>36710511
Totoro is about the troubles of no mother and then discovering a maternal figure in nature itself.
The villain could be considered an existential concept.
That's why it's a boring and crappy movie.

Kiki is about the troubles of being a young witch without the foreknowledge of the sexual basis of wicca and then the friction of being a clumsy example of your kind in normieville.
As before, the villain is existential and conceptual.
And also is a boring and crappy movie.

Who knew r9k might write something worthwhile.
