To steal a term from one of my Twitter followers, 'Deathlok' is the 'anti-villain.' He's on the side of the bad guys, but he obviously doesn't want to be there.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A villain to me is someone who actively seeks to hurt someone or does things for his own gain.
'Villain' is such a harsh word.
I always thought it would be really fun to play a villain. I feel like I haven't done that yet. Not an anti-hero, not someone who is flawed, but somebody who is just straight-up bad.
Villains are meant to be hated.
I think 'Voldemort' is definitely the scariest villain.
I understand being the villain is what people like. People play to that. They want to know about the villain.
The bad guy in any good storytelling is always, in some weird way, a mirror for your hero's journey and for the challenges that they are facing and is some weird physical externalization of that fear that the character is holding onto and has to overcome.
It's as boring to see a completely evil villain as it is to see a completely good guy.
I am always loath to use the world 'evil,' but if 'evil' is the reverse of 'live,' Guy de Rothschild is thoroughly evil. He stands for the opposite of life.
That's not a villain, that's a man whose a victim of being in love with the wrong one.
