A villain to me is someone who actively seeks to hurt someone or does things for his own gain.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
'Villain' is such a harsh word.
Sometimes someone that is the 'villain' in your life, when you look deeper and you think of what their issues are and why they behave like that and where they came from - they become less of a villain and more of someone that you can understand.
I understand being the villain is what people like. People play to that. They want to know about the villain.
In reality, there are very few villains who view themselves as villains. They just have a certain agenda at a certain time.
In any story, the villain is the catalyst. The hero's not a person who will bend the rules or show the cracks in his armor. He's one-dimensional intentionally, but the villain is the person who owns up to what he is and stands by it.
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.
I like villains because there's something so attractive about a committed person - they have a plan, an ideology, no matter how twisted. They're motivated.
I'm not a villain, I've never hurt anyone. I'm just a tawdry character who explodes now and again.
If someone has to be the villain, I'll be the villain. I have no problem with it. The movies still say, 'Starring... the villain.'
That's not a villain, that's a man whose a victim of being in love with the wrong one.
