RE: What Makes a Great Villain in Fiction?

in #fiction7 years ago

I think the world doesn't know what evil looks like.

Our movie villains are the town bully, or the asshole.

A true villain looks like Hitlery Klinton.
Where half of a nation voted for her.
While she took money to help out a storm torn country and used it instead to traffic children.

She says one thing to one group, and another thing to another, to get them angry at each other. She manipulates everyone and may be incapable of telling the truth.

But, if you tried to use Hitlery as a villian, half of the audience wouldn't get it.
If you tried to show her lying, and manipulating sides, it would take up all the movie, and most people still wouldn't see her as the bad guy.

She and her husband are the reason why there is a possibility of a nuclear war. Without them selling fissionable materials and missile technology...
