Yeah, Umbridge is way more interesting to me than Voldemort. The romanticization of evil just really creeps me out, honestly. I mean, I get it, people want to believe that folks wouldn't do such heinous things unless they had some kind of understandable reason... but a lot of the time, no, it's just some pathetic schmuck with their head up their ass.

I guess by tacky and tawdry, I don't mean how they look or dress so much as the behaviors they perform. They don't inspire awe or "oh crap" moments, so much as disgust. Like, "Really? All the things you could've done, and you do THAT?"

It's true, some people can hide it. But pretty much all the most horrible people I've personally run afoul of, people KNEW they were creepy. They had documented lists of horrible behavior, and it took an army of supporters and people turning a blind eye to allow it to continue, because nobody actually wanted to admit someone they liked could be that heinous.

Thing is, you can't really romanticize a hero without romanticizing the villain. Sweeping, world-altering acts of heroism need an opposing force that's just as grand in scale to match them, and a lot of people need world-altering heros. They're not really realistic, on either side, but they're interesting - and sometimes it's a lot easier to watch their struggle than to watch something that just serves as a reminder of how many vile, banal little shits are out there.

That's fair. I admit, I tend to enjoy heroes and villains alike when it's more on a small everyday scale.
