Re: Favorite villain tropes

[(Anonymous)]

I notice I tend to like the good guy who was fucked over and gave up on everything, clinging only to revenge and their need to hurt others the way they've been hurt. And of course, when something happens during the course of the story that makes them question their path, something that appeals to the good side of them, and they realize deep down they're still capable of kindness and courage. And that drives them to be a better person or something along those lines, I guess. Redemption stories, I guess.

But... it has to be done well, and with great care. There are villains I couldn't care about even though they fell under this category.

I also take interest in the villain who's just irrevocably fucked up and evil to the core. I obviously wouldn't want to know someone like that IRL, but I kind of like it when the writers push the envelope, not just for shock value, but to spell out just how fucked up the villain really is. I especially like it when we get to hear their backstory.

But again, it must be done well. I don't care for villains who just ramble on about garbage that we're just supposed to accept, even though their motives are poorly explained, or they're just half-assing everything in such a boring way. If they're gonna have the upper hand, it had better not be for a lame reason.

I love a well-done redemption story. But yes, it has to be well-done and it has to actually work. Don't just tell me the character is now redeemed, actually show it.
