And now with the book of bill we find out that gavity falls is a universe with up the rear amount of luck that they are the only universe with a good ending

Actually bill has made someone go insane sorta when they looked at him. Mcgucket saw bill when he was eating

Things change Stanford pines things change…

1:01 Society does not create villains. What makes you a villain is how you choose to respond to pain.

TVtropes uses the term "Lovecraft Lite" for stories that use concepts inspired by cosmic horror but in a context wherein the eldritch beings can be defeated

1:08 whats the film name?

Thought you might Add Amon from Korra as well. Really well written and with good points. But classically takes things too far

All villains are like " Eren from AOT" growing up hating the one that killed his dreams and ended up the one to be called a "villain" cuz just you wanted to live beyond the walls with your friends normally.

7:17 howls moving castle is one of my favorite movies of all time.

It simply isn't about you, or about the words you're reading. Yet, that is all you will ever have, until it isn't. You are a finite rebellion against eternity.

Apocalypse Now - when Sheen's character encounters Col. Kurt, there is a series of clips in which Kurtz 'explain.s' things. Worth a listen.

Dracula did nothing wrong. He even gave the humans a chance by telling them to leave the place where she was burned in a year. Instead, they were celebrating her death like it was a party.

I envy your wisdom

i would be most scared if the being from centaurland showed up in a dark ally

Something that I think is a really cool detail is that at around 1:40 when they start talking about death in the last wish the music in the background is dance macabre which is about the all conquering and equalizing power of death

A villain is wronged and hates, the hero is wronged and loves despite it.

The talk of different perspectives on things and the story of Sisyphus reminds me of a quote I heard, "For even in the story of Sisyphus there is the chance to find a hero. Because the difference between an indomitable hero and a tragic victim is one has hope and the other despair. And it all rest in the mind of Sisyphus." I don't recall where I heard it and probably not completely accurate but gets the point across. So many things are a matter of perspective. As the same thing can happen to multiple people but those who get back up and push forward in hope after such events we see as heroes. While those who use that pain and anger to lash out at the world seeking to cause pain we see as villains. And lastly those who retreat into despair closing off from the world we see as victims.

I really appreciated the views in this video, I don't quite agree with the points pro Silco but you added some good points. Silcos points were entirely for self gain rather than the good of Zaun. If he really cared he wouldn't have flooded the streets with shimmer. Regardless I appreciate the time and effort put into it, it was well put and put together. Nice Job!

Thanos: are you sure about that

Very thought provoking response to villains' points of view. I like how you described how much our views of what is and who is good and bad fall on what information we perceive. So much can change based on what we know and limits (how much is too much). We can't have the good if we don't understand the bad. We all have a reason, and understanding the villains' reasons help us understand if they truly are villains. I really enjoyed your video essay. Keep it up.

“You need to stop watching cartoons and watch adult shows” Do they got eldritch horror?

Watched this video for the 10th time. Still a great analysis video. More success, more power to ya!

One of the best opening for me, that I've found this channel. The video essay is very cool. 🔥🔥🔥

I haven’t watched the video to the end, but I want to share my opinion (maybe it will change by the end) Unfortunately, we humans like seeing things too radically, almost in black and white. And while its true that it applies to seeing villains as fully evil *for the most part*, I also don’t like the idea of calling a villain “right” just because what they oppose isn’t ideal. Even with example that are used in the video. Take Tai Lung. Sure, its obviously unjust that his potential was ruined and his life was destroyed just because of a prophecy nobody had any reason to believe. But at the same time, its Tai Lung’s fault that he became an evil monster. The world is always unjust and unequal but its not a good justification of being evil and ruining other people’s lives. In the end, its Tai Lung who made the choice to turn to evilness, to let his bad sides rule make up his whole existence. If you don’t agree, just look at Tigress from the same movie. What exactly separates her backstory from Tai Lung’s? She is also a skilled warrior, she has also devoted her whole life to the idea of becoming a dragon warrior, just to also be unjustly robbed out of the role. But unlike Tai Lung, she found a way to move on, to figure out a way forward and found a way to help people, even if her own dreams were crushed.

Dr.doof parents not being there for his birth has me dying laughing right now 🤣🤣

Add Carl Hanratty (Catch Me If You Can) to the list. Because Frank Abagnale Jr was a fake cheque conman who needed to be stopped. And Carl was right to chase him down.

Um. Man. These guys are tame compared to what Courage goes through

5:19 Bill Ciphers yellow triangle bod is actually just an exoskeleton. It's theorized that when McGucket went through the portal he saw Bills true form and thats what caused him to go insane.

Me watching this after finished AOT: 😳

the only difference between a hero and a villain in all of this are those who lost and who won

Missed out on doing Char Aznable

Then they are not Villians Re-access the protagonists, react accordingly.

I think Miguel is shown to be somewhat wrong in multiple ways, one being that no one really questioned what the logistics of "canon events" are, it's also shown canon events can be easily subverted, preventing the need to let someone die. Plus Miguel in a lot of media has been shown to play it safe and not question things too much, making him stubborn and short sided while thinking of the "bigger picture"

Belos is like a beholder, a lovecraftian monster with the personality of the actual hp lovecraft!

Villians in Legend of Korra and in my opinion Thanos are great examples of, the villian was right, but I don't approve of your methods. In Thanos' case his planet literally goes extint without his intervention giving him all the proof he needs that he is right that populations need clipping to save the many. The villians in Korra want to rebalance the world spiritually, Politically, and then globally through the different spiritual connections in the show, corrupt officials needing to be replaced, and sense of lost unification in the Earth Kingdom following 100 years of war and another few decades of "occupation." But in all these cases their way of doing these things are a swing too far in the other direction and that's what makes the villians lose the audience.

Absolutely agree about Kung Fu Panda. ...it should've ended like Kung Fu Hustle, instead of the ending completely missing the point of the Kung Fu philosophy. "What kind of move was that?!" "If you want to learn, I'll teach you."

captain hook and peterpan

That’s why I love aot. Eren isn’t the hero or villain. He’s just a human, just making his own decisions informed by his environment.

i’m so tired of people saying miguel isn’t right THE FIRST MOVIE THEY ALL SAY “you can’t save everyone” infinite amount of spidermen telling spiderman is supposed to lose people with proof. for the love of everything holy INDIAN SPIDERMAN UNIVERSE WAS DESTROYED CAUSE THEY SAVED SOMEONE THEY WERENT SUPPOSED TO. anyone with the slightest bit of comic spiderman knowledge KNOWS miles is wrong for risking a universe for one person. spiderman would NEVER sacrifice everyone for his own personal happiness.

TRUMP 2024

what about thanos

Interesting how one of the mentioned limitations on how eldritch horrors can be bested by kids was an arc in Stephen King's IT

I am not entirely sure if this was actually mentioned in the comments, however, Sisyphus probably wasn’t the best example to use in this part of the video as the act of forever pushing the boulder up the mountain, only to have it inevitably roll down again was a punishment given to him by Zeus for being an evil tyrant. In some myths he thought of himself as being more intelligent than the Gods themselves, which is why he continues to push the boulder up the mountain. He truly believes he can do it. His story was supposed to be a cautionary tale about hubris. Doofensmirts just seems like someone who is trying to make the best of a horrible hand that life dealt him. Sure, he makes awful awful plans that are foiled by the secret agent Perry, but I don’t see how Sisyphus’s punishment, again which was inflicted upon him for either being a tyrant or because he thought of himself more intelligent than the gods themselves, would be a good comparison.

If you liked Beowulf, the book of Grendel is a masterpiece

Some things in this video remind me of Master Asia from the anime of Mobile Fighter G Gundam. After listening to why he sided with the Dark Gundam, I realized just how wrong we humans have been. It's not that we're all evil and must be destroyed. It's that we must strike a balance with our world - and that includes other humans as well. Pride, Avarice and becoming a social and economic entity unto itself are some of our greatest fallacies. We should only want more so that we have more to give. Then give more, so that the world has more to offer you.

I felt that with stain of my hero academia it gave goosebumps

Honestly stuff like Adventure Time, Courage The Cowardly Dog, Over The Garden Wall, and Coraline all really fucked with my head, and they still do not because I can't handle horror, i listen to the Magnus archives and used to fall asleep to the something scary series, which actually the something scary series did fuck with my head, i still have intrusive thoughts about a few of them, but the point is I like horror stories and stuff, it's just the visual horror really severely fucks me up, especially because I have really bad nightmares and intrusive thoughts and sometimes I hallucinate, sooo- funnily enough I was totally fine with Gravity Falls and The Owl House though

You're conflating "understandable motives" with "righteous". These villains are understandable and we have sympathy for them, but they are, to a one, wrong and ultimately unjustified in the actions they take. There might be villains out there who were right in what they did, but none of these are them.

Kung Fu Panda 1 plot be like: “we understand your child has sociopathic tendencies, so we are going to hard bait them with a trip to Disney world and then cancel at the last second”

Last airbender is about fighting an eldritch being huh. News to me
