ImDontai Reacts To In Defence Of Pure Evil Villian !

[@SavantPete]

Villains like Firelord Ozai and Sosuke Aizen are to be appreciated. Ozai was just evil because he had power and even Zuko talked about how stupid it would be to learn why he's evil. Aizen didn't want someone he didn't know to be in control of him. This is how you write villians

[@ThaRealOne436]

That’s not…..i think i get what you’re trying to say but listing they’re specific motivations is completely unrelated to how people should write villains

[@brothsipper-h5o]

There isn't a specific way to write villains, they could be pure evil or have a sad backstory or be manipulated or whatever but they just have to be good villains and well written.

[@izukuay]

its good that sympathetic villains and irredeemable villains both exist. depends on the story

[@Achieme]

I understand people not liking villains that are evil for the sake of being evil but I like pure Evil villains that know exactly what they're doing, they have a motive and they don't care like Frieza, Dio or Doflamingo

[@roshawnseeny2531]

Doflamingo does have a sad backstory in fact I think that one's pretty obvious

[@DsgSleazy]

Doflamingo’s family got packed by some bitch niggas when his dad was a straight up good person when he didn’t have to be, Freiza’s planet was raped, enslaved, and got packed, being a pos is also in his race’s DNA for 0 reason so it’s not like they chose to be that way, what are you talking about?

[@liluziintrovert]

The “hook was once a lost boy and Peter abandoned him” is actually like a popular “fan theory” of sorts and would of went hard if they made a good movie

[@areafurrynone1913]

Dontai needs to watch Puss in Boots 2. That shi was unironically one of the best movies that came out in 2022 and it got snubbed at the Oscars.

[@WooziiLive]

37:45 Dontai's joker impressions are really good he's should link with RDC and voice a villain in their new show fr

[@Azureneedle]

I was also thinking how awesome it would be to have him in makeup and dress up as the Joker for something like that. I'd watch it.

[@Skylander404]

Strawmanning has been so prevalent in every movie and show that's come out recently, and I've been shouting this from the rooftops to anyone who cared to listen. I was a creative writing major in college, and I encountered countless stories written using straw manning as the central feature. Now there is nothing wrong with chasing catharsis through building up an irredeemable villain and having that villain be absolutely decimated (though I would consider it kind of cheap writing), it's another issue entirely when you plug your own political/ social beliefs into it. It turns what could have been a compelling story into an irritating, self absorbed, narcissistic, preachy pile of smoldering garbage. It's wild to me that these are the stories that hollywood and major corporations are encouraging. No wonder the writer's guild is on strike if they are asking them to pump out this puke.

[@frombogue]

I love pure evil characters, not everyone needs a sad crybaby backstory or have this super complex end goal where they somehow manipulated everything from the start. Some characters can simply just be horrible humans or beings that can’t be reasoned with or intimidated. They don’t show any concern for human life and are a force to be reckoned with, that’s what makes them terrifying.

[@firstlast9846]

*Im low-key sick of* “I’m the hero of my own story” villains…. I wanna see a return to pure evil Ramsey Bolton, Hans Landa and Palpatine villains.. just pure evil characters with aspirations.

[@tylerbranch7524]

This is a good example of how the pendulum swings cuz the whole sympathetic villian shit was because ppl were complaining that villians have no depth and get no sympathy

[@youngrootv]

Palpatine is the best and my favorite evil villain. Bro manipulated a whole galaxy just because of how evil he is and was successful in the most brutal way for a very long time. He killed all his opps from every side. I like multidimensional villains too, but sometimes evil is just evil and it just works!

[@firstlast9846]

Palpatine clapped most of his enemies in a single night and took over the galaxy - easily one of the best villains ever

[@tuff360]

I definitely don’t think every villain needs to be the sympathetic type but I think the best ones are

[@FaysalIsGoated]

0:31 Ayyy the intro’s back!🔥

[@ANLATCHNOON]

One that can be held as the "Pure evil villain working in the story", has to be Judge Holden from the fictional western book, Blood Meridian. (Same author as no country for old men). Dude makes the joker look human in comparison. While joker is a man that became chaos incarnate; Holden was born as the war horsemen of the apocalypse. First scene of him, has him accuse a town priest of being a PDF; town turns against the priest, kills him, and later on at a bar when a character asked "How do you know he did that crime?" Holden simply says "He didn't", and laugh off the fact that he made a man of faith, into a public enemy, off a baseless accusation, and gotten him killed for it. This love to incite violence and war, doesn't stop there. Nor does it apply to only the men. Seriously great book. Audiobooks of it, are available even on YT.

[@theoofg4894]

you in the wrong comment section bro, you know the majority of dontai's fans can't read.

[@ANLATCHNOON]

@@theoofg4894 Which is why I suggest listening as an audiobook. "Read" the book like that myself. Mainly due to the fact that many have tried, and failed to adapt the book into a movie. Even Stanley Kubrick tried to adapt it, prior to him passing. The Richard Poe audiobook is well done, and what I went for.

[@filipvadas7602]

The big mistake writers make when writting pure evil villains is assuming that being evil is their one trait or that making them sympathetic is the only way to fix it. I mean, hell, lets go back to Sauron. Tolkien did give him an understandable motivation and a personality. Basically, he genuinely believes that he's doing the world a favor. He wants to create a world of pure efficiency by removing things that he percieves as needless and redundant. The problem however is that the things he sees as redundant are things such as honor, integrity, selflessness, humility, justice and love. This makes Sauron a more nuanced villain, but Tolkien was smart enough to not focus on this because it didn't remove the fact that he's still an evil s.o.b who needed to be defeated.

[@benzybtw]

Lmao dontai panicking about what to react to if everything on strike

[@Isaiah_Drake]

If you have a fundamental understanding of the music industry you’d understand a strike is damn near impossible. The way they pay artists producers writers engineers masterers and mixers as well as staff within each company you’d know nobody is going on strike. And with independent artist being a thing no the industry would never have a strike. If they were going to it would have happened decades ago

What’s hilarious about the remake of Peter Pan, is that originally the lost boys were all boys, because the boys were too stupid and playful and got lost, meanwhile the girls were smart enough to not get lost aka the original movie propped up girl’s intelligence.

[@LuminaryNarrations]

I think ai music is a good thing but it would be kinda cool ifthey could use the ai database to see where the AI learned from so that if you use a copyrighted song and used it for your own ai music. It could tell where you got it from and who the original artist is and then they get the rights to flag or take down if the song is based on their likeness since all the ai is doing is using an already online voice and then replicating it. So if we trace it back to what it originally replicated we could essentially allow ai artists to make music but give the original artist money and the ability to take it down if they so choose.

A couple things, I know my opinion doesnt matter in a grand scheme of things but I like to share my opinion and hear others opinions, Anyways, Music hasnt been unique in awhile, In my honest opinion it all sounds the same now adays, And i think its because people like the same simple thing, But when you take music and you spice it up, It makes it truly beautiful, Thats why i love 60s and 70s, It all sounds different, each band has its own sound. Now for the writers strikes, I think its about time, They dont pay those people enough, They are the backbone to all we love, And last, Movies havnt been very good lately especially disney, and its because they are trying so hard to relate to people, Thats not what movies are for, Movies are used to tell a story, When you add people in a movie, You dont have to rub it in the viewers face. Be smooth, Like the gay people at the end of Monster house, That was a good delivery
