If you think about it, Robbie Rotten is technically a very nuanced hero. His ideology of being lazy and his talents that have follow with that makes us see him in the same light that we see Sporticus. Sporticus being so physically talented that he's literally the sports god of Lazy town looking down on its people. Robbie is painted as the Satan of Lazy Town, living underground in his dark depressing room despising the people above. But the thing about Robbie is that he doesn't genuinely hate these kids for not exercising, he hates them for being unable to truly understand him. Even when Lazy Town is Lazy, its not acknowledging Robbie. But Robbie despite that fact, still pursues to make Lazy Town more Lazy so that he can truly have friends. He is obsessed about this, to the point that he has demoralized himself and become Robbie Rotten. He does have low stamina and physical strength, which makes him unable to participate with Sportacus' ideals of fun. But the thing about him is that he could easily have been the hero. He is excellent in talents, which some of the people in Lazy Town do have. Robbie just happened to choose the wrong path in his life and suffers for it. So while Sportacus and Robbie do seem like they are harming each other, its really life forcing the other or even on its own whim doing damage to the other. These two are comically exaggerated figures who just want to be simple people, but stand in the way of each other by what they think will earn the town's trust. Which is not the people's fault as they have been shown to like both Robbie and Sporticus, but what we view as good and evil, even in things that have no real moral goundings.

I once had a professor tell me that the main character of my story was too "reactionary" and that the villain was the one actually doing anything... but considering it was the first three chapters of what was planned to be a novel (and that she hadn't even actually met the villain yet, just his underlings stirring shit up to get the story going), I wish I could have told her "no shit, Sherlock". Not to mention, it was a fantasy novel, a genre which she herself admits she doesn't particularly like aside from George R. R. Martin (and even that was because she was tired of waiting between seasons of Game of Thrones). I had the urge to tell her to pick up and read Lewis, Tolkein, or Robert Jordan if she wanted to actually have her critiques of what she considered "good fantasy" taken seriously. Reading one good fantasy series does not make you an expert on fantasy.

Swiper the fox is actually one of the most scariest yet relatable anime villain. Like Loki he is constantly switching sides in most episodes he is the villain however there are episodes where he is not. For me at least I think Swiper the fox does not actually want to steal. If you say to a criminal "criminal stop stealing" he obviously does not listen but I think whenever Swiper heres the phrase he is wondering to himself whether stealing is the right thing to do so there are time where he steals and times where he does not. For me I think during his childhood he suffered racist insults because he is the only character that does not speak spanish and in spain foxes are more dark. He was forced to go to the woods and became a stealer when his parents died because we never see another fox in the episode. He is always wondering in what side he has to choose. If he knew the right decision to do he would have been a good guy.

So much agreed. In my experience, writing a real villain is really as simple as figuring out how the story would work if written from the villain's perspective. As a writer, you get to see how ridiculous it is for someone to do that all the time, even a fictional character.I've worked with a lot of school-age stories and telling the story from the bully's perspective always allowed me to flesh out all those little insecurities and personality nuances that I don't really think about when I'm focusing on why my character's life is miserable because of them. Making a real villain was so much more rewarding though, and it often offered me the chance to do things with the story that I wouldn't have thought of, including, in some cases, redeeming my villain because they're not actually terrible, they're just human, and I figured that out along with the main character

Holy shit the ''make America great again'' killed me. Also i want to say, my favourite thing in ficcion has to be when the main character works as the villain of the story, with the good guys being the antagonist. Or when a main character is not symphatetic at all. Preety much why Meruem is one of the best antagonist ever.

[@nfmaster4851]

I often referr to Ulquiorra as a ''prototype Meruem''.....sadly no one gets what I mean

[@zennim125]

wait, didn't meruem came first? i sincerely don't know but i also think they are very different characters, meruem is very inconsistent, most of his scenes are structured not to make sense of him, but to give cheap surprises, cheap subversions, cheap twists of his character. that being said i really like how he turned out, even if is something out of the blue, and could be done better, he is still a good character ulquiorra is a goth, he is the embodiment of nihilims and that make sense, he is imortal, he have no ambition, and until orihime, he was not able to notice nuance, a character with high perception, but that wasn't able to understand subjectivity, he is consistent, even if not that original.

[@nfmaster4851]

Lucas Melo I think they are infact pretty similar. Both start out as beasts, with no sense of morality. Granted, Meruem had a god complex and Ulquiorra was just emotionless. Both were not reluctant to kill someone though, and kind of started to look for purpose. They both found a human girl that showed them the core of the human heart through their actions though, and they both learned that they themselves are human somewhere. And in the moment that they realized this exact fact, they ceased to exist, coming to the conclusion that they were never meant to be human. You are right in that they both represent different schools of philosophy, but from their characterization and structure, they were both really similar. I wouldn't go as far as saying Ulquiorra is boring oe unoriginal, quiet the contrary - everytime I am asked what Bleach did right in its long time running, I always mention Ulquiorra's character. I would say he was truly superb, even if Meruem was superior (though he only way because of the paralel developement he underwent with Gon - that was fantastic).

Two things make or break a villain: reasoning and levity. You can have the greatest villain, but if their motives are shitty it just becomes bland. Take Askin from Bleach for example, he isn't evil all he wants to do is watch what will become of the world after Yhwach destroys it. That is interesting and makes him feel more real compared to per say Frieza archetype of "ohh look how evil I am". (Cell is the best DBZ villain) Levity also plays an important factor. I'm gonna bash on Frieza again. During Ressurection F Frieza is there to destroy earth. However not only has he been defeated 4-5 times now, the God of Destruction and his tenant are there, basically making any threat he does null. On the flip side you have someone like Aizen. Not only did he blitz the entire Gotei 13, but he also just casually survives Yama and stops Ichigo's, literally the only guy who's immune to Aizen, sword with his finger (again). Then there's someone like Beerus who will destroy the Earth if Goku loses. Those two are good examples of levity.

[@Francis-ht5td]

I always thought freeza was overrated

[@MrDp115]

StormSurge to be fair Frieza is portrayed to be an arrogant narcissists who sees himself as superior to everyone because he's so much more powerful and has control over dozen of planets, that's his character (this is weird if you've seen the recent arc of Dragon Ball Super).

[@Finkster5]

I disagree with this notion that a villain has to have this very complex motivation or plan to be a good villain, and that Freiza isn't one. Frieza isn't complex, he isn't sympathetic, but in a way I do feel like he's relatable, like SEW said. The dude has personality. He's arrogant and haughty like a lot of anime villains sure, but seeing how much thought he puts into his mockery and how much he enjoys his own perceived superiority makes him feel unique (I also feel like he was probably a model for a lot of anime villains going forward, ones that dropped some of the nuances). I like that he's this small, weird little alien dude who despite not being a handsome long haired Final Fantasy character thinks he's so much better than you, and despite not seeming like the type he's surprisingly articulate. The contradictions are interesting. Plus, once you break through that arrogance he's got all this rage that seems to stem directly from his superiority complex. That you'd dare defy him and actually make him break a sweat are things that'd get him really riled up, maybe because it shows him he's not in as control quite as much as he thought. Frieza gloats and luxuriates in his disdain for you, but he also gets mad, frustrated, scared--he's got a range of emotions that are not just 'evil dude'.

I love this video. I'm a big Berserk (and YYH) fan and love taking about Griffith as a character. I love that despite starting as and ending up as enemies, Guts and Griffith truly need and truly love one another during the Golden Age. They are at once so different and so alike- both suffering through hard childhoods, surviving sexual assault, becoming master fighters, and feeling that their origins hold them back... And Casca rounds out the trinity with similar traits as well. It's beautiful. A shift really begins when Griffith asks Guts to b kill a political enemy and Guts accidentally kills the man's young, neglected, and abused son as well. What I adore about Griffith is that he's so fucking relatable, he's split the fandom.

[@danielshore1457]

I hate how in the later arcs that you can easily see how guts can be a bad guy and how Griffith can be the good guy. Like of we didn't know about the eclipse we could all think Griffith was the hero.

Don't you just love it when people confuse Kira with a shitty character who shares the same name?Go watch or wryd JoJo,the Kira in that show could also make Death Note's Kira his bitch.

[@Diwasho]

Both Kiras are good for different reasons.

[@inferno0020]

Since you have reviewed Kaiji, i think the villain writing of that show offers something even better. All their villains are over-the-top but have elements of realism in them. I think the key is that the creator knows what their villans are and what role they play in the story.

Rewatching berserk, Griffith's actions were not really that uncalled for. It was his ambition. The same ambition that brought so many people to him, was the same ambition that killed almost all the people brought to him.

[@mezmezzy1870]

He wasn't a complete sociopath, if I recall correctly, before recruiting Guts, he says "I will pick the place you die". Throughout his time at BotH, he always looked out for his people, he even cared for Guts and Casca. Hell, the main reason he became the mess he needed to sacrifice everyone to fix was because he wanted Guts back but was too proud to admit it so he distracted himself. When the choices came forward, he was given 2 choices, his dream or his men. But other than that, he was also shown the mountain of corpses that had already accumulated to achieve his goal. "Death of 1 a tragedy, death of many a statistic" held true for that. He was desensitized before the final decision. So when he made the call, it was either what brought everyone to him, or everyone that was fighting for him. Given he could get more men, and does, and the fact that he was desensitized was the final nail on the coffin for his army. He picked what HE stood for, and if these men were already willing to die for him, then was the time they were going to do it.

[@emetanti]

the interesting thing is that Griffith especially during the Golden Age Arc had the characteristic of a typical protagonist, unlike Guts, who lacked it: a actual goal to work towards. it´s a rather interesting twist on the concept with the Protagonist being the guy that follows, instead of as so often, leading.

[@aurourus6894]

And how could he refuse getting a new body and having his dream come true?

[@1010ZZZ1010]

I'm not totaly agree with that. He is overly ambitions, cynical and arrogant on surface but my main point is what we deal with in the end of arc is not so much Griffith alredy. For me Griffith died long before that in dungeon. In my opinion what is we deal this is broken shadow of him with not much sanity left if any. It not justifity it actions in any way but I think to base overal jugiment about his person on this is not totaly fair.

[@TheGoogergieger]

Johan from Monster is one of my favorites. Griffith is brilliant though. They do such a great job of showing him hit rock bottom. Beyond that even. The most beautiful man in the world, who accomplished his goals, only to throw it away because he felt slighted by Guts. Physically tortured. Spiritually and emotionally broken. So pathetic he can't even kill himself. Of course he would sacrifice everyone to get it all back. You still hope Guts will finally kill him some day though.

[@jobdylan5782]

At that point I'd sacrifice anyone too. It's either die yourself, live in a broken body, or throw your subordinates under the bus. I have strange mixed feelings about the character (8=====D) but he's pretty objectively a bad person despite being understandable.

[@dadonutinator]

gotta admit I felt sorry for him before his sacrifice; he got tortured almost to death for months just for consensual sex with the princess, who held no grudge against him...

[@alexalex-mk9is]

Yah he’s great, I would also add Makishima to this list.

[@danielshore1457]

@@dadonutinator well in the manga it shows the reason why the king got him tortured (sorry to be one of those guys especially if you have read it)

[@lutherasmodeus2750]

@@danielshore1457 You mean the King's trying to keep the royal bloodline pure? I've read the manga before too and he's one freaking psycho

[@george-qz9un]

I really, really, love your videos like this one where you analyze different works, characters, and ideas, and look at what works, what doesn't, and how these different decisions in building a character or story affect things. As a comic creator who writes and draws their own comics, I learn a lot from your videos and they provide me many different perspectives I can take when creating my own characters or story. Keep up the good work!

I'm so glad you brought up Senator Armstrong. Even though the MGS series is popular in the gaming community, (granted Metal Gear Rising isn't technically an MGS game) I rarely see people talk about how great Armstrong is. Throughout the entire game you only see a glimpse of Senator Armstrong before the final encounter. Somehow Armstrong is so memorable as a villain while having barely any screen time. His character is so absurd and makes the finale so much fun. He changed the tone of the game drastically and when he kicked Raiden a sound effect of an audience cheering played. Armstrong has so much style and at the same time he is intimidating as a boss. Seeing him break Raiden's sword and not even flinch as Raiden desperately punches Armstrong in JoJo fashion was stunning. His appearance in Jetstream Sam's DLC was no disappointment either. I wish his character was more present throughout the game but damn do I remember every moment with Armstrong. Also thanks for another great video.

[@fredrickbutts2392]

Chap Nobody wants to talk about because he took forever to beet and is cheap as fuck even with sam's sword.

[@chap1043]

Fredrick Butts I had trouble fighting Armstrong the first time I fought him. That's only because I didn't know how to avoid certain attacks and I failed the QTEs multiple times. If you know how to dodge his attacks and know the QTEs his fight can be a breeze. I don't think his fight is necessarily cheap. If anything I would say that QTEs are the only cheap thing since it's easy to mess up and they can show up without you expecting it. I can't recall how long the fight took so I searched for a video of the final stage of the boss fight. The video I watched was called, "Metal Gear Rising: Final Boss HD" and the fight without cut scenes was about 5 minutes. It definitely took longer for me since the youtuber in the video almost perfected the fight. So I would say the fight probably takes 5-10 minutes. I can see how the fight can take awhile if you don't know what to do. I think it took me awhile too the first time I fought him. Now that I think about it Super Eyepatch Wolf needs to do a video on boss fights.

[@android19willpwn]

he played college ball, you know

[@chap1043]

Android 19 Don't forget the nanomachines, son.

[@KotoCrash]

Honestly I dont think he shouldve been in more of the game. The entire time your thinking "Oh hes the evil bad guy pulling the strings. He just wants to make money. Oh hes the final boss in a giant spider? Thats all it is then" Then he pops out of the spider, turns into a badass and starts lecturing Raiden on insane shit (The fact some of the stuff he says you can actually agree with is a nice touch)

[@smashingapple9881]

Toguro was a health buff bruh.. of course he would prefer orange juice over alcohol

[@metaflux2]

I guess that's what gives his character depth, the radical dedication in his commitment to health and fitness which is used as a craft for murder.

[@UnsettlingSun]

Thats the point. It gives him more depth.
