10 Movies Where Every Character Thinks They're The Hero

[@LoveHandle4890]

“The villain is the hero of their own story.”

[@damianstarks3338]

True.

[@neekfenwick]

I agree, and this is why this list is quite boring to me. I struggled to continue as I like the channel but gave up at the Planet of the Apes bit. It's all a bit too obvious, just rehashing movie plots.

[@BMakabre]

There is a brilliant villain monologue in the classic Doctor Who episode "Pyramids of Mars" with the villain Sutehk (a powerful alien once worshiped in ancient egypt as the god Set) that states his belief. The Doctor (played by Tom Baker): "You use your powers for evil" Sutehk: "Evil? Your evil is my good. I am Sutehk the Destroyer. Where I tread I leave nothing but dust and darkness. I find that good."

[@jesperv.nielsen6090]

4:07 - Think you got a part of "Burn after reading" wrong. Osborne Cox is not filing for a divorce as far as I rememeber. I am pretty sure it is his wife who is filing for a divorce. The scene where he gets served in his club is actually quite legenday.

[@TorQueMoD]

Great selection man! Well done. This was a blast to watch :)

[@owie4070]

YUP. Gone Baby Gone is my top pick.

[@TarmenAmzarian]

Either version of The Ladykillers (1955 and 2004) should be on this list.

[@Justlov4]

Every character thinks they are the hero of their own story. That's what fuels motivations and actions. From an acting standpoint, you can't go in judging a character. I go in trying to understand what makes this person tick and what drives them. If you are the "villain" you don't go in thinking I am the viliain. You go in thinking that what you are doing is important and necessary even though from an objective view you might not be taking the most moral approach. Even every day life...you are the hero of your own story and life.

[@steveevans7805]

it was the taliban tapes that freaked me out. used to think terrorists were evil and knew it. the way they talked about being the good guys and fighting off the imperial army like star wars really freaked me out. no-one looks in the mirror and thinks they are the bad guys. even the cartels think theyre justified because theyre copying what happened to them from the US hit squads. people forget that america sent soldiers into south america to brutalise people to cause instability! paid and american trained soldiers, raping, abusing and murdering innocents purely to destablise anyone they didn't want too strong. its all public record now and the men who ordered it are generals and statesmen!

[@neekfenwick]

Not every character thinks this. Your point is better made by Based earlier, “The villain is the hero of their own story.” .. I suggest people go like and comment on that comment :)

[@Justlov4]

@@neekfenwick you're right. Not everyone thinks like this but people go off on their own thoughts feelings and motivations. If you feel strongly about something then you will most likely act on it. Someone else might not agree with your view and therefore you are wrong in someone else's eyes but not your own. Also yes I agree with what the other comment said. I basically elaborated on it. It's not a competition of comments. I merely putting my own thoughts down which some will agree with and some won't. People can like and comment on many different comments. Just like you have. 👍

[@austinhuber3131]

I'm so sick and tired of hearing that. It's hack advice for hack writers. In real life people know full damn well that they aren't the hero and simply don't care, don't believe heroes even exist, or hate heroes and oppose them out of spite. If everyone thought they were a hero, that would dumb down all of humanity and their motivations, wouldn't it? Yet that would be very easy for mediocre writers, wouldn't it?

[@shantshafwhaanjulius]

Honestly all of these was just spot on

[@Jobe00]

In Marvel comics and movies, anytime the U.S. government goes against Steve Rogers, Rogers is correct. Every. Single. Time.

[@jordanvictoria5]

He was wrong this time. Just like in the DC universe the Justice League creator a tower that protects the world but no one from earth was apart of the Tower that’s why Amanda Waller and others saw it as a threat. But even if you don’t think that his decision and everyone’s blind faith that this man is right every single time broke the Avengers.

[@michaeljohnson6905]

Famous words from Tony Stark: Why does he always have to be right

[@michaeljohnson6905]

​@@jordanvictoria5 nope lol He's not wrong. He actually points out what everyone else misses: that the accords would mean the governments could assign them to attack at a whim and remove their autonomy

[@jasonjones2329]

Well you don't expect the government to ever be wrong do ya? 😮

[@onlyme219]

This one was a really good one. More, please 👍

[@Lullalies]

Smokin' Aces has the best music score, especially at the ending acene.

[@dbl007will]

Feast (2005) is the best movie where everyone thinks they’re the hero!

[@alm2187]

One scene in which every actor thought he was playing the villain: isn't it true the director of The Usual Suspects told every man in the lineup scene that he was secretly Keyser Söze?

[@God-ld6ll]

Real life is probably, considering the intent is always able to pave the road to hell. Regardless it being good, bad, heroic, to oneself, to other, etc inclusively.

[@jordanvictoria5]

Drago was a great villain! If he wasn’t Rocky’s win at the end wouldn’t have been so satisfying. The was such a nice movie. So glad that Rocky and his son reconnected.

[@alyzu4755]

The first "Rambo" was so good and so interesting. The rest...

[@RandomAnonamo]

This particular background music is really grating and distracting with the high pitch notes.

[@stevekirkpatrick1612]

Going out on a limb to say that nobody in history has ever thought they themselves were the villain. Most especially those folks who are widely viewed as the worst in history.

[@kyneanderson5851]

Not true. Some people actually relish being the villain. Going against societal norms and being bad just to be bad. They know they are bad and enjoy it. They want to be the villain protagonist.

[@Evs78101]

The ending to Smokin Aces was so great. Reynolds pulling the plug while his boss watches. Just a big middle finger to him for making him a pawn

[@javib2978]

Gone Baby Gone. Amanda's mother, is the ture villain all along. Good thing Amanda got a step mother. I don't find this as disgraceful, but rather dealing with grief.

[@javib2978]

No, Amanda's mother. Is not a victim in the story. Despite being sympathetic, she is a true villain and a heartless one.

[@javib2978]

Gone Baby Gone. The child named Amanda. Has the most good heart in the film's story. No moral ambiguity.

[@javib2978]

To me, everyone in Gone Baby Gone has sympathy views. Amanda's mother on the hand, is the most evil character in the film.

[@liloiax22]

1:07- ...and that's the movies🎬 1st of 2 endings lol How many people thought that the movie🎬 was going to end right after Batman and the Riddler had their little conversation inside of Arkham Asylum? I did, that's for damn sure lol ...but _"NOPE",_ the movie had a whole other set piece that took place inside of Gotham Square Garden to show us with the Riddler's followers/goons and the flooding before it was actually all over with haha

[@everlenaoliver6912]

Good list.

[@MrNYC-2]

The Rundown. You have an archeologist doing archeology, rebels rebelling, a business man providing jobs, locals over-throwing, bounty hunter dealing with an unruly child and trying to buy his way to a normal life, and even the father is trying to right a wrong done by his son. And of course the pilot, who is in fact the main hero.

[@MonolithBrookshadow]

Can't say I agree with first blood. He created an entire hunting party to go kill that man. He knew what he was doing, he knew he wasn't a hero. That was his own ego

[@tobiasmyers3505]

If a prisoner breaks out of jail, the cops do not consider themselves villains for pursuing them. The posse is not shown details of how the prisoner was abused by the jailors.

[@MonolithBrookshadow]

@@tobiasmyers3505 they weren't instructed to simply bring him in. The cops for whatever reason were very literally out for blood just for dude escaping. It was extremely weird.

[@MrNYC-2]

Fool's Gold. One of the characters, when accused of being a side-kick, literally says "I don't think of myself that way. I am the lead character in my own story."

[@liloiax22]

Who else can't wait for that supposed _"The Penguin"_ series on HBOMax? I'm just super curious if what it'll actually be about ...anybody else feel the same way about the apparent spin-off streaming service show from _"The Batman"?_

[@chefdean7257]

I've always known I was the villain of every story.

[@sonablom]

Interesting list but I just couldn't get through it. The music is so loud and out of place. Doesn't fit with the narration ar all.

[@dthomas4566]

[@alm2187]

Remind me at 1:11 what cling wrap has to do with their terroristic intentions? They plan to blow up the flood wall and then get together for a nice potluck? 😜

[@alm2187]

I haven't seen Burn After Reading. How do blackmailers convince themselves such behavior is any kind of heroism?

[@ler3434]

Sheer stupidity

[@sheboyganshovel5920]

I refuse to answer. Being the hero of this story, this is my clever way of forcing you to watch an excellent movie.

[@dstigers6140]

When morally ambiguous people see a wrong that will likely be gotten away with or if exposed simply cause total ruin, they are either taking the pound of flesh or a savior, for a fee.

[@ZacxOff]

Ummmm, no. Not at all. Many, many characters know they are the bad guy and enjoy the fact that they are.

[@timleber2257]

Tony Stark was clearly in the wrong in Civil War. The core of his conflict with Steve is that Bucky killed his parents. Yeah, mind controlled out of any shred of humanity Bucky. Tony should have known better.

[@ScarlaPhi]

Tony didn't know about his parents' murder until they watched that video in Siberia. And then the first thing Steve does is try to justify it. The conflict until that point was Tony trying to get the Avengers to play by some type of rules and Steve trying not to be a dancing monkey again.

[@aidzo5999]

Tony literally just learned that, in that scene. Expecting him to properly and fully process that kind of news the moment he hears it, is very naive

[@gmlgml780]

Yeah. Everybody thinks they're the hero. And even those who don't they're just a bit more clever. They still wish to be the hero. And all sides are just sides. Even the darker sides are just sides. Nobody chose to end up on any side. We are just gotten there. 'Cause we all are just the slaves of this universe. And that's why the universe must be destroyed. No, not only brought to its knees. Totally destroyed. Annihilated, terminated, vanished. Fkng ended. We don't have to realize the one. There can be only none.
