When somebody is deemed the villain of a narrative, the viewers would not count on to be captivated by their phrases. They’re viewers are purported to cheer for his or her downfall, and nobody is meant to mourn the depraved. Nonetheless, villains have lackeys, those that consider their phrases sufficient to observe them, so there should be one thing in them that’s price following. There are tons of villains who weren’t solely proper in world, however for us the viewers. Although some have been extra shocking than others when put below a microscope.
In a thread on X (previously Twitter), film and TV present followers shared their scorching takes about which villains have been 100% proper. Some have been proper on the cash instantly, whereas others wanted some convincing. Even we touched on a few of these in our personal record of villains. Examples that have been right instantly? Magneto from X-Males.
- Magneto — man survived the Holocaust, noticed humanity repeat the identical hate with mutants, and mentioned “By no means once more.” Kinda had some extent. – @Qirelyth
- Magneto. His strategies have been excessive, however he was proper about humanity’s worry and oppression of mutants—historical past backed him up. – @Simplyzana
- Magneto was a 1000% right, he tried to seek out widespread floor with non-mutants and so they nonetheless tried to eradicate him and each different mutant on this planet. -@English_shamar
There are a number of occasions in X-Males ’97 the place a number of folks mentioned he’s proper, however I digress. A number of the villains wanted some convincing arguements and some receipts. These examples embody notables like The Darkish Knight‘s Joker, in addition to the MCU’s Thanos, Killmonger and even Ultron.
I’m personally offended that no person mentioned Valentine from Kingsman: The Secret Service. Samuel L Jackson’s efficiency was memorable as hell, and he had some genuinely good factors, however that’s a tangent for one more article. However of the record of villains given, one instantly stood out, and it stunned me not simply because they have been proper, however the sheer quantity of people that talked about him.
poor man was getting gaslit for the complete film when he was RIGHT https://t.co/EDVKdO3nZT pic.twitter.com/MVKY5OGRTDApril 23, 2025
Ken from Bee Film was the final particular person I anticipated to see right here, however no person was flawed to say him. Whereas sure, that is the humorous ha-ha meme film, followers on the thread have been fast to level out that he actually was the one sane particular person.
- Think about watching the life you constructed with the lady you like all begin to slip by means of your fingers, not in contrast to grains of sand, to a bee -@Suayrez
- This diva was gaslit into considering they have been loopy 😭 -@Vaebi3
- That’s not a villain however a sufferer. Rattling bee stole his gf and received him out of his own residence – @Sseebbaass222
Whereas it’s extremely seen as a humorous meme today; when you have been to rewatch Bee Film immediately, its comedy holds up and the animation isn’t horrible even by immediately’s requirements. However the Ken hate is unfounded: a bee sued the human race, brought on flowers to die due to lack of pollination, mounted the issue he brought on, and was rewarded quite a few occasions together with “stealing” Ken’s life.
To not point out, Vanessa was snubbing hanging out with him to spend time with a bee. And he acknowledged he was allergic and a sting may kill him, to which she continued to prioritize a bug’s life over his.
Bee Film plot apart, the dialogue of villains and whether or not or not they’re proper, is at all times attention-grabbing to see. It’s particularly attention-grabbing if you see some hidden gems no person actually talks about, or new angles that you simply didn’t actually consider earlier than. There are many villains with tragic/sympathetic backstories and ideologies, however one person put the entire dialog into a reasonably attention-grabbing perspective with which I do agree.
Villains are at all times proper (of their respective heads). It’s the battle of ideology. The widespread perception of what’s proper/flawed, makes the one hero or villain. -@Kohlliers
Perspective is all the pieces. If a villain is one that you could come to sympathize with, not to mention really agree with their ideologies however not the strategy, then meaning they’re a compelling character, if not a sensible one.
