they knew exactly what they were doing when they made the villain so goddamn hot
"Sure she has done a genocide or two but look at that rack!" - Esdeath fans
- Vegeta literally blew up entire planets before he became an anti-hero type. He never really reformed, he kind of just got bored being evil.
- A morally grey character is one that commits the most heinous shit, but is also hot
- "I can fix her" said the weabo as he hurtled towards the mass of simps spouting the same.
- Oh god that series caught me off guard
  
  I do recommend the manga, its way less... bloodthirsty (still thirsty af tho)
The Death Star was an inside job. Emperor Palpatine is a good guy who brought peace and prosperity to the Galaxy. What the so-called Rebel Alliance terrorist organization did was wrong, and I'm tired of pretending it was not.
Also Gandalf was a demagogue taking advantage of the naive and gullible in order to set Middle Earth back centuries, all because racial supremacist elves desired to overthrow the human kingdoms and install their puppet Aragorn. They've used new age mysticism to bamboozle the masses! Wake up, sheeple!
- Oh boy here we go waking the sheeple again
The most famous villian .... The Joker ... a highly intelligent, creative, insightful and philosophical individual compared to some billionaire in a bat costume with a mouthful of gravel.
- Plus back before the woke liberal agenda took over the media he was always talking about "boners" which I can relate to.
- I miss the "World's Greatest Detective" Batman.
- There's a bit more nuance to him than that.

Is the villain crying in the last panel??
- That's because he IS Pagliacci.
Compelling villains are written with a deeper motivation for their actions than just 'hurt people' or 'be evil' and they have a tendency to challenge the status quo in some way. Such villains become sympathetic because the current status quo is oppressive.
It must be very difficult to write a villain for a contemporary piece of media because they can very quickly become a hero of the people.
- The problem is you can also make the villain a manchild whos sick of people not agreeing with him and the internet will call him based
  
  based jack horner
- Proof that neither following the law nor traditional morality are being appreciated by today's youth.
  The reason for that should be obvious.
Is that emperor georgiou? Although tbf the series tried to awkwardly put their own halo on her
Basically the Ghoul from Fallout
- he aint the villain though, more an anti-hero or something like that
