WilfordGrimley, Jafar in Twisted. So so good.
LoreleiSankTheShip, Twisted is what made me love musicals. They’re not a big thing in my culture, our theatre is strictly non-musical, and the movie ones seemed weird to me. But after watching Twisted, they all clicked for me. Everyone should give it a watch!
Whirlgirl9, The Quarians vs the Geth...the Quarians did the Geth dirty
BolexForSoup, It’s important to remember that the Quarians are living in the shadow of a war and exodus they didn’t personally start and have had generations telling them a story of survival and heroism against an unstoppable machine juggernaut. That’s what makes their decision to cooperate all the more powerful. They’ve spent their whole lives trying to plant a tree whose shade they’ll never sit in that they always feel is at risk of being cut down again.
It’s also understandable when a significant portion of the geth just tried to kill everybody a few years prior and was abducting humans to impale on spikes that turn them into machines-monsters.
Whirlgirl9, which they (the geth) never would have done had the creators (quarians) not shit their pants because the geth became sentient and asked "am i alive". The quarians decided to commit mass genocide of a sentient race because they became sentient and then got their asses kicked off their planet. Had they not done that, and worked with the geth, the morning war would have never happened, the geth would have never split, and they (the quarians) could have stayed on their planet...
MxM111, Terminator. Arnold was reprogrammed.
Brutticus, The Rock, starring Sean Connery and Nicholas Cage
vortexal, Assuming you’re counting stories where the villain did very bad things for the purpose of a doing something good, there is an anime from 2005 called Speed Grapher.
mortrek, Oof that was a hard one to watch sometimes
Talaraine, The Watchmen. Everyone thought Ozymandias was the supreme evil but what he did ultimately saved billions of lives.
Bonehead, ...by killing millions. Let's not forget that part.
Maeve, The trolly problem. I guess saving billions is better than a million, unless you and loved ones are in the million.
Bonehead, You assume the trolley existed to begin with. There's no guarantee that Ozymandias' predictions were right. We've been there before, in real life, and turned it back. Nothing says that wouldn't have happened in their world as well. That's why he's not actually a good guy...he took away the option to choose, and killed millions in the process.
BolexForSoup, “He had no right” basically sums it up.
VintageTech, Osama bin Laden
mysoulishome, Why the fuck did this make me laugh…now I need to downvote myself
VintageTech, Reviewing his career and accomplishments - the guy was a real life Michael Douglas in Falling Down… but followed through on a larger scale. And deaths, a whole lot more deaths.
mysoulishome, Jesus Christ… 😂
dead, Saw X
NickwithaC, I’d say that’s an “everyone sucks here” type of story.
impudentmortal, Ferris Beuler’s Day Off
1hitsong, Rooney? How did he turn out to be the good guy?
Or do you mean Jeanie?
impudentmortal, It’s been a while since I’ve seen the film, but I’d say both.
Rooney just wanted proof that Ferris was skipping school, which he was. He went about it the wrong way by entering the Bueller household but he was basically just trying to do his job. He definitely gets obsessive about it but he’s not in the wrong.
Jeanie is pretty self explanatory. She also just wants Ferris to suffer the consequences of his actions.
I think this movie never sat well with me because Ferris obviously does so many wrong and criminal things but is actually rewarded for it. Sure, you should take the time to enjoy life but not at the expense of others.
cheese_greater, Peter Pan. Something, something, Pan’s a little fuck
mukt, Every story of Tom and Jerry.
cheese_greater, (edited ) How was Jerry evil? Mice gotta skim
xkforce, Jerry antagonized Tom into attacking him more often than not. He viewed it as a game rather than a life or death struggle. Tom OTOH would be kicked out on the street if he didn’t try to keep Jerry under control.
cheese_greater, (edited ) I bet its that Jerry has that toxoplasmosis making him unafraid of cats. In that light, nobody’s at fault. Its just nature shit happening to play out in the domestic sphere
IgnatiusJReilly, Some Guinness was spilt on the barroom floor, when the pub was shut for the night. Out of his hole crept a wee brown mouse & stood in the pale moon light. He lapped up the frothy brew from the floor, then back on haunches he sat. And all night long you could hear him roar, "Bring on the goddamn cat!
- Irish poem
cheese_greater, (edited ) haunches
I feel like nobody uses the word haunches enough/anymore. Such an amusing oldtimey euphemism for
dat ass
IgnatiusJReilly, Hella haunches
cheese_greater, Haunches like conches
state_electrician, “Villains by Necessity” by Eve Forward.
pixelscript, Xenoblade Chronicles
paultimate14, Pokemon Sword and Shield.
Rose is trying to move the country off of fossil fuels and onto sustainable green energy. Somehow Gamefreak manages to portray this as being a terrorist and extremist. How dare he try to move Galar away from coal?
kplaceholder, I mean, he did recreate a cataclysmic event in the process, and the projected crisis was bound to happen in 1000 years… One can never be too prepared I guess.
What is that even trying to say? That there is such thing as going too far when fighting the energy crisis? lol
otp, What is that even trying to say? That there is such thing as going too far when fighting the energy crisis? lol
Game Freak’s writing team is invested in oil and coal, lol
Zorsith, Game freak is invested in producing shovelware.
atlasraven31, Magneto in the 90s. He even built an asteroid as a refuge for any mutant.
SplashJackson, A Bioshock-like game set on Asteroid M would be, if you will excuse the parlance, baller.
impudentmortal, You could say it would be out of this world.
turkishdelight, (edited ) The older I get, more I agree with Magneto.
atlasraven31, When the Sentinels start rounding up mutants, it is the biggest “I told you so” to Charles.
teawrecks, More like, the older the character gets, the more they update his backstory to be something the audience can sympathize with. Because a villain for villain’s sake gets old fast.
FreakinSteve, Magneto ftw. Xavier is a naive little bitch.
“You’re always sorry, Charles …and there’s always a speech!..but nobody cares.”
