villains

Leave it to Tumblr to take a quirky superhero idea and turn it up to eleven, like this thread where a mystified man is able to identify superheroes. It seems like every villain would be some kind of expert in whatever their field of villainy, so they wouldn't necessarily be bad at giving advice.

Some classic movie villains are just having a bad day, had a tragic backstory, are trying to protect the people they love, are straight up following a contract, or just get attacked by the protagonist for no reason. On the other side, sometimes a fictional character is written or portrayed so well that they inspire genuine feelings of hate.

When you start to realize what motivates villains, it makes them seem a little more villainous. They're definitely the bad guys, but sometimes when you take a step back, they're getting completely screwed over by life. For more movie stuff, here are some gaping plot holes people can't get over as well as Tumblr uncovering the very limited number of movie posters out there.

This guy learned that it probably isn't best to break out a quote from Marvel's iconic Mad Titan villain, Thanos. Well, at least when you're in the middle of a heated argument with your girlfriend about her moving away. Questionable move there, bud. 

DC Comics needs to pick this up ASAP. Very compelling, and well written. Would love to see more of this story.
