Villains in the dictionary are a deliberate scoundrel or criminals. They're evil right? But some point I
watched also some movies like in Thor the dark world where most or all of the audience Loved Loki which is the Villain in the movie. Is it because of his change of heart on that movie? I was amazed when people start clapping when they saw Loki was still alive in that part it like "He's a villain. why are you clapping for him?" Now I have done a research about this why do the villains get the Love and not being hated.
WHY DO WE LOVE SUPERVILLAINS?
I have read and atricle“Why Do Supervillains Fascinate Us? A Psychological Perspective” by Travis Langley
We have our motivations why were seeking out supervillains first is that they have the freedom to do anything. Second they have the power and we envy evil characters. While also a reason why we adore superheroes. Third is Payback they are driven more to do payback rather than justice and we humans couldn't help but to admit we want payback as revenge and we adore them for their evil schemes. Fourth is Facing our fears we dont want things we fear some of us want to be feared that is why we love feared supervillains.
Langley said that "our interest in supervillains can be healthy or unhealthy. Even the more maladaptive reasons for such fascination tend to arise from motivations that were originally healthy and natural — frustrated drives that went the wrong way."
I believed Langley when he gave the scientific reasons why are we fascinated just like the freedom they have. They have the strength to do anything without the permission of the law. And payback, Yes I admit I want revenge whenever someone does something bad to me.
How to make and effective SupperVillain?
I have read an article "Creating Villains People Love to Hate" by Lee Masterson
It was written there that most bad guys are shown as being shallow, narrow-minded creatures whose only ambition is to be as evil as possible. This approach to an antagonist loses the respect of your reader for two reasons. First is You lose any emotional impact your story, Second is that A completely evil character equates to a totally weak character to a reader. In order to be considered a worthy opponent, you must portray your antagonist honestly. You must be able to get inside his head, too, and learn what drives him to act the way he does.
Lee Masterson also said that "Every story has to have a bad guy. There wouldn't be much conflict for your protagonist to overcome if there was no antagonist to stir the pot."
I agree with Mr.Masterson because just like the Joker and Loki they have became effective Supervillains because they are the unsual types of Bad Guys in the movies.
As I have researched so far. Villains are bad guys that do bad things but they are also the one who gives some kind of action and joy. How could we enjoy a Superhero movie without a good villain? every good hero has a better villain. Villains may be wreckers in the movie, but they give action to the scene.
