LOL XD You so have a point. Villian's sometimes need to be just that, Villians! It's tiring if everyones all "Omg gasp, -feels sorry for him-"
Your style is amazing *o* ! Is this an original work? :o -failz- While your paragraphs are long they carry a lot of detail in them which makes it totally approvable and far more exciting to me at least.
Would I fail at life if I told you I've never seen Voltron? LOL

I KNOW. ugh, i understand that at one point it was really awesome to give villains a motivation because it was new and exciting, but nowadays it's just gone to the opposite extreme. i'm in serious need of a mumm-ra or a gargamel these days.
yes, it's an original work. ^^ one i've been working on for like 10 years, so it makes sense that i get all excited whenever i hit a milestone, lol. xDDD i'm glad you liked it! i do worry about my paragraphs. as you can probably see from this post, i've got a thing about short paragraphs, and in trying to avoid them i end up writing big walls of text. this snippet in particular looks better on word, though-- my LJ's layout is rather slim so it only makes it worse. ;)
i don't blame you for never seeing voltron, it's way older than you are. in fact, it's even older than i am-- by about six months. O_o the only reason i got to watch it was because anime in the 80's took a hell of a lot of time to get to my country... it had to air on

Not to mention that their evilness is a high factor for their general badass quotient in most cases. giving them an understandable reason just makes their coolness decay at the drop of a hat.
THIS! Most of the time for me - the badassery and coolnes of the main villain sets the badassery and awsomness of the entire movie/TV show/whatever. The better the villain the better the hero, usually.
That's why I love Bellatrix - she's just plain evil, crazy and obsessed. :D
Also, how ANYONE can hate on Captain Planet, I don't know!
And I love what you said - it still did what it set out to do: make me environmentally conscious. it didn't teach me how to save the planet, but it taught me that we have to save the planet.
Ah, possibly my own issue against Togashi. His villains are so damn likeable, it's annoying. I do understand you, though; I love those "simply evil" kinds of villains too. <3
yeah, it gets tiring, all of this "understanding the villains." i know some works are much better because of it (especially works that involve more realistic plots, like the average drama and such), but once in a while, having one of those 2D villains is kind of refreshing.
hmm. i think that's why none of my own original works have villains. no, actually, one of them does, but i haven't written much about him yet. ^^;;; pretty sure he's gonna be "in it for the money," though. i have other characters that are not-quite-good and more in the anti-hero or anti-villain spectrum, and they all have different motivations and excuses for their behavior, but that's just it, even i can't bring myself to call them "villains." they're just "not really good" characters in my head, and that works just fine for me.

(even more than voldie, actually; he's just a whiny prima donna about 85% of the time).

yeah, some people just completely missed the point, i swear. -_-;;;
