Incel trait: you like villains more than heroes in movies

[Teutonic Knight]

I usually feel like I can relate to the villains more JFL.

If its a good written movie , then yes .
But if its a standart antagonist , copy pasted russian military guy , for example then not .
But overall i want to see the world burn , so i empathize with the right side .

Almost all of my favorite movie characters are antagonists so yes this is true in my particular case.

Tbh, i always rotted for the villains in shows and movies, even when i was still a little kid.

 

[Teutonic Knight]

Depends on the villain and whether their motive is something beyond "I'm a bad guy because I'm a bad guy" like most villains are these days.

I like characters like Commodus from Gladiator. He is legit my favorite movie character of all times. If you examine his character more closely you notice that he was actually a very moral man




Hopefully Joaquin Phoenix creates another great villain in Joker.

According to redpillers on youtube, you shouldn't have heroes. Boys only have them to develop into a man that fucks and ghosts.

I miss bain. Sigh.

 

[Dionysus]

I can relate a lot

I personally found commodus a bit too mustache twirling really, a good villain to me is someone one that has motivations that are somewhat sympathetic.

He had good motivations. Too bad the conniving plotting senators wanted to stop him. His father was a piece of shit too both in movie and historically. He should have just given the reigns to Commodus and everything that happened in the movie would be avoided, Maximus would live a peaceful life in his family. Unfortunately because of his fathers stupid actions, Commodus had no choice but to do what he did. I can't remember a single bad thing he did in the movie. It seems to me that he was a man of very high moral values.

He was also a manlet who was brutally heighmogged by his own sister so you could feel his pain.

I remember being invited by some normies to see The Dark Night, having not seen the previous Nolan Batman films, and they I thought I was weird for thinking Bain seemed a lot more likeable than some rich Chad.

The protagonist in popular media is meant to be likable, or at least relatable, to its target demographic, i.e. normies. So they tend to be conventionally attractive, have at least one endearing character trait, and have at least one problem in their lives that normies can sympathize with.

As incels, many of the same things that draw normies towards the protagonists in popular media repulse us and people like us, so we're more apt to side with the antagonists, i.e. the villains, who we relate to more and prefer to live vicariously through. Villains are often conventionally unattractive like us, and are always a major threat on at least a personal scale (but usually a wide one), which is something we want for ourselves. It's the same reason we exalt mass killers like Elliot Rodger and Alek Minassian while normies hold them in contempt.
