This was really helpful, for something I'm currently writing. Also made me work out what classes as a villain or just a disruptive force. Again I like the fact, the antagonist isn't always evil, they is a group in my series who aren't fully evil, they have reasons, and it is complicated, which I enjoying doing.
I'm so glad you found something useful from this video. I feel like it makes it easier when you don't feel like you need to force a character to be evil just because they're the 'bad guy' of the movie. And in fact, I much more enjoy stories where the bad guy has redeeming features and almost makes you like them. A great way to stir some internal conflict in the audience. :)
@filmindustrygateway I also enjoy in films or TV, where a someone who we have seen as a villain reveals he had motives to take down another villain. To me, I love when yes there are not very nice characters, but they aren't all down right evil. In my series I'm currently working on, there are a bunch of characters who when we first meet them, we are made to believe they are evil, because they are prisoners, in reality a lot of them had motives for what they did, again it makes it more complex. I won't lie it took me a while to think what to write, I nearly tried to explain the series im working on, but it's quite complicated to put in a youtube comment
9. They speak with a British accent.
Hans Gruber: "I may be a German, but during this heist, I will speak like a Brit."
Haha. Exactly. It’s quite funny how popular it is to use a British accent for a villain. Still happens all the time 😂
