Do you ever feel bad for the villains in films/games?

I've always wondered what motivates the villain henchmen in a lot of these games and movies. They've just seen the protagonist/hero effortlessly cut through legions of their fellow conspirators - usually in explicitly gruesome detail. Most rational thinking people would run for the hills or at least soil themselves. Yet what do they do? Do they run? No. They stay and fight the hero and then die horribly. But imagine the courage to do that. To stand and fight for your evil convictions despite knowing that you have no chance of survival. I think we should all look at these guys in a new light and respect and honor their valor and commitment.

I never tought about that before... Yes :D.

Sometimes I support when the heroes really sucks. Can't think of an example right now but yeah. Like in tom & jerry I always support tom.

I never root for the bad guys, but there are times where I feel bad. For instance, in Deus Ex HR, I felt bad killing a bunch of guys. I looked at the side mission where you need to figure out your gf's death for her mom, and it made me realize something. No matter how bad the bad guys are (actually most of them weren't even bad, they were just doing their jobs) they are all sons to someone. They have loved ones. And killing them traumatizes people. So yes occasionally I feel bad for the general bad guy.

Like in Bambi, the hunter got to feed him and his family. JigglyWiggly_

Who's to say the hunter didn't just skin Bambi's mom to make a deer suit so he could seduce bucks?

I felt bad for the hyenas in The Lion King since their badness mostly came out of being hungry.

Yes I do.Mostly because I have more In common with the villain than I do with the hero.

Darth Vader. He grew up without a father, His mother was kidnapped and tortured by aliens from another planet, He gets third degree burns all over his body and has to wear a respirator, Wife dies, and his reunion with his son wasn't all nice and dandy...yea

yes.

I support Sylvester the Cat. I hate Tweety.

Indeed, tho it would be advisable for him to cut Tweety in pieces before eating him because Tweety's head is so ginormous.

Oh wait. It's a cartoon. Never mind.

I think the sympathy for these predators arises because the "prey" can't just preserve their lives with dignity and class. :lol: For some reason, they have to be annoying pricks about it.

Squidward in Spongebob is kinda portrayed negativly. One day I want him to just rip off spongebob's face and and use it in the shower.

I know filthy, but Spongebob is so damn annoying.

Law Abiding Citizen. Letters to Iwo Jima/Flags of our Fathers as a combination. Lonesome Road fallout:NV DLC. The Green Mile. Those are a few movies where both good guys and bad guys, can easily be switched around. You can see both sides. So sure.CreasianDevaili

Gerard Butler(sp?)? that guy was an ahole, he deserved to get killed.
