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

Squidward I feel like gets screwed all the time. Poor guy's life sucks. I mean think about it.. His vision for a perfect day is to NOT be annoyed to death and to play his flute and he can't even have that?

Freakin SpongeBob is obnoxious but gets everything he wants. That show p*sses me off sometimes.

Also, King Kong? I don't know if he's supposed to be rooted for, but I always have rooted for him and it sucks he dies..I hated the people in that movie.

I root for them when I feel like being cynical.

[QUOTE="The_Last_Ride"][QUOTE="CreasianDevaili"]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.sSubZerOo

:| Why? Looking past the vengence part, he not only killed both men that murdered his family.. He tortured them to death.. Then he started killing tons of innocent people, from the defence lawyer, to the judges.. I mean really..

To this Day, I still believe Macbeth was the hero of Macbeth. I don't care what my English teachers all said, I rooted for him right til the end!! Yet in the end if the general consensus is that Macbeth was indeed a villain, then yes I felt sorry for him as a villain.

Yes, every single person has felt bad for the villian. I speak of one villian, more of an antagonist. The Trix Rabbit. Give him some ****ing cereal, demon children.

Wait... have people actually forgotten to mention Willy E. Coyote?

Sometimes, yes.

I felt bad for the murderer in Heavy Rain, it's quite sad once you know how he became that way.

maybe one time i was rooting for the villian. saren from mass effect. all he did was to save the entire race when he believed that the reapers would win

I always held a tinge of regret when Mr. Freeze lost ( except when Arnold played him). He's not really a bad guy. He just wants to help his wife.

[QUOTE="The_Last_Ride"] yeah i agree with Law abiding citizen, great movie, was cheering for the villain in that movie. Which i never doCreasianDevaili

... With that logic no one is innocent because I can make any kind of abstract measure to what I think is innocent or guilty.

It is a career yes but it is one dealing directly with people's lives. It is no different to some people for a hospital to sit back in chairs, sipping a drink, while seeing who deserves that kidney transplant more based on donations/funding/insurance.

Where in the hell does a judge fit into this? Their job is to decide what justice is, and if enough evidence has been made beyond a reasonable doubt.

The main guy made the prosecutor truely feel the seriousness of what is within his hands. It took him killing all these people that the lawyer didnt give a **** about to do it. Been a 10 minute movie if he had killed the dude's wife and kid. But that wasn't the point

Quite often there are villians with incredibly tragic pasts. Sniper Wolf in MGS1 for instance got a lot of people tear up or at feel for her before the end.

I feel bad for killing Margerat Moonlight in No More Heroes 2. She was already disarmed. Gutting her wasn't necessary. Furthermore he didn't finish the Seppuku by beheading her quickly.

Jeane from No More Heroes 1 was also very tragic if you know the true story with her.

Only one I felt bad for and that was Katherine Marlowe in Uncharted 3.

Most of the time I'm rooting for the bad guys, like I rooted for Arthas in Wrath of the Lich King to whipe everyone out

Tragic villains yes. Like Francis Hummel in The Rock. Also pretty much anyone who fights for a good cause but is the antagonist in the movie. Then you have people who are flat out part of a villanous group but are good people. The "good Nazi" character per se.
