Have you ever liked a villain more than the hero? Who and why?
Yes, all the time! Characters like Kilmonger in Black Panther, Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, or Darth Vader often eclipse the traditional hero.
The main reason is depth and complexity. Traditional heroes can sometimes feel constrained by predictability and moral perfection, whereas compelling villains are driven by deeply personal trauma, understandable ambitions, or a twisted logic that makes viewers question their own stance. They offer a raw, unfiltered look at human flaws, making their journeys far more fascinating to watch.
