Have you ever found yourself re-watching a movie or re-reading a book that you first encountered years ago, but now see the whole plot totally differently? Very often in such cases, we see some of the characters in a different light. Suddenly, we want to justify those who we hated or thought to be villains, realizing why they chose a certain path. Reddit user @u/Chadderbug123 decided to ask others online “What villain was terrifying because they were right?” and received more than 25k answers. People online soon started giving interesting answers, naming villains from well-known movies, TV shows, books, games, and even commercials. These were followed by explanations and elaborate backstories of some of the characters.

Which one of these were you terrified of? And if you don’t see your favorite villain on this list, don’t forget to leave their name in the comments down below!

30 Bad Guys Who Were Scary Because They Were Right All Along, According To Folks In This Online Group The Matrix’s Agent Smith: “I tried to classify your species. I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with their surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to another area, and you multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet.”

It’s not that we all can’t find equilibrium, it’s just that some of us are extremely selfish

Oh, but it is...the diseased, the lame, the ones that refuse to comfort, and those who jeopardize the group as a whole will be left behind, left out, killed, or beaten to toe the line. There is also the fact they live in the wild where the elements affect their lives. Most humans are insulated from the elements, modern medicine means we can live despite diseases, and we have the ability to modify food to provide sustenance for us...but there is greed, and our desire for comfort that has supersede all other instincts as we are extremely self-centered.

Exactly. The only difference is it will take longer for us to get to the point where our behaviour starts to kill us off. Which is how "natural equilibrium" actually works

Agent Smith is wrong. We don't just use everything up and move on. We stay put and farm our food and set up plantations for wood and build fisheries to restock the fish, and so on. Yes, we're extremely destructive, but we know how to sustain ourselves. If we didn't we'd have long since died out.

Since the first time I saw that masterpiece at the cinema I'm referring to Smith's line when the situation fits. It may be a very pessimistic view on our world / humankind (especially by having kids I adore and just want the best for my 2 terrorists of love) but it is poignantly fitting on so many levels nowadays. I still hope that the generations to come will act smarter than what we all did until these days... just hope that so I can comfort myself that my kids will have a brighter future to live in... but still kinda doubt that humanity will change its course of selfish stupidity.

My aunt and uncle bought a property with a lot of trees in the backyard and bought it because of that fact then proceeded to cut them all down a few years later because they wanted to have a nice lawn and had to buy a new mower as theirs was too small just because people started moving into their area and they had to show off how nice their yard was

    Disney is actively trying to change all of the traditional bad guys into empathetic creatures. In the original fairy tales (600 years old) she was the EVIL Fairy who did what she die just because she was evil. Her sister blessed the child because that's what fairies were supposed to do. She screwed over Sleeping Beauty and an entire kingdom because she wasn't invited to a party.

    This clearly explains how the downfall of the human race when Covid-19 hit - I was an essential worker who thought ppl were already the worse, but by god, the level of selfishness, total disgrace that the human race went to was horrifying. I had a customer spit directly on my face because I wouldn't let her have 2 packs of water, we were only allowed to let ppl have one because ppl were trying to buy ALL of them then triple the charge & sell it to other desperate ppl or simply thought they were the only ppl that matters, f**k everyone else. My manager literally did nothing when that c**t leaned forward & spit in my eye. I thought we had seen the worst POS citizens that got Trump elected, but we devolved even further when 2020 hit. The human race needs to be removed, we serve absolutely no positive aspects to this dying planet.

    Rationalization that others are evil, petty, greedy, etc is not an excuse for an individual to be the same way. Whether its cutting in line or killing a clown, just because someone else did it, it doesn't mean you can too. The Joker is even worse - his excuse is someone else might eventually do it. He went out of his way to prove this point. I know its just a movie, but when the convicts didn't blow up anyone, it proved even though a person made mistakes, you cannot assume they will make morally incorrect decisions again.

    This was the appeal of Marvel. The bad guys usually had really good motivations for what they did. Magneto became worse than the Nazis because he didn't want to allow what they did happen twice. The good guys often got away with bad things for good reasons. That helmet Magneto wears is to keep Professor X from mentally controlling him. Professor X could easily be viewed as the ultimate bad guy in the right context.

    30 Bad Guys Who Were Scary Because They Were Right All Along, According To Folks In This Online Group Screenslaver from The Incredibles 2. The monolog given during that movie regularly rings in my head. I'm sure the creepy bass robotic voice doesn't help too. “The Screenslaver interrupts this program for an important announcement. Don’t bother watching the rest. Elastigirl doesn’t save the day; she only postpones her defeat. And while she postpones her defeat, you eat chips and watch her invert problems that you are too lazy to deal with. Superheroes are part of a brainless desire to replace true experience with simulation. You don’t talk, you watch talk shows. You don’t play games, you watch game shows. Travel, relationships, risk; every meaningful experience must be packaged and delivered to you to watch at a distance so that you can remain ever-sheltered, ever-passive, ever-ravenous consumers who can’t free themselves to rise from their couches to break a sweat, never anticipate new life. You want superheroes to protect you, and make yourselves ever more powerless in the process. Well, you tell yourselves you’re being ‘looked after’. That you’re inches from being served and your rights are being upheld. So that the system can keep stealing from you, smiling at you all the while. Go ahead, send your supers to stop me. Grab your snacks, watch your screens, and see what happens. You are no longer in control. I am.” TLDR: you think everything will always be okay and while you remain distracted, the powers that be will continue to steal from you.

    I don't know who Peacemaker is but I see where he's coming from. If you don't kill the bad guy, he's just gonna escape Arkam (AGAIN) and kill more people. I never understood that about Batman. Superman too for that matter. Though I think it stems from the era in which they were originally created. A lot of people were tired of war and death and maybe these bad guys were supposed to be slated for a redemption arc but never got one? I don't know and I don't enough about comics to make an informed opinion. This is just a casual observation.

    I think it's the slippery slope. Once you decide it's okay to kill any person for any reason, then it's always up for debate of whether it's okay any other. So they decide they aren't willing to cross that line, regardless of the cost.

    I met Hogan once at a conference in Orlando where his daughter was performing. I was at the pool reading a book when suddenly it became overcast and I looked up. It wasn't clouds, it was Hulk Hogan towering over me. He was making the rounds greeting people and whatnot. I was more interested in my book so I just smiled politely and turned my attention back to what I was doing. What I remember specifically about him is that 1. He is ENORMOUS. I'm not sure what his actual height is but he must be over 6' 5". 2. He was on crutches from a knee injury. 3. He is BEET RED.

(The population would rebound). Second, it would've been just as easy for him to double the Universe and its habitable worlds and raw materials as it was to eliminate half the population.

    Thanos is an idiot, and his whole kill half the universe nonsense is as lazy a plot device as they come. The Earth's population has doubled in the last 60 years, and will likely double again in the next 40 years. Everything Thanos is trying to do would be undone within a single generation. He would be more successful by just distributing birth control and setting up sex education centers. Why not snap your fingers and halve the fertility rate.

    He's a villain in the sense that he started messing with humanity. Kept trying to give them an extra push to make them more like him. Like when he gave Riker the powers of the Q. Wanted to see how well humanity could handle that power. He did devolve into more of a Loki variant as the series progressed. But if you haven't watched season two of Picard, I'd suggest you do so. He's gone back to being a straight up d**k now.

    30 Bad Guys Who Were Scary Because They Were Right All Along, According To Folks In This Online Group AUTO From WALL-E. It was one of the only almost perfectly executed ‘ai’ villains. He never really talks unless needed because he wasn’t programmed to, no malicious motives, does everything efficiently. He’s only ‘bad’ because he’s following his programming, protect the humans and don’t let them back to earth. Not out of malicious intent, but it was what he was programmed to do. And his directive isn’t even incorrect. WALL-E Finding that plant was like finding a 4 leaf clover in a field of grain. The planet was nowhere near habitable, and they barely know how to stand when they get back, in reality you know nobody on that axiom is going to make it very far. EDIT: Some of you missed the main point of the original post and started arguments on how humans could survive, remember me thinking they wouldn’t make it far alone is only any THEORY and I’m not saying it’s 100% Truth but I’m kinda tired and I keep getting people saying the same thing so I thought I would just say that so I could go to sleep and hopefully have a couple less people ticked off when I wake up then I would had I not said that EDIT 2: Well I woke up and this comment blew up a bit, just want to say that contrary to popular belief I did watch the end credits, it’s a Pixar movie, did you expect them to actually show civilization fail and die? I just had a theory on what would happen if they went with a more ‘grim’ approach. They COULD still live, but they also had a chance they wouldn’t, without the couple minutes end credits thrown in at the last second it’s really just an open ended question I added one of many answers to

    Doctor Zaius from Planet of the Apes. The entire original series does a really good job in my opinion making the villains _right_ but also the harbingers of their own downfall. But Dr. Zaius is my personal favorite. Dr. Zaius in _Beneath the Planet of the Apes_ has this line which sums up his ideology to a T (paraphrasing as it's been a hot minute): > _"Help you?! Why should I help you? Man is evil! Capable of nothing but destruction!"_ And the best part is while yes by refusing to help George he leads to the world being destroyed, he wasn't ever _wrong._ The end of the first movie has George learn that mankind caused a nuclear apocalypse whilst he was out in space, leaving the other apes to evolve in more or less a wasteland. And the second movie ends with George activating nukes underground in a last ditch hail mary and blowing Earth up. While yes, it could've been avoided if Zaius just helped George, _why should he have?_ Everything from both the Apes religious beliefs and their knowledge of history shows mankind to be an evil, destructive species (and while yes we're also doing good, lets be honest its always been our destructive efforts that have lead more lasting impacts on the world). And the last thing Dr. Zaius experienced was just confirmation of his belief as a human destroyed not only himself, not only Dr. Zaius, but literally the entire planet.

    Patrick Bateman. What was he right about? How utterly unimpressive he is. The memes about him demonstrates an irony; Patrick is just an empty shell pretending to be a man, obsessed with both fitting in and being better than everyone around him. Yet as he realizes by the end, with the implication he imagined most of what happened (or his father is covering for his insane a*s) he comes to the realization he is never going to get what he wants; uniqueness. He’s trapped in a world of people as bland and uninteresting as he is. And there’s no escape.

Personally I think Jimmy wouldn't have been able to help himself from engaging in occasional shenanigans, but nonetheless would have become a really good attorney with Chuck's support and guidance. That was probably never going to happen with Chuck's personality (and maybe not with Jimmy's either) and their shared fraught background/upbringing. Fascinating story though!

    I wasn’t really terrified of it but N was in right in my opinion when we’re talking Pokémon. Dude thought getting these creatures and making them fight till one is knocked out wasn’t that amazing of an idea and it just made sense to kid me. That all said I think N is a really interesting character that can be interpreted in many different ways. Of all the main leaders of these games, I think N had the best argument. It wasn’t perfect though. I like N a lot for his character development. I agree with him at the end. Real Pokémon mistreatment should not be tolerated. But a Pokémon trainer simply using Pokémon in battles does not qualify as mistreatment as the Pokémon is happy. The Pokémon like the trainers, that is the best you should wish for there. All in all, I wish Pokémon had good stories and characters like this again tbh.

All that’s left for you to take is my life, by your own hand. One must die and one must live. No victory, no defeat. The survivor will carry on the fight. It is our destiny… The one who survives will inherit the title of Boss. And the one who inherits the title of Boss will face an existence of endless battle.
