“Who Is A Villain You Rooted For Rather Than The Protagonist And Why?” (50 Answers)

This One!

Wasn't this kind of the point of the 1933 movie? It's been a while since I saw it but I know the writer was clear that he saw King Kong as a tragic figure and the overall theme was meant to be the tragedy of "the primitive soul doomed by modernity" or something along those lines. Kinda wild that even in the 30s people had anxiety about how quickly technology was changing the world... Like the idea of a primitive soul resisting being forced into a modern world and then being destroyed by it already resonated as a tragic story.

Definitely this!

Isn't that kinda the whole point of the movie?

This applies every single animal in the world, including humans

Roadrunner was never as much of a bully as Jerry was at times.

Yall don't know the truth ofJerry. He was only being àn a*****e because he didnt want to get replaced. Tom was his only friend.

He kept Acme Supplies in business.

to be fair, going "meep meep!" and then running away is a fairly friendly response to someone who is repeatedly trying to end you.

And Sylvester. Tweety is a t.w.a.t.

On the first day I got my clarinet, I said, 'I, (my name) pledge to become Squidward with this wonderous instrument. FOREVER!!" Then proceeded to squeak the mouthpiece XD

And then there's that episode when ALL his "villains" band together to give him a Flawless Victory at the Stadium.

Isn't he good at the clarinet tho?

I play clarinet!

Omg this is everything I so relate haha

lol that is the greatest thing ever.

It would be worth twice the money just to see a murderous villain stop, look at the screaming banshee, check his watch, then walk away, shaking his head.

She's an annoying whiney b*tch...

Your fault for watching Jaws 2

Agreed! 😆

Gotta keep the tough guy act up..

For that theory I think some of the contraptions are unneccessary cruel

I liked how every now and again they would team up on a mutual enemy

There were a couple of episodes Jerry pretends to be gone so Tom doesn't get kicked out of his house.

Tom was the victor in exactly 50% of the cartoons. Jerry, the other 50%.

Umbridge is bad, Snape is good. Simple logic there! (Edit: Ok, Snape is PARTIALLY good, at least compared to Umbridge, lol!)

After this phenomenal Umbridge, I can't imagine anyone else playing Umbridge. She is so perfect for the role.

My professor in college once described Snape as a byronic hero. He did the right thing for the wrong reason, aligning with the protagonists not for their cause but for his own loss and love, and dying a hero's death despite never being heroic in his heart. My professor also said it was kind of sad that children's lit has become so limited in the past few decades that Snape is the closest thing to a morally gray or dark hero most kids are familiar with. For some reason people assume kids can't handle nuance, when in my experience they handle it better than a lot of adults. Better than most adult Harry Potter fans, anyways.

Snape is only good compared to Umbridge. He's still a teacher who bullied students.

I rooted more for draco i felt sorey for him he was just a bullied scared little boy mistreated by his father

I truly believe Magneto is a character that has had no bad adaptations whatsoever. The movie or show might not be good, but Magneto will always be one of, if not the best characters in it.

And Magneto wants to do to the rest of humanity exactly what the Nazis did to him. Yes, his backstory is horrifying, but he very much wants to do the exact same thing to every non-mutant.
