4 Game Villains Who Were Actually Right
from State of the Arc Podcast · host Resonant Arc
Sometimes the most compelling villains are the ones who correctly identify a real problem: a collapsing society, a broken system, an impossible moral dilemma, or a truth the hero would rather avoid. In this episode, we look at four video game villains who may have been right in their diagnosis—but heinously wrong in their prescription. Time Codes: 1. Intro (0:00) 2. Metal Gear Solid 2 (3:54) 3. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (21:30) 4. NieR: Replicant (31:01) 5.
