Episode 56: Something Wicked This Way Comes

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome to the Goblin Lore Podcast! In our fifty-sixth episode, Hobbes and Joe tackle the very uncomplicated issue of evil. Two of your goblin trio take on the nature of evil and good – are they universal or subjective concepts? what are indicators of evil actions? what's the difference between a villain, an antagonist, and an anti-hero? – and sift through some examples in Magic lore of non-Black aligned antagonists and villains, as well as the handful of Black-aligned heroes. Along the way, we discuss the new Joker movie, the new planeswalker Oko from The Wildered Quest, and much more! ____________________________________________ We have a Patreon!
