The Psychology of Villains

from The DORK Side

"In a world where heroes play by the rules… the bad guys get all the best lines, the coolest outfits, and, let’s be honest, way more interesting hobbies. Welcome to this episode of The DORK Side—we have ethically-sourced organic fear."Villains shouldn’t be likable. Yet here we are, secretly cheering when Hannibal Lecter serves someone their own liver with a side of fava beans. Why? Because villains—the great ones—aren’t just evil. They’re committed. They have standards. Hannibal doesn’t just kill you; he critiques your lack of sophistication first…Anton Chigurh doesn’t just hunt you down; he lets a coin flip decide your fate, which is somehow more terrifying than pure malice.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
