Villainous

by Villainous Podcast

Villains have always existed - throughout history, literature and visual media their presence is felt. Villains set the tone for the story, push the heroes into action - but time and time again we hate them. Is it because we were taught to favor the good - or we don't like the actor - or the character was written badly? Whatever the case, villains have drawn the shorter side of the stick. I feel it shouldn't be like that. I think villains should be appreciated. Join me as I go deep into to the world of villains to find what makes them great, for reasons you wouldn't even suspect!

But there is a lot more to him than we see in the MCU. In fact, he is anything but dull and uninteresting in Norse mythology - instead...

  5. Professor Moriarty

    Who but the greatest foe of Sherlock - the most legendary villainous mastermind - could be the subject of my next episode? Moriarty is a character so legendary, he has a notable legacy just like Sherlock himself - and yet he has had a very different history as a character. Created in his…

  6. Welcome to the Dark Side

    Creating great villains is not an easy task - so it's not a wonder we don't always see them in the stories we come across.
