Basically the Harley Quinn show.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 32 points 1 week ago

Harley being Batman's therapist and keeping his identity secret ("Doctor-patient confidentiality") was one of the most wholesome things ever.

the episodes of the venture bros where the monarch is forced to interact with other villains are the best.

[–] benignintervention@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Baron underbite knocking on the monarch's door for a place to crash because he "just got divorced"

Heros: "We did it, we finally killed the evil bad guy"

The evil bad guy's 12 best friends:

Organisation 13 if they care for each other

[–] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Villains are usually better written, more developed characters while the good guys are just good for sake of being good.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Isn't that because there are fewer unambiguous ways to be "good"? Even many people doing "good" could be seen by others as being evil?

  • "I'm saving the forest!" "You're killing loggers"
  • "No one will every go hungry again!" "You stole every piece of arable land and only grow the food you want to exist"
  • "I've saved everyone's soul. Everyone is going to the happy afterlife when they die!" "Which religion's afterlife are you calling the 'happy' one?"
[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

I defeat Joker and saved 10 people's life!

No you dingus! Letting Joker live mean more people will be killed before you stop him again!

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Also, villains are often coded as minorities, whereas the heroes are basically the mainstream.

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I remember an animated show where the reason why the villain was evil and how they were defeated was because they were aromantic

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I keep identifying the the villains, but eventually, I realized that the writers of mainstream media are heavily invested in the status quo.

[–] the_dopamine_fiend@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Dimension 20 basically did this with Escape From the Bloodkeep and it was, as usual, fantastic.

[–] snf@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

My first thought! Although apparently it was designed to end in PvP. One of the best seasons in my book, definitely the top sidequest season.

[–] RandomStickman@fedia.io 13 points 1 week ago

Jessie and James and Meowth

I thought of Lost. They’re not all villains, but they’re all kind of shitty.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Seinfeld.

You're describing Seinfeld.

Stupid, sexy Jerry.

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] kyle@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Exactly my thought. If you don't have a session once a month where you look around and ask "are we the baddies?" then what the heck are we doing here.

Season 3 of Legend of Korra does this pretty well, though the villains are also united by an ideology that drives them to act.

[–] Korne127@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Villains or antiheroes? Because this sounds like anti-heroes but villains are rather the people letting starving people die for profits.

[–] rhadamanth_nemes@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)
[–] Remotedeck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 week ago

The villains code as well. Worms better though

[–] MasterNerd@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

It breaks my heart that Worm never got more attention. It's probably the best superhero (or villain depending on your perspective) story I've ever read

[–] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

Huh, I just realized why I like the Fast and Furious franchise so much

[–] Bosht@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I feel like the animated movie 'Bad Guys' kind of encomappses this. They're a 'ride or die' crew that is bad, at least at the beginning. It's a good movie I recommend a watch.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

"What? I wanted a longer car chase, its the best part."

Seriously that link is the first 6 minutes of the movie and if that doesnt absolutely hook you into watching it, its not for you.

Also my 5yo daughter makes me put on that song and do the sunglasses thing, shit is so adorable.

[–] Bosht@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Honestly the car sold me like 50 percent on that movie, haha. It's such a short bit of the movie but it's just fun and the car is obviously badass.

[–] earphone843@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

Kinda like It's Always Sunny, but better

[–] adoxographer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Isn’t that just DOOM patrol?

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Doom Patrol isn't made up of villians. They are people whose superpowers caused them to be traumatized in one way or another.

[–] adoxographer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I agree, but they are very shitty “heroes” to the point of causing plenty of villain like fallout 😅 the rest really fits the bill though.

[–] Killer_Tree@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

I haven't seen it mentioned yet, but for a good read from a Villain perspective try A Practical Guide to Evil

https://practicalguidetoevil.wordpress.com/summary/

[–] deus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

This reminds me of the Phantom Troupe.

[–] kibiz0r@midwest.social 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] Korne127@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

How would you say they are villains? Some may classify as antiheroes, but like… they basically literally try to save people from extermination.

[–] kibiz0r@midwest.social 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah, “villain” isn’t a match, but “sexy, unhinged, and morally bankrupt” hits a lot closer.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Wait, so what is going on over in the USA, but sexy??

I guess that would be significantly more palatable ... still murder tho.

But if I could choose my dictator I would like a big mommy dommy goth, pls!
(I would be a boot-locker & it would be illegal to kink-shame me!)

That's just what Sexy Lexy did!!!
Friendship is magic!
