Braid
still ain’t finished it after all these years 'cause of how hard some levels are (and i don’t wanna use a video every damn time)
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The newer one? If so, yeah, that’s true.

well he didn’t “tuned out to be the good guy”. He was a bad guy and later became good because of the girl.
I think the message of the film was more that he was always good (to some extent) and that his earlier actions were influenced by his upbringing (in contrast to Metro Man’s)
He simply grew up into the role of the villain. And then he played that role.
“Presentation” gives me goosebumps every time. Such a great scene
“Presentation!” is a regular reference in our lives.
Unfortunately the sequel absolutely lacks presentation. Its like they completely forgot what made the first movie good.
There’s a sequel? 😬
Sadly yes.
Just looked it up. None of the original VA cast (all recast). 2.1 stars on IMDB. That’s the lowest I’ve ever seen.
Osama bin Laden
Why the fuck did this make me laugh…now I need to downvote myself
Reviewing his career and accomplishments - the guy was a real life Michael Douglas in Falling Down… but followed through on a larger scale. And deaths, a whole lot more deaths.
Interview With the Vampire’s Lestat was a bloodthirsty murderer. The Vampire Lestat’s Lestat was a bloodthirsty murderer … with a conscience.
I loved the Vampire Lestat.
The golden hour.
In Tale of the Body Thief, he drinks orange juice and it makes him think of drinking sunshine.
Assuming you’re counting stories where the villain did very bad things for the purpose of a doing something good, there is an anime from 2005 called Speed Grapher.
Oof that was a hard one to watch sometimes
“Villains by Necessity” by Eve Forward.
Sophia, Garden of Eden, Genesis
Pokemon Sword and Shield.
Rose is trying to move the country off of fossil fuels and onto sustainable green energy. Somehow Gamefreak manages to portray this as being a terrorist and extremist. How dare he try to move Galar away from coal?
I mean, he did recreate a cataclysmic event in the process, and the projected crisis was bound to happen in 1000 years… One can never be too prepared I guess.
What is that even trying to say? That there is such thing as going too far when fighting the energy crisis? lol

Game Freak’s writing team is invested in oil and coal, lol
Game freak is invested in producing shovelware.
The Sixth Day, one of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s please-take-me-seriously projects, is possibly the wrongest it is possible to be about whether clones are people. Still a fun movie. Just ass-backwards in its motivation. I’m not sure how much of its moral grey area was intended by the script or the direction. The anti-clone “good guys” are pretty terrorist-coded. Arnie’s just caught up in the middle of their guerrilla fight against a generic corporate bad guy. Who solved death. How terrible.
Off-topic Schwarzenegger faff: End Of Days is dumb. Jingle All The Way is the most 90s Christmas movie possible. Eraser is a slick action movie that somehow has no cultural cachet outside of every video game with a railgun.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban comes to mind.
In a sense, Bleach - twice!

Sousuke Aizen used deplorable methods in his attempt to achieve godhood and conquer the “empty throne of god”, but was ultimately justified when the forces of Yhwach, the legitimate son of God decided to invade and lay waste to the Soul Society. Subverted yet again when it is revealed that the current “Soul King” (the lynchpin that hold reality together and the pretend-ruler of the world) is in fact an empty husk of the original God, who was assassinated by the Shinigami because they feared his powers, and Yhwach’s bloody conquest was in fact an attempt at revenge. Some of his final words before dying are “I will create a world without the fear of death”.
Kill la Kill, at least with the primary antagonist as the main villain isn’t really introduced until pretty late in the story.
Magneto in the 90s. He even built an asteroid as a refuge for any mutant.
The older I get, more I agree with Magneto.
More like, the older the character gets, the more they update his backstory to be something the audience can sympathize with. Because a villain for villain’s sake gets old fast.
When the Sentinels start rounding up mutants, it is the biggest “I told you so” to Charles.
Magneto ftw. Xavier is a naive little bitch.
“You’re always sorry, Charles …and there’s always a speech!..but nobody cares.”
A Bioshock-like game set on Asteroid M would be, if you will excuse the parlance, baller.
You could say it would be out of this world.
Does Dr Doom count for this? He believes he’s seen humanity perish in every reality except the one where he becomes the absolute ruler.
Yeah and he gets unlimited power from the sabertooth looking god or whatever.
