I have
recently discovered that there is a formula for evil. A way to create
a villain that some would consider cool even though they are a killer
and all it takes is this one thing to make them completely evil and
irredeemable. Look at a show like Dexter. Man, remember when that
show was good? It was about a serial killer that worked with police.
He killed bad people while he himself was a bad person. He caught and
tortured people before killing them. Yeah, he had "The Code" but
he was still a bad guy. This will contain slight spoilers for the
shows House of Cards and Fargo.
This
kinda thing goes across the board. Shows like Luther where the main
character has rage issues and does dirty things to get the job done.
Sherlock who is a master manipulator. Game Of Thrones where everyone
is just a bad day about from mass murder. But no matter what these
characters do we can still pick out a favorite one.
"My
favorite is that guy with the huge sword."
"The
one that burned that village full of orphans last episode?"
"Yeah.
But still..."
