Isnt alan literally said that black hat cant do or feel good? I mean, he said that by good bresence he feels some kind of discomfort?
a few extra things might explain why this happens: -The Black hat organization offers their services to ANY villain regardless of their actions, bodycount or ambitions; that means people that get labelled as villains even thought hey are good at heart are still their customers just as well as the truely vile -Black hat himself is a retired supervillain, and leading the company is his retirement plan, earning money and/or souls in the process. In that regard he doesnt care about how evil or not his customers are, only that they sign contracts with him.
i think black hat is just the type of villian who takes more pleasure in breaking the minds and morals of people rather then just lavishing in destruction and torment

Or the second half of season one.
I still like to think that Black Hat is a sort of 'evil one punch man' and that while there may be different wearers of the hats the underlying personality is this extremely old solid concentration of pure evil that ultimately wants one thing, a real challenge. Any apparent positive acts are linked to the overarching goal of bringing a hero powerful enough to serve as any actual opposition to Black Hat himself, a fundamentally selfish goal which Black Hat would happily sacrifice absolutely anything to achieve.

I think Black hat don't really have a higher goal, he simply is doing all it because he want and can do so, and if any side overtake the other is bad for his business and personal amusement. He prefer the fight between "good" and "evil" continue because it is more entertaining. He like make people suffer and be miserable, but of they don't have hope and desires the suffering of most people became apathy.

In my opnion, the possobly plottwist in villanos, maybe is the fact that Black Hat make, not also make deals with villans, but also with people who want became heroes. Giving that a oportunity the game with Heroes and villans continue, so that Lord Black Hat make mour deal, and consume mour souls.
Before you explain the theories about villainous lore it's kinda reminded me alot of helluva boss for how story structure and characters the main bad is mixed with less blitzo and more alastor the nerd one is pretty much moxxie the lizard lady is more millie violent nature and the bear is loona but not loona?

I’m so happy to see you guys covering Villainous again! It’s been quite a wait to finally have the whole season on streaming in English, but it’s been really fun so far and I can’t wait to see where the show goes 👀
I like this series....glad its officially released on Max and hope for S2 and more episodes! Love the cameos and references to many different series
You don’t how long I wanted this series to be a thing in the US that wasn’t shorts or crossover like in victor and Valentino looking forward to the era of Black Hat 👏🏽👏🏽🗿🎩
i believe Black Hat brings balance to the Villainous universe. i mean think about it, without evil then there would be no good. i think 505 is meant to be Black Hat's complete opposite, and possibly his top enemy in the future, either that or Goldheart is Black Hat's complete opposite

So he pretty much is No different than any Black Person today claiming to be stuck In the Ghetto Hood yet gets rich rapping and still commits crimes because it's Genetic. Blackhat is literally the WORST form of Diversity and Wokeism because he just proves the Race Realist Darwinist Effective by instigating most crimes.
I don’t think Black Hat is in any way good, but I do think he’s working for the one true goal every villain strives for. I believe that he’s going to finally put an end to the “good guys always win” trope, I believe his goal to to finally even out the scales so that good doesn’t always win in the end. Also I don’t believe he’ll wipe out all good mainly because that would put him out of business.
1- demencia and 2, i have waited FOR SO FREAKING LONG to have villainous in english
I’m such a fan of this show, I’ve seen the shorts on Cartoon Network and loved it then and now seeing the characters getting even more development is making me Lv it more
I really hope they give us more information about Flug’s past or even information on how gold heart and Flug met to begin with
I don’t care what anyone says, I still love miss Heed (even if she still needs to love herself ) 💕💕💕💕
What topics I'd like you to cover? Def Moon Girl or Valiant Prince Ivandoe. Maybe the new Total Drama Island or Clone High
A video explaining what dementia is would be 100% worth the wait
I have a pic from one of the shorts where Black Hat scares Dementia by turning into a monstrous version of 505. After she runs off terrified, during his transformation back into his villainous self, you can see a small glimpse of him as this disgusting flesh abomination. What’s interesting about this glimpse though is that it shows him with both what appears to be a normal man’s head who appears to be in an extreme amount of suffering, whilst there’s another more evil looking head that has multiple eyes and sharp teeth. What we can infer from this is that Black Hat may have been once a normal man, but due to a ritual like what you said in the video, he became a monstrous villain. It’s just food for thought though
I'm so happy you did a villainous video. I needs more love :D
I love how you have a new oc for this topic
Hope we get voice actors cameos. one scene they completely muted Frankie. Hope we get more.and I hope Max release’s the Spanish version
From what I've seen, Black Hat definitely is an evil being; the sort of demonic entity that could very well rival the Devil himself. But his power seems to be his curse; with his abilities, he would have no trouble taking down heroes he encountered and dominating the world; the ultimate dream of almost every classic super villain everywhere. The problem for Black Hat is it would be too easy to do so. He's a showman who likes to flaunt his abilities only for moments that would entertain him, and instead prefers to watch his minions struggle to keep up with his demands. Another aspect of his sadistic personality that supports this is the fact he is a deal maker. There's more profit for him to be gained from people who come to him willingly; whether it's their souls that he bargains for, or their assistance in causing him entertainment at the expense of others torment. At the end of the day, Black Hat gets what he wants.
I really hope this show becomes big. It has great voice acting, premise, animation, pacing, amazing villain, and very entertaining.
when the hell is it coming to the uk im so impatient?
The years I have been waiting you do not know how LONG I have ben waiting for this. The wait is over.
Finally a video on this show! Villainous is so much fun to watch!
hope that they post more. I really enjoyed black hat and want more.
I really want to see your theory on what's going to happen in episode 5 I like to know what everybody thinks is going to happen in every episode it's fun to hear the suggestions and stuff
*To be honest, I will be kinda meta and funny that the creator of Villianous made an episode about someone making a theory about Black Hat secretly being good and it cuts to someone/you being terrified at Black Hat as he speaks to both you and us/the camera that HE ISNT A GOOD GUY*
5:54 Did anyone notice Zavok from Sonic(L) and one of the Powerpuff Girls (R) in the background
I like how, while we see the villains other than black hat all not being totally evil, and instead being more like anti-heroes while the heroes are presented as just a bunch of dickheads.
I just cant wait to watch more episodes of these awesome show and its so cool. More episodes of Black Hat pleases?
Fun Fact: Markiplier voices 505 and Black Hot (Buff Black Hat)
I can sort of see this: a world where the "heroes" are actually the villains screwing stuff up, and the "villains" are actually the heroes trying to make the planet a better place. (This is my opinion, btw.) I like this twist😊
@jahnnyponce9315
10 ай бұрын
Though is a nice twist and is seen in other fiction works like hero killer is not really the case for this show in particular- all the sides are morally grey since all of them have a wide variety of character with all different morality and there is indeed morally good characters in the hero side like adelita and her husband g-lo omega and ring worm to name a few- theres also a lot of terrible villains like the pirate that made a deal with black hat to seal an entire civilization of creatures in a book to tprture them whos name i dobt remember- mentalaguna who is a monster that takes a beutiful form to eat her preys bonnivet the universal conquerer miss valdoom the vampire that eats other womans youth to keep herself beatiful who also conquers worlds and so on- the only side that seems to be more morally good than the rest is the podemos bailar side also known as men without hats who are both against black hat and against peace (the organization that manages heros ) and well peace itself is pretty sketchy since they were the literal responsibles of the creation of virus and also were pretty close to kill a 16 year old miss heed by human experimentation to give her super powers and all they also didnt helped adelita with the problem of her husband being controlled by mascara macabra so she had to go to black hat- and they also covered miss heed mind controlling people and stuff
I like that black hat is without knowing is a into hero who help the authors
Bro, if Señor Blackhat heard you call him a hero, all I can say, is I feel sorry for you when he comes to voice his opinions on that idea you had
I think Black Hat is neutral party I bet he would help both sides he would destroy Heroes but when the Villains have to much power he would stop them and show he is in control.
There's an official comic for villainous that follows penumbra and sun blast
Thank you for covering Villainous.
If there Whould be a Cartoon Network crossover series and black hat being the main antagonist I have an interesting idea how the story will go and what they Whould do to his character: Black hat probably gets tired that all the villains of the CN multiverse always fail to defeat the heroes so he decides to make his hands dirty and start an invasion on all universes. The heroes then team up and maybe one of them finds a new ability(possibly something related to universes) and this ability manages to let black hat actually feel pain. No true defeat yet, but still in pain. This Whould led to black hat developing some sort of fear against this new power, as he always was known as The invincible And immortal black hat so for him to actually experience pain is something new to him as it means he no longer is immortal. I think that afterwards black hat Slowly loses all sanity and becomes so self destructive in his final fight because of this constant fear, that the heroes managed to actually defeat him, Destroy All his delusion of Being Invincible and erase him from both existence and even out of the memories of all the villains who worked for him. I think that death Whould then be fitting for black hat as he always saw himself as above everyone, so for him to finally lose and shatter everything he worked for, Whould make an interesting breakdown and satisfying ending to this character.

AAAAAAH THANK YOU SO MUCH 😭😭😭
he's more like mammon and satan fused together than Lucifer.
for the "Black Hat is supposed to be the personification of all evil!" argument: A thing to keep in mind is that Evil dose not necessarily mean "bad". Good and evil are very subjective in many cases. A good example of this would be Pnumbra and Sunblast. on the surface from a "normal citizen's" point of view Sunblast is the hero beating down the evil Pnumbra who keeps blocking out the sun. From Pnumbra's point of view, she is just trying to make the world a better place while possibly curing hers and several other people's illness (even if it was her fault, as accidental as it was) in the process. Only to be beaten down by the supposed "hero" who wont even try to hear her out, all to make himself look better in the eyes of the public. A "hero" is not necessarily a hero, just like a "villain" is not necessarily a villain. The show seems to touch on this... a lot.
