Confirm / Deny being green and red respectively is used when confirm is the option you're going for. When it's red and green, it means "Deny" is what you're going for. "Green" is the option you want the people to click with the least repercussions. Like you wouldn't put a green "Confirm" to a question like "Are you sure you want to delete everything?" because this can be done on accident way too easily.

Frieren is "Paragon character" like Merlin Gandalf Galadriel Moiraine Dumbledore Uncle Iroh estra, take your pike of the "Wise Master" tropes. They have already had their adventure and gained knowledge and experience, become the wise, leader, mentor, Master, teacher and so on. "Paragon characters" make very interesting main supporting characters, but "Paragon characters" are very difficult to make exacting main characters. The struggle, the pain, the growth, is normally what we expect and what we want out of a story. So "Paragon characters" are a hard sell for main character naturally, because they have experienced everything already.

You need to get the credit for the work you do. And if your coworker isn't as competent as you are, FCK THEM. The only valid point Geega is making here is that it's a waste getting approval from your coworkers. Fck them. The only person who matters is the person who can give you a raise or promotion. Who cares what your coworkers think? They'll bury you to get ahead; if you're not willing to do the same you already lost, you have hit the ceiling at the job and literally EVERYONE is going to walk on you as they advance their own careers. Listen, people - if you have any desire to advance at your job, your coworkers are NOT your friends, they are your competition.

One of the reasons I still love the evil ending of Dark Messiah of Might an Magic. Context: The story has you trying for most of the game to stop an evil cult from releasing an ancient immortal demon lord from a magical prison he was sealed in. But said demon lord also planted a succubus in the protagonist's head, trying to get him to actually release the seal. Also said demon lord is the protagonist's father. Good ending the seal is restored, succubus purged from protag's mind, and he marries a woman he has zero chemistry with and lives happily ever after, or so the fadeout claims. Evil ending breaks the seal, demon lord is released, and you'd expect a typical "You did your job now you're useless to me" kind of betrayal, right? But no, demon dad welcomes the protagonist with open arms, tells him that the succubus planted in his head was also chosen to be the protagonist's future queen, and now you're all going to go conquer the world together as a happy evil family.

I mostly agree, but I also like it when they have moments where the "Evil Guy, who is evil for evil's sake" has normal moments. Like... It's a bit cartoonish, but I love it when they show villains on off days or doing their morning routine. Why? I think it's funny. It really reminds you that, while they're not heroes, they also can't be perma-seated in their shadowy throne, ominously turned away from the camera while they pet their obligatory fluffy, white cat. Sometimes they need to get up, take a walk, grab some food and a cup of coffee, do some light reading, and THEN they go do bad guy stuff. Hell, most of the time, they don't even show villains doing research or battle planning. I don't want sympathetic villains, I want properly fleshed out capital EVIL villains. I clicked on this video because I saw Skeletor in the thumbo. Skeletor is hands down one of my favorite characters in animation because he's just a bad dude that make AMAZING noises. "Niiah! Curse you, He-Man!" That being said, I have no issues with sympathetic villains. Cartoonishly evil villains are great, but they're rarely threatening. I don't think they're meant to be. Villains with an agenda, however, are tangible to some extent. A hint of relatable ideology can do a lot to really cement the villain's threat. "I'm going to destroy the world because I'm evil and I can" is very unserious compared to "I will destroy humanity... for we are a blight upon this earth who take... and destroy everything that our greedy fingers can touch. An evolutionary reset is in order, and I shall be the arbiter of the end.". There's this weird affect that happens where the more... intangible something seems, the less threated we are by it and visa versa. That's why sympathetic villains work, and it's why you don't see cartoonishly evil villains as much anymore. However, I still do like a bad bad guy.
@JohnnyYeTaecanUktena8 күн бұрын
I like the villain that goes with you throughout your entire party but gradually as he sees all the injustice going around and probably loses a loved one he finally snaps and turns into the final boss thinking they are doing humanity a favor without realizing they are hurting the very world they are trying to save or change for the better. It's a interesting way to write a relatable villain as we all have felt at some point in our lives that society have failed everyone including us and have wanted to change it for the betterment of everyone but the villain in their broken mind when they had no one they could turn to for help is just doing what they think is best for everyone even if it robs them of free will. Like gradually seeing someone who you are journeying with gradually going down a spiral into a despair and eventually becoming the final boss feels way more realistic than how other villains are made. Though the evil for the sake of being evil actually does exist irl

I do agree the chatter who said the issue with sympathetic villain is they're too hard to write. Coupled that with the fact that people are very passionate about the good, well written ones and you get a LOT of failed attempts trying to mimic the famous examples.

@@PotionSmeller it being hard to write is not really the issue. As I said those who are well done are my favorite type of villain. The villain that is evil because they are evil are too cartoonish. And yeah, that is easy to write. But that doesn't mean they are good villains. And get lame no matter how well written. Inserting IRL. Take the people US fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. Many of those people joined those groups not because they are evil and want to do evil things. Vast majority joined because the collateral damage US cause and they were not happy about their friends and family dying at the hands of the people claiming to help them. And they want to defend their land from the invading force. Signed as US Veteran that played in the sand box who can understand why people fought against us and joined those groups.

I like the villain that goes with you throughout your entire party but gradually as he sees all the injustice going around and probably loses a loved one he finally snaps and turns into the final boss thinking they are doing humanity a favor without realizing they are hurting the very world they are trying to save or change for the better. It's a interesting way to write a relatable villain as we all have felt at some point in our lives that society have failed everyone including us and have wanted to change it for the betterment of everyone but the villain in their broken mind when they had no one they could turn to for help is just doing what they think is best for everyone even if it robs them of free will. Like gradually seeing someone who you are journeying with gradually going down a spiral into a despair and eventually becoming the final boss feels way more realistic than how other villains are made. Though the evil for the sake of being evil actually does exist irl
Both plain old evil villains and sympathetic villains, but my favorite is when sympathetic villains are done well. In more realistic world settings, the sympathetic villains work more since IRL people who do bad things rarely some I am bad because I am bad person.
The real thing is IRL, the bad guys because they are bad people are utterly convinced they're the good guys even as they destroy lives around them for their own gain.
@@freedantheeternal most people who have commit crimes are not actually bad people but people who have done bad things. Your black and white thinking really shows how myopic your world view is.
@@freedantheeternal nah most criminals are not really bad people, just people who did something bad. The outlier is what you said. Take people who join gangs they are not out here hey I want to hurt people. They are out here without many options in life. Which is shown when you invest in a community such as education, after school programs kids don't join gangs.
I do agree the chatter who said the issue with sympathetic villain is they're too hard to write. Coupled that with the fact that people are very passionate about the good, well written ones and you get a LOT of failed attempts trying to mimic the famous examples. The concept itself is good, it's just the gap between popularity and execution makes them seem lazy and derivative.
@@PotionSmeller it being hard to write is not really the issue. As I said those who are well done are my favorite type of villain. The villain that is evil because they are evil are too cartoonish. And yeah, that is easy to write. But that doesn't mean they are good villains. And get lame no matter how well written. Inserting IRL. Take the people US fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. Many of those people joined those groups not because they are evil and want to do evil things. Vast majority joined because the collateral damage US cause and they were not happy about their friends and family dying at the hands of the people claiming to help them. And they want to defend their land from the invading force. Signed as US Veteran that played in the sand box who can understand why people fought against us and joined those groups. The world is not black and white. That is why I like sympathetic villains over cartoonish evil villains.
Overlord's Ainz and Slime's Rimuru are perceived as evil and even commit mass genocide, sorry for spoilers.
Well, in Ainz's case, he is actually the villain of the story. I still have my mind blown by how many people still don't seem to get that Overlord is a villain-protagonist story. I don't know a thing about Rimuru, though, so no comment.
@@freedantheeternal he's a protagonist reincarnated as a slime monster, so he befriends and unites other monsters often hunted by humans.
Guisarme from 7th prince is a really great villain in that sense. Just pure evilness and really powerful. Like a shadow, the brighter, better, and the more likable Jade is, Guisarme becomes more dislikable to the readers for ruining such a good person.
Soul Edge is an evil sword that turned Siegfried into Nightmare by possessing him and using his body to steal thousands of souls by preying on his wish to resurrect his father (who he accidentally killed).
Ironically, the original reason for the no dating rule with Idols, sound oddly similar to how Sumo Wrestlers are brought up. When they start out, you are required to live in a stable, have a curfew, even what they are allowed to wear, and only once they rank up, are they granted more and more freedom.
