Every writing portrays heroes as the “good guy” and the villain as “the evil guy who is completely tearing apart the entire universe.” In the episode of “advanced dungeons and dragons”, the tables completely turn around when the hero discovers that the villain is actually good and doesn’t mean any harm.
Although everyone takes the hero too seriously, a hero isn’t a hero without a villain. The villain brings out the best in the hero. Every single power of the hero is challenged when the villain ruins the hero’s plans and causes mass disruption. There are several movies and book series that have turned around the plot by revealing the goodness of a villain. Severus Snape in the Harry Potter series, for example. It took JK Rowling 7 books to ultimately reveal that every single evil and suspicious step that Snape pursued was just a way to save Harry from “you know who.”
Another wonderful example of a villain portrayed in a different light is from the movie “Thor: the Dark World.” Loki, who was always Thor’s jealous brother, ultimately reveals his soft side by rescuing Jane and giving up his life for Thor. Though his death is unclear, he did indeed turn out to be transformed.
From previous discussions about the journey of a hero, I would like to cite a fact that we all tend to ignore. Although the hero has an adventurous side, a motto, and other qualities that make him the star, a villain is also intelligent, competent and daring enough to fight someone as tough as a “hero.” Every hero has a villain inside him which is one main reason he is able to fight the villain, which is why I would end this argument by quoting one of my favourite sayings by the Joker, “we stopped checking for monsters under our bed when we realised they were inside us.”
