Top Stories

At least when it comes to entertainment, we're all taught to believe that being kind will take you far and that the good guy always wins over the villain.

It's easy to assume things about history since we weren't actually there. We're taught to believe everything we read, but often times, it takes more research to figure out the truth.

There are a lot of historical figures we believe were bad based on what we first read or heard. However, upon further research, we find out they weren't actually that bad.

There is nothing better than a great villain.

They are what makes a great story.

What would be the point of Batman without The Joker or Catwoman?

Who is Luke without Vader?

As an actor, I've always had the best time being the villain.

They're just more in tune with life. Even when they're bats**t crazy.

That's why we never forget them.

RedditorRito_Harem_Kingwanted to discuss the bad "guys" we just can't shake.

So they asked...

"What villain can you just not hate?"
