you know what’s a really good trope? “the power of friendship” but they’re all VILLAINS. just a bunch of sexy, unhinged, & morally bankrupt characters who would do anything for each other. absolutely unparalleled

Isn’t that just DOOM patrol?
Wait, so what is going on over in the USA, but sexy??
I guess that would be significantly more palatable … still murder tho.
But if I could choose my dictator I would like a big mommy dommy goth, pls!
(I would be a boot-locker & it would be illegal to kink-shame me!)Villains or antiheroes? Because this sounds like anti-heroes but villains are rather the people letting starving people die for profits.
Reminds me of an all evil campaign I played in once.
I recall “heroically” leading the towns militia into a wererat den on the night of the full moon, only to lock them all in together and finish off the stragglers on both sides afterwards. Turns out militiamen’s scalps look awfully similar to those of reverted wererats, and we turned quite a profit.
Basically the Harley Quinn show.
Woof, woof!
Was gonna say
Heros: “We did it, we finally killed the evil bad guy”
The evil bad guy’s 12 best friends:
This reminds me of the Phantom Troupe.
I like how they threw “sexy” in there.
It’s an integral load(:))-bearing essential element!!
Makes me think they’re talking about Always Sunny
Holy poops, that’s actually a good des.
Especially the sexy part.Nothing sexier than cultivating mass.
the episodes of the venture bros where the monarch is forced to interact with other villains are the best.
Baron underbite knocking on the monarch’s door for a place to crash because he “just got divorced”
I’m currently reading a series called Everybody Loves Large Chests. The protagonist is a dungeon mimic who gains sentience and levels up. It collects a bunch of sexy villain characters along the way. Surprisingly compelling.
It’s weeb degeneracy with rape, fantasy Nazis, and a loli that shouts Ora Ora as she punches because the author took a fantastic premise and smeared shit all over it.
It got recommended to me by a Redditor.
I do not forgive their sins, or yours for spreading it.
Villains are usually better written, more developed characters while the good guys are just good for sake of being good.
Isn’t that because there are fewer unambiguous ways to be “good”? Even many people doing “good” could be seen by others as being evil?
- “I’m saving the forest!” “You’re killing loggers”
- “No one will every go hungry again!” “You stole every piece of arable land and only grow the food you want to exist”
- “I’ve saved everyone’s soul. Everyone is going to the happy afterlife when they die!” “Which religion’s afterlife are you calling the ‘happy’ one?”
Also, villains are often coded as minorities, whereas the heroes are basically the mainstream.

I haven’t seen it mentioned yet, but for a good read from a Villain perspective try A Practical Guide to Evil
