https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk What are the characteristics of an effective villain or antagonist? What makes them different from the hero or protagonist? Who is your favorite villian/antagonist? Why en-us 2020-09-22 13:07:28 UTC 2020-09-22 14:01:11 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f4ac.png miraco https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768051285 An effective villain or antagonist often has different goals than the hero or protagonist, which can get in the way. Usually the villain believes that they are doing the right thing, and that they are the true hero in a story. Not all antagonists are necessarily evil. An effective villain should also be a good person to stand against the hero. It would be hard to name my favorite villain/antagonist because most of the books I have read recently don't really have villains. The characters I've read about often face obstacles, but there isn't one person or organization they're against.]]> 2020-09-22 13:33:10 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768051285 s1751165 https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768051423 The characteristics of a villain can be anything, I think, silly to diabolical. It all depends on who the character is. It makes them different from the hero, because they are usually fighting for the opposite of what each other want. My favorite villain is Cruella DeVil. She is so eccentric. I've never seen another villian like her. Plus, she has her own song.]]> 2020-09-22 13:33:12 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768051423 https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768051453 an effective antagonist is someone that doesn't leave the hero waiting and is very cunning.  They also have hidden weaknesses. they are different from the hero probably because they have different beliefs and stand for different things, or because they want to wreak havoc and the hero doesn't want that. My favorite antagonist is Ben Linus from Lost, he's very cunning and knows how to get under the hero's skin. He's also extremely manipulative and violent. ]]> 2020-09-22 13:33:12 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768051453 https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768051544 Villains usually have a tragic backstory, which almost justifies their actions. While heros spend their lives helping everyone they can, villains try to oppose them, and cause A LOT of collateral damage. my favorite antagonist is Loki, ( in the real myths, not the marvel movies) because his actions are almost justified by his childhood.]]> 2020-09-22 13:33:13 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768051544 https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768051597 To me effective villains or antagonist  is just as interesting as protagonists because they have flawed human traits, like greed and the want to be remembered, just like protagonists. The thing that makes them different from heroes is that with villains they let their darker side take control of them and used their anger or greed to make them stronger. I think my favorite villain is Syndrome from the Incredibles, because I can relate to being ignored by someone you look up to and thinking that the only way you could prove yourself to them was by beating them.]]> 2020-09-22 13:33:14 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768051597 https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768051771 1. A villian always has goals. Hero's can also have goals but there's are much more common. Villain's will stop at nothing to achieve their goals unlike heroes.

My favorite villain is the reverse flash.]]> 2020-09-22 13:33:19 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768052085 https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768052197 An effective antagonist, in my opinion, has a reason to be bad. (I don't like when villains go "let's take over the worlddddd" and don't say why they want to take over the world.) What makes an antagonist different from the protagonist is that the antagonist is always doing things to make the world worse or trying to stop the protagonist, while the protagonist tries to make the world better. My favorite villain is the holy Hilk church from the book "Skeleton Knight in Another World". I like how they are a church, who say that they want to help the world be a better place, but they are actually trying to assassinate royals and destroy cities. ]]> 2020-09-22 13:33:20 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768052197 s2031356 https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768052269 an antagonist should be a person who has history with the protagonist and there should be a reason that they are clashing my id my villian is the world in most of my books so I cant really describe it]]> 2020-09-22 13:33:21 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768052269 https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768052311 Mainly darkness is a running theme in media, a tragic backstory with lots of misunderstanding. What make them different is usually their twisted ideals, for example "In order to restore peace to society, we must destroy humanity!" things like that. My favorite antagonist is Tomura Shigaraki from My Hero Academia]]> 2020-09-22 13:33:22 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768052311 s1676563 https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768053145 Effective villains or antagonists are described in great detail and have a very clear personality. Whether that character is more of a flimsy, comical villain or a sadistic, manipulative, and emotionless monster, describing that effect that the villain has on the room really brings that story together. Making the villain different from the hero has been something that I have seen done differently in many books. I think something that works very well is relationship between the two (or more who knows) characters. Seeing the too interact and being able to see those opposites are something that helps us see the differences more clearly as we read on. I don't particularly have a favorite villain and/or antagonist at the moment. This is probably because I have not read a book that had an "outstanding" villain character. In both of my favorite books, there was not one sole antagonist and I think that adds a certain effect to the book as well. You do not always need someone clearly "evil" in a plot to make a good story.]]> 2020-09-22 13:33:31 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768053145 https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768053242 I think that the antagonist has to differ from the rest of the crowd.  He has to have the willpower to oppose evil. Personally, I think he has to be cunning and smart.  Also, I think the antagonist has too have a interesting backstory.
My favorite antagonist(for this moment) is Tyrion Lannister. I like him, because in the story you can observe him changing his perspective. Since he cannot fight, he has to be sly and smart to remain alive. Also, in the story, you can't really tell who is the protagonist. Everyone just fights others for control.]]> 2020-09-22 13:33:32 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768053242 s1937691 https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768053248 An effective antagonist is a character who has bad intent because of something that has happened to them in the past, or greed. They usually are opposing the protagonist who is trying to stop there wrong-doing. At the very end of the book, movie, or series, the protagonist usually wins. I really don't have a favorite antagonist although a like most antagonists as long as they are not corny. I  especially like antagonists who have good intent, but there actions are wrong, because i like to see their way of thinking. ]]> 2020-09-22 13:33:32 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768053248 https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768053483 An effective villain is a character who cause's pain or struggle for the protagonist or hero. They are different from the hero because they usually cause pain our discomfort for the other characters while the hero helps and assists the other characters. My favorite villain is ]]> 2020-09-22 13:33:34 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768053483 https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768055509 Generally, a villian does things not permited by the law. Most of the time, villains maket things harder for the protagonist. This is not a rule, as the villain can be the protagonist, or main character.

But, when the antagonist does something completely against the protagonist's moral code, then it gets serious. That's when we have an actual villain versus just another bad guy. To make it interesting the villain must seem more powerful, or maybe just plain unpredictable and crazy. Most heroes have to face through many predicaments to catch up. The greatest villain should always be 10 steps ahead, that's right, 10, not just one. What makes it even BETTER is when the villain has a backstory revealed with the hero. Whether if the villain turns out to have been a betrayer, or the person who was there with the hero in his/her childhood. Or the fact that the character was presumed dead with scientific evidence. Or maybe if it's just all about how the villain knows everything and is part of something bigger. When a crime lord has complete overtake of the city, or when he/she has everyone on a payroll or dirt on them. Its always so interesting when mysteries are revealed, or when it's always coming unexpected. You always want a surprising advantage.]]> 2020-09-22 13:34:08 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768056426 https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768058723 an effective villian is smart and can outthink the hero, plan ahead. in my opinion, they shouldn't have a clear goal that they make known (ex. destroy the hero, take over the world, etc.) they should be able to act very well in order to fool the hero and other people. My favorite villian is Shizuku Murasaki because her Nen ability is very powerful and I like her design.]]> 2020-09-22 13:34:35 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768058723 https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768073094 2020-09-22 13:37:18 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768073094 https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768079755
They have a a evil  or sneaky character to them. What makes them different is that they try to do something to mess something up or destroy not like the rest of the characters. i like the antagonist behave most of the time they play their role better. example: lord voldemort ]]> 2020-09-22 13:38:37 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768079755 https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768084821 An affective villian needs to have a very good backstory that lead him to become the bad guy.  It can't just be, "Because they want to rob the bank." There is always a reason for everything.

The backstory is what can make them different from the main character, the hero. Or in different circumstances, another villian. A villan can be against a villan, they don't always have to be partners!

My favorite antagonist is...well, nobody. I don't really like an villians because they are evil. I guess Varien from Tangled the series, though, later he becomes good.]]> 2020-09-22 13:39:35 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768084821 https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768090051 2020-09-22 13:40:37 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768090051 https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768096430 2020-09-22 13:41:51 UTC https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768096430 https://padlet.com/p00129501/grv6g91vhjchdcsk/wish/768100650 A villain has evil Tactics.
