Everyone copes with tragic accidents differently some go completely mad while others try to make the best of it. As stated in an article “Knowing how a man who would find himself becoming the root of all evil within the Marvel Universe would begin with the troubled childhood”(“Red Skull (Character)”).

In the epic "Beowulf," and the novel "Grendel," the motifs of "Good v. Bad," and "Hero v. Monster" are prevalent. These motifs can be seen in most works of fiction in society, and really they are true as a societal mindset in general. Most people tend to be inquisitive; they want to know the "why," and they want to know the culprit behind it. Humanity's inquisitive mindset is the womb for all of the "monsters" that are birthed into this not-so-black-and-white world.

Well, a twisted hero is a leader who gets tasks done with different tactics, compared to others. In society, heros are shown doing all good and no bad.

Any ordinary character can be feature has a villain. Although, they play a very crucial part and have a purpose for their quick-witted in the storyline.

Superheroes have been scrutinized for several for methods dealing with criminals and how they react in their everyday lives. Inner personal problems of a hero have a way to change the meaning of their status and affect the effectiveness of a hero’s influence and philosophical meaning. This is usually forced into comic books and movies to give a character an air of grit in their media. Sometimes this creates a beautiful masterpiece of story and introduces depth to the character, but it can also have a detrimental to the image of the character. Taking a darker tone with a superhero type character is ultimately a bad idea in the long run because it’s is hard to create a mature story with most characters without deviating from what the fans believe in the character and how they are seen by others causing problems for the parent company, giving characters a darker tone can destroy a classic character’s easily recognizable characteristics also, the move can sink a company whose reputation was ruined by the decision.
This construction allows the audience to identify who was good and who was bad, the perfect illustration of good vs evil. Jared Welling Cook (2011) for example, explains that the Nazi is still portrayed as “a symbol of the tyrannical state and pure evil” and that the way the “evil deeds” done are apparent in how they are portrayed in movies since World War II as stereotypical bad guys. The enemies in conventional movies are constructed to be “the other” or “the embodiment of evil” meanwhile the protagonists are the embodiment of virtues, goodness, heroism, innocence, etc. In film Such as Rambo, Top Gun, and Iron Eagle suggests that the enemies are so evil and the heroes are so good and full of virtues (Kellner, p.

In popular culture today, many characters from film, television, and music, are idolized. Particularly, many fictional and real-life characters are depicted to act both heroicly and villianously. For example, Hugh Glass, the protagonist of The Revenant, and Alan Turing, the central character of The Imitation Game, are depicted as the heroes of their respective films. In contrast, The Joker, the antagonist of The Dark Knight, acts quite like a villain, with certain intentions. On a personal level, I feel that I can relate to each of these characters in their occasionally perilous situations.
“To create a lovable villain you need to make them characters to whom people relate.” (Skinner, R.)
The current research explores why people tend to see villains in film as more likable than their heroic counterparts. This is based on past research which has shown that individuals may like morally ambiguous characters because they are able to excuse theses characters’ bad behaviors through the process of moral disengagement (Krakowiak & Tsay, 2011). The overarching thesis is that people tend to see villains in film as more likable as we can see the moral ambiguity in them that we see in ourselves. In the first section of this paper, I will discuss background research on how moral disengagement affects character perception and liking.

When you as a kid watches cartoons about heroes and villains, the villains always strife to be evil. But in reality you will not hear people brag about being evil, because no one really wants to be evil, they just want to stand up for what they believe in. The story Where Are
Everything in life is a matter of perspective. The villains and heroes that we encounter are decidedly their roles because of how their actions affected us and how we chose to interpret it at the time. Upon later reflection, anyone and anything can be noble or corrupt. An example being when I was in the seventh grade, a woman named Michelle moved into my life. Quite literally, since she moved into my family’s house about two weeks after meeting her. My mother, being too generous, offered her a room when she was homeless.
I used to love renting movies from Blockbuster videos as a child. They had so many stores and locations to rent videos. They manage to survive transitions like VHS to DVD fine because they kept up with the trend and made the adjustment (Newman, 2010). Other companies like Netflix, Redbox, and Video-on-demand drastically affected the video and DVD industry and blockbuster was so confident in their store front business strategy that they did nothing to get on pace with the trend. That was a huge mistake and it cost them so much money that they had to eventually file for bankruptcy.
