    Their influence seems to be drawn from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, a classic pairing of master and monster. One could make the argument that the universally known relationship between Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader in George Lucas’s original Star Wars Saga follows a similar path; a manipulative ruler twisting the soul of a younger pupil in order to exact his bidding. Another film that sticks out to me is Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 classic Psycho. Although the…

    The Villain Must Perish Harry Potter must kill Voldemort. Batman must fight the Joker. Luke Skywalker must defeat Darth Vader. The villain must be defeated by the hero. Every story from a tragic romance to a horrific adventure has a villain. Someone we are rooting against; someone we want destroyed.
