Supervillain

On one hand, he aspires to prove he is the most evil supervillain in the world by stealing the moon. On the other hand, in the process of stealing the moon, he becomes a caring, compassionate person through adopting three orphaned girls. Gru was driven to express his villainous side to prove himself worthy of getting a loan to steal the moon. This caused him to hide his sensitive side from the public, and possibly even from himself. When he adopted the three orphaned girls, he was forced to face his caring side but still felt pressure to hide it from the villain world. In the end of the movie, however, his kind side won his internal battle and he became a great father and a virtuous man. In Despicable Me, Gru represents two clashing ideologies: villainous versus virtuous. He has to be villainous to be accepted into the supervillain world and become the worst villain in the world, but he has to be virtuous to be a good father to his girls. He struggles with the two clashing sides, but eventually learns that being a good father to the girls is more important that having prestige in the supervillain world. In this way, he had to mask certain qualities within himself to fit in with different societal norms. As seen in Despicable Me, social Hayman 1 constructions have led people to mask their true personality from the general…

Now one of the most recognized heroes in the world with his own branded video game, Dynamo can spout catchphrases brainstormed by his PR guy, Marco, and take selfies with the tourists—but he can’t put together a résumé or make friends as the quieter, humble, sweet Jerry Craig. He can’t…

to end up like Krypton. Although the world was not exactly ready for Superman, he never stopped to earn the trust of the people, so he combatted with evil forces for the greater good. Ruzicka pointed out that although many heroes may have their differences, the one thing that they all have in common is “they always fight in the name of good, in the name of honest citizens, and they are always victorious” (Ruzicka 46). This is what makes them different that the supervillains we’ve come to know…

It’s just another day for me. Another day to be slayed by the knight and watch in envy as he carries the princess to ‘safety’. My life is only a fairytale. A fairytale in which I am the villain and the knight is the hero. I never wanted to be born like this and I mostly certainly don’t want it to continue happening. However, it cannot come to a halt. I have endless lives and endless nights and days to cry out in agony on how fucking bad my life is. When I try to speak, a blazing blue inferno…

The Gun by Paul Langan was the first book I read alone back when I was in 7th grade. I was in my English class examining the shelf of books in the back of the room then a thought came to my head that I never read a book that I wasn’t force to read for homework or read over to prepare for a chapter quiz or test. So I asked my teacher if I could borrow the book for a few weeks which she allow. This book was my first that I didn’t have to stress over about reading 50 pages for the weekend or taking…

Have you ever watched a movie and wondered where the villain came from? Truthfully the answer is probably no, however it is still a somewhat interesting topic. Is there one specific place that villains should come from? Should it vary? I personally think it should vary but in order to make the best villains they should be from one of three countries. The three countries that create the best villains are North Korea, Germany, and Russia. Odds are you’ve seen multiple movies where the antagonist…

Superheroes are a common thing in movies, TV, and especially comic books. These people fight for what’s right in the world, saving people from untimely death and stopping the terror caused by their rivals.

These Supervillains, as they’re called, have come and gone over the years, each one possessing a certain amount of talent and skill at their…
