QUOTES FROM SUPERVILLAINS WHO WERE COMPLETELY RIGHT

Ducard / Ra's al Ghul (Batman Begins), Adrian Veidt / Ozymandias (Watchmen), Doc Ock / Dr. Otto Octavius (Spider-Man 2), Joker, Harvey Dent (The Dark Knight), Erik Lehnsherr / Magneto (X-Men: Days of Future Past), Lockdown (Transformers: Age of Extinction), Kylo Ren (Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi), Zemo (Captain America: Civil War), Bane (The Dark Knight Rises), Lex Luthor (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice), General Zod (Man of Steel)

Technically that Doc Ock quote was before he had fused with the arms and driven insane. At the time he was giving Peter that advice, he was genuinely a friendly professor trying to help a talented young man.

I actually love the Zod speach. The actor absolutely kills that scene, and Supes even after everything clearly pities him.

"Peace has cost you your strength. Victory has defeated you." Man, that hits hard.

“You wanna protect the world but you don’t want it to change. How can humanity survive if it’s not allowed to evolve” - Ultron

The Joker one is funny, because he tries to prove that point. However, in the movie, his point depends on a cruise ship full of inmates and one full of families trying to blow each other up. In the end, neither do. One because, they couldn't make themselves do it, the other one, because inmates would not let it be done.

An empire that is toppled by its enemies can rise again, but that same empire that collapses from within is dead FOREVER. I LOVE this quote.

"The trouble with loyalty to a cause, is that the cause will always betray you"

"There is a difference between you and me. We both looked into the abyss, but when it looked back at us… You blinked." - Batman

Man Of Steel is underrated to me. It didn’t deserve the hate it got. That speech from Zod was deep.

[Darkseidsolosfiction]

Zod loved his planet and he would do anything for it, while it might not be right it's still understandable (edit: no Zod couldn't choose another planet Because 1)they were almost out of fuel
2) planet had to be already habited)

You missed this one: "The one thing they love more than a hero is to see a hero fail, fall, die trying. In spite of everything you've done for them, eventually, they will hate you." - Green Goblin

[nyanffie]

"peace has cost you your strength, victory has defeated you" is probably the most realest one here. when people are comfortable of their success and stops there, everything tears apart when they meet a new one.

victory is a challenge not a reward. there is no true victory until we die of no regret.

Every single one of them had the exact same issue. They all correctly identified a problem, and then made the collossal, logical leap that, somehow, lots of murder was the best solution.

"You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
- Harvey Dent

[technewsfortechnoobs]

Michael Shannon's take on Zod in both Man of Steel and The flash (as awful as that movie as a whole was) was BRILLIANT!! Not a megalomanical zealot who craved power for himself, but a man who was born to be a leader and protector to his people on an absolute genetic level! At that point when it is a genetic imperative, he becomes VASTLY more dangerous an enemy than Zod from Superman II as his anger towards Superman is coming from the fact that he now has literally no purpose for existence.

[evil_resident]

Should have added Green Goblin saying "In spite of everything you've done for them eventually they will hate you, why bother?"

Even Superman felt a little sympathy for Zod, after his speech.

I was a homicide detective in Chicago for decades. Heath Ledger’s Joker quote strikes me as incredibly accurate. For some reason it always resonated with me.
