"The worst part about having a mental illness is people expect you to behave as if you don't."...This is so true and its why the issue only continues to grow and get worse.

The easiest villains to accept are the ones we look at and say, "I'm not like that person, " but the _best_ villains are the ones we look at and say, "We're the same, but I have limits." Those villains are the ones we learn from.

I am a FIRM believer that Joker was a necessary and important movie, about how society creates its own monsters. One snide gesture from everyone until the victim snaps and another shooting is born

As a kid I used to identify with the "good guys" in the movies. As I grow older, I completely understand and sympathize with the bad guys.

"Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War, no Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war. Our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars, but we won't. We're slowly learning that fact, and we're very, very pissed off."

This one feels very relevant today.

We look up to the heroes, but we learn from the villains. Sadly its easy to be a "villain" and its easy to relate to why they have become the way they have, because once you learn the hard truths then you think that reality deserves nothing from you. But the heroes accept that truth and still fight to make it mean something in the end. The dichotomy of heroes and villains is so simple and yet so deep at the same time. Neither are truly correct, theres truth in both sides and both sides are looking to become something "more".
Great selection of clips!

"Heroes and villains always have the same back story—pain. The difference is what they choose to do about it. Villain says “the world hurt me, I'll hurt it back” Hero says “the world hurt me, I'm not gonna let it hurt anyone else.” Heroes use pain. Villains are used by it." - Alex Hormozi

That First quote is basically "The benality of evil" and it's true. Real saddens me how often people just ignore terrible things when it's inconvenient.

Fight Club...my all-time favorite movie...!

[AshyView]

The heroes have to win every time. The villain only has to win once.

If you look at people who have suffered trauma and have not been given healthy ways to deal with it, and the rage that comes with it, that is a relatable villain. That's why Arthur's joker is quite relatable to me. When it comes to the guy from 7, the sins that he's referring to, aren't necessarily sins themselves, but the seeds of real sin (murder, torture, ect)

a hero will destroy you to save the world, a villain will destroy the world to save you

As a child, I was afraid of the dark. For the monsters that linger there.

As an adult, I'm afraid of the light. For the monsters that linger inside.

“Wanting people to listen you can’t just tap them on the shoulder anymore you have to hit them with a sledgehammer”
He’s kind of right tbh 😂

[rustkarl]

People meme Joaquin Pheonix’s Joker to hell and back but all too often I find myself agreeing with his grievances.
Certainly not his reaction, but it really does feel like civility and empathy are so lacking.

*Villains are sometimes created, and sometimes born. But most importantly… created*

[nmn]

Kids like heroes, because they're idealistic and often innocent.
But it's when you get older, and have seen your fair share of everyday crap, that you start to emphasize with the villains. Not justifying any, but I do get where they're coming from...

[starkilr]

As time goes on, Tyler Durden makes more and more sense. Minus the cult and terrorism

[cosminsevenstefan]

I reluctantly given up at the world and decided to become a villan.

These are great. Next up, please include Prince Nuada from Hellboy II! The motivations behind his actions are also very understandable!
