Some people actually resonate with villains more than people realise, or even align with them. At some point they go 'ok, villain, teach me how', the villain gives them permission to be abhorrent.

And this is just, fuck. I'm past the point that people can actually seperate fiction from reality. So we'd might as well have some villains who have some kind of moral complex, not every kind but. I want interesting villains, not mary sue john doe villains.
