Here’s a hot take: villains should be relatable.

Not every villain, not every time, and certainly not to everyone at once, but there should be moments. We should, occasionally, be able to see ourselves in the bad guys, be able to understand how they got there.

Because it reminds us not to fucking go there.

Antis who get upset about villains having relatable qualities (often couched as being “romanticized” or “woobified”) are people who cannot bear to ever think of themselves as having the capability of being wrong.

Every human alive is capable of being a horrible person. Relatable villains remind us to keep an eye on that shit.

particularly in the beginning. they can be so far gone that we can’t relate to any of their desires anymore, but at some point, give your Big Boss something to want that we’ve all wanted.

To hurt someone who’s wronged them. To rule the world because other people aren’t doing it right. To take back something that was taken from them. 

Like it or not, we all started out as people, and the difference between either a villain or a hero is usually a thin enough line that we need to be conscious of toeing it.

i just wanna say that…there is a special spot in hell reserved for people who go to places where poverty stricken families are likely to show up…like say, the food bank, or the food stamp office…and leave religious tracts disguised as 100 dollar bills on the ground. 

God’s not going to reward you for taunting and shaming the poor. In fact I’m pretty certain being uncharitable is one of those things that got you smite’d in the old testament. 

hey an update to this, you also go to hell if you leave these as tips for your servers.

It counts as deception, defrauding, dishonesty, being uncharitable, being high-minded (haughty, arrogant), withholding the truth, and if we wanted to get real deep at the soul, HYPOCRISY, because you’re chastising them for a “love of money” when you love and hoard your money so hard you couldn’t even part with a dollar tip and instead left fake money to trick them while you make your escape you shifty fuck.

Hey actually I have one MORE thing to say and that’s this:

If you’re dropping this specific tract at places where poor families are likely to be, that adds an extra layer of shittiness to an already shitty thing to do.

Like on top of the fact that you’re raunting poor people with fake money, the fact that you have the absolute gall to use Christs words about the rich is utterly fucking appalling, because you dropped it in a place you know no rich people are gonna be.

The people that pick these up aren’t rich, and you know it.

They don’t pick them up out of greed, and you know it.

That’s WHY you dropped them in the parking lot of a food stamp office, a grocery store in a poor part of town, a food bank, the free clinic.

It was to ensure someone who desperately needs money would see it and pick it up, so you could then chastise them for greed.

You’d better haul ass to Church buddy because every time you drop one of these you wrack up a receipt of sins longer than my arm.

The character of Chief from Wonder Woman was played by Eugene Brave Rock who is from the Kanaii reserve in Southern Alberta. He took the inspiration for his character from real life WWI hero Mike Mountain Horse who is also from southern AB.
In the film Chief greets Diana in Blackfoot. Shortly after they have a conversation about how his people’s land was taken away by Steve’s people.

This is how you have First Nations representation: cast First Nations actors, draw from historical First Nations heroes and if they are going to speak a First Nations language cast someone who is part of that Nation!

He also personally created his whole look. Instead of the costume designer doing what they \think\ a native man would wear. He included things that would have personal significance to his character, not because it looks “Indian” *side-eyes the lone ranger*

This! All of this!!!
