you know what’s a really good trope? “the power of friendship” but they’re all VILLAINS. just a bunch of sexy, unhinged, & morally bankrupt characters who would do anything for each other. absolutely unparalleled

    Villains or antiheroes? Because this sounds like anti-heroes but villains are rather the people letting starving people die for profits.

      Doom Patrol isn’t made up of villians. They are people whose superpowers caused them to be traumatized in one way or another.

    the episodes of the venture bros where the monarch is forced to interact with other villains are the best.

    Wait, so what is going on over in the USA, but sexy??

    I guess that would be significantly more palatable … still murder tho.

    Dimension 20 basically did this with Escape From the Bloodkeep and it was, as usual, fantastic.

      My first thought! Although apparently it was designed to end in PvP. One of the best seasons in my book, definitely the top sidequest season.

    Villains are usually better written, more developed characters while the good guys are just good for sake of being good.

      Isn’t that because there are fewer unambiguous ways to be “good”? Even many people doing “good” could be seen by others as being evil?

      • “I’m saving the forest!” “You’re killing loggers”
      • “No one will every go hungry again!” “You stole every piece of arable land and only grow the food you want to exist”
      • “I’ve saved everyone’s soul. Everyone is going to the happy afterlife when they die!” “Which religion’s afterlife are you calling the ‘happy’ one?”

        I remember an animated show where the reason why the villain was evil and how they were defeated was because they were aromantic

    This reminds me of the Phantom Troupe.

      I thought of Lost. They’re not all villains, but they’re all kind of shitty.
