GTFO. Might've watched that one if I'd known that. Chick's scarry, just saying. <br /><br />I would quibble with KT on redeeming qualities. All too often, redeeming qualities read tacked on, a la Hannible Lecter's determination to better/heal/upgrade Clarice but not Will Graham. Of greater concern, for me, is competence. Don't get me wrong, an anti-(uncle?)-hero must have a redeeming quality to open the door to redemption before slamming it on all his/her hopes and dreams, a la Blanche Dubois/Stanley Kowalski. However, above all else, the big-bad must be competent. Which I believe counts as #5. <br /><br />Crazy (more commonly applied now days than evil) isn't enough. The Joker, contrary to his assertion, has a plan, Voldemort has a plan and Lecter has a (meal) plan.<br /><br />Happy Easter, all!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387831664633399290.post-27063907878259669272012-04-05T17:07:46.385-03:002012-04-05T17:07:46.385-03:00Nice.

One thing that I'D sort of add is that every villain needs at least one redeeming quality.Kimberlee Turleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04695299361596799423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387831664633399290.post-17296515437571557872012-04-05T13:48:37.697-03:002012-04-05T13:48:37.697-03:00Yes, thank goodness for movie adaptations ;)Yes, thank goodness for movie adaptations ;)BR Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07922746599627072649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387831664633399290.post-85876473731133156902012-04-05T12:43:38.649-03:002012-04-05T12:43:38.649-03:00So true.
