Romance Writers Weekly – Villains You Love to Hate

Hello, hello and welcome! It’s almost Halloween and I can’t wait. My husband and I are going to a Halloween party this Saturday, he is going to be the creepy Pennywise clown from It and I am going to be the little brother in the yellow rain coat who gets lost down the sewer… I think we are going to freak a lot of people out.

Today on the blog hop the lovely Dani Jace asks us:

Villains: Literary, TV/Movie or even real life – Who do you love as a villain and why. Who do you despise and why.

Oohhhh this is a good one! There are so many good villains out there. I love all the fairy tale villains and I recently read a book called Heartless by Marissa Meyer. It’s all about how the Red Queen became the Red Queen and it was amazing! The author does a great job writing the story and showing us each little thing that turned her evil.

When Once Upon A Time was on they had a lot of your typical villains, but they also had ones you didn’t expect. The wicked queen was wicked, but she had a soft side. I loved Regina as the wicked queen, she did such an amazing job acting out her evil roles. Peter Pan was actually a villain in the series. It was quite interesting how they wove all the characters together and kept the same fairy tales but changed certain things. I really love that show.

In movies right now, Superhero movies to be exact, Thanos is a very bad guy. In fact, in the last Avengers movie he made half the world disappear and now we are waiting until the next set of movies to see how they are going to come back and defeat him. I really don’t like him. He thinks the world will be a better place with less people in it.

Another great villain is Voldemort from Harry Potter. His character used many different types of dark magic to get what he wanted, immortality. In the end it destroyed him, but he was still a great villain. Or you go with the more complex villains like Snape or Gollum. Both were evil and good at the same time, which only added to levels to their characters.

One person I love as a villain is Loki God of Mischief! He’s just the best. I love all the complexity that Tom Hiddleston put into the character. He just does the most amazing job.

A villain I really can’t stand is Cersei Lannister! Oh boy do I dislike her. She really manipulates everyone in her path and does everything for evil or her own plots. She has her hand in everything. I can’t wait to watch the last season of Game of Thrones to see what happens.

Well enough of evil bad guys from me. Now it’s time to continue on the hop to see what the wonderful A.S. Fenichel has to say or click back to see what the talented Brenda Margriet had to say. Until next time!
