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

Kinda like It’s Always Sunny, but better
Heros: “We did it, we finally killed the evil bad guy”
The evil bad guy’s 12 best friends:
kinda reminds me of iosip
Basically the Harley Quinn show.
Woof, woof!
Harley being Batman’s therapist and keeping his identity secret (“Doctor-patient confidentiality”) was one of the most wholesome things ever.
Was gonna say
the episodes of the venture bros where the monarch is forced to interact with other villains are the best.
I like how they threw “sexy” in there.
Makes me think they’re talking about Always Sunny
I’m currently reading a series called Everybody Loves Large Chests. The protagonist is a dungeon mimic who gains sentience and levels up. It collects a bunch of sexy villain characters along the way. Surprisingly compelling.
It’s weeb degeneracy with rape, fantasy Nazis, and a loli that shouts Ora Ora as she punches because the author took a fantastic premise and smeared shit all over it.
It got recommended to me by a Redditor.
I do not forgive their sins, or yours for spreading it.
Seinfeld.
You’re describing Seinfeld.
Stupid, sexy Jerry.
Villains or antiheroes? Because this sounds like anti-heroes but villains are rather the people letting starving people die for profits.
I feel like the animated movie ‘Bad Guys’ kind of encomappses this. They’re a ‘ride or die’ crew that is bad, at least at the beginning. It’s a good movie I recommend a watch.
Jessie and James and Meowth
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?”
Dimension 20 basically did this with Escape From the Bloodkeep and it was, as usual, fantastic.
Hazbin Hotel kinda?
