Villains We Can't Help But Love

Everybody's got a dark side.

Villains We Can't Help But Love

Oh what a time to be a nerd! Comic book adaptations are all the rage right now. People are beginning to realize why we sympathize with some of the so called terrible people that we do. Loki explains our feelings precisely, "Every villain is a hero in his own mind."

Loki

"I never wanted the throne, I only ever wanted to be your equal." Loki is just a misunderstood boy with daddy issues. Who wouldn't be upset if they were the odd demigod out. What's so great about Thor? Hm? Loki is just as cute as Thor! Loki is just as smart as Thor(Gretchen Weiner voice implied). How can you blame him for fighting for the attention he deserves.

Two Face

"Justice has two sides like this coin." Harvey Dent was a wronged man who was all about justice before tragedy struck. How could you not want justice when a mob boss ruins your handsome face forever. He overcame an abusive father and horrible childhood to become DA of Gotham. The man deserved happiness.

Wilson Fisk

"I would do anything to make it a better place." Kingpin just wants to make Hell's Kitchen into an empire. He was taught at a young age that the most important thing is to become successful. He raised himself up from a father murdering child into a crime overload that looks over Hell's Kitchen in his own way.

Mr. Freeze

"Have you ever seen a flower die?" This man lost the life he had trying to save the one thing he loved most in life, his dying wife. The weapon he uses was actually meant to put Nora into a cryogenic state but after being tampered with by Freeze's boss, it explodes and kills Nora while putting Freeze in the suit for life. He vows to exact revenge on those responsible for ruining his life's work.

Ozymandias

"It doesn't take a genius to see that the world has problems." Ozymandias started out his life as a rich child and when his parents died, he put all of his money into charity and started from scratch. He became a genius crime fighter but gave it up for business. He then decided he himself could bring the world back together with a fake alien attack that would kill millions and lead countries to believe they must stick together. The man had a great reason for his actions but delivered them poorly.

We can all admit that we want to see some villain win at least one time and why not one of these guys? Heroes and anti-heroes get their ways all the time. Its Evil's turn for the winning spotlight. I would love to clap at the end of a movie because a deserving villain got his justice. "Why should I apologize for the monster I've become? No one ever apologized for making me this way."

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
