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."

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here.
