Name a movie where the bad guy is better than the good guy… 💭

  3. Captain James Hook is a former Lost Boy and the hero of the Peter Pan story. All of Hook’s pirates are former Lost Boys that either escaped the tyranny of The Pan or were rescued by Hook. Note that Hook’s pirates never kill the Lost Boys but rather capture them.

    Pan is the only one cursed with immortality and eternal youth. All the Lost Boys eventually become *grown ups*. And of course …

    “All Grown-Ups are Pirates” and…

    Peter Pan “kills Pirates.”

  4. Many Batman movies. Wayne could take his riches and invest in Gotham social services. Basically all the super villains have a history of trauma that led them there and he should well understand that but instead he spends the a good deal of time beating up petty criminals who probably dont have health insurance, leading them to need to try bigger scores.

  5. The Karate Kid. All Johnny Lawrence wanted to do was make out with his girl, ride dirt bikes, and do awesome karate moves. Then comes along Daniel who just screws it all up by acting like a total jerk!

  6. Star Wars, Avengers Infinity War and Endgame, all SAW movies, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

  8. Law Abiding Citizen

    Was rooting for Gerald Butler character the whole time.

  10. Batman & Robin, Mr Freeze is the most quotable character in the movie. Bat man just didn’t have it.

  15. Almost all of them. I can relate to most villains but sometimes the heroes make me go “wtf is this guy on about?”

  21. Not a movie but James McGill from BCS.

    I mean I know he swapped those numbers. I knew it was 1216. One after Magna Carta. As if I could *ever* make such a mistake! Never. Never! I just – I just couldn’t prove it. He covered his tracks, he got that idiot at the copy shop to lie for him. But you think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He’s done worse. That billboard! Are you telling me that a man just happens to fall like that? No! He orchestrated it! Jimmy! He *defecated* through a sunroof! And I saved him! And I shouldn’t have. I took him into my own firm! What was I *thinking?* He’ll never change. He’ll *never* change! Ever since he was 9, *always* the same! Couldn’t keep his hands out of the cash drawer! But not our Jimmy! Couldn’t be precious Jimmy! Stealing them blind! And *HE* gets to be a lawyer? What a sick joke! I should’ve stopped him when I had the chance!

  23. I probably sound like a complete psychopath for thinking this, but Jigsaw in the Saw horror movies. Of you really think about it, he never really killed them he technically just set his victims up in a way where they would kill themselves (meaning that some of the victims to the Saw “challenges” had killed more people than Jigsaw. The antagonist in the movie is also just a physical representation of karma by punishing the people for their crimes/bad behavior.

  27. Friday the 13th series. Just trying to prevent kids from making bad decisions.

  28. Death Wish….

    Paul Kersey was doing more to stop crime in the city that Vincent Guardina’s character was…

  31. Split / Glass. From the unbreakable series. The villains are the movie in the second 2 films of the series.

  34. The Cabin In The Woods if we’re counting the government as the bad guy. They were literally trying to stop the apocalypse (even if they were having fun and gambling the whole time)

  35. Well apparently Wanda is better than Dr. Strange, Thanos, the entirety of the avengers, and space and time itself so…….yeah

  36. Clarification requested:

    Better as in ‘a superior heroic character who was actually in the right while the protagonist was wrong’?

    Maybe Hummel in ‘The Rock’. Hummel wanted the government to compensate the families of his fallen soldiers.

    Better as in ‘the villian is way more capable at doing awesome stuff than the hero’?

    I think Hela in Thor Ragnarok qualifies.

    END COMMUNICATION

  37. Surfs Up

    Tank is a teenager who is dedicated to his craft. He wants to win and tries hard. What parent wouldn’t want that?

  39. Heat? DeNiro’s character was kinda as good as Pacino’s? Maybe not given the collateral damage his crew inflicted.

  40. Home Alone. That kid was toying with them, almost torturing them if you will.

  42. The incredibles

    Syndrome had a point about giving out super weapons so that everyone is super. He’s basically speeding up evolution as the strongest will survive only. Also when he was a kid he was more of a genuine hero than Mr.incredible because Mr.incredible did it for his own ego.
