Or or hear me out:When they let the intern disguise as the hero so the villain is confused on how he became the hero

But if you think about it, letting someone that dense go is worse, since then you're making the rest of the world keep dealing with them.

You have successfully confused me

@@Malkontent1003 yeah but atleast you wouldnt have to deal with them

And that is exactly why he is a villian. He is eeevvvviiiiiilllll~

That's when you know he just wasn't even in his league

Wait is that a HISHE reference?

@@VoidKing666 I wasn't thinking about HISHE, but they might refer to similar, I think they have a few times. More like both me and HISHE thinking the same thing, not me directly referencing them. What I'm thinking of is how in a lot of cases the villain actually has some really valid points, and in many cases their cause actually feels more justified than the hero's. In many cases the villain is an activist of some sort, trying to right a wrong, to liberate an oppressed people, to tear down harmful institutions, and so on. The hero is trying to uphold the status quo, to keep everything the way it is - for better, or in some cases, for worse. Could argue the traditional heroes aren't so much "good" as "lawful." And especially in more recent times where people have realized that the status quo, institutions the heroes defend, and even laws are in some cases very unjust, the "villain's" motives actually feel more justified than the "hero's." So in many cases movies have to find ways of ensuring the villain stays the "bad guy" by having them use unacceptable means to attempt to achieve their sensible ends. This isn't true of all villains, others are just power-hungry maniacs or seeking revenge over something silly, but those aren't as compelling.

@@quillmaurer6563 Cool. Yeah I got your point, but I was just wondering about a double meanjng

That's just the plot of Infinity War and End Game lol

@@MsKJackson831 thanos plan didn’t make much sense. Especially since his whole plan was the furthest thing from sustainable. The Human race alone could easily repopulate back to previous numbers within a decade and it was incredibly easy for the Avengers to find him.

Yeah, title makes no sense. Maybe Zach was high when he titled this.

It's meant to poke fun of stupid movie conveniences that help the main characters progress, there was no way to be able to display this without the hero saying what would happen and what he'll do out loud

@@Klokinator no it does. the villain is usually an idiot who leaves the hero a way out for no reason

@@thatguy1806 I know lol just a joke. same way he exaggerated for the fun of it, I exaggerated a little for the comment

Excuse me, what is TSA?

?

Are there any movies where it's instead the hero that's some extreme visionary? Because honestly they usually are IRL. Martin Luther King, Jesus, Joan of Arc, etc. All considered visionaries at times.

@@japanpanda2179 Um, a lot. Any dystopian film, star wars original trilogy, any Robin Hood film, many mad max films, the matrix, you can even count the Christopher Nolan batman movies. The stories where the hero isn't the visionary is one's where they are fighting to preserve the world the way it is. The ones where heroes are visionaries are ones where the worldis harsher. Also visionaries can be evil. Mao Zedong, Genghis Khan, the Catholic Monarchs (Feedinand II and Isabella I), were all visionaries as well.

@@phabiorules I resent the assertion that King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella were evil. I know why you say that, but I disagree. I am not exactly unbiased as a Catholic myself of course but to put them on the level of Mao and Genghis Khan is preposterous. By the most conservative estimates 15,000,000 people starved over a four year period under Mao, and Genghis Khan is estimated to be responsible for 40,000,000 deaths and during his life raped so many women that today 1 out of 200 men are descended from him.

@@codieomeallain6635 that fun fact at the end was hilariously terrifying

@@yourmother595 Yup. And there is no way of knowing how many women are his descendants because the relation is tracked through the Y chromosome. Further fun fact, the most extreme estimates for how many starved to death under Mao are 55,000,000 in 2 years.

Why even capsure the hero, just kill him. The villiain to trigger happy about everything but when it goes with the hero they took their time

@@paradoxzee6834 immediately killing an enemy only serves as a merciful act of kindness actually, which any vengeful and purposeful typical villains will avoid. Thus the kidnapping, torturing, or hostage situation. It's just a psychological warfare to get the utmost wicked pleasure out of weakening the enemy mentally, before finally taking their life. And yeah that's why they prepared for a very long time just to get more time before the killing. I say, they're more meticulous and organised than the swashbuckling impulsive heroes who immediately smash and slash when it's time for action. But yeah it'll be uselessly stupid if after all that perfect plan is executed flawlessly, they'll even overshare it with the mortal enemy just because.

Faxs lmao 🤣

@@MollyHJohns it’s either this reason Or either the main character has plot armor

Or making a dialogue before killing their opponent even though that said opponent is already on their knees

@@stygianmoon1716 it’s usually some stupid thing the villain forgot or didn’t notice and then the main character escapes. This video hit the nail on the head

@@philmybutup4759 truee, but usually that's in Hollywood movies or smth. I've never read about a villain fOrgEtTiNg to tie the hero, like wtf, you had one job

That's the hallmark of bad writing. A good escape is a flaw in the other's thinking. That is something they don't understand associated with their personality or beliefs.

So Toktoker Gen Z vs Villian

Dont forget that basements are rarer in some places than others, so if you're lucky enough to be in one said place, you could also cross reference houses with basements and their owners

Uhhhhh... If this was Texas, Florida, California, or basically any state in the US or Canada, your entire plan fails

@@SkylineLofe Not really? Most people don't own F150's, and very few places actually have basements these days. Plus, he does know what the dude looks like. So uh... that makes it easier?

Don’t forget his kidnapper looks just like him.

@@nickcarroll8565 Everyone looks just like him...

Ik it makes it so much better

Sorta like thieram and jinx in arcane

You, since you think the villain doesn't know these things. They actually gave false information for every answer.

The guy in the chair is the idiot. He already knows who kidnapped him and why, and still wants to track his kidnapper down by a convoluted set of unrelated data.

​@@davidwuhrer6704 What if he has prosopagnosia

@@toolatetothestory Then he still knows his identity and the exact location of his secret lair.

Honestly, the trend of humanizing a villian is getting old. I get it, people were getting tired of generic villians and they wanted them to be sympathetic in order to paint a shade of gray instead of making it black and white. However, the purpose of a villian is to provide a sense of conflict for the hero. We know the hero is going to win, so why not make the villian an awful, intelligent, worthy foe that the audiences hates so much, they want see then lose.

I raise you - The Incredibles! Syndrome both has a sympathetic backstory, logical plans and consistent morals. Plus he's genuinely threatening, trying to kill a plane with kids on it? Syndrome is probably my favourite villain in any film NGL. Also, Megamind has a fantastic villain-antihero arc while keeping villains both threatening and understandable

"Too bad most movie makers are too lazy to work out a protagonist capable of handling such a thing". Because that thing is impossible to handle. If a villain is 100% competent, they're completely unbeatable.

@@phabiorules "So why not make the villain an awful, intelligent foe that the audiences hate so much, they want to see them lose". I think you meant to say "that the audiences absolutely love, and want to see them win". Everyone loves the villain. No one likes the heroes. Ever.

@@facundomontivero2299 I do like it when the villain wins sometimes, it just spices things up

Hi

Never expected to see you in a Zach Star comment section lmaoo

lol 3rdddd boissss

Hello coach

Yeah but what if the hero has trained FO DA STREETS??? How about that?

I mean, the bad guy hasn't killed the hero yet so we can only assume he sent him to therapy or a psych ward.

Of course he survived the explosion. The explosives were in a trash can!

@@timurtheterrible4062 not just trash can it was trash can of invincibility

This is the guy who was taking to him on the phone

My god I hope he turns this into long time series

Well he was right about the explosives, maybe he was right and underestimated about his escape

There is no moat. But there is an alligator.

part of the master plan

He is famous on his other channel where he does like math and stuff so ye

That's pretty much what the "villain" in Attack on Titan tried to do to solve the whole Titan problem. The sterelization plan is basically long-term genocide though, but the "villain's" brother wanted to solve things faster, so the whole plan went down the toilet.

@@japanpanda2179 So you're saying a group of elites and rich people making the common folk kill eachother is right?

@@japanpanda2179 Yeah, except in this scenario neither you or me would be part of that world because we would be among the mobs of people gutting eachother in the streets.

@@notthebees4961 I know but his videos are always funny

Same

Sometimes I do the same, especially for newer movies. Ever seen Kingsman: the Secret Service? That's one movie where the villain was definitely right.

And they usually have very good reason to be who they are, and do what they do. That's more morally compelling and attractive than the perfectly vanilla good guys.

@@japanpanda2179 don't think I seen that one, I don't really watch Hollywood movies anymore, atleast not modern ones because they are so stupid or boring

@@japanpanda2179 Wasn't the villain's plan in that movie to get a bunch of elites and rich people to a bunker and make the common folk brutally kill eachother with some fucked up serum?

Sometimes people misspell "heroes".
