Artemis Fowl (Book 1) (he’s the good guy in the following books)
And the first was by far the best
Interview With the Vampire’s Lestat was a bloodthirsty murderer. The Vampire Lestat’s Lestat was a bloodthirsty murderer … with a conscience.
In Tale of the Body Thief, he drinks orange juice and it makes him think of drinking sunshine.
I loved the Vampire Lestat.
The golden hour.
deleted by creator
well he didn’t “tuned out to be the good guy”. He was a bad guy and later became good because of the girl.
I think the message of the film was more that he was always good (to some extent) and that his earlier actions were influenced by his upbringing (in contrast to Metro Man’s)
He simply grew up into the role of the villain. And then he played that role.
“Presentation” gives me goosebumps every time. Such a great scene
Unfortunately the sequel absolutely lacks presentation. Its like they completely forgot what made the first movie good.
There’s a sequel? 😬
Sadly yes.
Just looked it up. None of the original VA cast (all recast). 2.1 stars on IMDB. That’s the lowest I’ve ever seen.
“Presentation!” is a regular reference in our lives.
Gru in Despicable Me.
Zangief in Wreck-it Ralph: “You are bad guy but this does not mean you are bad guy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯”
Every story of Tom and Jerry.
How was Jerry evil? Mice gotta skim
Jerry antagonized Tom into attacking him more often than not. He viewed it as a game rather than a life or death struggle. Tom OTOH would be kicked out on the street if he didn’t try to keep Jerry under control.
I bet its that Jerry has that toxoplasmosis making him unafraid of cats
Some Guinness was spilt on the barroom floor, when the pub was shut for the night. Out of his hole crept a wee brown mouse & stood in the pale moon light. He lapped up the frothy brew from the floor, then back on haunches he sat. And all night long you could hear him roar, "Bring on the goddamn cat!
- Irish poem
I feel like nobody uses the word haunches enough/anymore. Such an amusing euphemism for dat ass
Hella haunches
Haunches like conches
The Rock, starring Sean Connery and Nicholas Cage
Satan of the Bible, similar character to Prometheus https://www.enotes.com/topics/paradise-lost/questions/why-satan-considered-hero-paradise-lost-419454
Proponent of knowledge and education. Isn’t big on forced worship. Doesn’t murder you for not paying enough attention. Guess it’s all just a trick to capture your eternal soul.
The French version of La Femme Nikita, although it’s more of a redemption arc than “villain turning out to be a good guy.” She starts out as a junkie petty crook who murders a cop in cold blood, spends most of the film assassinating people for the government, and in the end seems to have gotten her life together.
But she starts out as a very not-nice person.
Does Dr Doom count for this? He believes he’s seen humanity perish in every reality except the one where he becomes the absolute ruler.
Yeah and he gets unlimited power from the sabertooth looking god or whatever.
Falling Down. Prendergrass is the good guy.
Osama bin Laden
Why the fuck did this make me laugh…now I need to downvote myself
Reviewing his career and accomplishments - the guy was a real life Michael Douglas in Falling Down… but followed through on a larger scale. And deaths, a whole lot more deaths.
Saw X
I’d say that’s an “everyone sucks here” type of story.
The bible
Who’s the ‘main villain’ in the Bible?
Humanity.
If you were asked that on family fued, the top answer would be satan for sure. Though I like the other persons answer of humanity too.

Uhh…Satan?
Damn… I thought I had a unique thought
Magneto in the 90s. He even built an asteroid as a refuge for any mutant.
The older I get, more I agree with Magneto.
More like, the older the character gets, the more they update his backstory to be something the audience can sympathize with. Because a villain for villain’s sake gets old fast.
Magneto ftw. Xavier is a naive little bitch.
“You’re always sorry, Charles …and there’s always a speech!..but nobody cares.”
When the Sentinels start rounding up mutants, it is the biggest “I told you so” to Charles.
A Bioshock-like game set on Asteroid M would be, if you will excuse the parlance, baller.
You could say it would be out of this world.
Kill la Kill, at least with the primary antagonist as the main villain isn’t really introduced until pretty late in the story.
