#misunderstoodvillains

After binge-watching a ton of old DC shows a while back, I couldn’t help but notice the similarities in story and character between these two, so I give you Heart-filled Fakers!

Been having a blast re-watching #batmantheanimatedseries. #Clayface is one of my favorite #characters in the whole series. Had to draw my own version of him quick. #sketch #doodle #misunderstoodvillains #matthewhagen #batman #clay #slimy #timelapse #sketching #vinyltoydesign #workinprogress (at Burbank, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq6aisbBfeC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rzgo94t3blgy

the misunderstood villain paradox

so like why do we always assume sci-fi villains are just evil for the sake of it like have we not watched enough sci-fi to realize most of them have tragic backstories or are just misunderstood like take darth vader dude was just a kid who wanted to save his family then got all twisted up in power and fear and don’t even get me started on loki like he’s not even really a villain just a little bro who feels left out and misunderstood i mean who wouldn’t go rogue if you grew up feeling like the underdog in a god family right plus it’s kind of wild how some of these villains are just products of their environment shaped by societies that failed them and sometimes the line between hero and villain blurs so much that it’s basically a mushy gray area and we need to stop casting them as one-dimensional monsters like they have layers and depth too right
