Now I have gotten some bad press in my life.
But I just had to laugh at this:
"Which "Lovable" Villain Is Actually Terrifying When You Think About It?"
Click on the above to follow the line to the article.
And I quote: "Q from Star Trek: The Next Generation. He's a genocidal maniac who has wiped out entire planets. And all of the deaths that the Federation suffers due to Borg attacks can be blamed largely on him, since he forced our encounter with the Borg before we were ready. He's one of the worst mass murderers in history — but he's so funny and cute, we don't even care."
Moi genocidal? It's always possible anything could be perceived as such through the wrong lens.
But thats like an ant getting angry with you for accidentally urinating on it's newly constructed hill.
In any case.
Let me spin this around for our "Science Fiction" thread.
Which PROTAGONIST(s) are really the villains in disguise?
For instance, "The Federation" from the (air quote) fictional (end air quote) documentary err television show named Star Trek - they go in guns armed in every situation, even first contact situations - and don't ever seem to ask the simple and obvious questions such as 'what started the borg' - preferring a firefight over a discussion or good game.
Thoughts? Ideas on villains who had great marketing painting them as the protagonists?
Do tell.
