Black Panther is a great film'. It has the most compelling villain of any Marvel movie, and it deals admirably with the issue of diminishing jeopardy in a million superhero films where the world is going to end.

Romesh Ranganathan

It's a lot harder to write a story that's compelling about identity and sense of self without some villain in the room.

Peter Paige

The most propagandistic element of 'Frozen' was the transformation of the prince at the beginning of the story, who was a perfectly good guy, into a villain with no character development whatsoever about three-quarters of the way to the ending.

Jordan Peterson

In any story, the villain is the catalyst. The hero's not a person who will bend the rules or show the cracks in his armor. He's one-dimensional intentionally, but the villain is the person who owns up to what he is and stands by it.

Marilyn Manson

The story drove the book. That had a very seminal effect on the way I saw writing and storytelling. If you can set a character in a story that is compelling and has a backbone, you draw people in.

Dick Wolf

America has this fascination with glorifying the villain and not talking about the trials and tribulations. We tell the story of the successful villain a lot of times, but we don't tell the story of the people who don't come out so successful, and we don't tell the story of all the bystanders of that choice.

Lecrae

Villains often more the story along while the heros react to the villains, so the villain becomes the engine of the story.

Michael Scott

I love a big, character-rich story with a dark heart, with a compelling mystery or some kind of ticking clock at its center. I want to be lured in by prose, captured by character, and bound by stellar plotting to keep turning the pages.

Lisa Unger

Once you watch any character for nine-and-half hours, be it good, bad or grey, you tend to attach yourself with it. You always feel for the character, even if he is a villain.

Pratik Gandhi

I think the tricky balance, the most important thing more than the horror is to have a compelling story, compelling drama, a show about great characters that you care about and you want to come back every week to see what they're up to.

Oren Peli

The Villain wasn't necessarily something I sat down and thought, 'Oh this is going to be my character.' It's most like other great wrestling characters, where it's more of a reflection of my actual character.

Marty Scurll

There's just no more compelling a story, no more compelling an issue, no more compelling a locus of human suffering than Sudan.

Eric Reeves

I was fascinated by a compelling character embroiled in a controversial topic that told the story from a different point of view.

Bjorn Borg

Just as Yama is a villain for evil forces, my character in 'Yaman' is also a villain against those who don't follow dharma.

Vijay Antony

Technology isn't the villain and the people aren't often really the villain so much as they're weak.

Charlie Brooker

I recurred on Grey’s Anatomy for three years, and at the same time, I recurred for eight episodes on Rescue Me. And I’d recurred for nine episodes on The Practice. Frankly, the guest star is often the most compelling character.
