@JustinMasterMine That would be similar to how Red's first pig is a villain whereas the witch was defeated by a different, heroic pig who looked the same.
Voldemort hid on the back of Professor Quirrell's head for a year, who was Harry's defense against the dark arts instructor, and Barty Crouch Jr. masqueraded as Mad-Eye Moody during the latter's tenure as the same position. Two pure evils - who were both hidden in plain sight - teaching the heroes. I can actually name a possible instance where the latter case actually helped Harry, as Barty explaining the unforgivable curses to Harry's class could have been what saved Harry from Voldemort attempting to use the killing curse on him at the end of the book.
This is even less likely now, as "Western Energy" implies a tragic background for his character.
Maybe he didn't want to alert anyone before the shooting started; if someone heard him fire or found the body, the whole plan would have been ruined. And if John heard the shooting, he could have run off and alerted the authorities.
@The Evilness890 Still, thrill-seeking and hedonism overlap well enough.
@Caesar0728 A couple days ago.
@Ditb01 It's not mitigating unless it's treated with sympathy in the present.
Luke Lerner briefly felt remorse for killing his best friend Garrett, but quickly brushes it off.
In No Way Home, Spider-Man not only kills Green Goblin for everything he did to him, but is driven mad by the fact that he's lost everything, and deliberately causes multiversal damage to the point that Kang the Conqueror and Dormammu redeem themselves, both becoming Pure Good in the process, and join the Avengers to stop Spider-Man. By the end of his arc, Peter will have completely subverted his tragedy, as well as any good qualities he had and stop caring about his loved ones, as he won't soften up when his Aunt May or MJ are brought up by the heroes. He will be remembered as the most evil and hated character in the MCU, and one of the greatest villains in cinematic history.
This is just a joke, please don't take it seriously
Keep. Whoever wrote this is clearly a fanatic who worships the guy. Light is not a hero. He is a self-righteous god wannabe who kills anyone he deems unworthy, and uses the fact that he has the power to kill to begin with to justify it. Anyone who says that opposing them makes you pure evil is spreading propaganda and/or has a god complex. You know, people like Hitler and Stalin, whom have been considered two of the most evil people in history. In their eyes, justice and order involved killing off anyone who was different, punishing anyone who talked smack about them, and encouraging people to default to what they said instead of thinking for themselves. Sound familiar?
Koba and Caesar
Koba
Had he stayed true to what Caesar believed in rather than letting anger consume him and trying to get revenge on humanity, the conflict of the other two movies probably wouldn't have been nearly as bad, and the third one wouldn't have even happened. In this timeline, the apes are on the run from humans trying to detain the apes, thinking they are to blame for the virus and that their DNA hosts the cure because that's just how humans seem to behave during pandemics. During a shootout, Koba takes a barrage of gunfire to save Caesar.
How'd I do? This version retained his redeeming qualities, did not give in to anger and provoke humanity into going to war against the apes, and sacrifices himself to save Caesar's life. I think that's enough for pure good.
@Ditb01 I feel like what you're saying should relate to villains whose tragedy motivated or even excused their villainy at one point but are far beyond what sympathy or justification it could have given them, such as Drago Bludvist. I'm pretty sure that Voldemort has been driven by spite and sadism from the very start, as beyond the family that abandoned him, Voldemort's actions have only affected people who have no connection to his tragedy. For crying out loud, he tortures other orphans whom he could have befriended to compensate for his loneliness.
Your arguments makes them sound more like fake tragic than anything else. Wholly debased is for villains who lose all their redeeming qualities over the course of the story. Did these guys have any to begin with?
I occasionally struggled getting Mono to escape the Hunter's extremely quick and precise gunshots, especially with the angle the game is played at. Six's final fight with the Lady isn't too hard once you know her patterns, and the Runaway Kid just has to run from her until he gets caught. For me, the hard parts were Six having to run all the way up the stairs, and then having to slowly sneak past the Lady, and as the Runaway Kid, the hard part of the Lady's level was the shadow kids, because they move so fast, and you can only kill them with a flashlight that you have to aim properly, not to mention the unnerving environment and music of both levels keeping you on edge the whole time.
The Lord Commander from Final Space was imprisoned in a small cube by Invictus to rot away forever.
There's actually a Pure Good and Pure Evil version of SpongeBob SquarePants, though they're both from fanfiction.
There are also several versions of Lex Luthor that are Pure Evil, but also two versions that are Pure Good.
Even more ironic than SpongeBob, there is actually a version of the Joker that's actually Pure Good. What makes it really head-turning is that while the PE SpongeBob was a fanfiction incarnation, the PG Joker is from an official DC film.
Sauron had the entire race of orcs, as well as several other beasts serving him.
Let's see.
Joffrey was a young king who had the wealthiest noble house with some of the most cunning and intelligent players in the game of thrones as his allies, and yet made far too many enemies for himself as a vicious idiot king. He was only able to kill Ned Stark was because Stark had surrendered and admitted to a false confession. And we all know the sole reason he was able to do so much evil was because he was king. If he didn't have the authority, he probably would've been dead before day one.
Rip was a con-artist who couldn't bother to even feign love to his family unless it was for his own convenience, lost all of his father-in-law's money and had to sell out his wife and neighbors to get the Nazis to reward him and become the financial success he never could have been otherwise.
Both pretty pathetic, but Joffrey's prince charming act in earlier installments with Sansa whereas Rip is just an abusive waste of a husband and father from start to finish makes Rip a bit worse. I mean, Joffrey was a product of incest which probably contributed to his irritability and impulsiveness that made him less competent, whereas Rip has no such excuse that we know of.
