Linetrap is epic.
That's still reality. ^_^ And they're easy to hate, simply because they're real. I guess the trouble with fictional villains for me is that they either end up just completely monstrous, to the point where they feel like cardboard cutouts, or they end up having such compelling reasons for their actions and personalities that they cease to be villains in my eyes. ^_^ I find myself sympathising with, if not entirely condoning their causes.
I suppose the best sorts of villains for me are those who are absolutely vile, but where the path toward that vileness is clearly visible. Sort of halfway between. The character development prevents them from descending into stereotype, and their motives are still contemptible enough for them to remain villainous. ^_^
I guess the cardboard cutout sort of villain is really okay in fiction. I mean...there have been people like that in reality. People that are just rotten to their cores. But everytime I hear about someone like that, I'm shocked. And when I read about it in fiction, I generally just laugh it off. ^_^
