People Are Sharing The Characters You Don't Realize Are The "Actual Villains" In TV Shows And Movies, And It's So True

"Pam is the worst for me. The more I rewatch the show, the more I resent her and believe that she holds Jim back. Yes, he also did bad things, like buy a house without checking with her first (although, they weren’t even married yet, and it was his money). They bonded over their mutual hatred for their jobs and the office, but then she held him from doing something he was finally passionate about. Only until everyone else moved on from the show/the office did she finally decide to let him fully embrace his new job.

And Angela — she's rude, demeaning, racist, homophobic, fatphobic, a cheater (multiple times), and denied Dwight the right to his son until he fell in love with her. Literally besides being a cat lover, I can't think of any redeeming qualities."

"Loki isn't the villain. Odin is. He treated Loki as second best to Thor, his biological son. Just because he isn't your biological son doesn't mean you should love any less. Like what the fuck, Odin?

"Susan was the worst. She caused problems for everyone around her. She was just generally pathetic, and it was totally her fault Mike died."

"People always say Barney from How I Met Your Mother is the villain — but I think Lily was the actual villain. (However, I still love them both.)”

"Sharpay was the villain. She told Gabby and Troy 'We will try to find small parts for you,' as if they didn’t have a chance. She tried to sabotage the callback. She tried to steal Troy away. So, yeah."

"People think the villain is Sue. The real villain is Mr. Schue. Like, seriously! I recently rewatched Glee as an adult, and I am shocked at the things he got away with."

"Regina and Janis were both 100% in the wrong. People need to understand that there’s not always a clean 'one side bad/one side good' aspect of conflict. Sometimes both are bad, and you have to recognize that you need to create your own side to right both of them."

"So, this one’s obvious, but in Voltron: LD, Zarkon is seen as the villain. Only when we get to see his backstory with Haggar do we see what happened to the both of them. The real villain is hubris and how it leads to the susceptibility to outside manipulation. We also see this with their son, Lotor."

"I think it’s pretty much accepted by now that Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory wants you to believe that Slugworth and the other kids and their parents are the villains, when we all know it’s Grandpa Joe."

"Tony Franzelli is the reason Nick got into the terrible situation she was in. There was no main antagonist, but if he hadn't borrowed money from the literal mafia and robbed a convenience store, none of the show's events would have happened."

"In Jennifer’s Body, the band are the villains. They chose to do what they did for fame. Even in the movie, as Needy is telling her classmates the band didn’t help in the fire, nobody listened to her. That was one of the benefits of the sacrifice they made — that the demon in Jennifer played on the insecurities in others, but also hers too. There’s a scene in the movie where she weaker from not eating and she’s looking at herself in the mirror, and she hates what she sees. She spreads makeup all over her face to cover what she doesn’t want to see. It’s one of the few times there’s a raw moment, where you see who she really is. It’s clear that everybody around her gave her what she wanted because she was pretty and popular, not because they cared. In the end, she was jealous of Needy because Needy at least had someone who actually cared about her."

"Lily was the villain! I mean, DUDE, what a self-centered, hypocritical piece of human garbage."
