18 TV And Movie Villains Who Actually Weren’t Evil And MAYBE Made Good Points When You Think About It

There’s no denying it, TV and movie villains have consistently delivered when it comes to enhancing a film’s plot.

But, how many times have TV and movie villains left us with some pretty good points?!

You’ll either leave the theater with the upmost hatred for a character and all of their villainous ways, or you’ll find yourself secretly rooting for them. Now, I’m about to serve up a list of villains who I think were not directly evil, and actually made some good points about their situation…the end result of this? You could agree and join me in my villain sympathy tour, or this could end up saying a lot about my character (just kidding, I hope!).

Careful: There are various film and TV spoilers ahead.

United Artists / Via youtube.com The horror in Carrie is seen when the young girl uses her telekinetic abilities to seal the exits of the school dance and set it on fire. She also controls a fire hose that injures several students, and causes Miss Collins to get crushed by a falling basketball backboard, whilst the principal is electrocuted.

Carrie also overturns Chris and Billy’s car, killing them, and she later crucifies her mother with a range of flying sharp objects. 

This is all definitely bad stuff. However, if you look at Carrie’s upbringing, she was bullied and humiliated by her school peers on a daily basis, and her mother’s extreme religious beliefs and unstable ways meant that she found no comfort in or out of the home. Instead of being a hardcore villain, it seemed she snapped under all of the pressure and pain she was put through.

What do you think? Are there any other movie or TV villains who made a pretty good point? Name drop in the comments!
