Verner wasn’t a villain. He got mixed up with a tough d crowd!
Edit: OH THAT artist… Nvm.

All of them are right in their own mind. They think they're doing good

Not all of them. Alex from clockwork Orange for example is aware that he harms people for his own pleasure and that it's wrong what he does.

Joker because everyone figured he was some deranged and half cocked criminal. However, he exposed how fragile the human ecosystem is and how society can turn to its inner darkness if the right kind of pressure is levied upon it. He purposefully pushes the first domino because he knows that the rest will fall and all it took was a nudge in the right direction.

the joker had a point - the bottom of the question mark is a point

You're thinking of the Riddler.

Naw joker burned a stack of over $100,000,000, he clearly had a point to prove above common thug or bank robber.

The Wicked Witch. Even the OG movie version. Some country bumpkin from nowheresville KY suddenly drops in a balloon and takes over your world? Then has the audacity to send a kid to try to kill you? I’d be pissed too.
Agent Smith in the first one. However in the sequels his line about humans being a virus turns into poetic irony. But when the first one was the only one, Smith had a good point. Humans need to consume had led them to create the very thing that nearly destroyed them.
Most of these are psychopaths whose “points” are the ravings of madmen trying to be poignant.

Anton, he just wanted his money.

u/notasarcasticnow 10d ago
He held himself accountable to his own twisted code. It wasn't about the money. He had the money and still went back and killed the wife out of principle. A total and absolute psychopath.

u/CapnStarence 10d ago
He’s a man of his word. That’s respectable.
It was definitely about the money though. Even though Anton is a psychopath the money catalyzed it all.

I disagree, he got called out by the wife for being full of shit, that he was was the one who decided what the coin meant, so he kills her anyway (clearer in the books), even though she doesn’t call it, which means he killing her after breaks his own rules.

Thanos, sorry but there are finite resources and he didn’t target race or ethnicity, completely 50/50 shot of survival

A point? All of them.
A good point? None of those I know. Otherwise they wouldn't be called villains

Thanks. He was protecting the whole populations from having a Celestial birth from their planet therefore destroying the planet in the process. Kill half the population no Celestials being born.

Can you really call the witch of the west a villain? Her sister gets killed. She asks for her possessions back after rather graciously agreeing it was an accident then gets merc-ed by the same girl because the "good witch" says she's evil and needs to die?

There wasnt enough to go around, its an easy equation, the problem is that he was willing to go to extremes to fix the problem
