Yes, I know his name is Michael B. Jordan. That's what was in my script, but my mouth said Jordan B. White. Oh well... Y'all knew what I meant.
When I can do it without swearing every other word, yes.
@@JustSomeGuy awesome, can't wait.
Nah Bruh. I knew Killmonger was the villain. I empathise with him to an extent, but yea that Nigga was the villain. I sided with T'Challia.
@@Infamous1892 im curious hownhe thought his plan would work hydra back in ww2 got beat by one super soilder even with energy wepons and an organized army a doubt giving sonic guns to various gangs would create a force that could actually win a war with the rest of the world even if wakandas spys train them in there use the military tactics used by their army in the end of black panther and infinity war were awful and the most practical vibranium wepon we see isnt there stupid sonic death spears its the fake hand klaw cobbled up from mining equipment. Wakandas advance wepons remind me of the goluld wepons in star gate advance sure effective not in the slightest.

The term "reverse racism" in itself is an error. Racism is RACISM is racism.
'Reverse Racism' is racist in itself cause it's implying only white people can be racist.
"Reverse Racism" its Just Racism²
@@VideoGameMasters09 this, a million times over
I hate how these people cannot understand this simple fact.
MLK would be more than just disappointed
I used to be totally behind that statement because I have encountered many racist people from all backgrounds and sometimes been treated differently due to my skin color or racial origins. The forms of racism displayed were always tied to individual or community experiences. However, I have been thinking that notion of reverse racism can seen when the racist behavior is being used as a political tool and takes the form of mirroring (e.g. we have been excluded from power so we are now going to exclude you from power). I dunno, though.
Where are the diverse villains? They're calling themselves heroes now.
I think he meant the comic characters. Not the writers behind the characters. *rim shot*
Delayed reply, but... that's got undeniable sting, oof.
I completely agree but I just want to mention that most people are heroes of their own stories. This simple fact can help create good villains AND heroes.
Ge____ Fl###.
The diverse villains are the SJW "heroes" that are replacing the original heroes.
they are such villains in public's eyes even villain fans hate them
Imagine Black Lex Luther. Superman goes to jail for hate crime, nuff said.
there is a black superman, why not a black luthor
@@ALDAL wasnt animated series luthor kind of black or was he just dark skinned.
@Isaiah Garraway - No, not black. That’s a common mistake. His design was apparently inspired by actor Telly Savalas and his features are meant to be suggestively Greek.
@@ALDAL because Donald Trump is President
@@ALDAL Nah! We have Hancock who is a black Superman.
I also think that they forget the phrases ”Absolute power corrupts absolutely”, or, ”It rains on the just, and the unjust alike”. There's no humanity behind the current crop of SJW Writers. Evil has no jurisdiction, creed, or race. To quote Literature Devil: "Make your characters dirty, make them harsh, make them say the wrong things, but, above all else, whatever you do, remember to make them... human.”
Like Copy X from Megaman Zero.
Barry Bend I think so. I haven't played the series in a while, but, good example. I would also use Cottonmouth from "Luke Cage", the Illusive Man, or... maybe even Saren Arterius from the "Mass Effect" franchise?
Best words to live by for creators that are into art and literature. Nice.
That's the problem: SJWs (especially the radical leftist ones) don't see straight white men as human
@@SkidMan_Jurej But neither SJWs are humans themselves. Of course, they are still human in the outside, but in the inside, they are brainwashed monsters who happened to be manipulated by an ideology. So the real villain is the ideology in society -- the philosophy that happened to be corrupted.
remember the cartoon static shock? they got it right - anyone could be a hero or a villain, and some didnt even need powers to do it
Static shock was the shit and yeah it had many diverse characters without it being used as a crutch and being natural.
Sig Urther: That cartoon actually tackled some real life problems like gun violence and such. Too bad much of the stuff these days needs to fill the woke quota.
@@xbigbooshx4643 Also, the "Sons Of The Fathers" focused more on racism where the protagonist's friend's father is having a problem with him because "there's one of them in my house". His best friend left him in anger for showing such a terrible nature until both of the fathers teamed up to face the villain. At the end, the father was no longer racist.
I never watched that episode nor grew up with the show, but still I understand it in one of Blameitonjorge videos.
Dwayne Mcduffie would cringe at the way his beloved industry has shit over all of his ideas and attempts at making true diversity in comics.
@@poweroffriendship2.0
Nowadays "redeeming" a racist is something that would be frown upon in 2020.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: These people are sociopaths. They require superficial similarity to identify with someone and are simultaneously incapable of separating the actions of a character from the superficial resemblance
That, and they are thrill seekers who will screw over anyone they don't like at the first opportunity if they get bored.
This is also why they are constantly searching for new things to be offended by, because they are addicted to the thrill of rage and the satisfaction of destroying the target.
It is a common trait among psychopaths and sociopaths, they can't empathize and are so empty on the inside that any emotion becomes preferable to no emotions at all.
These people sheesh, gross generalizations are exactly the problem, this is a population group with a diverse population that often lack experience and outside viewpoints. It's not all that different than Trumpism and hard republicanism it's a lot of indoctrinated thought with groupthink/ reinforcement. It's basic cultism.
@@Tengu125 does this include republicans and Trumpers who constantly yell fake news when met with honest questions, saying those people is the same thing a lot of woke types do. When you marginalized other people with terms like those people and they you are grouping them into a subhuman category and stating that you are separate. This type of dehumanization classically gas been used to separate people by fostering a cult of identity. Rich vs poor, black vs Mexican vs white etc. Understanding how language affects you and how speech is used to subvert groups is an interesting topic and should be explored more. But to say they are all bad is rediculous. However copying victim good to creating empowerment is the new republican ideal. Honestly how much of a victim can you be when you have 3 networks to your dedicated to your perspective.
The problem with group mentality: hard to see a person as a individual.
Very true.
yep.
👏 Magneto has the best backstory in all of comics 👏
Dooooooom!
Magneto embodies his desire to commit acts for the sake of mutantkind.
Doctor Doom believes it's his right to rule the world in order to save mankind from itself.
These two are downright the most compelling villains in all of comic books. They are evil but for their own cause!~
Naah screw that! Apocalypse! En Sabah Nur! He is the rocks of the eternal shore! (Apocalypse isn’t used nearly enough. Goddamn we need an X-men Evolution style Apocalypse)
Your not wrong, but every Batman villian is a close second
😍
To quote a female serial killer: “my goal was to kill more people - helpless (or innocent, depending on who’s quoting) people - than any man or woman in history.”
Evil comes in all shapes and sizes. This woman found something she was good at and enjoyed. Decided to be the best ever.
Surely that’s more interesting than the umpteenth “I was forced to do wrong by men looking down on me.”
BlueKatana 47
Jane Toppan - an angel of death/mercy style killer who would reportedly try to see into a victim’s mind as they died. Confessed to 31 kills she could prove.
Mulletmanalive and was then let off the hook for insanity.
Seriously, fuck the law.
It’s like an I am woman hear me roar but she’s a shrieker enemy from a horror game
That number is so incredibly high I mean way to shoot for the moon
@@benh6452 she was on that sigma grindset
If there was a dystopian TV show where a feminist is a villain who takes over the "progressive" society and a group of heroes who are normal minorities (especially the white man who is the leader), then it could be interesting to pitch it.
@@dboot8886 Is... Is this satire? Because you took the most ridiculously easy bait meant to het a reaction out of jackasses who flipout if they hear the words "white" and "man" used together. >_>
@@MrSuperbeast92 it's satire
I_Am_Dragoon lol I really wanted to keep it going just then but naw, I was just taking the piss. Sad thing is, times being what they are you can't be sure of that. Guh... just realized, I "we live in a society"ed.
@@dboot8886 Nah! Of course, life is like a comic strip on a newspaper.
@@MrSuperbeast92 Of course, he's born as a white who never cared about his skin color but he still had enough with the propaganda he was stuck on.
I hope in the series finale, he's going to slap Karl Marx in the face for writing an ideology that kills millions.
Yes, Killmonger's origin is sympathetic. But his actions are irredeemable. When Ross refers to his service record as him "Racking up confirmed kills like it was a video game", we basically learn he kills without remorse or conscience, with those scars on his body being a badge of pride rather than a show of remorse. But the left can't see that, they see those scars as a solemn reminder of his purpose or something, but it's meant to be like he saw soldiers painting tally marks on their helmets or equipment to show confirmed kills and going "Hold my beer". He's _proud_ of all the lives he's taken, not remorseful.
I always hear people connect woke idiots with left politics and believe me, they have nothing to do with left politics, either right politics, they are fucking neo-fascists who use the left as a smoke screen but in reality they see everyone who doesn't fit into their mold as inferior beings that have to be exterminated and see free speech as a threat to their ideology while they are actively washing the younger generations brains with their propaganda to have more future followers, sounds familiar?
I still get a bad gut feeling whenever I see that scene. Anyone with a shred of critical thinking know that he’s bad news. Then again, people these days lack that capability.
It's sad because imagination is necessary for empathy.
I remember watching a video of J.K. Rowling giving a speech for a University years ago, she was talking how imagination is the power to put yourself in someone else's shoes. And that's what the far-left can't do. That's why you know it's all an act. And that's the kind of people who are hired to write our freaking comicbooks!
Straight up, as a gay man, I WANT to see a gay villain. Like you said, not a villain BECAUSE he's gay, but a villain AND he's gay. We're all human, we're all just struggling and tumbling through life, and we are the products of our environment. If that environment allows us to be benevolent and kind, we will be. But if it forces us to do horrible things to survive, most of us will. It's like Quark said in one of my favorite episodes of Star Trek: DS9, The Siege of AR-558: "Let me tell you something about Hew-mons, Nephew. They're a wonderful, friendly people, as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people... will become as nasty and as violent as the most bloodthirsty Klingon."
Pucci.
I've thought about that Quark quote a lot since the Corona virus and the resulting riots over toilet paper in some locations.
There's always Pegasus from Yu-Gi-Oh lol
give Empowered a read
one of the villains is a guy named Willy Pete (taken from a shorthand for white phosphorus) who does decidedly unpleasantly erotic things his enemies' skulls
@Pub Thumpin I completely forgot about him! And I loved that movie! Jeez, am I guilty of the same crime as these types of people, screaming for diversity while ignoring what already exists?! WHAT IS MY LIFE?! LOL
I've literally asked this same question to my peers and was shouted down because apparently "Black men have always been made to be villains". That's stupid as shit because a well written villain is nothing but the hero of his own story.
Barely any black superheroes equals barely any black supervillains
I literally can't think of one black villain other than Killmonger.
@@htownboss6422 Hundreds of Black heroes but because SJWs prefer race bending white heroes the Black ones are never given their just due.
@benjamin whitaker like I said on another post why would there be a bunch of diverse villains when they're Heroes barely can survive a few issues so it really doesn't make sense if they can't get their Heroes off the ground
@@keith1984rich and those characters can barely survive a few issues so there is no reason to make diverse villains my statement stands
Diverse villains would mean actual diversity, and what it seems like most of these people are actually aiming for is *Supremacy.* They have more in common with Magneto than they realize.
This was an excellent breakdown of one of the biggest holes in the way identity politicians think, great video as always.
The are diverse villains already. Just read the latest Marvel and DC releases. Villain protagonists seem to be in the vogue among SJW writers as of late.
eg Punchline (female) from dc
Wait. Does that mean I, as a gay guy. Can go out and violate the geneva convention. And ill be the hero in all of this
@Dog House you deserve more likes
You'd need paint yourself as a victim due to your sexuality. It's not hard, just say some faux-deep BS like, "I may take it in the ass, but at least I don't take it lying down!" and the average SJW will swoon for you. Also, please have your supervillain name be The Peen Gobblin'.
Does it matter that we get a black Joker...his face is BLEACHED WHITE!
WHITEFACE
Caesar Romeo was Latino, I’m pretty sure. So it wouldn’t really matter the race of the Joker. Just as long as that actor can play the Joker. That’s what I think at least
Ryan Satterfield that’s a good point.
@@Dadderfield His mother was Cuban and his father was Spanish, the dude was two kinds of Latino so yes, definitely correct.
Its not bleach. Its makeup
This makes me think of back when the movie Demolition Man came out. Some people were up in arms about Wesley Snipes playing the villain. Basically arguing that he was having to play the villain because he was black. In, I believe, an Entertainment Tonight interview, Snipes said (paraphrasing) that it was ridiculous to think that and that this time he was playing the villain but next time he would probably get to play the hero. Because that's the way acting works. Besides, it's much more fun to get to play the villain.
"Just Some Guy"..
..a hero among us..
They are now called the "heroes".
Rei and her hang were so evil, they killed the star wars franchise and they are quite diverse they even have their own token
I remember going to a talk in 1995 given by a black writer, Langston Hughes, who said that the way he knew prejudice was on the decline in the US was that we had a lot of black villains in movies and TV shows. People who were prejudiced against blacks would not find it credible that a black villain could go toe-to-toe with a white hero, and having a black hero could just be virtue-signaling. (He didn't use that exact term as it wasn't en vogue yet, but words to that effect) Whereas casting a black villain showed that you really didn't care what race the person was. Needless to say we've come a long way down since 1995.
That's fascinating. Btw, this wasn't THE Langston Hughes, right? As in the poet? Because that Langston Hughes died in 1967.
These "heroes" are sometimes just villain protagonists.
*A villain has to do something that is fundamentally wrong*
>Joker breaking Robin's legs with a crowbar
Yup that's pretty wrong.
>Captain Marvel literally threatens to rip a guy's arm off and steals all of his stuff
... hmmmm
not to mention, by legal definition, she assaults Stan Lee
Batman in Dark Knight: Doesn't just threat to break someone's limbs, but actually does so.
TheWolverine1987 yeah but Batman, is, well Batman. You expect him to rough em up a bit. But he at least has a code.
Droid Control Ship Deleted. Scene. Stop with this annoying bullshit already.
@@jeremiahvaleska8464 why
Quick response to the SJW's who have a problem about Joker: He is a product of Gotham.
There's no such thing as "reverse racism" Racism is racism
The diverse villains are the writers themselves.
So true... sadly.
I suspect it's not even a lack of imagination, though that may be part of it. These people may actually be incapable of differentiating fantasy and reality.
Good observation.
I feel like these people are frustrated, obsessive fanfic writers who somehow, finally got into the industry. As such, they're incapable of being objective about their own work.
Reality is subjective. Actuality is more complex.
This is my definition of a villain
A villain is a someone whose ideals, motives and or actions are viewed by society as wrong and or twisted.
When it comes to villains it doesn’t matter what their skin colour, sexual preference, etc. it’s what they think and do as an individual that makes them a villain in the eyes of the reader and the eyes of the character in the story
Its ironic because the "purely evil bad guy" is one of the most diverse roles in all of media i mean you got Frieza, Cell, Thanos, Dio, Sauron, Griffith, Void, Emperor Palps, General Grievous, Joker, DarkSide, Fire Lord Ozai, Scar, Grendel, Ursula, O-Ren Ishii, Catra(og), David Bowie(when hes wearing spandex), Satan, God(Spawn and others), Ryo, Psycho Jenny, Dr.Hell, the Crooked man(Fables...also read Fables/play a wolf among us) etc. heck them being diverse is what makes us love them....there all evil like pure un-redeemable evil....but there JUST SO COOL WHEN THEY DO IT!
and i think thats why all of these newer sjw villians are so pathetic. If not for the heavy handed political crap, in a years time....would you even remember them?
David Bowie? I agree, and he doesn't even have to be in spandex.
@@shoeflytoo He has the power of Voodoo
Great list but you forgot Black Manta. A black man who’s life’s goal is to make the very blond, and very white Aquaman’s life a living hell. Up to and including killing Aquaman’s first born child.
@@joshuabevel7570 Shoot the villian list is way to long to properly get everyone, Zarkon is another one. Dude was just a bastard.
SlumberTrap david bowie ? Don't you mean Oshikage Kira ?
It's funny cause one of my favorite villains of the past decade or so was Idris Elba's character from *"Hobbs and Shaw"*
I know the movie was a bit meh, but I remember thinking throughout the film how interesting and bad ass he was. And yet could've been even more so. (Idris Elba is just awesome, hope he gets well soon.)
I've always felt villains throughout varied and famed story arcs more interesting than the actual heroes themselves.
So as a latino, so called, "poc", I find it rather hypocritical of Hollywood excluding the very people they supposedly "champion" from more varied roles, specifically villains. It's almost as if these virtue signaling clowns are kind of...fake? Dont'ya think?
Wolvenstryfe Idris Elba had an awesome badass villainous presence! Agree on him throughout the movie. It’s a shame it couldn’t take itself seriously for a few more scenes and let him own them. He was the best and most interesting part. Agree on the villains too. And your point about virtue signaling. It’s hypocritical, and simply profit-driven for some in Hollywood right now. At best the aggressive “diversity” agenda preaches to the choir, at worst it alienates anyone who could actually benefit from a diverse perspective.
You mean black super man!
My biggest issue is that they never thought to give him a multiple attacker combat module
I still love the original Erik Kilmonger in Jungle Action. I would recommend reading it as his entire arc was in that multi-part series. It's a forgotten classic IMO. Up there with Magnum Opus from Shang Chi, Master of Kung fu.
I see Killmonger as a “Becoming the very thing you hate” type of villain, he could be more polished though.
Uh no, Killmonger wasnt seen as misunderstood at all, he was seen as an crazy murderer filled with hate tthat had to be stopped. Almost exact words from the movie. What made him a protagonist was what he was fighting for.
The diverse “heroes” are the real villains. Their actions speak for themselves.
Damn man. You don't just lay out points, you do it 100x more eloquently than I ever could and back it up with relevant context in depth. You're good at this, keep it up.
So I'm going to put up the Megaman Zero Copy X situation. Because that's how you make a cool villain in a video game( barring Weil but that's another story). But copy X is a reploid a humanoid android but he oppresses other reploids to serve humanity in an energy crisis. He destroys any reploids either a being a drain on energy or b have no use. Copy X is the villain with good intentions.
It's honestly sad. Their unwillingness to confront the fact that they or people like them could be evil basically guarantee's that they'll end up as bad as their oppressors. Many of them already have.
Megaman X4 : "Zero if I ever go maverick destroy me" X after the events of the repliforce a tragic turn of events.
I actually have a whole comicbook full of them
I have been asking myself the same question. And I so agree with what you point out in the video.
Most likely to have villains other than white men would admit culpability..... and who wants to be culpable.
Too true... nobody in our current culture wants to admit that villains come in all shapes and sizes.
Looking back, the last diverse villain that I think was actually treated like a villain was Dr. Facilier in Princess and the Frog. That was in 2009!!
Taking them to task one video at a time, thank you
Diversity is dumb, people need real opportunities
Uuhh, i'm Latina, and an artist, most of my villain characters are women 😂
Yes, you have the freedom of though that is inherent in an independent creator, and as such you don't have to abide by the Progressivist cult's dogmas.
Same, sorta. I’m brown and my villain-ish characters are brown and on is a woman 😆
I'm white and most of my characters are dark skinned and one is LGBTQ and honestly she is my favourite. Even tho she is the opposite of me.
@@TrueBagPipeRock yes they are...in hair pulling and screaming.
As true fighters? Heh. Like 100 pounds female could outfight 200 pounds male, like movies show nowadays. As long it is superpowered female like Wonder Women or She Hulk you can suspend disbelief, but as human females...just nope.
@@AKUJIVALDO my major problem is not that the "small" woman can fight the "big" man but the way she fights him: like she's a man of equal size. She should move a lot, use the envinronment, avoid being hit at all costs and attack swiftly when there is an opening, like a small man would fight a big man (the 1st problem is not the sex, but the size difference). She should look like an untouchable dancer and that would also result in a good choreografy for the fight. I can turn a blind eye on a 50 Kg woman hitting really hard but not on a 50 Kg woman getting hit in the face by a 90 Kg man and keep fighting like nothing happened. (superheroes are of course excluded from that reasoning: the moment wonder woman charges the tank in the 1st movie is one of my favorites)
Castlevania se3 shows diverse villains in the vampire sisters

I have experienced bigotry before. As a Russian bot, a Journo reported me just because I was just doing what I was programed for.😢
#Russianbotvillains
The answer to your question is a false statement: victims can't be villains.
Um... most comic book villains were victim of some lab accident or what-have-you that drove them mad and into villainy. Doc Ock's lab accident, Joker falling into the vat of acid, Two-Face having the acid spilled on his face, etc
This is a video I didn't know I needed, but holy shit this is such a good video. Keep up the great work, you just earned yourself a subscriber.
SO VERY WELL THOUGHT OUT! Fascinating, you said sometime I’ve been wondering for such a long time, thank you.
Another awesome vid by JSG
Another example that comes to mind is rise of the shield hero and all the drama surrounding the false rape claim by the princess against the main character
Always love these videos. Keep up the good work man.
Hey I love your videos! And you character looks amazing!
If we consider russians and chineses as diversity then in James Bonds' movies there are often villains part of the diversity.
Russians are stereotypically white, so we can't count them.
And asians excel while other "minorites" fail, so we can't count them either.
Only straight white males can ever be the villian.
So says the church of sarkesian.
In Europe, Slavs are historically peoples who have suffered the most of racism. That's why their name has the same etymology as slave. There is an expression that says "Slavs are the blacks of Europe". Slavic, Iberian, Celtic, Breton, Balkan, Scandinavian, etc are not at all the same "races" at all. Saying they are all "whites" sound very racist to me.
@@trorisk Only because you are probably from USA. Noone here in Europe is so obsessed with race. I don´t consider various European nations as non-whites.
@@Mysikrysa I'm european. You call it as you want race, phenotype or ethnicity. That doesn't change anything a Spanish doesn't look like an English, a German, a Polish or an Italian
@@trorisk OK, which European country became as race-obsessed as USA? I would like to know just to never travel there.
Because if anything is racist, it´s constant bulls*it talk about race and competing who is the biggest victim of all.

Youre awesome, bro.
A breath of fresh air.
This may be your best video. This was incredibly well reasoned.
Strangely enough, I've found more "diverse villains" in manga, visual novels and anime (unless animals count, I guess).
I think one of the reasons that diverse villains aren't allowed is because of media in the past with "problematic elements", despite some of those elements being quite present in real life and some people coincidentally falling in those stereotypes--as much as those who say that those "problematic elements" should never be in fiction because of the "harm" it does.
To a small extent, I can understand that. I must question, however, if they were instilled with a distinction of fiction being separate from reality. Those characters are imaginary objects and you shouldn't define your potential, therefore seeing a villain that may share your demographics shouldn't cause you to act in a censorious rage.
A villain that stands out to me right now is Mink from Dramatical Murder (the +18 version). I know I'm going to be murdered for saying that, so hear me out.
Mink and Magneto are very similar in terms of background, only Mink isn't the main villain. He's in your party. His actions are reprehensible and the story doesn't present his misdeeds in a good light. He's as much a victim of his circumstances as he is his own antagonist, and part of getting his good ending requires Protag to help him along with a number of different themes (self-acceptance, grief, dealing with the past, etc). His actions are his own, however.
At some point, Protag visits Mink in his home and it's heavily implied Mink is Navajo (or belonging to another Great Plains Tribe) with the things you see in his home. The game doesn't explicitly say which.
Most people who go through DMMD will tell you they _loathe_ Mink--and it's very easy to see why they don't. Mink doesn't even like himself, lol. There's things I've had to deal with personally that Mink does and I've had to go through teeth-pulling therapy for it.
But I have to wonder if part of that hatred is because he's a minority--doubly so in Japan--and they don't like the idea that someone like Mink can be so horrible of a (fictional) person...despite the fact that there are people in DMMD who are far, far worse and seem to be ignored or praised like Killmonger.
If people want to have a "true" sense of diversity, that also means they need to accept diversity they don't like (if that makes any sense).
Easiest way to spot the villian today, white man... Great video, evil is evil

@
Add "cis-gendered" to that and you have completed the -progressives'- regressives' checklist of traits for making a villain.
God I LOVE your videos!! You are ALWAYS on point!
Love your take, nicely put. You are precise in your use of language, i wish i had that skill. Hope you write a comic one day, you seem to know how to.
Do you remember when a villain added something in their character that made them a villain? Do you remember when villains had a reason to be evil? Do you remember when the villains were not just straight, white males? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Edited for spelling.
When I mentioned on YT how racist I felt Black Panther-the movie, not the the character- I was told I was wrong and a crybaby. I'm glad to find out I'm not a crybaby and not crazy.
Now THAT, was a thought provoking piece. Well done, and thank you.👏👍
How the hell did it take me so long to find a channel like you? This is AWESOME!
we already had a giant purple man. we met the quota.
Remember when DC used to have a Half Chinese Half African villain? Or The Brain and Monsieur Mala being technically gay in the comics? Pepperidge farm does.
Bro! I love all of your videos. It feels so refreshing to find someone who sees the same thing I do!
Very thoughtful, lots to mull over. Good job!
Dude, you can teach a class or do TedTalks on this stuff. Your content is AMAZING. I wish I was half as articulate as you were.
Two Ko-Fis for you, Guy!
And yes, this whole representation thing is nonsense.
It seems the SJWs cannot differentiate between race, sex or any other such feature and whether the person does something good or bad.
Somehow everything a black person does is good to them, as if they are unable to disconnect appearance and behavior.
This video was honestly brilliant. Kudos, young man.
you nailed it... great commentary
They are actually trying to change this nowadays. Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order and Mandalorian both have main antagonists that are diverse.
I am now writing a book and the character who looks more like me is the protagonist who becomes a villain in the end, even worse than the main villain
Is incomprehensible for me how people can’t make a character of their own gender and race a villain, you can’t seriously expect EVERYONE who shares these traits to act like you do
You did a great job!
Woah kudos to you for bringing this up 6:58
2:07 Is that radioactive Rainbow suppose to be a guy?
Speaking of guy's, hai Terror
Probably some alien from a non-sexually dimorphic species that reproduces asexually.
Or one that can change its biological sex at will.

That's the problem with ALL of 2020's "racism". It's all cherry-picked.
I watched the whole video and you guessed pretty accurately!
Outstanding commentary
*tips hat*
You are a good man I I like the work you do
If you want to see this done really well, I'd say check out One Piece, in particular the stories of the Arlong Pirates, New Fishman Pirates, and Fisher Tiger. The Fishmen and Mermaids of the One Piece world do not have the same status as humans under the eyes of the World Government, Because of this they are subject to bigotry, racism, and slavery, in particular by a group called the Celestial Dragons. In the case of Fisher Tiger, he was a former slave who was able to escape from the Celestial Dragons, but in spite of the fact that he hated humans, he also freed the non-fishman slaves that were owned by the Dragons. That being said, he never stopped hating humans, to the point that he refused to accept human blood even though it meant that he was about to die. In the case of the Arlong and New Fishman Pirates, they were fishmen who were either on Fisher Tiger's crew or grew up idolizing him, and in turn developed a hatred for humans for what they did to Tiger, in addition to the hatred and bigotry of humans against fishmen. Because of this hatred, they self justified doing the same things that humans did to them be it enslaving humans, or torture and subjugation. In all of these cases, it is clear why they got to this point and why they do what they do. However, it is still recognized that they are still evil and cruel people who need to be stopped
All I want is Captain Marvel to be acknowledged officially as a villain...is that so wrong?
Another great commentary
For what it’s worth; You got my “subscription”.🍻
Hey, y'all should check out the Master from Doctor Who. When he regenerated into a woman, she started just as evil as the rest of all her previous regenerations. Then she was redeemed. I really liked her redemption, but I thought it was curious they only redeemed her when she was a woman. Plus, the most wicked actions of the Master only happened when he was a white male. (The straight part is arguable)
I don’t know. I feel like villains are kinda lacking in interesting stories and their true meaning to the plot. Like Vader or that rabbit guy for Donnie Darko.
The Rabbit wasn't the villain in "Donnie Darko;" he was just a herald of the End of Days.
Genius, thank you for this.Could you say more on this? To me evil can be found in light and dark, in every culture and every shade or type of person but I think alot of this is lost on many nowadays.
900th like, but tbh..I really do love the work you do man
Where are the diverse villains? I said the same thing about video games enemies. Everybody is talking about strong female playable protagonists but only a few games have female enemies. That is why I'm excited for The last of us part 2, they actually have females to kill. True equally in my opinion.
Just some guy. I was wondering for some time to ask in hopes you'd see this, is Bleach your favorite anime like me? I know it's not the best but I love it regardless.
one thing i get annoyed with is you can have a villain who is actualy fighting an unjust system but take it too far or even possibly lose their mind in said fight against the system and start lashing out at people who are innocent or becoming totaly blind to the collateral damage they cause
That's so crazy! Like China not wanting the Mandarin to be portrayed as Chinese, despite him having genius intellect and great skills.
I, for one, love playing villains, and I think that (leaving out the evil part) they can have a lot of great qualities, like strength, intelligence, looks, etcetera.
And I do enjoy the complex, not-so-evil-after-all villains, but I also want to have some evil-just-because-they-like-it villains, too. Some people simply are evil, and they can be very interesting and fun to portray and watch.
