When you hear words like "cruel," "chaotic," "evil," and "destruction," what comes to mind? Yes, "villain". We usually think of a villain. A villain is someone really bad in stories who does mean things and causes a lot of trouble. Then there is the hero, who is the opposite of the villain. They are usually strong, fast, and smart, and they are usually the main characters. In movies or shows, we often see the hero fighting the villain, and usually, the hero wins, and everyone is happy.
But have you ever thought about what happens after the big fight? Often, there is a lot of damage. Buildings are destroyed, and people's lives are messed up. But we do not really focus on that. We are just happy the hero won.
Some people might say that heroes are more real because they hide their problems, unlike villains. But the truth is, heroes also hide their struggles. They act strong even when they're hurting inside. And when they finally break down, people rush to help them, not realizing how much they are hiding.
At least villains are honest about who they are. They do not pretend to be good when they are not. Maybe there is something good about that in a world where so many heroes seem fake.
