I'm an odd person. I can write vilains, but can't handle reading about ones written by another author or watching them in movies. I did like the evil dude in Skyfall, but then it was a Bond movie and I'm a Bond fanatic from the mid-sixties.

I've always heard that we should make our bad guys have one endearing characteristic -- maybe they love puppies or give part of their loot to an orphanage. It makes sense that a villain who has a reason for being evil would be more believable and interesting. I'm reminded of Scrooge from A Christmas Carol. His history led to his becoming a curmudgeon!Sandra Nachlingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16906884446237370105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625093777073151860.post-42121417502978703782015-06-10T15:52:59.724-05:002015-06-10T15:52:59.724-05:00I tend to watch mysteries or romantic comedies. I...I tend to watch mysteries or romantic comedies. I don't like villains or anything/one scary. I had to give up reading thrillers because I couldn't sleep at night and had night mares. I don't watch any of the "creepy/villainous" shows and usually close my eyes during the commercials for them. I have watched Skyfall and loved everyone but the bad guy. I can barely remember him because I probably closed my eyes during those scenes... I love the Sherlock Holmes movies with Robert Downey Jr. but there are several scenes in those movies, I haven't watched completely. I know, I'm a wuss! LOL The abominable snowman in Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer scared me as a kid. I'd sit on the stair every Christmas time and watch the show until the abominable snowman came on then I'd go to bed. <br />This is a great post!!Paty Jagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257614436422105729noreply@blogger.com
