Welcome back nerd squad, my name is Roya Destroyaa and this is Top 10 Nerd.
Have you ever been watching a movie or reading a comic and said to yourself, Òdude the bad
guy doesnÕt seem so bad at allÓ?
Well, you gotta admit, sometimes the villains donÕt have a bad idea at all.
Maybe they go about it the wrong way, but maybe they actually are right in this situation?
So letÕs take a look at the top 10 VILLAINS WHO WERE RIGHT.
In the number 10 spot, we have LEX LUTHOR.
LuthorÕs ultimate goal is to rid the world of Superman, and why exactly is he trying
so hard to do this?
Because heÕs hungry for power right?
Well, maybe getting rid of Suerman wouldnÕt be such a bad thing?
The existence of an alien being on earth who can do just about anything totally undermines
everything humanity has ever accomplished after years of hard work, making it likely
that humanity just stops trying and becomes dependant.
And thereÕs no guarantee that this being will always be good.
So get rid of the problem now and society can return to its rightful balance.
Coming in at number 9, IS JIGSAW from Saw.
When several life events showed John Kramer exactly how previous and fleeting life was,
he didnÕt look too fondly on those who took their life for granted.
Druggies, prostitutes, thieves, he kidnapped them all and placed them in life or death
traps that ended up showing his victims how much they valued their lives.
If they escaped alive, of course.
But the man was right: we as people take our lives for granted.
We say yolo and make bad choices, when really we should say yolo and make good, life-preserving
choices.
If anything, just to avoid that nasty reverse bear trap.
Next, at number 8 IS JAFAR from Aladdin.
Jafar wants to become the ruler of Agrabah.
But hold on a second: it turns out right from the start of the movie, he was already controlling
the real sultan through hypnotism, so the sultan was performing his every whim.
And what did Agrabah look like under JafarÕs indirect rule?
Pretty great actually: good economy, low crime rate except for that damn Aladdin, happy citizens.
Looks like he was right all along when he thought himself to be the best ruler.
Certainly better than that ditsy Sultan.
In the number 7 spot we have CARRIE from Carrie.
Poor Carrie just wanted to be a normal high school girl.
She didnÕt ask for a crazy mother who would lock her in a prayer closet.
She didnÕt ask for the kids at school to bully her.
All she asked for was a nice prom evening.
And she got it.
For a little while.
But we all know what happens next.
So you know what, those bullies had it coming.
Sometimes the only way to end bullying is to stand up for yourself.
Maybe not, you know, massacring everyone in the room.
But you know what I mean.
Coming in at number 6 we got KINGPIN.
Wilson fisk isnÕt a crime lord for the money or notoriety.
Well, maybe thatÕs part of it.
But he is a crime lord because he believes what heÕs doing helps the community.
If crime is going to exist, it must be organized and controlled.
And heÕs not wrongÑ some level of crime will always exist.
If having this guy at the top prevents mob wards, chaos, and total violence, then so
be it.
Next up, at number 5 IS THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST from the wizard of oz.
The wicked witch of the west never wanted to take over the world.
Hell, she didnÕt even want to capture Dorothy or eat Dorothy or steal DorothyÕs identity
or any of those fun things.
She just wanted a pair of shoes.
And not because they were super fly kicks, but because they belonged to her dead sister.
A sister Dorothy killed by smashing into her with her house, and then stealing her shoes!
So say sheÕs wicked all you want, those shoes were rightfully hers.
And we all know how passionate some people can be about shoes, youÕve seen those black
Friday videos.
Up next at number 4 is POISON IVY.
Compared to some of the other villains in BatmanÕs gallery, poison ivy is probably
one of the more important ones in a way.
This is because she brings up a really good point: we take crap care of our planet.
And our planet, especially the greenery, is kind important for, you know, living??
So her methods may be a little insane, but sheÕs thinking pretty clearly here.
Everything she does is so that she can escape humanity and live with her beloved plants.
Is that really so bad?
In the number 3 spot, WE HAVE OZYMANDIUS (oh-zee-man-dee-us).
ThereÕs even question as to whether this guy was even a villain or not.
When he observed the chaos and isolation of the nations around him, Adrian concocted a
plan to pull the world back into union, even if it meant a little destruction along the
way.
He wanted to pose a catastrophic event that would be so bad, it would bring the world
together to fight it.
And we have seen how countries pull together after disasters like earthquakes or terrorist
attacks.
The guy was smart.
But the peace never remains for long.
Coming in at number 2 IS MAGNETO.
While professor X is campaigning for a peaceful co-existance between humans and mutants, Magneto
is in opposition.
It is a little ironic that Magneto would be so against integration when he himself is
a victim of the segregation of world war 2.
But take a look around in the xmen world.
Mutants are subject to registration acts, warfare, and prisons.
Perhaps heÕs not all wrong.
In fact, he could be championed as the hero, at least from the mutantÕs point of view.
I mean, thereÕs gotta be a reason for those Magneto is right shirts.
And finally, in the number 1 spot WE GOT SAURON (sour-on) FROM LORD OF THE RINGS.
Sauron is the evil overlord of the rings, amassing his armies and trying to descend
upon middle earth.
But have you seen those good guy sauron memes?
ThereÕs a reason!
While he appeared as the oppressor, he was actually the hero to the oppressed minority,
the orcs.
The poor orcs were the underprivileged that Sauron welcomed into his inclusive army and
provided for.
So now you tell me whoÕs right.
The guy who gave a voice to the disenfranchised, or the guy who was obsessed with a piece of
ugly jewelry.
So those were the top 10 VILLAINS WHO WERE RIGHT.
Let me know in the comment section down below which villainÕs cause you would support.
