“What’s A Story Where The ‘Bad Guys’ Are Actually, Completely, 100% Right?” (39 Answers)

The duck from the duck song is such a d**k dude.

He goes to this man selling lemonade and harasses him for grapes when he’s obviously selling lemonade. The man is actually a saint and buys the duck some grapes and then the duck says f**k you, i wanted lemonade, not even from your stand.

A personal rant i’ve been thinking about.

The hyenas in The Lion King, I think. I don't remember well, but... Weren't they starving? If that was the case, it's normal they would support a new king that promise them food.

That children’s book about the Rainbow Fish. You don’t want to give away body parts to appease the other fish who don’t even like you? A*****e.

The bank in the movie Sing.

Buster Moon borrowed money against his building, and makes the llama seem like she's the bad person for collecting on the debt?

Also don't forget the people he hires, then pays with bad checks. Or the fact that he steals electricity from his neighbor.

That guy is a complete a*****e and piece of s**t.

The EPA in Ghostbusters!!

Tim Curry in Home Alone 2.  He is literally doing his job.  He should have just had the police arrest Kevin for using a stolen Credit Card 

The parents in Freaks and Geeks. They aren’t necessarily bad guys, but they only want their daughter to have a good future, and she has no appreciation for it. .

Trix bunny. Always felt bad for him.

“My Best Friend’s Wedding” Cameron Diaz’s character isn’t the villain, and Julia Roberts realizes that she is the villain.

The Rock. All General Hummel wanted was justice and compensation for his men who died fighting for their country. He was never going to launch the missiles.

Benny from the play RENT. He helped everyone out, paid for mimi's rehab, wasn't charging any rent at all for a while, and still hung around despite the constant disrespect. He was using his resources to build up the lower east side that was overrun by d**g addicts and homeless people, but that's bad.

Old School. The wives were correct. Tank was a man baby hanging out with college kids and the godfather was banging a high schooler.

The Dunlendings in Lord of the Rings.

The Numenoreans pushed them out of their lands and ravaged their forests for lumber in the Second Age. Then, Gondor gifted their ancestral homelands to the Rohirrim because of an alliance that didn't consider the Dunlendings whatsoever in the Third Age. When the Dunlendings resisted this, they were the bad guys from the perspective of "the West." They were forced off of their fertile land and into a wretched existence by colonizers. Yes, they were fooled by Saruman, but what option did they really have when no other powers in Middle Earth aided them whatsoever?

28 weeks later. Firebomb that kid.

Starship Troopers if you misunderstand it.

High school musical. Ryan and Sharpay worked so hard for those roles.

To some extent, I'd rank Francisco Scaramanga, because the primary reason Her Majesty sends 007 to stop him from selling a 99% solar efficient chip, is because it would tank the oil market and send the world into financial chaos.

Now You See Me


The "good" guy's Dad literally died because of his own stupidity. Safe companies don't design their products around underwater escape acts and insurance companies justifiably won't pay out of you die doing something so stupid.


Also, some of the heros' stunts could have easily [ended] bystanders (e.g. the staged car crash).

I kinda think Jumper. They really only got caught because they were using their powers to steal. Plus, it's not like you can put a person who can teleport in prison.

There’s entire videos about how Daniel is the true villain of Karate Kid.
