Answer Glory Daze's question (Villains and Revenge) · 5:59pm Dec 24th, 2021
"Consumed by his/her hatred for Twilight Sparkle and the My Little Ponies, He/She sold his/her soul for the power to destroy them."
That was inspired by ANASTASIA... (1997)
(Skip to 1:02)
you need to make a deal with Satan to get the upper hand? Plus you know, Satan tends to go for “pure” souls most of the time. Lastly, for someone who claimed he prays to god and swears to never turn evil, the fact you even just play with the idea of selling your soul to “destroy” a toy franchise is hilarious.
-Who said anything about Satan? In stories people have sold their souls to beings other than him, and besides, they are not pure soul. Rasputin is selling his soul to the Dark Forces (Not necessarily Satan)
-I was just using the quote for inspiration of stories, not reality.
-I'm not trying to destroy the franchise. I'm just angry, and I'm trying to cool off (Almost like taking a drug)
Also, what would be the long term achievement here?
Again, it's just a story, it's not real.
VILLAINS AND THEIR MOTIVES...
I've seen tons and tons of villains. It doesn't matter who they are, or how they are written... it's always the same thing.
More than 90% of bad guys and villains... they seek revenge on someone. All the rest are just ordinary power-hungry and seek to rule.
Totally spies... HAHA! Almost every single villain there was out fro revenge.
Violet Vanderfleet: She was dumped by many boyfriends, and decided all men were pigs and decided to turn them all into comatose zombies so that other women would be "Spared" her pain.
(Vengeance)
Dr. Logan Jay: Once a dentist to the stars, his license was revoked and his career ruined by the President of the United States. (He left Jay's patented whitening solution on for too long, and it ate through his teeth... yet Jay got the blame and punishment) So Jay decided to get revenge on ALL his clients by turning them all into smiling zombified freaks.
(Vengeance)
See...?
"Always with the revenge."
Even tons of the Batman villains are what they are for Vengeance...
Joker... Mr. Freeze... Poison Ivy... Two-Face...
In the TAS series, I love what The Riddler Did. (and pay attention to this one, because goes deep into the art of vengeance)
Edward Nygma used to be successful computer designer, but he was cheated out of money and fired by his pompous and scheming boss, Daniel Mockridge.
Enraged, Nygma becomes The Riddler, and states that he doesn't want restitution (He doesn't want money, his job back, recognition, ect, ect) what he wants is Mockridge to pay for what he did (He wants revenge)
Even though Batman and Robin saved Mockridge from the plot, Riddler escaped... he's still out there. Now Mockridge is constantly living in fear in terror, knowing that Riddler can still come after him at any time, and the next time... he may not be so lucky.
So even though Riddler didn't do Mockridge in, the fatc that Mockridge is now living in fear is a feel of satisfying revenge.
"Yes... now he fears me, as he should. Heh-Heh-Heh!"
So you see? To a villain, revenge is sweeter than a sugar-cube dipped in chocolate, and far more worthwhile than any forum of restitution their victims can give.
Alfred does make a point.

"Some men aren't looking for anything logical like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men... just wanna watch the world burn."
That's heavy... and awesome inspiration for stories to me.
And even Heroes... they fight for personal vengeance too at times.
Spiderman (1967) stated he was doing it avenge the death of Uncle Ben
Batman and Robin: They got even with the guys responsible for killing their respective families. (Almost letting the anger and outrage cloud their moral judgments and they nearly went overboard)
Why even Goku fought against Original Piccolo to win revenge for him killing his friends.
Revenge is usually at the main core when it comes to things like this.
Me... I just love revenge. The idea of paying people back for wronging me, or bullying me or things like that. (Who doesn't?)
I was raised and educated with more fear and threats rather than love and compassion, so naturally, I grew up hating things, and giving up on hope, or looking at the bright-side. I was just done... sick of hoping, or looking for, trying to get something that will never happen (Peace, love, more good times than bad.)
Heck, now that it's Christmas, I'm expecting my father to do what he always does every single holiday, anniversary, important event, ect, ect (Drink himself stupid, yell and scream at the family, cause dramatics, and sour moods that once again RUIN another holiday.)
One time, many years ago, he came home from work, he had no reason whatsoever... he just said "I feel like being angry." nothing bothered him. Nothing bad happened to him. He just wanted to be angry. So he started yelling and scream and breaking things and blaming the rest of us for his troubles.
(And don't you dare blame ME for his problems.) He was like this long before he even met my mom.
But don't go thinking I'm trying to sell my soul to the devil to get even with people... that was just inspiration for stories and how to give a villain power.
I use all kinds of things for inspiration, just because I want to see it...
Like when I made BEAST BOY IN EQUESTRIA, I wanted to see this...
After Beast Boy tells his sad story to the ponies, they fully understand now why he doesn't want to go back to his own world.
Celestia tries to assure BB "You can trust us."
She is so beautiful, loving, caring, and TRYING to be a good friend to Beast Boy, but because of his history, BB is more than justified in going...
"That's what they all said." Why should he believe that this will be any different?
And Twilight, I want to see her feel crushed for BB and finally understand...
"Poor Beast Boy. No wonder he doesn't believe in happy endings-- he's never had one. He doesn't know what it's like to suddenly have all your best dreams come true, and be at peace with the world." (Not like the way she does)
Still... I know what's going to happen...
You people still consider me "The worst human being in existence." even though I've done nothing to warrant such a thing, and that includes being a Sociopath.
Still... I like the concept of Revenge, and I'll take it over restitution for inspiration any day.
The Darkside is my muse... not friendship and trust.
He BECOMES Count Logan= He's doomed
He DOESN'T become Count Logan= He's doomed.
-I've punished him for letting go of Terra...
-I've punished Terra for breaking his heart...
-I've punished the Titans for being harsh towards him...
-I've punished the MLPs for being ignorant to the fact that Friendship can't always help or win...
"ahhhhhhhhh..." now I feel a little better. (Daily drug dosages for the TEMPORARY RELIEF of the symptoms) There is no permanent cure, and even if there is... it's much better THIS way.
Vengeance (Or just pretending to get a feel of it) can feel most satisfying.
i put a gun on a table and look BB straight in the eye
"see this, if i should shun you, betray you, or even hurt you in ANY WAY, it'll be on my head, and i WILL give you the right to do what you must, hence the gun. that is not just a promise, that is a guarantee, i only hope this proves that we wont let you down, as so many others have."
