[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8681564, member: 22779"] I'd point out too that villain doesn't mean that you're evil. That terrible storm that wrecks the ships in a man vs nature story is still the villain. That's what a villain is - the thing that drives the plot and is opposed by the protagonist. Maybe if we use Antagonist instead of villain, people would be happier? But, make no mistake about it, Wanda is pretty much the villain/antagonist here. Again, that she's unaware that she's murdering people doesn't really change anything. I'd point out that she keeps right on murdering people, even after she's aware of it - and it's only right at the tail end of WandaVision when Vision himself makes her face what she's done that she even begins to show the slightest remorse for the torture and murder of thousands of people that she's caused, all for her own personal gain. Sure, she's a sympathetic villain. Sure, we feel for her and can most definitely sympathize. But, it doesn't change the fact that she is out and out a villain in WandaVision and goes right down the path of evil in MoM. There's a fantastic quote from Number 5 in Season 3 of Umbrella Academy: "[B]You Know What They Call A Hero Who Doesn't Listen To Anyone, A Villain[/B]" [/QUOTE]
