"Not everyone can be Vader, someone has to be Palpatine"
-Retrospect Greg
The only characters who had this were characters that weren't that main event villain
Deidara, Hidan, and most the Akatsuki
I also think this is why Madara was also a good villain. He literally did anything for the sake of it. The man was practically bored with existence and almost seem like he did anything to take his mind away
“What is better: to be born good or to overcome your evil nature through great effort ?”
-Paarthurnax
that kind of shows in neils performace as madara he sounds so bored til hashirama shows up
I would say the Uchiha were the worse when it came to what Kishi did again; they went crazy because they loved too much, which, when I first read it, I just laughed over how stupid it was.
I feel Kishi also didn't know when someone needed a tragic past, and I feel he overused it too much.
Now I remember watching season 8 of the walking dead when Carl died and I remember this that someone said.
"This was the most heartbreaking finale yet in the series, nothing could be more devastating than for a man to lose his son,"
Something I agree with and hence why Vanitas and I talk about a better way to make a villain is to have them lose a child, one that they love and feels the pain of losing them.
yep and the kicker is the loss of the "villain" child is the leaf and naruto fault
