TGC 193 — Villains Revised

Villains Revised

Fr. Jim Roemke



Have you noticed that all the old villains aren’t really villains anymore? Maleficent, Hannibal Lecter, Darth Vader, Cruella De Vil: All these villains aren’t so much villains, but rather people who have a psychological reason for what they do. If we could only understand them how they became that way, then they’re not so bad. 

In this episode, we look at villain revisionism. Where bad isn’t really bad, thereby destroying any conception of what is good.
