What some people don't realize is that there is a difference between an antagonist and a villain. An antagonist is the one the protagonist is against, and the protagonist can be either good or bad, in some cases, the protagonist is a villain and the antagonist is a hero. Now, a villain is a character who does something that is truly evil and cruel, being slightly selfish and rude is not enough to make them true villains, and if a character is being controlled to do bad things but they are normally not so bad, they are not in control, so it is not their fault, so they cannot be called villains.
