User blog comment:Magma MK-II/What makes a hero a villain?/@comment-1705775-20101120222404

ah here we go - another debate on cartoon characters.. let's get this straight folks: cartoons are just that.. cartoons. Trying to put morality to characters like Tom, Jerry, Donald Duck etc is futile - they inhabit a much more innocent world where they do crazy stuff not out of malice but out of the fact they are toons. Now onto the matter at hand.. can a nuisance be considered a villain? yes it can.. in fact it is what the Trickster is.. Mr. Myxplz (can NOT spell it) for example does nothing but annoy Superman yet he is still classed a villain by DC itself, Q is arguably a hero yet is also seen as a villain due to his tactics. Harming people doesn't just come from outright violence, terror or crime - it can come from simply annoying them: for example the recent article on Internet Trolls, normally it wouldn't make sense yet if you read it you understand that villains do indeed come in many different forms. So what makes a hero a villain? the answer is the same as what makes a hero a hero.. it's subjective and nobody will ever agree on it.
