Villains or antiheroes? Because this sounds like anti-heroes but villains are rather the people letting starving people die for profits.

This reminds me of the Phantom Troupe.
Basically the Harley Quinn show.
Was gonna say
I'm currently reading a series called Everybody Loves Large Chests. The protagonist is a dungeon mimic who gains sentience and levels up. It collects a bunch of sexy villain characters along the way. Surprisingly compelling.
I haven't seen it mentioned yet, but for a good read from a Villain perspective try A Practical Guide to Evil
Heros: "We did it, we finally killed the evil bad guy"
The evil bad guy's 12 best friends:
I like how they threw “sexy” in there.
Makes me think they’re talking about Always Sunny
Nothing sexier than cultivating mass.
the episodes of the venture bros where the monarch is forced to interact with other villains are the best.
Baron underbite knocking on the monarch's door for a place to crash because he "just got divorced"
Anybody read Worm by John McCrae / Wildbow? It's this and it's really really good https://parahumans.wordpress.com/
Actually, now that you mention it, Worm is this to a tee. Worm is still probably one of my favorite reads to date; highly recommend (it's like a The Boys with less evil corporations and more X-Men)!
spoiler
For all the praise, I'm not entirely sure I liked the ending, but the rest of the book more than makes up for it...
I keep telling myself to get around to reading Ward, but so far haven't had the time to commit to it.
Villains are usually better written, more developed characters while the good guys are just good for sake of being good.
Isn't that because there are fewer unambiguous ways to be "good"? Even many people doing "good" could be seen by others as being evil?
- "I'm saving the forest!" "You're killing loggers"
- "No one will every go hungry again!" "You stole every piece of arable land and only grow the food you want to exist"
- "I've saved everyone's soul. Everyone is going to the happy afterlife when they die!" "Which religion's afterlife are you calling the 'happy' one?"
Also, villains are often coded as minorities, whereas the heroes are basically the mainstream.
Dimension 20 basically did this with Escape From the Bloodkeep and it was, as usual, fantastic.
My first thought! Although apparently it was designed to end in PvP. One of the best seasons in my book, definitely the top sidequest season.
Jessie and James and Meowth
That’s basically Inspirational Skeletor.
kinda reminds me of iasip
I thought of Lost. They’re not all villains, but they’re all kind of shitty.
Hazbin Hotel kinda?
How would you say they are villains? Some may classify as antiheroes, but like… they basically literally try to save people from extermination.
Agatha all along.. Kinda.
