Why Do So Many Great Writers Always Make Their Villains Lose?

More often than not, villains lose. It's almost a guarantee that the main character defeats them and saves the day. But does this predictability limit the impact of a villain? Does their success determine their role in the story? In my last video I introduced a new framework to categorize every antagonist ever, separating them into three distinct layers. In this video, we cover the Obstacle layer. We go over villains including Darth Vader, Agent Smith, Regina George, and Apollo Creed. Together, they teach us that its not about winning or losing, but changing for the better. #starwars #darthvader #villains #antagonists #writingadvice Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 1:54 Agent Smith 4:51 Darth Vader 8:22 Regina George 11:59 Apollo Creed
