Why SuperVillains Are Terrible: Fixing General Zod

Bad villains make bad movies and good villains make great heroes. Simple! Let's have a rant at why comic book movies just seem to be falling apart when it comes to making memorable supervillains. They're infected...infected with 'Sequel Sell Anemia'... And along the way we'll try and explain how to do it better, tips for writers and directors, and give an example of how they could've improved the story in 'Man of Steel'. Mostly villains need to be sympathetic, which means understanable - they need an inner logic! Back to the rant-filled goodness! SPOILERS for 'Silence of the Lambs', 'Man of Steel', 'Captain America: The First Avenger', and 'Thor: The Dark World'... and more. 01:06 - Tip 1 01:40 - Tip 2 03:01 - Tip 3 03:30 - The Silence of The Lambs: Villain Example 03:40 - Rant Tip 04:00 - Rant Tip 04:32 - Comic Book Villainy 06:34 - Fixing Zod For educational purposes only.
